Background:
Diffusion-weighted imaging with background body signal suppression (DWIBS) is a new imaging tool for the diagnosis of breast lesions. This study aims to compare DWIBS with contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) sequences.

Materials and Methods:
Eighty consecutive patients underwent both CE-MRI and DWIBS images. DWIBS was assessed qualitatively and quantitatively using the apparent diffusion coefficient mapping. A threshold of 1.44 × 10-3 mm2/s was considered as a cutoff value between malignant and benign lesions. CE-MRI images were evaluated based on a combination of kinetic and morphological information and reported using Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System lexicon. Statistical analysis was performed for both sequences based on pathologic findings as a gold standard.

Results:
Fifty-five out of 80 lesions (69%) were benign, and 25 malignant lesions (31%) have been reported. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for CE-MRI were 100, 38, 42, and 100%, respectively, and those for DWIBS were 77, 70, 53, and 87%, respectively. By comparing DWIBS and CE-MRI data, no statistically significant difference was reported.

Conclusion:
DWIBS can be used as an effective alternative for breast CE-MRI in cases of contradictions of IV contrast injection.

A Comparative Analysis of Antibacterial Efficacy of Triple Antibiotic Paste and Modified Triple Antibiotic Paste against Enterococcus faecalis: An In vitro Study
Authors: Raut Ambar W. , Shenoi Pratima R. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Introduction:
Triple antibiotic paste (TAP), which is a mixture of ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and minocycline, is a commonly used intracanal medicament in root canal therapy, especially in regenerative endodontic procedures. The study aimed to evaluate and compare the antimicrobial effectiveness of conventional TAP and amoxicillin modified-TAP against Enterococcus faecalis.

Materials and Methods:
Antimicrobial effectiveness of the medicaments against E. faecalis was assessed using the agar diffusion test: conventional TAP containing ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and minocycline in 1:1:1 ratio and modified TAP containing ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and amoxicillin in 1:1:1 ratio. Distilled water was used as control. Two hundred microliters of each of the intracanal medicament were placed on the top of the agar plates, followed by incubation of the plates for 24 h at 37°C. The plates were examined for zones of inhibition of microbial growth after incubation period. The diameters of the zones were evaluated and measured in millimeters.

Results:
The mean zone of inhibition in TAP and modified TAP was 32 and 31.5 mm, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between TAP and modified TAP (P = 0.3917).

Conclusion:
Amoxicillin-modified TAP was as effective as conventional TAP, against E. faecalis and thus may be used as its alternative.
The value of a collaborative community of practice to disseminate an inclusive pedagogy in a UK university
Authors: Cornforth Alison 
Published: January 2025

Collaboration between academic and professional support colleagues, including those working between roles or third space professionals, is essential to develop ongoing teaching practice in higher education (HE). From the perspective of a ‘third space professional’, this study evaluates the value of a university-wide collaboratively developed website as an inclusive Community of Practice (CoP) in a post-1992 university. The website aimed to share inclusive teaching resources, designed in previous practice, and initiatives for colleagues new to teaching, with the purpose of supporting new Professional Standards Framework (PSF) (AdvanceHE, 2023) criteria. A small-scale case study approach was taken using mixed methods of semi-structured interviews and pre and post launch website data analytics to triangulate and analyse data. The existence, benefits and challenges in collaboration between professional support and academic colleagues were evaluated. The value of the website was also analysed as a model to build collaboration as a CoP to promote teaching development and disseminate an inclusive pedagogy. Although the will to collaborate was identified, alongside increased recognition of professional colleagues’ credentials, opportunities to collaborate were reduced due to workloads, time and a research-intensive culture where teaching initiatives and collaborations were less valued. This study suggests that third space professionals can promote value in teaching development in Education Developer roles by increasing the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) and designing theory-based teaching resources to support academic workloads and encourage collaboration.
An overlooked EDI issue… can valuing the diversity of third space professionals support a more sustainable future in higher education?
Authors: Milton Emmajane , Yhnell Emma , Jones Kathryn 
Published: January 2025

Do teaching-focused colleagues in the higher education (HE) sector feel they belong? Or do they often feel like misfits who challenge the status quo by not conforming to traditional academic stereotypes? In this short opinion piece, we explore the complexity and diversity of roles held by third space professionals in teaching-focused roles and the impact this has on their sense of identity, belonging, and value. We argue that there needs to be a concerted effort to grapple and genuinely engage with this thorny and deep-rooted issue, to enable these colleagues to feel they are included and valued in their institutions and across the sector.
Given the dynamic and turbulent context within which UK HE is operating, recognising the diverse talents and expertise of third space professionals could support the sector to respond to future uncertainties by unlocking untapped potential. Whilst for some this may seem counterintuitive – to be diluting the traditionally understood role of an academic – it may be essential to help institutions modernise and creatively meet new challenges. Third space professionals occupying teaching-focused roles can provide unique skill sets, offer alternate perspectives, problem-solve, and enable effective communication with stakeholders which will help to ensure a more sustainable and positive future.

Abstract. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission delivers unprecedented swath-altimetry products. Despite SWOT's 2D coverage and precision, its Level-2 ocean products suffer from the same limitations as their counterparts from nadir altimetry missions. To achieve the mission's primary science objectives, the space agencies generate Level-2 ocean products with SWOT alone. In contrast, some research domains and applications require consistent multi-mission observations, such as the Level-3 ocean products provided by the Data Unification and Altimeter Combination System (DUACS) for almost 3 decades and with 20 different satellites. In this paper, we describe how we extended the Level-3 algorithms to handle SWOT's unique swath-altimeter data. We also illustrate and discuss the benefits, relevance, and limitations of Level-3 swath-altimeter products for various research domains.

Published: January 2025

Safeguard atau tindakan pengamanan perdagangan adalah salah satu instrumen hukum negara untuk melindungi warga negara dari dampak serius akibat kerugian yang ditimbulkan dari lonjakan cepat jumlah barang impor tertentu yang terjadi dalam perdagangan dalam negeri. World Trade Organisation (WTO) sebagai organisasi perdagangan internasional telah menyusun rambu rambu normatif terkait perdagangan internasional yang bertujuan untuk menciptakan persaingan yang sehat bagi anggotanya, dan untuk mewujudkannya WTO telah membuka peluang seluas luasnya untuk mendukung terciptanya perdagangan bebas dengan mengusung norma norma yang telah diatur oleh WTO. Sebagai negara yang tergabung dalam berbagai perjanjian perdagangan bebas yang dilakukan secara bilateral maupun regional, kebijakan terkait pengaturan safeguard menjadi salah satu bagian yang penting untuk melindungi kepentingan dalam negeri akibat membanjirnya produk produk impor di dalam negeri. Rumusan dalam penelitian ini adalah Bagaimana Efektifitas Penerapan Prinsip Kerjasama Perdagangan Bebas dalam Kebijakan Nasional terkait Tindakan Pengamanan Perdagangan (Safeguard) untuk melindungi Industri Dalam Negeri? Apakah substansi pengaturan safeguard di Indonesia telah sesuai dengan kaidah kaidah normatif terkait safeguard yang telah diatur oleh WTO? Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian yuridis normatif. Hasil pembahasan penelitian ini diharapkan dapat digunakan untuk memecahkan masalah terkait perlindungan hukum atas ancaman kerugian akibat tidak maksimalnya perlindungan negara kepada warga negaranya dari ancaman kerugian serius akibat serbuan produk luar negeri dalam rangka kerjasama ekonomi perdagangan bebas (Free Trade Area) antar negara maupun kumpulan negara, yang saat ini telah diratifikasi, sehingga perdagangan bebas ini tidak merugikan bangsa indonesia dan pengaturan akan safeguard di negara Indonesia sejalan dengan norma norma terkait safeguard yang telah diatur oleh WTO. Namun, pada tahap implementasinya karena permasalahan kelembagaan dan kebijakan safeguard yang kurang maksimal, diperlukan suatu terobosan yang dapat memangkas prosedur kerja dalam pemecahan masalah terkait safeguard.
Ich-Sagen. Eine Genealogie der Situiertheit
Authors: Sprenger Florian 
Published: January 2025

Sich verorten, eine Position einnehmen, den eigenen Standpunkt benennen und das Motiv des eigenen Sprechens in dieses Sprechen einfließen zu lassen, ist in der letzten Dekade zu einem elementaren Sprechakt geworden. Aber warum verspüre ich überhaupt das Bedürfnis, meine Aussagen auf meinen Ort in der Gesellschaft und meine soziale Position zu beziehen? Ist es nicht irrelevant, von wo aus ich spreche und wer ich bin, weil allein zählt, was ich sage? Oder beeinflusst der Ort, von dem aus ich spreche, was ich sagen oder nicht sagen kann? Diese Fragen (und die Aufforderung, die hinter ihnen steht) verweisen auf das, was seit den späten 1980er Jahren Situiertheit genannt wird: die Annahme, dass Wissen partial ist, dass das, was jemand sagt, von Voraussetzungen, Bedingungen, Privilegien, blinden Flecken oder Diskriminierungen seiner oder ihrer Position abhängt und dass das, was wir tun, wissen oder denken, stets in unsere Situation eingebettet ist. In Ich-sagen skizziert Florian Sprenger die Begriffs- und Wissensgeschichte der Situiertheit und fragt zugleich, wie er überhaupt ein Buch über dieses Thema schreiben kann. Ohne diese Begründung, die immer an der Schwelle zur Rechtfertigung steht, wirkt das Buch unvollständig. Doch um zu verstehen, wie Praktiken und Sprechakte des Situierens eine derartige Aufladung erfahren konnten, reicht es nicht, in der Gegenwart zu bleiben und die oft ungenaue Debatte um Identitätspolitik aufzuschlüsseln. Vielmehr ist es nötig, über die aktuellen Verwendungen des Begriffs der Situiertheit hinaus einen weiten Bogen zu spannen und seiner verwinkelten Geschichte zu folgen.

Published: January 2025

Gastrointestinal parasites and their control in buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) represent increasing production costs. To improve sanitary plans in buffalo herds, experimental field re-search was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of three commercial anthelmintics against strongylids parasites in buffalo calves. The effectiveness of the anthelmintics was estimated through faecal egg count (FEC) reduction percentage. The study was conducted in a buffalo system dedicated to milk and meat production with crossbreed animals (Murrah and Mediterranean breeds) in the South of Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela. Twenty-eight buffalo calves, naturally infected, with a parasite load ≥ 350 eggs per gram of faeces (EPG), and age between 2 and 3 months, with an average weight of 65.9 kgs, were selected. The animals were grouped into four treatments: T0 control without anthelmintic; T1 fenbendazole 10%, Intervet laboratory, Brazil, at 5mg/kg orally; T2 ivermectin 1%, SIGMA laboratory, Venezuela, at 0.2 mg/kg subcutaneously; and T3 levamisole hydrochloride 22.3%, Valmor laboratory, Venezuela, at 4.5 mg/kg subcutaneously. The anthelmintics were applied in a single dose on day zero (0) of the research. A coprological diagnosis was performed prior to treatment and at 14 (A), 21 (B) and 28 (C) days after treatment. The faecal samples were examined by applying McMaster’s technique with saturated saline. Data was analyzed with descriptive statistics and the nonparametric Friedman test. The FEC reduction percentage was calculated for each anthelmintic. Moreover, the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval was calculated for each anthelmintic (low-CI95%). The mean EPG before treatment (BT) was 907.1 EPG, 978.6 EPG, 1057.1 EPG, and 921.4 EPG for T0, T1, T2, and T3, respectively. The mean of EPG during the evaluation of the different treatments showed significant variations (p<0.05): T1 in A (42.9), B (200) and C (178.6). For T2 in A (671.4), B (571.4) and C (964); and for T3 in A (41.7), B (92.9) and C (121.4). The FEC reduction percentage at times A, B and C at T1 was 97%, 81.1% and 84.7% and a low-CI 95% of 67%; for T2 it was 51.5%, 46% and 17.4% and a low-CI 95% of -7.2%; and for T3 it was 97%, 91.2% and 89.6% and a low-CI 95% of 82.9%. Conclusions are that T1 and T3 presented a mean of EPG at low levels (≤ 200) during the evaluated period in comparison to T2, which remained at a high level of infection (> 500). Furthermore, levamisole was most effective against strongylids. In the case of ivermectin, the FEC reduction percentage was less than 90% during the trial, resulting in a low-CI 95% of -7.2%, showing possible anthelmintic resistance.

Análisis de redes sociales como recurso metodológico para el estudio de la sustentabilidad territorial
Authors: LOPEZ SANTOS JONATHAN , Ramírez Hernández Javier Jesús 
Published: January 2025

Desde una perspectiva de ecología política la sustentabilidad es entendida como un proceso de construcción social que necesita del empoderamiento social. A su vez, el Análisis de Redes Sociales ofrece parámetros para entender fenómenos sociales donde la morfología de los vínculos entre actores es esencial. En concordancia, el propósito del trabajo es indagar sobre cómo los parámetros de análisis de redes permiten describir procesos de sustentabilidad territorial. Como caso de estudio se considera a un grupo de artesanas textiles de una comunidad rural en México. Se utiliza una propuesta metodológica de indicadores del Análisis de Redes Sociales asociados a tres categorías de analíticas de sustentabilidad territorial. En los resultados, se muestra cómo indicadores de densidad, grado medio, distancia geodésica media, diámetro, cliques y centralidad (grado, intermediación y cercanía) permiten examinar la capacidad de diálogo de saberes entre artesanas y su posibilidad de generar innovaciones para la sustentabilidad. Además, posibilitan describir y comprender los procesos de articulación, organización, gestión colectiva recursos y empoderamiento del grupo de artesanas para la sustentabilidad.
