The genus Scincella Mittleman, 1950, belonging to the family Scincidae, exhibits considerable morphological convergence, complicating species delimitation and resulting in underestimated diversity. Currently, 41 species are formally recognized in this genus, although this figure likely underestimates its true richness. In this study, a new species of the genus Scincella, Scincella chengduensis sp. nov., is described from urban and suburban areas of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, Southwest China. Morphological features and phylogenetic analyses confirmed that the new species is distinct from all previously recognized congeners. The new species can be clearly distinguished by a combination of the following unique characters: (1) slender, medium-sized body, snout-vent length 28.4–43.2 mm; (2) infralabials seven, rarely six; (3) supraciliaries six or seven; (4) tympanum deeply recessed without lobules, tympanum diameters equal to or exceeding palpebral disc diameters; (5) midbody scale-row counts 23; (6) dorsal scales smooth, slightly enlarged, paravertebral scale-row counts 57–60, ventral scale-row counts 42–44, gulars 21–22; (7) upper edge of lateral longitudinal stripes relatively straight, four rows of dorsal scales in middle; (8) enlarged, undivided lamellae beneath finger IV 8–9, enlarged, undivided lamellae beneath toe IV 10–12; (9) ventral surface densely covered with dark spots; (10) grayish-brown, irregular dorsal stripes 2–3, black dorsolateral stripes from posterior corner of eye to lateral side of tail. This discovery underscores the underestimated diversity of Scincella in China and highlights the importance of urban habitats as reservoirs of hidden biodiversity. A diagnostic key to the Scincella species of China is also provided.

BackgroundPeople living with alcohol use disorder (AUD) who develop Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) may be at higher risk of diabetes-complications.AimOur aims were to compare diabetes-monitoring and incidence of diabetes-complications between people with and without AUD prior to T2DM diagnosis attending primary care in England.Design & settingWe used the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) Aurum linked with Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) and Office for National Statistics (ONS) mortality data. The target population was people with incident T2DM diagnosed between 2004-2019.MethodWe defined AUD from codes indicating i) clinical diagnosis; ii) alcohol withdrawal; or iii) chronic alcohol-related harm. Outcomes were end stage renal disease (ESRD), lower limb amputation, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality and all-cause mortality. We compared yearly HbA1c, creatinine and cholesterol monitoring activities for the first 5 years post T2DM diagnosis.ResultsThe study population was 543,509 people, of whom 15 237(2.8%) had a code for AUD. Adjusting for measured confounders, people with AUD had higher rates of ESRD (IRR 1.95 95% CI 1.71, 2.23), lower limb amputation (IRR 1.78 95% CI 1.50, 2.21), stroke (IRR 1.35 95% CI 1.25, 1.46), CVD mortality (IRR 1.74 95% 1.63, 1.86) and all-cause mortality (IRR 2.10 95% CI 2.04, 2.17) but not MI (IRR 0.91 95% CI 0.82, 1.00) compared with people without AUD. Laboratory diabetes-monitoring was high in people with (83.5-91.1%) and without (83.7-92.4%) AUD.ConclusionPeople with AUD had nearly double the rates of most of the diabetes-complications investigated than people without AUD.

Published: January 2025

Background:
Glucocorticoids are central to vasculitis treatment but increase vertebral fracture risk. This study assessed whether vasculitis as the cause of ESRD is associated with incident vertebral fracture, controlling for corticosteroid use.

Methods:
A retrospective cohort study was conducted from 2006-2019 on adults in the U.S. Renal Data System initiating dialysis between 2006 and 2017, surviving ≥1 year, with continuous Medicare Part D coverage during the first year of dialysis. Primary exposure was vasculitis as the cause of ESRD determined from form Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)-2728, completed by a physician at dialysis initiation. A granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) subgroup had ≥1 International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-9/10 code for GPA in the first dialysis year. One inpatient or two outpatient ICD-9/10 codes within 90 days defined incident vertebral fracture. Clinical covariates were ascertained from form CMS-2728 and ICD-9/10 codes and pharmacy claims over the first dialysis year. Multivariable logistic regression examined the association of ESRD secondary to vasculitis with incident vertebral fracture, and in GPA in a secondary analysis.

Results:
Among 633,543 individuals with ESRD, vertebral fracture occurred in 6.18% with and 3.23% without ESRD from vasculitis. After multivariable adjustment including corticosteroid daily dose in the first dialysis year, ESRD secondary to vasculitis was associated with vertebral fracture (relative risk (RR):1.33, 95% confidence interval (CI):1.17-1.52), and similarly in those with GPA (RR:1.47, 95% CI:1.23-1.75).

Conclusions:
ESRD from vasculitis, and from GPA specifically, increases vertebral fracture risk among individuals with ESRD after accounting for first dialysis year corticosteroid dose.
Investigating Learning Tasks in the Century of Turkey Education Model 5th Grade Mathematics Textbook: Financial Literacy Education and Cognitive Demand Level
Authors: Özçakir Bilal 
Published: January 2025

The Century of Turkey Education Model, introduced in 2024, emphasizes developing critical thinking and analytical skills, with the Mathematics Curriculum. This curriculum integrates literacy skills in learning objectives, particularly financial literacy, to empower students in making informed economic decisions and managing resources effectively. Research highlights the strong link between cognitive skills and financial literacy, noting that individuals with higher cognitive abilities excel in financial literacy and make better financial decisions. Since mathematics textbooks, play a crucial role in fostering these skills by incorporating tasks that enhance cognitive and analytical abilities, this study investigates financial literacy related tasks in the 5th-grade mathematics textbook and assesses requested cognitive demand to complete these tasks. These tasks were identified based on the PISA Financial Literacy Framework’s content dimension. The findings indicated that learning tasks related to financial literacy are primarily concentrated under the ‘Numbers and Quantities’ theme. Moreover, in the ‘Geometric Shapes’ or ‘From Data to Probability’ themes, learning tasks could not be categorized under any subcategories of content dimension. On the other hand, regarding the PISA financial literacy content dimension, the learning tasks were mostly related with the ‘Money and Transactions’ subcategory. Additionally, in terms of cognitive demand levels, most tasks were categorized as requiring ‘High-Level Cognitive Demand’, with only a few tasks involving ‘Low-Level Cognitive Demand’ like memorization. This imbalance suggests a need for greater diversity in task types and cognitive demand levels to ensure more comprehensive and inclusive approach to financial literacy education.

Published: January 2025

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of core exercises on the technical skills of female futsal players. Thirty-two female futsal players participated in the study, 16 from the experimental group with an average age of 20.00±2.75 (years), an average height of 160.62±5.37 (cm) and a body weight of 49.62±8.98 (kg) and 16 from the control group with an average age of 18.87±1.59 (years), an average height of 158.75±5.72 (cm) and a body weight of 53.37±11.73 (kg). All participants received routine futsal training 3 days per week for 8 weeks. In addition to futsal training, the experimental group performed core exercises 3 days per week (bridge exercise with Pilates ball, plank exercise with Pilates ball, hip lift exercise with Pilates ball, superman exercise on the floor, right-left side plank exercise, foot change exercise with bridge on Pilates ball, plank exercise with lifting feet and half sit-ups with Pilates ball). Technical skill tests (ball bounce, slalom test, goal kick test and header bounce) were carried out on all participants before and after the core training programme. The SPSS.26 programme was used for data analysis. The paired sample t- testwas used to compare the variables within the groups and the independent simple t- test was used to compare the variables between the groups. The significance level was set at p<0.01. In the resultsof the study, a statistically significant difference was found between the results of the experimental group before and after the test with regard to the skill parameters of the female futsal players in the slalom test, the ball bounce with the head, the goal kick test and the ball bounce test (p<0.01). In the control group, a statistically significant difference was found in the pre-test and post-test results of the ball bounce with head test, goal kick test and ball bounce test (p<0,01), while no significant difference was observed between the slalom test values (p>0.01). While no difference was found between the groups in the pre- and post-test results of the dexterity tests (p>0.01), the dexterity performance of the groups was numerically in favour of the experimental group. In summary, the results of this study indicate that effective strengthening of the core muscles contributes not only to physical but also to technical performance.

Kebebasan yang memungkinkan para insan pers bisa memilih, menentukan, mengerjakan tugas mencari, meliputi berita, dan melakukan penyiaran berita kepada publik untuk memenuhi hak publik untuk mendapatkan informasi. Kebebasan pers bahkan ditempatkan sebagai salah satu syarat mutlak bagi negara yang menganut sistem demokrasi.Dalam konteks pertanggungjawaban dalam korporasi terdapat asas “siapa yang bertanggung jawab maka ia yang berbuat” dan oleh karena perusahaan pers harus berbentuk badan hukum, maka Pemimpin Redaksilah yang dianggap bertanggung jawab apabila terjadi pelanggaran hukum pidna pers. Dalam pertimbangannya majelis hakim menyebutkan bahwa pimpinan redaksi dianggap mempunyai pengalaman, pemahaman, dan pengetahuan dalam bidang jurnalistik serta mempunyai wewenang untuk menentukan layak tidaknya suatu berita atau gambar untuk dimuat.Kata Kunci : Delik Pencemaran nama baik di Indonesia.ABSTRACT Talking about information, we cannot ignore the role of the press. In an era where information is the dominant element in the development of people's lives today, the role of the press is vital. The press is absolutely necessary in the order of social life, especially in a country undergoing modernization. As a means of disseminating information and a means of social control in society, the press hopes to have the freedom to carry out its role. Freedom that allows members of the press to choose, determine, carry out the task of searching, covering news, and broadcasting news to the public to fulfill the public's right to obtain information. Freedom of the press is even placed as one of the absolute requirements for a country that adheres to a democratic system. In the context of accountability in a corporation, there is the principle of "who is responsible then he who acts" and because a press company must be a legal entity, it is the Chief Editor who is considered responsible if there is a violation of the criminal law of the press. In their consideration, the panel of judges stated that the editor-in-chief is considered to have experience, understanding, and knowledge in the field of journalism and has the authority to determine whether or not a news or image is appropriate for publication.Keywords: Defamation offense in Indonesia.

Abstrak
Artikel ini membahas restrukturisasi perusahaan dalam konteks akuisisi, dengan fokus pada implikasi hukum dan strategi bisnis di Indonesia. Penelitian dimulai dengan mengkaji kerangka hukum dan regulasi yang mengatur akuisisi, termasuk kesesuaiannya dengan hukum perseroan. Selanjutnya, penelitian ini membahas faktor pendorong perusahaan untuk menggunakan akuisisi sebagai alat strategis ekspansi, seperti persaingan pasar, tekanan finansial, dan globalisasi. Studi ini menganalisis praktik terbaik di bidang hukum dan bisnis, yang menunjukkan perannya dalam memastikan kelancaran proses akuisisi. Urgensi penelitian ini terletak pada pemahaman tantangan dalam merger dan akuisisi (M&A), yang tidak hanya melibatkan masalah keuangan dan operasional tetapi juga perselisihan hukum dan kepatuhan terhadap hukum wajib di Indonesia. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif, didukung analisis kasus dan tinjauan literatur, artikel ini mengidentifikasi faktor penting yang memengaruhi keberhasilan atau kegagalan akuisisi, seperti uji tuntas, ketepatan valuasi, dan integrasi budaya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun akuisisi menawarkan peluang besar untuk pertumbuhan perusahaan dan penetrasi pasar, proses ini juga memiliki risiko jika tidak selaras dengan standar regulasi dan tujuan strategis. Studi ini memberikan rekomendasi utama bagi para pemangku kepentingan, termasuk peningkatan tata kelola perusahaan dan penilaian hukum yang mendalam sebelum akuisisi. Kesimpulan menekankan bahwa proses akuisisi yang terstruktur dengan baik dapat mendukung keberlanjutan perusahaan dan pertumbuhan ekonomi jangka panjang, asalkan semua aspek hukum dan strategis dikelola dengan cermat.

INTRODUCCIÓN: El riesgo de sufrir un infarto cerebral se relaciona con factores de riesgo, el reconocimiento y actuación del paciente/familia se relaciona con el nivel educativo. Pese al avance en el tratamiento, la mejor forma de enfrentarla es la prevención. OBJETIVO: Determinar el nivel de conocimiento de infarto cerebral en población no médica. Demostrar la hipótesis de que la educación mejora los niveles de conocimiento de la enfermedad. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Población: 113 familiares de pacientes ingresados a la Unidad Técnica de Neurología del Hospital de Especialidades Carlos Andrade Marín en el periodo marzo – septiembre del 2022. Estudio longitudinal analítico de cohorte única. Criterios de inclusión: familiares en cuidado/vigilancia directa de pacientes ingresados con diagnóstico clínico/ imagenológico de infarto cerebral agudo, firma de consentimiento informado. Criterios de exclusión: No aceptación de participar. Se realizó a cada participante una encuesta a la admisión, luego se le entregó un documento educativo acerca del tema y posteriormente se aplicó nuevamente la encuesta. Se utilizó la prueba Chi cuadrado de Mcnemar para comprobación de hipótesis y los porcentajes de frecuencias se analizaron con diferencia porcentual. RESULTADOS: El síntoma más conocido fue la alteración del lenguaje con un 44,2% de conocimiento en la población estudiada, 25,7% sospecharon de ictus, 87,6% lo consideraban como emergencia, 31% sabían de la existencia de factores de riesgo, la diferencia porcentual luego de la interven-ción educativa incrementó en: 76,4% en la necesidad de llamar a una ambulancia, en más de 47,3% y de 111,1% en conocimiento de síntomas y de los factores de riesgo, respectivamente. El nombre del ictus más conocido fue ́Derrame ́. DISCUSIÓN: El conocimiento para reconocer a un infarto cerebral es bajo, el de reconocerlo como emergencia es alto, la intervención educativa mejoró notablemente ese conocimientoal igual que literatura publicada. CONCLUSIÓN: Se comprobó la hipótesis de que es necesario incrementar el conocimiento de infarto cerebral y la conciencia de cómo proceder ante la presentación de esta enfermedad.
UNDERSTANDING LIVED EXPERIENCES THROUGH AN INCLUSIVE LENS OF INTERPRETATIVE PHENOMENOLOGICAL ANALYSIS (IPA) AND INTERPRETATIVE POETICS (IP)
Authors: Kimberley Anna B. 
Published: January 2025

The paper describes the inclusivity of two methodological approaches, applied in PhD study, completed in 2021. The study combined Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) and elements of Interpretive Poetics (IP). The focus of the study was understanding the live experiences of educated professionals from selected. African countries, living in Finland. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten participants, five females and five males from Kenya, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Zambia and Ghana. At the time of the study, they were employed by Finnish companies. The data was analyzed by adopting phenomenological analytical tools and elements of interpretative poetics (IP). By incorporating elements of IP into IPA, the study created an additional analytical perspective within IPA, thus enriching it as a methodology. Adopting this additional narrative tool (IP) within IPA demonstrated that IPA can be successfully utilized by researchers from outside such fields as psychology, health psychology and medicine, where IPA is adopted. It further showed that experiences other than those connected to illness and health can be successfully investigated. It proved of value in this cross-cultural study, where a close analysis of the spoken words at the textual level, reinforced and confirmed the findings of the phenomenological (IPA) analysis, thus providing additional validity to the findings. The findings of IPA correlated and were supported by the findings of IP analysis. The identified personal experiential statements (PETs), were clearly expressed through the form of address, as divided. The story threads added a deeper layer to the meaning of the PETs. The sensemaking of lived experiences in the host culture was deeply rooted in and influenced by the values of the native cultures of the participants.

As desigualdades sociais, reconhecidas como diferenças vitais, materiais e existenciais entre indivíduos e grupos, consistem em um fenômeno dinâmico e multidimensional. A redução dos impactos gerados pelas desigualdades é um dos Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) da Agenda 2030, sendo necessárias iniciativas para o seu alcance, dentre elas a formação profissional. Assim, desenvolveu-se um Curso extensionista apoiado no referencial da aprendizagem experiencial, para desenvolvimento de competências de estudantes de enfermagem para atuar sobre essas desigualdades. Analisar as aprendizagens desenvolvidas por estudantes de enfermagem para o enfrentamento das desigualdades sociais após a participação em um Curso de extensão. Estudo qualitativo realizado com 8 estudantes. Os dados foram coletados mediante entrevista com foco em competências, os participantes foram interrogados sobre a sua vivência frente à intervenção educativa, os seus aprendizados e o alcance de competências. As entrevistas foram submetidas à Análise Crítica do Discurso com o auxílio do software MAXQDA 2022, que possibilitou a organização dos dados e o processo de codificação por pares permitindo reduzir vieses. Os aspectos éticos foram respeitados. A aprendizagem alcançou dimensões de Apreensão da experiência imediata, Compreensão conceitual, reflexão intencional (Intenção) e, com menor intensidade, Extensão da experimentação ativa. Evidencia-se a mobilização de ações nos domínios das competências de Identificação, Análise, Atuação e Transformação de situações de desigualdades sociais. Após o curso, confirma-se a relação entre as competências desenvolvidas e o ciclo da aprendizagem experiencial com estratégias discursivas que expressam presunções valorativas, modalizações, metáforas, representação de atores sociais, temporalidade e modos de operação da ideologia. Os efeitos da prática formativa contribuíram para que os participantes demonstrassem o intuito de assumir atitudes para enfrentamento das desigualdades sociais. A utilização da entrevista com foco em competências e o software MAXQDA foram essenciais para analisar os processos de aprendizagens e desenvolvimento de competências.
