Published: February 2025

O artigo tem como objetivo geral analisar estudos sobre a produção da alveolar lateral do Inglês Língua Adicional (ILA). Baseado na visão de língua enquanto Sistema Adaptativo Complexo (Larsenfreeman, 1997) e na Teoria de Exemplares (Pierrehumbert, 2001; Bybee, 2001), buscaremos responder à pergunta-problema: de que maneira os aprendizes brasileiros de ILA realizam a lateral alveolar l no inglês de acordo com a literatura? Temos por hipótese que os aprendizes brasileiros de ILA básicos produzem de maneira não prototípica. O estudo trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica de caráter qualitativo sobre a produção do alveolar lateral por aprendizes brasileiros de ILA. Dessa forma, selecionamos três pesquisas quantitativas sobre a produção do que discutimos os resultados. A partir dos resultados, confirmamos a hipótese básica do estudo, visto que aprendizes brasileiros de ILA tendem a realizar de forma não prototípica devido à influência das variáveis independentes investigadas.

O encontro da causa secreta: Machado de Assis em “Encontros na península”, de Milton Hatoum/The meeting of the secret cause: Machado de Assis in “Encounters on the peninsula”, by Milton Hatoum
Authors: De Brito Zilmara Soares 
Published: February 2025

Fundamentado na pergunta que encerra o conto “Encontros na península”, de Milton Hatoum, o presente artigo tem por objetivo mostrar que tal texto literário faz inúmeras inferências, tanto em trechos do enredo, quanto à construção das personagens, com alguns contos de Machado de Assis, mormente o conto “A causa secreta”, proporcionando, portanto, uma análise comparativa. Para tanto, inicialmente, faz-se uma breve discussão sobre o conto na contemporaneidade, bem como a teoria de Piglia (2004), uma vez que a narrativa de Hatoum possui uma estrutura que não se delimita, mas se expande, revelando um enredo tão essencial quanto o que se mostra à princípio, seduzindo o leitor e conduzindo-o para um encontro com o bruxo do Cosme Velho. Para fundamentar tal análise, buscou-se expor alguns conceitos sobre o conto e sua imprecisão teórica (Gotlib, 2006; Gouveia, 2011; Silva, 2016), bem como a tese de Piglia (2004) e a literatura comparada assim como por Carvalhal (2006).

Authors: Faria Juliana Batista , Bragança Inês Ferreira de Souza 
Published: February 2025

Este artigo discute o processo de tematização pedagógica, um movimento interpretativo realizado por estudantes de cursos de licenciatura de uma universidade pública paulista, participantes de uma pesquisa-formação de pós-doutorado cujo objetivo foi desenvolver, por meio da Documentação Narrativa de Experiências Pedagógicas (DNEP), estratégias de leitura, escrita, edição e publicização de narrativas pedagógicas na formação inicial docente. A abordagem teórico-metodológica da pesquisa-formação situa-se no campo das (auto)biografias e narrativas em educação, em diálogo com o campo da formação docente e com os estudos nos/dos/com os cotidianos escolares. Por meio de diferentes dinâmicas que mobilizaram narrativas orais e escritas compartilhadas pelos estudantes, os encontros da pesquisa viabilizaram que eles pudessem produzir e ler as narrativas uns dos outros, escrever sobre si, para e com seus pares, conversar e refletir sobre as experiências relatadas e editar pedagogicamente os textos, de modo a expandir e aprofundar os sentidos de suas experiências pedagógicas a cada nova versão. A produção das tematizações pedagógicas, como trabalho hermenêutico, implicou os estudantes na reflexão sobre o processo investigativo-formativo e deu visibilidade aos saberes produzidos coletivamente. Como resultado, explicita-se uma das tematizações produzidas, indicando a contribuição desse movimento para as pesquisas narrativas e (auto)biográficas, ao considerar os narradores/as como autores/as e inspirar modos outros de compreensão das fontes narrativas. Destaca-se, ainda, que a produção e a reflexão sobre as narrativas pedagógicas podem contribuir com a investigação e a reflexão sobre as experiências de formação de outros estudantes das licenciaturas, professores da educação básica e professores universitários.

Objectives. To measure the effect of the ROE Act, which eliminated parental consent requirements for abortion for individuals ages 16 to 17 years, on abortion timing for adolescents in this age group in Massachusetts. Methods. The primary outcome was gestational duration at abortion for individuals aged 16 to 19 years at Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts from 2017 to 2022. Our control group included abortions among those aged 18 to 19 years. In our primary analysis, we used a comparative interrupted time series with a linear model to capture temporal trends, seasonality, whether an abortion was undergone during the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, previous abortion, and race/ethnicity categories. Results. Minors aged 16 to 17 years underwent 749 abortions during the study. Individuals aged 18 to 19 years underwent 2773 abortions. The ROE Act resulted in a 5.46-day decrease in gestational duration at abortion among minors (95% confidence interval = −11.82, 0.91). Conclusions. Removal of the parental involvement requirement for adolescents aged 16 to 17 years in Massachusetts led to minors undergoing abortions at earlier gestational durations, highlighting the importance of potential impacts of similar legislation to decrease barriers to abortion access for minors.

Cauda Equina Syndrome: A Review of Classification, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Best Practices
Authors: Karikaran Arjuna , Carroll Austin H. , Benn Lancelot , Okorie Nnaemeka , Bellaire Christopher P. , Puvanesarajah Varun , Mesfin Addisu 
Published: February 2025

Background:
Cauda equina syndrome (CES) is a rare but life-altering disease resulting from compression of the nerve roots at the spinal cord's terminus. CES typically presents with low back pain, sciatica, sensorimotor deficits, and bowel and bladder dysfunction. Owing to its rarity, the condition is often missed, leading to significant morbidity and potential legal implications for physicians.

Methods:
This review synthesizes the current literature on CES, including its epidemiology, pathophysiology, classifications, and management strategies. Emphasis is placed on the diagnosis and treatment of CES as well as the legal implications of CES for spine surgeons.

Results:
The literature reveals variability in the reported prevalence of CES, with incidence rates ranging from 0.34 to 7 per 100,000 individuals annually. The timing of decompression remains debated. Some studies report no significant difference in outcomes between decompression within 24 hours vs. 48 hours, while others emphasize the importance of immediate intervention. Legal cases related to CES frequently involve delayed diagnosis, with significant ramifications for physicians.

Conclusions:
Surgical decompression remains the definitive treatment of CES, though the timing of surgery requires careful consideration to balance the urgency of intervention with the risks of complications. Further research is needed to explore strategies that would allow for improvement in identifying and treating patients with CES in a timely manner.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Nature has a delicate system for catalysis due to optimization through evolution, which often displays unparalleled efficiency and selectivity. “learning from nature” is a popular and effective approach in designing new reactions and catalysts when traditional strategies fail. Here, we proved that it can be highly rewarding to consider nature’s repertoire of catalysis during the effort to facilitate the challenging heterolytic C–O bond cleavage of methanol (MeOH) by studying its metabolism by methyltransferase complex in certain methanogenic microorganisms that contains a Brønsted acid cluster flanked by a Zinc moiety, which led to the identification of the combination of an easily available Brønsted acid Cat.1 and Zn(OTf)2 as a highly efficient and practical binary catalyst for cooperative MeOH activation in various important methylation reactions, including some of those carried out in large scale in industry with significantly increased selectivity under relatively less demanding reaction conditions. This method activates MeOH via heterolytic C–O bond cleavage rather than C–H bond cleavage, therefore, inexpensive and less toxic CD3OD could be used directly as an effective d3-methylating agent. Mechanistic studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest a synergy between Cat.1 and Zn(OTf)2, suggestive of that found in methanol-activating MtaBC complex in Methanosarcina barkeri.

Abstract

Visual feedback derived from digital subtraction angiography (DSA) images is indispensable for guiding interventional decisions during vascular procedures, as real-time DSA imaging provides critical information about the precise positioning of instruments within the vasculature. Excessive bending of the guidewire or microwire tip can pose significant risks, including potential damage to the intimal surface. To address this challenge, this study aims to integrate DSA-based visual feedback into the closed-loop control of an endovascular robotic system, thereby enhancing its safety and intelligence to prevent excessive wire bending. Building on prior work, we propose a distributed hardware and software architecture for the robotic system. This architecture enables robust support for various combinations of interventional instruments while ensuring efficient and reliable transmission of data and commands between system modules. A key innovation is the introduction of vision-based collaborative assistance, which utilizes DSA images to segment the interventional instrument and calculate its bending energy based on the wire’s curvature. This calculated energy is then constrained through nonlinear thresholds to establish a closed-loop control logic. The vascular interventional robotic system was deployed in a standard interventional operating room and evaluated through experiments involving vascular phantoms and animal models. These evaluations demonstrated the system’s capabilities in teleoperation, low communication latency across modules, and improved procedural safety and intelligence facilitated by the vision co-pilot. Quantitative results indicated that the vision co-pilot significantly reduced excessive bending of the microwire tip, enabling smoother, safer, and more efficient completion of interventional tasks.

Abstract

Purpose
Soil-transmitted helminth infections affect people who live in areas with poor sanitation, low socioeconomical level. Ascaris lumbricoides is one of the most frequent parasites worldwide and in México. The General Directorate of Epidemiology reports data related to infections weekly, and this study was based on that. The aim of this study was to analyze the SINAVE data for twenty years (2003–2022) to assess the incidence of ascariasis in the United Mexican States.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective observational analysis of ascariasis from January 2003 to December 2022, classifying data by year, age group, state gender, and season. A predictive model was used to estimate the new cases until 2030.
Results
From 2003 to 2022, the total number of new cases registered in the whole country decreased by 81.2%. The geographical distribution of the new cases was more pronounced in the Neotropical region of Yucatan, Tabasco, and Chiapas States. Women and infants from 1 to 9 years old exhibited the highest incidence. The prediction model showed that in 2030, there will be an incidence higher than 15000 new cases in the United Mexican States.
Conclusions
This work indicates that Ascaris infection tends to decrease, which could be related to hands hygiene and the look down during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Role of End-to-End and End-to-Side Anastomoses in Free Flap Success: A Comprehensive Analysis
Authors: CENGİZ İHTİŞAM ZAFER , YAVUZ ENSARİ 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effects of end-to-end and end-to-side anastomosis techniques on arterial and venous thrombosis rates in free flap surgery and to examine their relationship with flap success rates.
Materials and Methods: The study includes 472 free flap patients who underwent surgery between 2016 and 2024 at Çukurova University and Atlas University hospitals. A total of 86 patients with additional comorbidities or hypercoagulable conditions were excluded from the study. A total of 911 anastomoses were analyzed, of which 41% were end-to-side and 59% were end-to-end. Arterial and venous thrombosis rates were retrospectively analyzed, and the data were statistically evaluated using SPSS software.
Results: No significant difference was observed in thrombosis rates between end-to-end and end-to-side arterial anastomoses (p>0.05). However, end-to-side venous anastomoses demonstrated significantly lower thrombosis rates compared to end-to-end venous anastomoses (p<0.05). Flap success rates were higher in cases with end-to-side anastomoses, where venous thrombosis rates were notably lower.
Conclusion: End-to-side anastomosis emerges as a more effective technique in reducing thrombosis rates, particularly in venous anastomoses. The absence of a significant difference between end-to-end and end-to-side techniques in arterial anastomoses suggests that both methods can be safely utilized based on the surgeon's preference and the vascular anatomy. This study highlights the impact of anastomosis technique selection on the success of free flap surgery. However, as vessel diameter and type could not be comprehensively analyzed for their effects on thrombosis, further studies are needed in this area.
Maturation of captive male giant grouper Epinephelus lanceolatus in subtropical waters in Japan
Authors: Masuma Shukei , Aoki Ryuichiro 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the maturation process of captive male giant grouper Epinephelus lanceolatus (GG) in the subtropical waters of the Amami Islands, Japan. The experiment commenced in February 2019 using 134 GG (3 years and 5 months old; mean body weight [BW] = 6.0 kg) raised from hatchery-reared juveniles. Of those, 31 were administered 17α-methyltestosterone (MT) at a concentration of 2 mg/kg BW using cholesterol pellets, and the others were not. We assessed the spermiation response (SpR) of all individuals approximately once a month for over one year, from April 2019 to May 2020. Sperm motility (%SM) was also assessed when sufficient semen samples were obtained. The SpR was observed in 22.3% (23/103) untreated and 93.5% (29/31) of MT-treated GG. Some individuals from both groups showed consistent SpR throughout the year. The mean %SM for MT-untreated and treated GG were 49 and 56%, respectively, with no significant difference between the groups. Histological analysis of the gonads of the untreated GG was conducted on three fish harvested in July 2019. While two transitioned from female to male and contained immature oocytes, another possessed fully functional testis; this suggests that sex reversal in GG involves a direct transition from immature female to male. Our study demonstrated that hatchery-reared male GG mature year-round and could maintain motile spermatozoa of consistent quality in the subtropical waters of the Amami Islands. This result is critical for improving any hybridisation using GG males. This study is the first to report on the reproductive ecology of male GG in subtropical waters.

Abstract

The increasing complexity of civil engineering demands innovative tools to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Computer-altered reality (CAR) technologies offer immersive environments that enhance learning outcomes. However, civil engineering education lags behind other disciplines in adopting these technologies. This study systematically reviewed 359 relevant studies from an initial pool of 1508 from 20214 to 2023 using a nine-step methodology involving keyword optimization, statistical analysis, and thematic mapping. The method employed was a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines. Key opportunities include improved visualization, increased engagement, and practical skill building, with 74% of studies reporting enhanced student performance. Trends reveal the growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and internet of things (IoT) into CAR platforms, enabling adaptive learning. For instance, AI-driven AR overlays improve site inspection accuracy by 36%, while IoT-linked virtual reality (VR) provides dynamic, contextual training. Comparatively, while disciplines like mechanical and aerospace engineering leverage CAR for design and manufacturing simulations, civil engineering applications are more focused on virtual construction sites and structural analysis, reflecting unique characteristics. Significant challenges persist, including high implementation costs (68%), insufficient educator training (54%), and limited infrastructure (41%). Ethical and psychological considerations remain largely unaddressed, with 95% of studies overlooking privacy, cybersecurity, and long-term psychological impacts, such as VR-induced discomfort. These gaps present critical areas for future research to ensure responsible CAR integration. Future directions include cost-effective CAR solutions, improved educator training, interdisciplinary collaborations, and a focus on ethical and cybersecurity concerns. Addressing the long-term psychological impacts of CAR technologies also remains imperative.
