La esfera religiosa de la mujer romana: espacio público vs privado
Authors: Molina Torres María Pilar 
Published: February 2025

En estas páginas se da una visión general de cómo el espacio público y privado influyó en las formas de religiosidad de las mujeres romanas. Aunque las diferencias no son todo lo claras que nos gustarían, no hay que olvidar que una devota debía ser capaz de hacer todo lo necesario para conseguir la estabilidad religiosa oficial y doméstica. Las fuentes literarias, epigráficas y especialmente las arqueológicas de Pompeya, nos acercan a las prácticas rituales donde la presencia femenina aparece simbolizada iconográficamente. Asimismo, sus actuaciones religiosas en la esfera pública se reservaron a organizaciones matronales que tuvieron un papel decisivo en determinadas festividades del calendario romano.
Reproducing or Challenging Dominant Constructions of Sexuality?: An Exploratory Study of AI-Generated Images Representing Disability and Sexuality

Published: February 2025

This study investigates the representation of disability and sexuality in AI-generated images amidst the surge of advanced AI tools capable of producing complex visual content. With AI’s integration into creative domains, concerns about reinforcing biases, particularly related to disability and sexuality, have arisen. This research examines if AI perpetuates existing stereotypes or fosters more nuanced representations that challenge societal perceptions. Historically, media narratives have often desexualized or infantilized disabled individuals, contributing to a narrow and stigmatized view of disability. However, advocacy by disabled activists and scholars has been gradually transforming this narrative towards inclusivity. Our exploratory analysis involved collecting images from leading AI platforms using the prompt “a couple with a disability kissing,” revealing the underlying biases of AI in portraying disabled individuals. We found that AI-generated images typically reinforced heteronormative and racially homogenous narratives, with a significant underrepresentation of 2SLGBTQ+ and non-white individuals. The study also noted a distinction between the portrayal of visible versus invisible disabilities, reflecting a limited understanding of disability. The research underscores the need for inclusive AI practices and active engagement with disabled communities to ensure authentic and respectful representations. As AI technology continues to evolve, it is crucial to ensure it complements rather than replaces the voices and visions of disabled individuals. This study provides some preliminary insights regarding the representation of disability and sexuality, highlighting the importance of ethical considerations and the inclusion of more diverse representations in AI-generated content.
The Patient Woman or the Woman Patient? Examining the Demographic Differences between Women Seeking and Not Seeking Treatment for Sexual Dysfunction
Authors: Zhang Hattie , Brotto Lori A. 
Published: February 2025

Although female sexual dysfunctions affect a significant number of women around the world, the majority of those struggling do not ever seek professional treatment. As past research mostly focused on logistical and psychological barriers to help-seeking, there remains a gap in knowledge of what demographic characteristics potentially differentiate those individuals who do versus do not solicit support. The objective of this study was to explore a set of demographic variables and their links to treatment-seeking behaviours, including: age, ethnicity, education, income, employment, sexual orientation, relationship status, religion, and history of non-consensual sexual experiences. We used data from four completed studies that asked participants about their history of treatment-seeking, and our analytic sample included N = 869 self-identified women ( M = 31.41, SD = 11.30, range 19–78). Education, age, income, and employment significantly predicted variables predicting help-seeking behaviours with treatment-seekers being more likely to be older, more educated, currently employed, and earning higher income. No significant associations were found for the other variables. Overall, the results demonstrate that there are notable demographic differences that separate help-seekers from non-seekers. As sexual well-being is an important aspect of one’s quality of life, risk factors that prevent people from seeking care for distressing sexual concerns should be a major public health priority. The limitations to the conclusions drawn in the paper due to data characteristics and analytic strategy are also discussed.
Sexual Risk-Taking: STIs and the Presence of Amplified Sexual Stigma
Authors: Petruzzello Gabriella , Renstrom Randall A. , Laine Linda E. 
Published: February 2025

Despite the high prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in our society and their increasing rates over the past decade, stigma continues to be harmful and pervasive. This study examines the perceptions of STIs and their implications for risk and social perceptions. Prolific participants ( N = 440) read one of six vignettes involving a sexual encounter in which a target unknowingly transmitted either a sexual illness (STI) or a non-sexual illness (H1N1) that varied in severity (moderate, severe, fatal) to another person. Targets who transmitted a sexual illness were rated as riskier, more negative overall, and more selfish, regardless of illness severity. In line with flawed risk evaluations, participants did not distinguish between moderate and severe STIs for both risk and interpersonal perceptions. All dependent variables demonstrated that STIs were viewed more negatively than non-sexual illnesses of an equal or greater severity. This study shows that the stigmatization of STIs is beyond their degree of severity, and this stigma produces damaging interpersonal perceptions and elevated risk assessments. Implications center around the need for continued stigma reduction and interventions to improve evaluations of risk.

Published: February 2025

The lack of effective security mechanisms on the Surface Web facilitates the occurrence of cybercrime. The high accessibility of the Surface Web also allows law enforcement agencies to more easily track and identify perpetrators. However, this motivates criminals to migrate to the Dark Web, the deepest layer of the internet that offers a higher level of security. This research aims to analyze the communication patterns utilized by terrorists on the dark web, propaganda, recruitment, and the use of cryptocurrency in transactions and fundraising by terrorists. The research method used is normative legal research with a conceptual and case approaches and qualitative analysis. This research analyses that terrorists have transitioned to using the Dark Net in a similar manner to how they have utilized the Surface Web over the past several decades, but there are now additional opportunities for tech-savvy operatives. Three main features, anonymity, encrypted messaging, and the use of cryptocurrency, work together to provide an environment that is almost perfect for terrorists on the Dark Web. This combination allows terrorists to conduct their operations more effectively and covertly, making the Dark Web a highly valuable tool for achieving their goals without significant risk of exposure and disruption by security authorities.

Published: February 2025

PurposeTo evaluate changes in thyroid function post-thermal ablation (TA) of thyroid nodules and to identify risk factors associated with post-ablation thyroid function abnormalities.Materials and methodsA retrospective analysis of 2,264 cases treated with TA between June 2015 and July 2024 was conducted, including 1,169 benign thyroid nodules (BTNs) and 1,095 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) cases. Thyrotropin (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3), and free thyroxine (FT4) levels were measured before treatment and at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-ablation.ResultFT3 levels remained significantly reduced at 12 months post-ablation (3.04 ± 0.42 vs. 3.15 ± 0.36 pg/mL; p &lt; 0.001). In contrast, FT4 levels showed a persistent increase at 12 months (1.36 ± 0.69 vs. 1.27 ± 0.15 ng/dL; p &lt; 0.001). Although TSH levels decreased slightly over time, they remained elevated at 12 months compared to baseline (1.80 ± 1.17 vs. 1.73 ± 0.84 μIU/mL; p = 0.029). At the end of the follow-up period, the incidence of thyroid function abnormalities was 5.07% (18/355), with only one patient requiring Thiamazole for antithyroid therapy. The cumulative incidence of thyroid function abnormalities was notably higher in the PTC group compared to the BTN group (17.80% vs. 10.94%; p &lt; 0.001). Pre-ablation TSH levels (OR= 2.06; 95% CI, 1.77–2.39; p &lt; 0.001), Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (OR = 2.66; 95% CI, 1.88–3.77; p &lt; 0.001), and multiple nodules were positively correlated with the occurrence of thyroid function abnormalities. The cutoff value of TSH was 2.015 μIU/mL with a sensitivity of 0.527 and a specificity of 0.246 (AUC = 0.625).ConclusionThermal ablation had a minimal impact on thyroid function. Pre-ablation TSH levels, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and multiple nodules were risk factors for post-ablation thyroid function abnormalities.

IntroductionThe current study demonstrated that oxidative stress (OS) is closely related to the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, there are numerous factors that lead to OS, therefore, identifying the key genes associated with PCOS that contribute to OS is crucial for elucidating the pathogenesis of PCOS and selecting appropriate treatment strategies.MethodsFour datasets (GSE95728, GSE106724, GSE138572, and GSE145296) were downloaded from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database. GSE95728 and GSE106724 were combined to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in PCOS. weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) was used to screen key module genes associated with PCOS. Differentially expressed OS related genes (DE-OSRGs) associated with PCOS were obtained by overlapping DEGs, key module genes, and OSRGs. Subsequently, the optimal machine model was obtained to identify key genes by comparing the performance of the random forest model (RF), support vector machine model (SVM), and generalized linear model (GLM). The molecular networks were constructed to reveal the non-coding regulatory mechanisms of key genes based on GSE138572 and GSE145296. The Drug-Gene Interaction Database (DGIdb) was used to predict the potential therapeutic agents of key genes for PCOS. Finally, the expression of key OSRGs was validated by RT-PCR.ResultsIn this study, 8 DE-OSRGs were identified. Based on the residuals and root mean square error of the three models, the best performance of RF was derived and 7 key genes (TNFSF10, CBL, IFNG, CP, CASP8, APOA1, and DDIT3) were identified. The GSEA enrichment analysis revealed that TNFSF10, CP, DDIT3, and INFG are all enriched in the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway and natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity pathways. The molecular regulatory network uncovered that both TNFSF10 and CBL are regulated by non-coding RNAs. Additionally, 70 potential therapeutic drugs for PCOS were predicted, with ibuprofen associated with DDIT3 and IFNG. RT-qPCR validation confirmed the expression trends of key genes IFNG, DDIT3, and APOA1 were consistent with the dataset, and the observed differences were statistically significant (P &lt; 0.05).ConclusionThe identification of seven key genes and molecular regulatory networks through bioinformatics analysis is of great significance for exploring the pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies of PCOS.

Published: February 2025

BackgroundThe etiology and pathogenesis of trigeminal neuralgia remain unclear. This study examines the connection between gut microbiota and trigeminal neuralgia using Mendelian randomization analysis to provide insights into the disorder’s origin and propose potential therapies based on our findings.MethodsWe used data from the MiBioGen consortium (13,266 participants) for gut microbiota and the IEU OpenGWAS project (800 cases, 195,047 controls) for trigeminal neuralgia. We checked for heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy and used the inverse variance weighting method as our main approach to study the causal link between gut bacteria and trigeminal neuralgia, MR-Egger, simple mode, weighted median, and weighted mode as supplementary methods, with a sensitivity test using leave-one-out analysis. If a bacteria-trigeminal neuralgia link was found, we conducted a reverse analysis for confirmation.ResultsAccording to the final results, these groups include Butyricimonas (Genus, id = 945, p-value = 0.007, OR = 1.742, 95% CI: 1.165–2.604), unknowngenus (Genus, id = 1000005479, p-value = 0.005, OR = 1.774, 95% CI: 1.187–2.651) and Bacteroidales (Family, p-value = 0.005, OR = 1.774, 95% CI: 1.187–2.651) were causally associated with trigeminal neuralgia. No significant results according to reverse Mendelian randomization analysis.ConclusionIn our study, we identified specific gut bacteria linked to trigeminal neuralgia. To comprehensively understand their impact and mechanisms, additional randomized trials are necessary.

BackgroundPost-stroke rehabilitation exercise is recognized as the most effective and preferred intervention to reduce disability rates in patients. However, adherence to exercise is low among stroke patients. Previous research has mainly focused on the negative psychological factors influencing adherence, while the positive psychological aspects remain underexplored. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the factors influencing adherence to rehabilitation exercises in acute stroke patients, especially the positive psychological factors, in order to reduce the disability rate of stroke.MethodsFrom October 2023 to March 2024, a total of 227 patients with acute stroke were selected from a Grade-A hospital in Chongqing, China, using total sampling method. The patients’ general demographic data, Stroke Functional Exercise Adherence Questionnaire Scale (EAQ), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD), and Index of Subjective Well-Being Scale (IWB) were assessed. ANOVA, t-test analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression models were used to explore the influencing factors in people with acute stroke.ResultsThe total score for rehabilitation exercise adherence in acute stroke patients was 38.41 ± 11.13, corresponding to a mean adherence rate of 68.6%. Factors influencing adherence to rehabilitation exercise in acute stroke patients were identified, including age (p &lt; 0.0001), presence of ICU stay (p = 0.03), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (p &lt; 0.0001), and subjective well-being (p &lt; 0.01).ConclusionAdherence to rehabilitation exercises in acute stroke patients was found to be medium. Our findings highlight that age, presence of ICU stay, and NIHSS score were found to have negative correlations with adherence. While a positive correlation was observed with subjective well-being.
