Authors: Świerczyńska-Chlaściak Małgorzata , Niedzielski Tomasz , Miziński Bartłomiej 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present the skills of two statistical models in anticipating the development of El Niño based on sea level anomaly (SLA) forecasts with lead time up to 12 weeks. The models are: (1) the polynomial-harmonic model (PH) combined with the threshold autoregressive model (TAR), known as the PH+TAR, and (2) PH integrated with the multivariate autoregressive model (MAR), referred to as PH+MAR. Five powerful El Niño events are considered: 1997/1998, 2002/2003, 2006/2007, 2009/2010, 2015/2016. The performance of the prediction models is calculated in specific locations in the equatorial Pacific, i.e. centres of Niño 1+2, Niño 3, Niño 3.4 and Niño 4 regions. It is found that the SLA predictions hitting the El Niño peaks reveal different accuracy for dissimilar El Niño events, with the most skillful prognoses for El Niño 1997/1998. Two specific regions are identified in which the model performance fulfils the assumed accuracy limit of 5 cm, namely the Niño 1+2 and Niño 4 regions. In addition, the PH+MAR model performed better than the PH+TAR solution.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
This pictorial essay clarifies the complex anatomical and ultrasonographic features of the Achilles tendon. Utilizing high-frequency ultrasound probes (12–18 MHz), the study visualizes the tripartite segmentation of the tendon as it relates to anatomical fascicles. Notably, there is variability in the ultrasound visibility of fascicles and this partition influences biomechanical properties and susceptibility to injury. This essay not only enhances the understanding of Achilles tendon anatomy but also underscores the importance of anatomical knowledge for comprehending associated pathologies. The findings suggest potential areas for further research into tendon pathology, facilitating the development of targeted rehabilitation strategies.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Adsorption, an essential surface phenomenon, is involved in many industries, from water purification to energy storage and carbon capture, aiming at negative emission technologies. The need to synthesize new materials for these applications necessitates the development of new, flexible modeling tools to simulate complex conditions. This work introduces a multi-scale model to simulate various adsorption scenarios. It involves simulating the details of interatomic interactions in molecular dynamics simulations and scaling up to a laboratory scale through cellular automaton modeling. To showcase its capabilities, we utilized the simplest form of the model to simulate Li-ion adsorption on the surface of an anatase TiO2 sheet. The probability of adsorption and desorption for a Li-ion is quantitatively determined through molecular dynamics simulations and subsequently incorporated into the cellular automaton model. This secondary model simulates the kinetic process of adsorption and quantifies the equilibrium degree of surface coverage across varying concentrations, facilitating comparison with the Langmuir isotherm. An inverse relationship between surface coverage and temperature is consistent with theoretical predictions. Given the model’s computational efficiency, which complements molecular dynamics simulations, it offers extensive potential for extension across a broad spectrum of applications where adsorption, intercalation, diffusion, and other critical surface phenomena are fundamental.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Powder Bed Fusion with Laser Beam of Metals (PBF-LB/M) faces challenges in reproducibility and quality assurance, even for widely applied alloys like AlSi10Mg. This work introduces a digital provenance framework for PBF-LB/M, showcased through the EOS M 300–4 multi-laser machine. An Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) pipeline autonomously captures machine data, including scan vectors as well as process signals, and organizes them into a Digital Shadow (DS). The DS is further extended by external data sources, such as Melt Pool Monitoring (MPM), to enable comprehensive analysis and root cause identification. This approach ensures continuous data representation and facilitates the development of new quality metrics. Moreover, the framework enhances quality assurance and traceability, supports compliance with industry standards, and improves productivity. It also enables more precise cost calculations and predictive maintenance. By addressing these challenges, the framework is essential for advancing PBF-LB/M in industrial applications, achieving greater consistency and scalability in production.

Abstract
Farmers and related professionals are at risk of depression due to laborious work requirements, financial challenges, seasonal working conditions, high residence in under-resourced areas, and low help-seeking behavior. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of personalized telephone coaching in reducing depressive symptom severity and other mental health problems in farmers. Participating farmers with elevated depressive symptoms (PHQ-9 ≥ 5) were randomly allocated to receive up to six months of personalized telephone coaching (N = 160) or enhanced treatment-as-usual (TAU +) with psychoeducational material via mail (N = 154). The coaching was conducted by psychologists and personalized in terms of sessions frequency, duration, and content. Depressive symptom severity and other mental health and work-related outcomes were assessed at baseline, and long-term after 12 and 18 months. Group differences were determined by covariance analysis adjusting for baseline severity. Group differences were observed in favor of the telephone coaching compared to TAU + in depressive symptom severity (d
12months = -0.34, d18months = -0.31), perceived stress (d
12months = -0.41, d
18months = -0.37), emotional exhaustion (d
12months = -0.29, d
18months = -0.28), and cynicism (d
12months = -0.32, d
18months = -0.34) at both follow-ups. Group differences in anxiety (d = -0.28) and quality of life (d = 0.30) were only observed at the 12-month assessment. No group differences were observed in depression onset, insomnia severity, panic and agoraphobia symptoms, alcohol consumption, professional efficiency, or self-reported prognosis of working capacity. Personalized telephone coaching as a promising remote prevention offer can reduce depressive symptom severity, generalized anxiety, perceived stress, emotional exhaustion, and cynicism, while additional support may be necessary to address aspects related to professional performance.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objectives
The purpose of this study was to investigate association between the aromatase (CYP19A1) rs2414096 polymorphism and the risk of prostate cancer development, progression and aggressiveness in the Slovak population.

Background
Aromatase catalyses the final reaction of androgens aromatization to estrogens, irreversible conversion of androstenedione to estrone and testosterone to estradiol.

Methods
The study population consisted of 721 prostate cancer patients and 660 men in the control group. Genotyping was performed via restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. The expression levels of CYP19A1 in prostate cancer tissues were compared with those in benign prostatic hyperplasia tissues.

Results
The CYP19A1 rs2414096 AA genotype and A allele were significantly associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer development. The significant association between this genotype and PSA level ≥ 10 ng/ml, Gleason score ≥ 7 and with the presence of metastases was observed. Significantly decreased relative expression of CYP19A1 was detected in prostate cancer tissues. Patients with the AA genotype presented higher relative CYP19A1 expression than did those with the GG genotype. Significantly lower circulating testosterone levels and higher serum PSA levels were detected in patients with the AA genotype.

Conclusion
The CYP19A1 rs2414096 polymorphism was significantly associated with prostate cancer development and aggressiveness in Slovak patients.
Pan-İmmune Inflammatory Index Predicts Increased Epicardial Adipose Tissue in Prediabetics
Authors: Yildirim Aslihan Mete , Bayramoglu Adil 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objectives
Prediabetes is a global health problem due to its adverse effects on glucose metabolism. Prediabetes also triggers many inflammatory mechanisms that can lead to vascular and molecular damage of various systems and organs. Pan-immun inflammatory level (PIV) is a new biomarker that is considered with many ianflammatory conditions. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is also considered an endocrine organ, which has been shown in many studies to be related to inflammation. There are studies showing that inflammatory parameters and epicardial adipose tissue are affected in diabetic patients. However, no such research has been conducted on prediabetic patients. In this study, we aimed to investigate inflammatory parameters and their relationship with epicardial adipose tissue in prediabetic patients.

Methods
220 patients with prediabetes and 96 healthy controls were compared in the study regarding laboratory and demographic parameters and echocardiographic evaluations.

Results
There were significant differences between the groups in various parameters including epicardial adipose tissue (p < 0.001), NLR (p = 0.011); SII (p = 0.003); PIV (p < 0.001), In prediabetic patients, epicardial adipose tissue was correlated with PIV (r: 0.490; p < 0.001), SII (r: 0.248; p < 0.001), and NLR (r: 0.234; p: 0.001). PIV and presence of prediabetes were independent predictors of epicardial adipose tissue.

Conclusion
In this study, we observed that the presence of prediabetes is associated with EAT thickness. Again, in this patient group, we thought that PIV could be an easily obtainable parameter that could indicate an increase in EAT thickness.
‘No one cares about the animal like me.’ Indian veterinarians’ experiences of improving animal welfare through Continuing Professional Development
Authors: Rayner Emma L , Bastola Ranjita , Bedre Sumanth , Gibson Andrew D , Gamble Luke , MacKay Jill RD 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Veterinarians are custodians of animal welfare, ensuring practices remain current and effective in the face of the ever-changing demands of the profession. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is essential for protecting animal welfare, however access to quality CPD is a challenge in many countries. India has one of the fastest growing veterinary industries globally, emphasising the importance of accessible CPD opportunities that are relevant to this setting. This study used focus groups to explore how Indian veterinarians identify relevant CPD, barriers they encounter, and their experiences with CPD. We describe three themes: (1) ‘career vs calling’, where veterinarians’ extrinsic and intrinsic motivational factors were identified, such as their desire to protect animal welfare; (2) being ‘willing to learn but can’t’, with context-specific barriers, such as accessing reliable CPD information; and (3) ‘real interactions matter’, where participants described how pedagogical design influenced their choices, e.g. being able to observe animal welfare improvements through practical teaching. We have three recommendations: firstly, to improve CPD learning opportunities informed by evidence-based methods, to meet knowledge and skills gaps such as the high demand for practically focused training; secondly, the development of a unified accreditation and quality assurance framework to assess content, relevance and delivery standards of available CPD options to veterinarians; and, lastly, improved support from employers to address current barriers and facilitate attendance. These findings contribute to the current knowledge gap of factors that influence Indian veterinarians’ experiences of attaining relevant, accessible CPD and makes suggestions to improve standards of veterinary care and, ultimately, patient welfare.
Digital policy and Nigeria’s Platform Code of Practice: towards a radical co-regulatory turn
Authors: Obia Vincent 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This study examines Nigeria’s National Information Technology Development Agency Code of Practice for Interactive Computer Service Platforms as one of Africa’s first push towards digital and social media co-regulation. Already established as a regulatory practice in Europe, co-regulation emphasises the need to impose duties of care on platforms and hold them, instead of users, accountable for safe online experiences. It is markedly different from the prior (and existing) regulatory paradigm in Nigeria, which is based on direct user regulation. By analysing the Code of Practice, therefore, this study considers what Nigeria’s radical turn towards co-regulation means for digital policy and social media regulation in relation to standards, information-gathering, and enforcement. It further sheds light on what co-regulation entails for digital regulatory practice in the wider African context, particularly in terms of the balance of power realities between Global North platforms and Global South countries.
Lactylation and human disease
Authors: Wan Linlin , Zhang HuiJuan , Liu Jialing , He Qian , Zhao Jiumei , Pan Chenglong , Zheng Kepu , Tang Yu 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background
Lactylation, a new epigenetic modification, is an important way in which lactate exerts physiological functions. There is a close relationship between increased lactylations caused by lactate and glycolysis, which can interact and play a role in disease through lactate as an intermediate mediator. Current research on lactylations has focused on histone lactylation, but non-histone lactylation also has greater research potential. Due to the ubiquity of lactate modifications in mammalian cells, an increasing number of studies have found that lactate modifications play important roles in tumour cell metabolism, gene transcription and immunity.

Methods
A systematic literature search was carried out using search key terms and synonyms. Full-paper screening was performed based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Results
Many literatures have reported that the lactylation of protein plays an important role in human diseases and is involved in the occurrence and development of human diseases.

Conclusions
This article summary the correlation between lactylation and glycolysis, histones and non-histone proteins; the relationship between lactonation modifications and tumour development; and the current existence of lactylation-related inhibitors, with a view to provide new basic research ideas and clinical therapeutic tools for lactylation-related diseases.
The Frontier Pushes Back: From Local Languages to Imperial Substrate(s) in Scribal Practices in 8th-century Central Asia
Authors: Garosi Eugenio 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This article draws on documentary texts from multilingual archives of early Islamic Central Asia to illustrate connections between the Arabic and Middle Iranian scribal world. Here, I contend that some lesser-known evidence from Sogdia contributes new elements to current debates on the contact between Arabic and Middle Iranian scribal traditions and provides a measure of “intensity” of Arab rule in the region more generally. In particular, ostraca from various Transoxanian administrative centers provide documentary confirmation that a class of biliterate Arabic-Sogdian scribes was active in the local bureaucracy as early as the mid-8th century. When viewed in dialogue with archives from coeval Iran and Iraq, the Transoxanian evidence helps lead to a more nuanced understanding of the so-called “Pahlavi diplomatic substrate” model.
Interacting urns on directed networks with node-dependent sampling and reinforcement
Authors: Kaur Gursharn , Sahasrabudhe Neeraja 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
We consider interacting urns on a finite directed network, where both sampling and reinforcement processes depend on the nodes of the network. This extends previous research by incorporating node-dependent sampling and reinforcement. We classify the sampling and reinforcement schemes, as well as the networks on which the proportion of balls of either colour in each urn converges almost surely to a deterministic limit. We also investigate conditions for achieving synchronisation of the colour proportions across the urns and analyse fluctuations under specific conditions on the reinforcement scheme and network structure.

Abstract
We have conducted a widefield, wideband, snapshot survey using the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) referred to as the Rapid ASKAP Continuum Survey (RACS). RACS covers ≈ 90% of the sky, with multiple observing epochs in three frequency bands sampling the ASKAP frequency range of 700–1 800 MHz. This paper describes the third major epoch at 1 655.5 MHz, RACS-high, and the subsequent imaging and catalogue data release. The RACS-high observations at 1 655.5MHz are otherwise similar to the previously released RACS-mid (at 1367.5 MHz), and were calibrated and imaged with minimal changes. From the 1 493 images covering the sky up to declination ≈ +48°, we present a catalogue of 2 677 509 radio sources. The catalogue is constructed from images with a median root-mean-square noise of ≈ 195 μJy PSF−1 (point-spread function) and a median angular resolution of 11″. 8 × 8″. 1. The overall reliability of the catalogue is estimated to be 99.18 %, and we find a decrease in reliability as angular resolution improves. We estimate the brightness scale to be accurate to 10 %, and the astrometric accuracy to be within ≈ 0″. 6 in right ascension and ≈ 0″. 7 in declination after correction of a systematic declination-dependent offset. All data products from RACS-high, including calibrated visibility datasets, images from individual observations, full-sensitivity mosaics, and the all-sky catalogue are available at the CSIRO ASKAP Science Data Archive.

Association between household air pollution due to solid fuel use and sleep problems among older adults in India
Authors: Rani Ritu , Selvamani Y. , Arokiasamy Perianayagam 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Household air pollution (HAP) presents numerous health challenges. The association between HAP and sleep problems has not been extensively studied. This paper examined the effect of HAP due to solid fuel use on sleep problems among older adults in India. Data from the initial phase of the Longitudinal Aging Study in India, which included 51,060 individuals aged 50 years and older, was utilised. Sleep problems were defined as experiencing difficulty falling asleep, waking up during the night, or waking up too early at least five times per week and were classified as a binary variable. Exposure to HAP was defined as the use of solid fuel for household purposes. Multivariate logistic regression was employed to assess the association, and additionally, interaction analysis was conducted to explore the potential moderating effects of age, gender, and residence on this association. The prevalence of sleep problems among older adults was around 12.7%. Sleep problems were higher among older adults who used solid fuel for cooking (OR = 1.25; 95% CI: 1.17, 1.33) and other purposes (OR = 1.13; 95% CI: 1.06, 1.20) in the adjusted model. The place of cooking, ventilation, and type of stove played a significant role in the association between solid fuel use and sleep problems. Individuals over 65, females, and those residing in rural areas were particularly vulnerable to sleep problems due to HAP exposure. The findings highlight the importance of reducing HAP exposure by transitioning to clean fuels as a public health priority within initiatives aimed at promoting healthy aging.
Non-academic writing on popular music in the Czech lands after 1945
Authors: Opekar Aleš 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This article examines writing about popular music which took place outside the academic sphere in the Czech nation after 1945. This is not just the usual magazine and book journalism. Owing to the censorship of all publishing entities by the state and the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia 1948–1989, alternative publishing platforms played a very important role in mediating the professional exchange of opinions and information on topics that were not preferred or even forbidden elsewhere. These included periodicals of various social organisations and interest institutions as well as privately produced and distributed printed matter and manuscripts. The article compares how these activities have evolved over time in the context of political change and reflects on the functions they have fulfilled in society.
