Listening to the Vultures
Authors: Insignares Catalina 
Published: February 2025

Through this text, I will share the path I threaded starting from an individual one-to-one practice of mediation between a person deceased and a person alive, the Landscapes of the Dead, and arriving to a collective performative practice of noisy listening titled To know the vultures so well. This path has led me through intimate in-depth research on the different sensorial and imaginal relations we can establish with the dead. How did I relate to them as invisible entities that accompany the living? How was their apparent absence made present through different bodily practices?
The research was developed in response to the apparently “disenchanted” western context where I have been residing for almost 20 years, in which death is something that needs to be dealt with as quickly and as silently as possible. Certain places in the world get to forget about the killings that sustain their lives, because they have been made to forget that they too will die. Within my practice, loss is acting as an amplifier of connections with the world. Seeing death as part of life does not stop the grieving and the mourning, it does not dissolve the fear of death, but it does mean that we can inhabit the affective places made of the discomfort of loss and the discomfort of not knowing.
New insights into the production of volatile fatty acids through low-temperature anaerobic fermentation of sludge enhanced by peracetic acid
Authors: Kuang Yan , Chen Yan , Wei Yan , Zhao Jianwei 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

The production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) through anaerobic fermentation is a significant strategy for the resource utilization of excess sludge (ES). However, the limitations of low temperatures and slow ES hydrolysis rates have resulted in less than optimal volatile fatty acid (VFA) accumulation. This study reports a new method for improving ES low-temperature anaerobic fermentation for VFA production using peracetic acid (PAA) pretreatment and elucidates the underlying mechanisms. The results showed that at 10 °C, PAA significantly enhanced the release of organic matter during ES anaerobic fermentation, increasing the soluble chemical oxygen demand concentration in the fermentation liquid, thereby creating conditions for subsequent acidification processes and VFAs accumulation. When the PAA dosage was 9%, the production of VFAs reached approximately 239.5 mg COD/g volatile suspended solids (VSS), which was 1.47 times that of the control group. Mechanistic analysis revealed that PAA improved sludge hydrolysis and acidification under low-temperature conditions but inhibited VFAs consumption, increased the activity of enzymes related to the hydrolysis and acidification processes, and suppressed the activity of F420, thereby enhancing VFA accumulation. The findings provide an alternative solution for the low-temperature biological resource utilization of ES.

ABSTRACT

Wickerhamomyces anomalus is a yeast-producing mycocins and has antimicrobial action. Escherichia coli is the predominant bacterium of the coliforms group; its presence in water indicates fecal contamination, being used as an indicator of microbiological analyses. The immobilization of cells and substances demonstrates great potential for biotechnological applications. This work aimed to assess the activity of free and immobilized mycocins, obtained from W. anomalus, against E. coli strains and fecal coliforms. The mycocins were immobilized in different concentrations of sodium alginate and calcium chloride and tested to verify the antimicrobial activity against the E. coli strain and fecal coliforms present in water samples. The mycocins were able to inhibit all strains used in broth microdilution. Considering the problem of multidrug-resistant antibiotic strains and the need for new alternatives to improve the quality of water and sewage effluents, these results demonstrate a possible application as an alternative to an antimicrobial agent.

Pēdējos gados piemiņas prakse Eiropā ir mainījusies, un historiogrāfijā tiek lietots jēdziens “postheroisks”, lai aprakstītu šo atmiņu veidošanas transformāciju. Postheroisms apzīmē pārmaiņas, kad sabiedrības atzinība vairs netiek piedēvēta varoņdarbiem, bet gan konfliktu un karu upuriem. Šīs nesenās transformācijas Eiropas piemiņas praksē ir izaicinājums vienotas Eiropas identitātes idejai, jo identitāte, kas balstīta uz upura naratīvu, rada ekskluzīvu cietušās grupas identitāti un neļauj uzplaukt vienotas Eiropas identitātes ideālam. Latvijas kolektīvās atmiņas konstruēšana pēc valsts neatkarības atgūšanas 1990. gadā ir labs piemērs, lai raksturotu postheroisko identitāti; ar šo piemēru var ilustrēt sekas un sabiedrības izaicinājumus, kas pieņem šādu sevis attēlošanu.
The Spillover Effect of Dismissals on Audit Partners’ Current Engagement Fees and Quality
Authors: Amin Keval , Felix Robert , Hoang Kris 
Published: February 2025

SUMMARY
We examine the impact that an auditor dismissal has on the dismissed partners’ current client engagements. We argue that a recent dismissal negatively impacts the audit partner’s bargaining power, reducing the partner’s leverage during negotiations. Consistent with this notion, we document that dismissed partners charge lower audit fees and deliver lower-quality audits to their current clients. This relationship is concentrated for instances when the dismissing client is more economically important to the audit partner. These results are robust to entropy balancing, controls for partner and audit office traits, and a battery of sensitivity tests. Collectively, our study shows that dismissals have a spillover effect on an audit partner’s portfolio of current clients and provides evidence consistent with audit fees and quality declining following a recent dismissal.

OBJECTIVE
We assess diabetes risk in adulthood among adolescents with isolated glucosuria.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Included were adolescents (16–19 years) examined before military service between 1993 and 2015. Data were linked with the Israeli National Diabetes Registry. Glucosuria was confirmed following normal renal function and glucose tolerance tests. Cox models were applied.

RESULTS
The study included 1,611,467 adolescents, of whom 755 (0.05%) had glucosuria. The latter group had a higher proportion of males (75% vs. 57%) and a lower proportion of BMI ≥ 85th percentile (10.4% vs. 16.3%) compared with nonglucosuric (all P &lt; 0.001). During follow-up, 10,328 diabetes cases were recorded with an incidence rate of 87.5 and 43.3 per 100,000 person-years for those with versus without glucosuria, respectively. Individuals with glucosuria had an adjusted hazard ratio of 2.17 (95% CI, 1.17–4.04) for diabetes.

CONCLUSIONS
Glucosuria in adolescents is associated with an increased risk of early-onset diabetes.

Published: February 2025

Este estudo qualitativo teve o objetivo de compreender o trabalho artífice (TA) na atualidade em face à dominação da eficiência técnica no âmbito do trabalho. Foram investigados cinco trabalhadores artesãos. Os resultados indicam que o TA é composto pelas seguintes características: 1) ateliê como espaço de trabalho, 2) a impressão da autoria, 3) qualidade, 4) a manualidade, 5) autonomia e, 6) engajamento substantivo. A principal contribuição desta investigação revela que as características do trabalho artífice são permeadas por “limites” à máxima eficiência técnica produtiva. Esses “limites” constituem a essência desse modo de trabalho e, nesse estudo, são interpretados como uma virtude do modo de produção artífice. O estudo pode indicar possibilidades organizacionais de trabalho que valorizem “limites”, tais como encontrados no campo estudado.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution in aquatic systems has become a major problem on a global scale. Many heavy metals are regarded as essential nutrients that aid in fish growth and more effective feed utilization. However, when these metal concentrations rise over the maximum amount that can be tolerated, they disrupt ecological processes and jeopardize human and fish health. Fish are dangerous due to lead contamination in their body. Lead cause toxicity because they are long-lasting and non-biodegradable in the environment. This review looked at the impact of heavy metals on fish early development, growth, and reproduction. Fish embryos and larvae, as well as each developmental stage of the embryo, react to intoxication differently and varies between species. Lead poisoning has been linked to decreased gonad somatic index (GSI), fecundity, hatching rate, fertilization success, aberrant form of reproductive organs, and ultimately loss of reproduction in fish. In summary, this review aims to increase awareness of the prevention and control of aquatic environmental pollution while shedding insight on how heavy metals manipulate fish physiology, review also gives the validate concerns regarding potential impacts of deteriorating conditions of aquatic environment and their surroundings as well as impacts on fish species and from food chain it invades ecosystem dynamics.

Abstract
Avian coccidiosis is a protozoan infection caused by numerous Eimeria parasitic species and mainly affects the bird’s gastrointestinal tract and results in a reduction of the bird ‘ability to absorb nutrients, slower growth, with a higher mortality rate. According to recent research, immune-based treatments, such as dietary immunomodulating feed additives and recombinant vaccines, can help the hosts protect themselves from intracellular parasites and reduce inflammatory reactions caused by parasites. Coccidiosis control in the post-antiparasitic stage requires thoroughly investigation of the intricate relationships between the parasites, host defense system, enteroendocrine system, and gut microbiome contributing to coccidian infections. To produce a vaccine, it is crucial to explore the defense mechanism of the intestine’s immune machinery and to identify many effector molecules that act against intracellular parasites. Due to the massive usage of chemical anticoccidial drugs, coccidiosis developed resistant against most commonly used anticoccidials; therefore, numerous researches focused on the usage of safe natural anticoccidials such as probiotics, prebiotics, organic acids, and essential oils to counteract such resistance problem. This review describes how host immunity responds to coccidial infection in chickens and the use of some nonantiparasitic safe natural alternative controls to counter the disease. It would throw the light on the possibility of developing effective therapies against Eimeria to alleviate the detrimental effects of avian coccidiosis.
Intraabdominal hypertension is less common than it used to be: A pilot step wedge trial
Authors: Smith Shane , Priestap Fran , Parry Neil , Arntfield Robert , Murphy Patrick , Vogt Kelly , Ball Ian 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objective
This is a pilot study to determine the feasibility of a multicentre stepped wedge cluster randomized trial of implementing the 2013 World Society of the Intraabdominal Compartment Syndrome (WSACS) guidelines as an intervention to treat intraabdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) in critically ill patients.

Design
Single-centre before-and-after trial, with an observation / baseline period of 3 months followed by a 9-month intervention period.

Setting
A 35 bed medical-surgical-trauma intensive care unit in a tertiary level, Canadian hospital.

Patients
Recruitment from consecutively admitted adult intensive care unit patients.

Intervention
In the intervention period, treatment teams were prompted to implement WSACS interventions in all patients diagnosed with IAH.

Measurements and Main Results
129 patients were recruited, 59 during the observation period and 70 during the intervention period. Only 17.0% and 12.9%, respectively, met diagnostic criteria for IAH. Many recruited patients did not have intraabdominal pressures measured regularly per study protocol. There was no difference in ICU mortality for patients in either cohort or between those with and without IAH.

Conclusions
The incidence of IAH in our patient population has decreased significantly since 2015. This is likely due to a significant change in routine care of critically ill patients, especially with respect to judicious goal-directed fluid resuscitation. Patient recruitment and protocol adherence in this study were low, exacerbated by other staffing and logistical pressures during the study period. We conclude that a larger multicentre trial is unlikely to yield evidence of a detectable treatment effect.

Abstract

Introduction
The survival benefits of treatment at high-volume hospitals (HVHs) are well-documented for several critical pediatric conditions. However, their impact on pediatric sepsis, a leading cause of mortality among children, remains understudied.

Aim of the study
To investigate the association between hospital case volume and mortality rates in pediatric sepsis.

Material and Methods
We conducted a retrospective cohort study using data from the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database. The study included patients who met the following criteria: 1) aged 28 days to 17 years; 2) discharged from the hospital between April 2014 and March 2018; 3) had a sepsis diagnosis coded under the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision; 4) underwent blood cultures on hospital admission day (day 0) or day 1; 5) received antimicrobial agents on day 0 or 1; and 6) required at least one organ support measure (e.g., mechanical ventilation or vasopressors) on day 0 or 1. Hospitals were categorized by case volume during the study period, with HVHs defined as those in the highest quartile and low-volume hospitals (LVHs) as those in the remaining quartiles. In-hospital mortality rates between HVH and LVH groups were compared using mixed-effects logistic regression analysis with propensity score (PS) matching.

Results
A total of 934 pediatric patients were included in the study, with an overall in-hospital mortality rate of 16.1%. Of them, 234 were treated at 5 HVHs (≥26 patients in 4 years), and 700 at 234 LVHs (<26 patients in 4 years). Upon PS matching, patients treated at HVHs demonstrated significantly lower odds of in-hospital mortality compared with those treated at LVHs (odds ratio, 0.42; 95% confidence interval, 0.22–0.80; P = 0.008).

Conclusions
In pediatric patients with sepsis, treatment at HVHs was associated with lower odds of in-hospital mortality.
