Published: February 2025

Purpose: This study investigates the factors influencing retail firms' intentions to adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance customer retention and loyalty in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The research focuses on examining how perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, competitive pressure, technological readiness, and organizational innovativeness influence retail entrepreneurs’ adoption of AI as a strategic tool for customer engagement.
Research Methodology: A quantitative research design was employed, incorporating a hypothetical-deductive approach. The study utilized a cross-sectional design, drawing a sample of 250 retail firms through stratified random sampling in Dhaka. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using statistical techniques to assess the relationships between the variables.
Results: The study identified that all five factors perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, competitive pressure, technological readiness, and organizational innovativeness positively and significantly influence retail entrepreneurs' intentions to adopt AI. These findings emphasize the crucial role of both technological and organizational dynamics in driving AI adoption decisions within the retail sector.
Limitations: The research is geographically confined to retail firms in Dhaka, which may limit the generalizability of the findings to other regions or countries. Furthermore, the study's cross-sectional design restricts the ability to monitor AI adoption trends over time, indicating that future research could benefit from employing longitudinal designs and encompassing a broader geographical scope.
Contribution: This study provides valuable insights for retail managers and entrepreneurs seeking to leverage AI to enhance customer loyalty. It underscores the importance of fostering technological readiness and cultivating a culture of innovation within retail firms. The research contributes to the expanding body of knowledge on AI adoption in emerging markets, particularly concerning customer retention strategies in the retail sector.

Published: February 2025

Purpose: Failure to maintain an optimal balance between the benefits of long-term debts and the risks associated with financial distress often results in the erosion of shareholder value. In view of the above problem, this study examined whether long-term debts affect shareholder value diminution among listed oil and gas firms in Nigeria.
Research Methodology: The ex-post facto research design was deployed on a sample of five firms purposively selected from a population of nine listed oil and gas firms in Nigeria. Secondary data were sourced from the firms’ annual reports between 2014-2023. The hypotheses were tested using panel-estimated generalised least squares.
Results: An increase in long-term debt to asset ratio significantly contributes to shareholder value diminution (? = -42.56871; p-value of 0.0003); an increase in long-term debt to equity ratio significantly contributes to shareholder value diminution (? = -5.441092; p-value of 0.0005).
Limitations: The study sampled only five out of nine listed Nigerian oil and gas firms and relies solely on net assets per share to measure shareholder value, which may not fully capture the industry's broader financial dynamics.
Contribution: In conclusion, the over-reliance on long-term debt financing contributes to heightened financial vulnerability as well as sabotages the aim of maximising shareholders wealth. We recommend that the management of companies in the Nigerian oil and gas industry implement stricter controls on their long-term debt-to-asset ratios by setting a threshold beyond which debt levels should not increase in order to avoid significant shareholder value erosion.

Published: February 2025

El aislamiento absoluto es un procedimiento clínico que permite crear un ambiente óptimo para la práctica de operatoria dental y estética, y mejora los resultados de cada intervención. Además, contribuye a que los materiales utilizados mantengan sus propiedades. La elección tanto del tipo de aislamiento como de la técnica a emplear dependerá del tratamiento a realizar, ya sea de operatoria dental o de estética. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar el aislamiento absoluto en tratamientos operatorios y estéticos aplicado por los estudiantes de 7mo nivel en las clínicas odontológicas de la Universidad San Gregorio de Portoviejo. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal, donde se visitaron de manera presencial las clínicas de operatoria dental para observar cómo los estudiantes realizaron el proceso de aislamiento absoluto previo a la restauración en el paciente. Se empleó una guía de observación con criterios sobre el procedimiento. El estudio mostró un manejo adecuado del aislamiento absoluto en tratamientos operatorios, pero identificó áreas de mejora, como el uso limitado de herramientas complementarias y la falta de tratamientos estéticos. Estos resultados destacan la necesidad de diversificar la formación clínica para incluir procedimientos estéticos y optimizar las prácticas, fortaleciendo así la preparación de los estudiantes para la odontología futura.

Pengembangan sumber daya manusia masa depan mengharuskan individu untuk memiliki kemauan mengambil risiko, kemandirian, dan merasa terdorong untuk membuat keputusan yang mencerminkan nilai-nilai pribadi mereka. Individu tersebut diharapkan mampu mengembangkan berbagai potensi pribadinya melalui proses belajar yang berkelanjutan untuk menemukan jati dirinya. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut, dipilihlah teori belajar konstruktivis yang dapat memprediksi dengan lebih baik peralihan dari pendidikan yang berfokus pada aspek kognitif ke pengembangan potensi manusia seutuhnya. Teori ini juga menekankan pada aktivitas peserta didik dibandingkan pendidik. Dari perspektif konstruktivis, belajar adalah suatu proses di mana individu secara aktif menciptakan pengetahuan. Pembelajaran ini menuntut siswa untuk berpartisipasi aktif, berpikir, mengembangkan konsep, dan memahami apa yang dipelajarinya.
Supersensitive Seismic Magnetometry of White Dwarfs
Authors: Rui Nicholas Z. , Fuller Jim , Hermes J. J. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The origin of the magnetic fields in white dwarfs (WDs) remains mysterious. Magnetic WDs are traditionally associated with field strengths ≳1 MG, set by the sensitivity of typical spectroscopic magnetic field measurements. Informed by recent developments in red giant magnetoasteroseismology, we revisit the use of WD pulsations as a seismic magnetometer. WD pulsations primarily probe near-surface magnetic fields, whose effect on oscillation mode frequencies is to asymmetrize rotational multiplets and, if strong enough, suppress gravity-mode propagation altogether. The sensitivity of seismology to magnetic fields increases strongly with mode period and decreases quickly with the depth of the partial ionization-driven surface convective zone. We place upper limits for the magnetic fields in 24 pulsating WDs: 20 hydrogen-atmosphere (DAV) and three helium-atmosphere (DBV) carbon–oxygen WDs, and one extremely low-mass (helium-core) pulsator. These bounds are typically ∼1–10 kG, although they can reach down to ∼10–100 G for DAVs and helium-core WDs in which lower-frequency modes are excited. Seismic magnetometry may enable new insights into the formation and evolution of WD magnetism.

Abstract
The assembly of supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass (M
•) and stellar mass (M
*) in galaxies can be studied via the redshift evolution of the M
•–M
* relation, but the ways in which selection bias and physical assembly channels affect this evolution are uncertain. To address this, we compare the M
•–M
* relation for local massive (M
* > 1010.5
M
⊙) quiescent early-type galaxies (ETGs) to that for massive ETGs hosting active galactic nuclei (AGN) at z ∼ 0.8. The restrictions on stellar mass and galaxy type limit the assembly channels that may connect the two relations. For the local sample we find

, in line with prior work. For the z ∼ 0.8 sample we find a bias-corrected relation:

. We show, however, that this relation depends on the stellar and SMBH mass functions used to compute the selection bias, the virial relation, the virial factor, and the active fraction, which together introduce uncertainty of up to ​​​​​​∼0.6 dex in the z ∼ 0.8 relation. Adopting reasonable choices of these parameters then our z ∼ 0.8 relation lies above that for z ∼ 0 AGN by ∼0.5 dex, but below our z ∼ 0 ETG relation by 0.4–1 dex in SMBH mass. We discuss possible sources of this offset, including further bias corrections, “downsizing” in SMBH mass assembly, and preferential SMBH growth. Our results highlight the need to reduce uncertainties from selection and measurement bias in SMBH and stellar masses at all redshifts.

A rutura revolucionária na nação portuguesa resultante do 25 de Abril e as mobilizações políticas do nacionalismo cinquenta anos depois
Authors: Silva Afonso 
Published: February 2025

Partindo da interrogação acerca das interações entre o 25 de Abril e a nação portuguesa, este artigo comece por destacar o caráter de rutura da democratização portuguesa. Será tida em consideração a estrutura de oportunidade criada no contexto revolucionário para uma reação ao passado, particularmente o colonial, e a reorganização de narrativas sobre o passado que caracteriza uma rutura revolucionária. Assim, ao assinalar uma redefinição da imagem da nação, reflexiona-se acerca da interação assinalada não só no âmbito de uma rearticulação do imaginário nacional resultante do 25 de Abril, como também da ativação política dos temas do passado respeitante à democratização, destacando a descolonização, por parte da nova extrema-direita em articulação com o nacionalismo português pós-25 de Abril. Deste modo, procura-se contribuir neste artigo para o estudo da Revolução Portuguesa e da sua interação com o imaginário nacional no âmbito político-ideológico neste seu 50º aniversário.

Published: February 2025

Background:
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) stands as the definitive gold standard treatment for degenerative hip disorders. Various approaches have been proposed for THA, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. This study aimed to compare the initial functional outcomes of the lateral and posterolateral approaches to determine the approach with superior functional outcomes.

Materials and Methods:
Through a retrospective cohort study, THA candidates over a 1-year period were analyzed. Patients who underwent surgery via the lateral or posterolateral approaches were included. Demographic characteristics of patients and postoperative outcomes were compared. Patients were followed up for 1 and 6 months to evaluate their functional outcomes using the Harris Hip Score (HHS).

Results:
A total of 50 THA candidates, divided into two groups of lateral (N = 25) and posterolateral (N = 25) approaches, were evaluated in this study. Comparison of demographic data revealed a significant difference in height and body mass index between the two groups (P < 0.05), whereas age and weight showed no significant difference (P > 0.05). The mean HHS and range of motion significantly improved in each group after 6 months (P < 0.001). No significant difference was observed between the lateral and posterolateral approaches in terms of HHS and hip range of motion (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:
The results of this study demonstrate no significant difference between the outcomes of the lateral and posterolateral approaches for THA. The choice of the optimal THA approach remains contingent on the surgeon’s experience and the patient’s preference.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
This case report presents the diagnosis and management of a 41-year-old woman who developed a vesicouterine cutaneous fistula after a cesarean section. She initially presented with pus discharge from the cesarean wound site, and later exhibited cyclical hematuria and fluid leakage from the skin incision, prompting further investigation. Diagnostic modalities, including computed tomography with contrast, confirmed the presence of a complex fistula involving the bladder, uterus, and skin. Conservative management with gonadotropin-releasing hormone therapy was attempted but discontinued due to worsening symptoms. Surgical intervention was performed successfully, leading to the resolution of symptoms. This case underscores the importance of prompt recognition and appropriate management of rare postcesarean complications, emphasizing adherence to anatomical principles.

Authors: Loddo Alessandro , Kaza Leon , Saponara Stefania 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) and Asherman’s syndrome (AS) have been recognized medical conditions since the late 19th and mid-20th centuries. Multiple classification systems have been proposed to better understand their severity and implications. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the existing classifications for IUAs and introduces the Loddo scoring system, a novel approach for classifying these conditions. The Loddo scoring system is unique in amalgamating the strengths of previous classifications while emphasizing the importance of ultrasonographic endometrial thickness. This new system integrates various clinical parameters, offering a holistic representation of IUAs in clinical presentation and underlying structural changes. The Loddo scoring system presents a refined approach to understand and manage IUAs, providing a precise prognosis evaluation. Bridging the diagnostic and therapeutic divide seen in past systems, it offers promise for reshaping the landscape of diagnosis and treatment in women’s health. Further research and validation are essential to assess its broad clinical applicability.
