Thermodynamics of hadronization: The rotating lepton model explains key CERN experiments
Constantinos G. Vayenas, Professor at the University of Patras, Academy of Athens, explores the thermodynamics of hadronization, using the Rotating Lepton Model and two key CERN experiments. The observation of neutrino production in the recent pp collision CERN experiments (1) has confirmed that hadrons consist of neutrinos. (2) This is also confirmed by the observed hadron and boson formation during the e+-e- annihilation experiments at CERN (3), where positrons and electrons have been shown to catalyze hadron formation from ambient neutrinos.

Therapeutic potential of the endocannabinoid system to treat chronic pain in inflammatory disease
Pharma researchers Julie Blaising and Philip Smith from F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. discuss the endocannabinoid system as a pathway to treat inflammatory diseases such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and endometriosis. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a complex system that comprises the cannabinoid receptors 1 and 2 (CB1 and CB2, respectively), endocannabinoid (EC) ligands, and enzymes involved in the synthesis and degradation of endocannabinoids. (1) It is broadly expressed in the body and modulates physiology and immunity. (2, 3)

The future of AVS, dizziness, and vertigo in emergency departments: Part II. Policy innovations for transformative change
In the second article of this five-part series, Dr Millie Nakatsuka discusses the barriers that contribute to the overuse of neuroimaging associated with the diagnosis of acute vestibular syndrome and proposes systemic reform. In the fast-paced and high-stakes emergency environment, physicians use tacit guidelines and heuristic shortcuts as efficient and accurate methods to support clinical decision-making. These vital intuitive processes are nevertheless vulnerable to cognitive biases that distort healthcare provision, driven by systemic professional, organisational, and public pressures that function as perverse incentives.

Decoding the patterns of spiderweb capitalism
Dr Kimberly Kay Hoang, the Director of Global Studies at the University of Chicago’s Department of Sociology, reflects on ‘spiderweb capitalism’ and her efforts to unravel opaque financial networks worldwide. I am a sociologist interested in deal-making in emerging and frontier markets. I use ethnographic and interview methods to examine highly risky, corrupt markets with no clear rule of law. Introducing the concept of ‘spiderweb capitalism,’ I build on the work of network scholars by exploring the substantive material that flows between two nodes in a network and by uncovering how totally disparate networks are connected. This is especially important in new frontiers where relationships with state officials are crucial to getting insider access to the most lucrative deals and securing profitable exit opportunities.

EURO-CORDEX: A community effort provides the basis for regional climate adaptation in Europe
Climate change is a worldwide threat to humanity and to human activities. Especially in the densely populated continent of Europe, targeted adaptation to the man-made changes in climate is necessary. The facets of climate change differ from region to region, even within Europe, as do human activities within the continent. Therefore, the impacts of climate change are also diverse and are specific to each region. Potential adaptation measures need to consider many different aspects, among which are the projected local climate change, its potential impact, human activities and its costs. A basis for the planning of targeted adaptation measures is the scientifically sound analysis and provision of regional to local climate information. To provide this basis is one of the tasks the EURO-CORDEX community assigned to itself.

Published: April 2024

Infertility in females is a devastating problem whose solution has posed a lot of challenges due to the difficulty and complexity of identifying the exact cause and etiology among different individuals. This study evaluated copper/zinc ratio, total protein, albumin and reproductive hormones in infertile females in Port Harcourt. This was a case-control study, carried out among residents of Port Harcourt. A total of 130 female subjects within the age of 18 and 49 years were recruited for the study; 65 infertile subjects and 65 apparently healthy fertile control subjects. Approximately 10 mL of blood was collected using standard venipuncture technique from each subject on day 3 and 21 of the menstrual cycle. Samples for copper, zinc, total protein and albumin were analyzed using colorimetric methods, while the reproductive hormones were analyzed using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay. Data generated were analyzed using Graph-Pad Prism version 8.0.2 and P≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. This study revealed a significant increase on day 3 and 21 in mean copper 27.68±10.78 and 20.29 ± 16.41 (P<0.001 and P=0.043) levels in infertile women when compared to the mean copper 16.82±4.52 and 15.20 ±5.29 of control group respectively. Copper/zinc ratio was also increased in the infertile group with mean levels of 11.40±1.82 and 3.27 ±0.59 on days 3 and 21 compared to the control group with mean levels of 4.53±0.76 and 1.46 ±0.12 (P=0.010 and P=0.004) respectively. There was significant decrease on day 3 of Menstrual cycle in Mean ± SD levels of Total Protein 72.62 ±7.84 in infertile group and 77.23 ±4.71 in control group (P< 0.001), and albumin 40.54 ±4.79 in infertile group and 44.82 ±3.64 in control group (P=< 0.001) respectively. There was no significant difference in mean zinc level (P=0.402) on day 3, but mean zinc level 10.74 ±4.58 was significantly decreased on day 21 in infertile females compared to the control 12.91 ±4.73 group (P=0.009). There was also significant increase in mean levels of Luteinizing hormone 8.64 ±4.32 infertile and 7.16 ±2.21 control (P=0.016), prolactin 27.02 ±18.55 infertile and 12.28 ±6.44 control (p<0.001), and testosterone 0.74 ±0.25 infertile and 0.38 ±0.18 control (P<0.001) respectively. There was a significant decrease in mean levels of estrogen 28.66 ±10.34 infertile and 41.79 ±4.55 control (P<0.001), and progesterone 7.71 ±6.38 infertile and 15.63 ±6.57 control (P<0.001) respectively. However, there was no significant difference in mean levels of follicle stimulating hormone (P=0.519). The findings in this study indicate that a high copper/zinc ratio is associated with alterations in levels of reproductive hormones. Hence, micronutrient supplementation to maintain optimum levels will be beneficial for infertile females.
Student motivation in Waldorf foreign language classrooms
Authors: Montenegro Aida 
Published: April 2024

This paper contributes to the understanding of the concept of student motivation in foreign language learning. Taking into account Waldorf teachers’ optimal classroom experiences (n=18) in foreign language classrooms, this study presents as a conclusion two relationships that emerge in a language learning process: the relationship between the learner and his/her learning environment and the relationship between the learner and his/her school subject. These relationships display seven key aspects namely relatedness/autonomy, contemplation, curiosity, received/offered feedback, language complexity, tolerance towards language, and sensorial activation. These aspects were analysed taking into account a theoretical framework focused on student motivation. This paper encourages teachers and researchers to investigate the Waldorf Approach for teaching foreign languages, not only in Waldorf schools, but also in mainstream public school and multicultural settings that are applying this approach.
Implicaciones de la censura en el desarrollo de los lenguajes del cuerpo: de la palabra al cuerpo en la escena española de los setenta
Authors: Rodríguez Alonso Mariángeles 
Published: April 2024

El presente trabajo focaliza su atención en el viraje que se produce en el horizonte de la vanguardia escénica de los setenta desde la palabra hacia el cuerpo. A través de las poéticas dramatúrgicas y escénicas del teatro independiente se funda un nuevo sentido de la teatralidad en el que la palabra ya no ostenta el lugar central. Asistimos al abandono progresivo del textocentrismo en pos de una escena de mayor sensorialidad y fisicidad. El artículo se detiene en primer lugar en el dibujo de este desplazamiento para analizar después algunas de las implicaciones estéticas y políticas de la censura en la conformación de las poéticas teatrales del momento. Cuando la palabra es censurada deviene necesario hacer decir al cuerpo, de este modo, la censura interviene en el desarrollo de los lenguajes del cuerpo.
The Reconstruction of Identity in V.S. Naipaul's The Mimic Men and in Caryl Phillips'In the Falling Snow: Life and narration
Authors: Díaz de Olarte Cabada Miren Karmele 
Published: April 2024

This article draws inspiration from the concept of narrative identity whichstates that any coherent reconstruction of identity requires a narration of the self, that is, alife story created out of a meaningful reflexion on personal memoirs. The concept ofnarrative identity, albeit coming from the social sciences, has its literary counterpart infirst-person narratives. Since Ralph Singh, in Naipaul’s The Mimic Men and Earl Gordon, inCaryl Phillip's In the Falling Snow revisit their life-stories through autobiography and
confession respectively, it seems feasible to consider these two first-person narrativemodalities as fictional examples of narrative identity.

Published: April 2024

The exponential function as a mathematical concept plays an important role in the corpus of mathematical knowledge, but unfortunately students have problems grasping it. Paper exposes example of exponential example of exponential function application in real world. One of the most prevalent application of exponential function involves growth and decay models. Exponential growth and decay show up in a host of natural application. From population Growth and continuously compounded interest to radioactive decay and Newton’s law of cooling, exponential function are ubiquitous in nature. In this section, we examine exponential growth and decay in the context of some of the application. In the preceding section, we examined a population growth problem in which the population grew at a fixed percentage each year. In that case, we found that the population can be described by exponential function. A similar analysis will show that any process in which a quantity grows by a fixed percentage each year can be modeled by an exponential function. Compound interest is good example of such a process. This work is motivated by the works of [1-15, 22]. Other example of exponential function are bacterial growth, bacterial decay, population decline, are obtained in this project.

The legend of Fama-Sundiata
Authors: Quénum Maximilien 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Introduction to, analysis of and text of a version of the Sunjata epic written by Maximilien Quénum and published in French in the author's stylishly produced text Trois Légendes Africaines of 1946. Dahomean Maximilien Quénum was a schoolteacher then university lecturer in France when he wrote this account of Sunjata. The introduction argues that he was inspired by Negritude thought and that his version is permeated with a spiritual evocation of African culture, contrasted strongly with a negative view of European culture, familiar from the writings and arguments of Leopold Senghor in the mid-1940s.

Results of a brief online group application of the unified protocol for the preventionof emotional disorders in university students: a pilot study with multiple baseline experimental design
Authors: Socías-Soler Jordi , Martínez-García Laura , Peris-Baquero Óscar , Osma Jorge 
Published: April 2024

Emotional disorders (EDs) are the most common disorders among the young population. The development of preventive programs for EDs is essential to avoid their possible appearance. Transdiagnostic prevention programs could present an advantage over existing ones to improve emotional regulation strategies. Thus, the objective of this study has been to determine the preliminary feasibility and effectiveness of a brief program based on the Unified Protocol (UP). The project consisted of a pilot study using a multiple baseline experimental design. Nine university students received a 5-session program based on the UP in online-group format. Significant differences were found after the intervention for emotion regulation, perceived social support and avoidance, with moderate-large effect sizes (Cohen's r = .49 - .59). These improvements showed increases at 1-month and 3-month follow-ups. Those results are in line with those showing that brief transdiagnostic preventive programs could be useful for the prevention of EDs in the university population.
Los trastornos emocionales (TEs) son los trastornos más comunes entre la población joven. El desarrollo de programas preventivos de los TEs es fundamental para evitar su posible aparición. Los programas de prevención transdiagnósticos podrían presentar una ventaja sobre los existentes para mejorar las estrategias de regulación emocional. Así, el objetivo de este estudio ha sido determinar la viabilidad y eficacia preliminar de un programa breve basado en el Protocolo Unificado (PU). El proyecto consistió en un estudio piloto utilizando un diseño experimental de línea base múltiple. Nueve estudiantes universitarios recibieron un programa de 5 sesiones basado en el PU en formato grupal online. Se encontraron diferencias significativas después de la intervención en la regulación de las emociones, el apoyo social percibido y la evitación, con tamaños del efecto moderados-grandes (r de Cohen = .49 - .59). Estas mejoras mostraron aumentos en los seguimientos al mes y a los 3 meses. Esos resultados están en línea con los que muestran que los programas preventivos transdiagnósticos breves podrían ser útiles para la prevención de los TEs en población universitaria.

Este estudo tem o objetivo de análisar a ciência das ligações químicas, enfatizando a energia potencial associada ao poço potencial que governa as forças de atração e repulsão entre átomos. A questão central para a investigação é a profundidade do poço potencial, um indicador da força da ligação química, cuja variação influencia diretamente a estabilidade molecular. A metodologia aplicada foi o levantamento de vários artigos sobre o tema bem como a utilizaçã de simulações numéricas a robustes dessas ligações. Esta abordagem permite um exame minucioso das interações atômicas e moleculares, superando limitações dos métodos experimentais convencionais.As simulações revelam o equilíbrio entre as forças de atração, responsáveis pela formação de ligações, e as forças de repulsão, que limitam a proximidade dos átomos. Esse equilíbrio é crucial para a compreensão da formação e ruptura de ligações químicas. Além disso, as implicações desses achados são discutidas em relação ao desenvolvimento de materiais avançados e catalisadores, destacando o potencial de manipulação da profundidade do poço potencial para inovação em química e engenharia de materiais.Em síntese, o presente estudo ilumina a importância da profundidade do poço potencial nas ligações químicas e exemplifica o valor das simulações numéricas na análise de interações atômicas. Os insights obtidos prometem avanços significativos na química de materiais e na catálise, oferecendo novas perspectivas para o design de materiais com propriedades específicas e catalisadores mais eficientes. Este trabalho não só aprofunda nosso entendimento das forças fundamentais que moldam as interações químicas, mas também abre caminho para futuras inovações na área.
