Electrospinning of cellulose acetate fibers from a ternary solvent system
Authors: Matulevičius Jonas , Kliučininkas Linas , Martuzevičius Dainius 
Published: January 2025

In this study, cellulose acetate fibers (CA) were prepared by the technique of electrospinning. A new ternary solvent mixture consisting of acetone / dichloromethane (DCM)/N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at the ratio of 2/1/1 (v/v/v) was used in the electrospinning process. The suggested composition of solvents ensured continuous electrospinning of CA fibers, while other compositions of the same solvent system were not suitable to produce fibers. Smooth fibers with the mean diameter of 241 ± 92 nm were obtained by the solvent system containing more than 11% (w/v) of CA. The morphology and diameter of electrospun CA fibers were highly dependent on the concentration of CA solution.

Authors: Capacio Jason Philiip , Tira Phattanaphong 
Published: January 2025

Background and Aims: This study looks into how well students' English-speaking abilities can be improved using the Information Gap Method. It seeks to determine the method's advantages and drawbacks for promoting fluency and practical language use. Thus, the purposes of this study were: 1) to investigate the effectiveness of the Information Gap Method in enhancing the English-speaking proficiency of BA English major students, 2) to assess the potential of Information Gap Methods to learner fluency, vocabulary acquisition, grammatical accuracy, and the ability to express oneself clearly, while also considering any impact on pronunciation, and 3) to compare the speaking development between first-year and second-year students.
Methodology: The research participants were first-year (n=19) and second-year (n=25) BA-English major students of Nakhon Phanom University, Thailand, utilizing cluster random sampling. The information gap method was implemented during a language course, and its impact was assessed through pre-tests and post-tests focusing on speaking skills.
Results: The research found that 1) the Information Gap Method positively and significantly impacted the student’s English-speaking proficiency as both year groups demonstrated significant improvement. First-year students' average scores increased by 61.51% (from 14.16 to 23.58), while second-year students showed a 48.83% improvement (from 15.75 to 23.44). The paired-sample analyses confirmed statistically significant differences (p < .001) for both groups. 2) Furthermore, information gap activities demonstrated a notably greater positive impact on students' ability to express themselves clearly (21%) and fluency (19.2%) as shown by the scores of both first and second years. While other categories also showed improvement, these two areas exhibited the most significant gains. 3) These results indicated that information gap activities may be particularly effective in accelerating the development of speaking proficiency for first-year students as evidenced by their greater percentage improvement between the pre-test and post-test compared to the higher-scoring second-year students.
Conclusion: These findings proved that the information gap method can be valuable for developing English-speaking skills among BA English major students. The study suggested its potential for wider implementation in language education programs targeting speaking proficiency.
El saxofón-flamenco en la educación musical de España: generación de un contexto educativo para la inclusión de la música popular
Authors: Estévez García Óscar 
Published: January 2025

The study of flamenco in Spanish musical institutions is scarce. In the case of conservatories, this situation is aggravated by the non-inclusion of the subject in the curriculum in most centers, as well as the lack of a specialist teaching profile that can transmit the appropriate knowledge. The saxophone, as a woodwind instrument, offers an educational opportunity to work on the palos, rhythm and harmony of flamenco, enriching the student's musical education and knowledge of popular music. The objective of the research is to know the educational possibilities of the flamenco-saxophone and its implementation in the Spanish educational system. Qualitative methodology is used using interviews with a group of experts as an instrument to extract a trend content analysis, and the extraction of quantitative data from a questionnaire. It is concluded that the diversification of teaching and the change in the study method allow the saxophonist to generate knowledge for the teaching-learning process of flamenco.

Authors: Blanco Corbalán Francisco José 
Published: January 2025

This article focuses on the cartagenera or taranta-cartagenera, one of the basic styles of the of the cantes minero-levantinos (mining-levantine singings). Based on a recording made by the cantaor Antonio Piñana for Televisión Española, we have proposed to carry out an adaptation for string quintet. Previously, we talked about the origins of the cartagenera, its denominations and its characteristic features. After reflecting on how to bring flamenco to the pentagram, we present our transcription of the aforementioned cante, from which we will describe some of the most outstanding musical elements, as well as explaining certain decisions that, from a rhythmic and melodic point of view, we have had to adopt. This transcription has been the basis for our adaptation of the cartagenera for string quintet, in which we have tried to contribute our most creative side, without distorting, however, the original essence of the cante.

Authors: Haddad Faten , Rais Sirine , Arfaoui Hajer , Kammoun Emna , Naimi Skander , Mebazaa M'hamed Sami 
Published: January 2025

Introduction : La distraction audiovisuelle (DAV) constitue un des moyens non pharmacologiques de la prévention de l’anxiété. Cependant, peu d’études ont évalué son effet en périopératoire chez l’adulte.
Objectif : Évaluer l'apport de la DAV dans la prévention de l'anxiété périopératoire des patients adultes proposés pour une chirurgie sous rachianesthésie.
Méthodes : Étude prospective randomisée contrôlée effectuée sur une période de 3 mois à dater du 1er juillet 2021. Nous avons inclus les patients adultes classés ASA I à III, proposés pour chirurgie viscérale ou orthopédique sous rachianesthésie. 90 patients étaient randomisés en deux groupes : un groupe témoin T et un groupe A ayant eu une DAV tout au long de l'acte opératoire. Le critère de jugement principal était l’anxiété évaluée par l’échelle visuelle analogique (EVA).
Résultats : Les caractéristiques démographiques, le score d’anxiété (Amsterdam preoperative anxiety and information scale) ainsi que le niveau de douleur en préopératoire étaient comparables. Au cours de l'acte, 22 (48,9%) patients du groupe T versus 3 (6,7%) patients du groupe A ont nécessité le recours au midazolam (p < 0,001). L’anxiété ainsi que la douleur en fin d’acte évaluées selon l’EVA étaient moins élevées dans le groupe A (p < 0,001 et p = 0,004 respectivement). Un score de satisfaction (Iowa Satisfaction with Anesthesia Scale version française) ≥ 5,4 était plus fréquemment observé dans le groupe A (p < 0,001).
Conclusion : La DAV permettait de réduire l’anxiété périopératoire ainsi que de diminuer le recours...(résumé tronqué à 250 mots).

Published: January 2025

Background:Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) is a severe and deadly adverse event following ERCP. The ideal method for predicting PEP risk before ERCP has yet to be identified. We aimed to establish a simple PEP risk score model (SuPER model: Support for PEP Reduction) that can be applied before ERCP.Methods:This multicenter study enrolled 2074 patients who underwent ERCP. Among them, 1037 patients each were randomly assigned to the development and validation cohorts. In the development cohort, the risk score model for predicting PEP was established via logistic regression analysis. In the validation cohort, the performance of the model was assessed.Results:In the development cohort, five PEP risk factors that could be identified before ERCP were extracted and assigned weights according to their respective regression coefficients: –2 points for pancreatic calcification, 1 point for female sex, and 2 points for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, a native papilla of Vater, or the pancreatic duct procedures (treated as ‘planned pancreatic duct procedures’ for calculating the score before ERCP). The PEP occurrence rate was 0% among low-risk patients (≤0 points), 5.5% among moderate-risk patients (1–3 points), and 20.2% among high-risk patients (4–7 points). In the validation cohort, the C statistic of the risk score model was 0.71 (95% CI 0.64–0.78), which was considered acceptable. The PEP risk classification (low, moderate, and high) was a significant predictive factor for PEP that was independent of intraprocedural PEP risk factors (precut sphincterotomy and inadvertent pancreatic duct cannulation) (OR 4.2, 95% CI 2.8–6.3; p<0.01).Conclusions:The PEP risk score allows an estimation of the risk of PEP prior to ERCP, regardless of whether the patient has undergone pancreatic duct procedures. This simple risk model, consisting of only five items, may aid in predicting and explaining the risk of PEP before ERCP and in preventing PEP by allowing selection of the appropriate expert endoscopist and useful PEP prophylaxes.Funding:No external funding was received for this work.

Published: January 2025

Background
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has revolutionized our understanding of brain activity by non-invasively detecting changes in blood oxygen levels. This review explores how fMRI is used to study mind-reading processes in adults.

Methodology
A systematic search was conducted across Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Studies were selected based on strict inclusion and exclusion criteria: peer-reviewed; published between 2000 and 2024 (in English); focused on adults; investigated mind-reading (mental state decoding, brain-computer interfaces) or related processes; and employed various mind-reading techniques (pattern classification, multivariate analysis, decoding algorithms).

Results
This review highlights the critical role of fMRI in uncovering the neural mechanisms of mind-reading. Key brain regions involved include the superior temporal sulcus (STS), medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and temporoparietal junction (TPJ), all crucial for mentalizing (understanding others’ mental states).

Conclusions
This review emphasizes the importance of fMRI in advancing our knowledge of how the brain interprets and processes mental states. It offers valuable insights into the current state of mind-reading research in adults and paves the way for future exploration in this field.
Die Bedeutung des Betriebsausgabenabzugsverbots des § 4k EStG für die Finanzpraxis – zugleich erste Anmerkungen zum BMF-Schreiben v. 5.12.2024, FR 2025, 89

Zusammenfassung
Die Verf. besprechen die aktuelle Entwicklung in Praxis und Finanzverwaltung (BMF-Schr. v. 5.12.2024, BStBl. I 2024, 1578 = FR 2025, 89) zum Betriebsausgabenabzugsverbot des § 4k EStG, ordnen diese in den bisherigen Diskussionsstand ein und arbeiten deren Bedeutung in Bezug auf ausgewählte Fallkonstellationen in der Finanzindustrie heraus. Auch wenn das BMF-Schreiben zahlreiche detaillierte und praxistaugliche (wenn auch nicht immer vom Gesetzeswortlaut gedeckte) Regelungen enthält, sehen die Verf. stellenweise weiterhin Verbesserungsbedarf im Sinne einer größeren Praktikabilität, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Exkulpationsmöglichkeit des Steuerpflichtigen bei vermeintlichen „strukturierten Gestaltungen“. Wünschenswert wäre nach Ansicht der Verf. ferner eine Klarstellung bzw. Abgrenzung des Zusammenspiels zwischen den Regelungen des § 4k EStG und der Mindestbesteuerung.

Dabei beschränkt sich die Rückschau ausdrücklich auf die ambulante Versorgung und erhebt auch sonst keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit.
Zur Bedeutung der Gewährung rechtlichen Gehörs – „audiatur et altera pars“ als Grundpfeiler des Rechtsstaats im Zivilprozess
Authors: Groteclaes Anna Leoni 
Published: January 2025

Zusammenfassung
Die rechtsstaatliche Verfahrensgarantie der Gewährung rechtlichen Gehörs i.S.d. Art. 103 Abs. 1 GG ist das konstitutive Merkmal aller gerichtlichen Verfahren und unabdingbar für das Vertrauen des Bürgers in die staatliche Rechtsprechung. Dennoch existieren im Zivilprozessrecht bis heute - trotz der unbestrittenen rechtsstaatlichen Bedeutung des Anspruchs auf Gewährung rechtlichen Gehörs - offene Fragen, wenn es um die effektive verfassungsrechtliche Imprägnierung des Verfahrensrechts und die dogmatische Konturierung dieses elementaren Grundsatzes geht. Diese Fragen zu umreißen und dabei die ideengeschichtliche Tradition der Gehörsgewährung aufzuzeigen, ist Gegenstand des nachfolgenden Beitrags.
