Published: April 2024

Angel sharks (Squatina spp. Duméril, 1805) are a group of coastal benthic sharks distributed worldwide, currently including threatened and understudied species. Two species are formally described along the East Pacific coast, the California angel shark S. californica Ayres, 1859 and the Chilean angel shark S. armata (Philippi, 1887). The latter species occurs in the southeastern Pacific and has historically been understudied. Additionally, the original description of S. armata lacks sufficient data to confidently identify individuals of this species compared to modern descriptions, and no type specimen is currently available to ensure specimen identification. Detailed morphological descriptions for identifying species are an essential resource for solving taxonomic issues in groups of morphologically similar species and to promote the conservation of critically endangered species. Therefore, a neotype from the type locality is here designated for S. armata, and a detailed and standardized morphological characterization based on modern taxonomic works is provided. This work contributes in improving the knowledge on the Chilean angel shark taxonomy and provides an improved frame of reference for identifying angel sharks in the East Pacific, especially in areas where species may occur in sympatry.
Wilhelm Stenhammar as an actor in the late 18th century musical life of Stockholm
Authors: Reese Willen Anne 
Published: April 2024

In his monumental biographical work on Stenhammar, Bo Wallner declares that an account of only life and work would be too narrow to understand his achievements as one of the greatest composers, conductors and pianists in Swedish music history. Therefore, Wallners work explores not only the biography and works of Stenhammar, but also the age in which he worked. However, Wallners account for the time Stenhammar entered the musical life and the beginning of his carrier is painted rather negatively. The centuries around the turn of the 20th century is characterized by a growing infrastructure within the concert life through the establishment of symphony orchestras and concert halls, which offered new possibilities for professional work in the musical field. With this article, I want to problematize the idea of the 1880s and 1890s as a time of less activity and decline in the musical life of Stockholm and present alternative ways to understand period and actors working within this context. In this article I use a quantitative methods as well as supplementary qualitative studies to provide insights into the structures of the concert life. I will argue that a deeper understanding of the development within musical life can be achieved by studying the period from an extended historical perspective. By using a wider perspective and starting from the longer historical context, Stenhammar’s position and impact can be analyzed and contribute to new interpretations of his role as an actor within the musical life. This article also discusses Stenhammar's position in musical life through musical networks that existed within the city. I will focus especially on Stenhammar's activities as a chamber musician and problematize Wallner's view of the position of chamber music in the public music life of Stockholm.
A Linguistic Approach to Vocabulary Instruction: Using Etymology and Morphology to Learn Vocabulary, Improve Writing, and Read the World
Authors: Plackowski Amy 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The language strand of the Common Core State Standards in the United States (2010) dictates that students finishing their secondary education should be able to ‘demonstrate independence in gathering vocabulary knowledge when considering a word or phrase important to comprehension or expression’. Although the standards mention examining etymology and morphology to help teach vocabulary, these strategies are infrequently taught directly in favor of teaching students to use dictionaries and/or context clues. While valuable, these strategies by themselves do not give students the tools to decode an unfamiliar word or to understand the nature of language more broadly. This narrative details the process, successes, and challenges of integrating Historical Linguistics and morphology into vocabulary study over the course of one school year. It addresses the conception, planning, and implementation of this approach in two high school courses and levels. The learning goals of taking this approach are for students to be able to decode unfamiliar words when they encounter them outside of class, analyze the role of word choice in achieving a writer’s purpose, and appreciate linguistic variety by understanding language change. Vocabulary instruction is used within an antiracist pedagogy to examine linguistic privilege and prejudice, prescriptivism, and the relationship between language and power.
Late Pleistocene Hominin Settlement Patterns in the Central Balkans: Šalitrena Pećina, Serbia
Authors: Marín-Arroyo Ana B. , Jones Jennifer R. , Cristiani Emanuela , Stevens Rhiannon E. , Mihailović Dušan , Mihailović Bojana 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Recent research in the Central Balkans is discovering multiple human occupations previously unknown from the region, revealing its strategical location within Europe for human populations dispersing towards Central and Western Europe during the Pleistocene. Šalitrena Pećina (Serbia) contains evidence of late Neanderthal and early anatomically modern human (AMH) presence during the mid-to-late MIS 3. A Bayesian model of the radiocarbon dates, combined with the zooarchaeological and stable isotope analyses of the macromammals and technological analysis of the bone tools, provides new insight into subsistence strategies achieved by late Neanderthals and Aurignacian and Gravettian groups at the site. The results reveal diverse residential and short-temporal use of the cave by both human species. Bone tools show intensive use of the carcasses consumed for daily tools. The first evidence of Aurignacian and Gravettian bone industries in Serbia are presented here. Carnivores played a significant role after humans left the site. Radiocarbon dates indicate a millennium’s gap between Neanderthal and early AMH groups, and a few millennia between the Aurignacian and the Gravettian groups. Bone collagen δ13C and δ15N isotope values are indicative of a mixed forest and open landscapes near the cave, reflecting a more forested and humid condition during the Mousterian and colder environments during the Gravettian with open landscapes.
Refugial Foragers to Invasive Farmers: Socio-environmental Transitions During the Early Holocene in the Balkans
Authors: Linden Marc Vander 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The early Holocene in the Balkans is synonymous with extensive transformations of both environments and human societies. The new climatic conditions indeed led to a spatial expansion of thermophilous (warmth-loving) plant and animal species that were previously confined to refugial areas, eventually reshaping the local biomes, while glacial species disappeared from the region. These processes were paralleled by profound transformations in the distribution of the foraging populations, the existing yet sparse documentation suggesting clustering in specific ecological niches (e.g., Iron Gates, shores of the Adriatic coast). It is upon this template that, towards the second half of the 9th millennium calBP, cultigens and animal domesticates appear in the local archaeological record, apparently under the impetus of an incoming population of eventual Near Eastern origins, as suggested by recent ancient DNA (aDNA) research. This contribution will review the available environmental and archaeological evidence for the early Holocene, focusing on the extent to which ecological factors drove variation in human behaviours, especially food acquisition techniques (either foraging or farming). Particular attention will also be devoted to the identification and characterisation of population history as inferred from multiple categories of evidence, such as the 14C record, settlement patterns and aDNA.

This article examines the issue of the effectiveness of pronunciation applications for second language learning in terms of improvement in speaking proficiency. The issue of pronunciation is one of the cause of the most of the challenge to some language learners as a result of those linguistic and cultural factors. Because of the wide use of pronunciation apps in the contemporary digital world, their effectiveness in speech improvement needs to be examined. Data collection will be done through mixed-methods approach where quantitative analysis of apps usage data will be conducted along with qualitative interviews and assessments that will give a total picture of effect of pronunciation apps on the skill development. These apps can help to improve language learners' pronunciation more deeply, which then leads to increased confidence and a more fluent use of the target language. It is technology that makes this type of apps important tools during the process of second language acquisition. In conclusion, the research paper about the language education, the technology integration, and second language learning serves to improve the language learning for learners worldwide.
Clinical Efficacy of Percutaneous Balloon Compression Combined with Carbamazepine in the Treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia: A Retrospective Study
Authors: Yu Xing , Liang Yuan 
Published: April 2024

Objective: To investigate the effect of percutaneous balloon compression combined with carbamazepine on patients with Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN).
Methods: The clinical data of 126 patients with TN admitted to our hospital from January, 2021 to January, 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent percutaneous balloon compression in our hospital. The patients were divided into a control group and an observation group, according to whether they continued to take carbamazepine after surgery. The general demographic data of patients, such as gender, age, family income, education level, pain site, diseased nerve, course of disease, and duration of pain were collected. Propensity score matching was used to balance the baseline data of the two groups, and the quality of life, treatment effect, and complications of the two groups were compared after matching.
Results: After treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group (95.00%) was higher than that of the control group (70.00%) (p < 0.05). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in the scores for quality of life dimensions between the two groups (p > 0.05). After treatment, the scores for each quality of life dimension in the observation group were higher than those in the control group. After treatment, the incidence of complications in the observation group (7.50%) was lower than that in the control group (30.00%) (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: Percutaneous balloon compression combined with carbamazepine can effectively enhance the treatment of patients by improving their quality of life and reducing the occurrence of complications. These results can improve the clinical management of TN.

Authors: He Jia Wei , Zhu Zhan Peng , Cai Xiao Yan , Su Yan Feng , Li Pei Zhen 
Published: April 2024

Background: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a frequent complication following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), may lead to severe conditions like pulmonary embolism. Current knowledge on postoperative DVT risk factors is, however, limited. The aim of our study was to investigate the risk of DVT after PCNL.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent PCNL from March 2020 to March 2023 at our institution. Patient demographics and clinical data, including, DVT-specific information, preoperative labs, and surgical details, was evaluated.
Results: One hundred patients were included. Thirty-two (20 males, 12 females, mean age 52.5 ± 7.4 years) developed lower limb DVT post-surgery, while the remaining 68 (48 males, 20 females, mean age 51.1 ± 5.5 years) had no DVT symptoms. Analysis revealed significant correlations between hyperlipidemia, operating time, postoperative bed rest duration, D-dimer level on the first day after surgery, Caprini risk assessment model (RAM) score, and DVT risk. D-dimer on the first day after percutaneous nephrolithotomy, postoperative bed rest time and Caprini RAM scores were independent risk factors for DVT after PCNL. Sex, age, hypertension status, diabetes status and smoking and drinking habits were not significantly associated with DVT risk.
Conclusions: D-dimer on the first day after PCNL, postoperative bed rest time and Caprini RAM scores were independent risk factors for DVT after PCNL.
Undifferentiated Embryonal Sarcoma of the Liver with Epithelioid Features: A Case Report of an Exceptional Histological Heterogeneity among Rare Diseases
Authors: Kersik Alessia , Bracchetti Greta , Bonomi Alessandro , Bovo Giorgio , Serena Cuttin Maria , Germini Alessandro , Gjoni Elson , Granieri Stefano , Cotsoglou Christian 
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver (UESL) is a rare and aggressive malignant tumor, with nonspecific clinical symptoms and radiological features. Less than 150 cases have been reported in adults across the world.
Presentation of Case: We report a case of an extremely rare subtype of UESL with epithelioid features in a 29-year-old woman, presenting as a cystic lesion of 27 × 17 cm, completely subverting the right hepatic lobe. She underwent a right hepatectomy with anterior approach, complete hilum lymphadenectomy and partial diaphragmatic resection for local infiltration, followed by systemic chemotherapy. She remains with no evidence of disease and liver mass has been restored after 6 months.
Discussion: The present case report represents the second case of UESL with epithelioid features described across the world. The immunohistochemical expression pattern, cytokeratin (CK)19 + and CK7 –, strongly suggests an origin of this epithelioid component from native biliary cells and not from a reshaped ductal plate. Due to the rarity of this form, to date it is impossible to define the prognostic impact of this subtype of UESL, and treatment remains challenging.
Conclusion: UESL is associated with a poor prognosis, especially in adults, but a comprehensive and multidisciplinary treatment based on radical resection and adjuvant therapy may provide a survival benefit. Surgical excision with negative margins remains mandatory to diagnose and treat UESL.
Intragastric Balloon as a Noninvasive Method for Obesity Treatment: A Single-Center Retrospective Study
Authors: Eminoğlu Levent 
Published: April 2024

Background: The incidence of obesity is increasing globally, with approximately 1 in 3 adults either overweight or obese. Surgery provides the most effective treatment for advanced obesity; however, endoscopic treatment, including intragastric balloon therapy, is commonly used in patients who do not meet the indications for surgery. Our study aimed to evaluate short- and mid-term weight changes of patients who had intragastric balloon therapy.
Material and Methods: In this single-center retrospective study, we enrolled 320 patients with body mass index (BMI) values between 30 and 40 kg/m2 and without comorbidities, who underwent intragastric balloon treatment. 284 patients successfully underwent the operation. All patients were followed-up at 6 months after treatment, balloons were removed, and BMIs were recorded. Further follow-up was performed 6 months after balloon removal, and patients' BMI and demographic data were recorded again.
Results: Overall, 320 patients were enrolled in this study. In this cohort, 82 returned to their preprocedural weight at 1 year postprocedure, whereas 260 had BMI lower than the preprocedural values, but higher than the values at 6 months postprocedure. None of the patients had lower BMI compared to their 6-month postprocedural values.
Conclusions: Balloon therapy typically helps patients lose 10% of body weight. Intragastric balloons are effective when used as weight loss tools, but are ineffective at maintaining weight loss. An intragastric device placed for 6 months may also be expected to help the patients develop better eating habits; however, we did not encounter this lifestyle change in our series.
