Heteronychia (Spatulapica) maritima Povolný, 1995: 186. [Junior secondary homomym of Sarcophaga maritima Engel, 1925.] Sarcophaga croca Pape, 1996: 325. New replacement name for Heteronychia maritima Povolný, 1995.
Type material examined. Heteronychia (Spatulapica) maritima: Holotype or paratype 3 (see Remarks): Skotina- Vádí / 27.5.92 / det. Povolný (MMBC) [terminalia dissected (by me) and glued to a small piece of white card beneath the source specimen]. Possible paratypes: 66 3 (58 = S. (H.) croca); 8 = S. (H.) benaci): [no locality or identification labels] (MMBC) [found under heading label “ H. maritima ” in Povolný collection (I. Malenovský, pers. comm. 2007), together with ten females (= S. (H.) sp.)].
Remarks. Povolný (1995: 188) based his description of Heteronychia maritima upon the holotype 3 and 69 male paratypes, and wrote that the holotype and 21 paratypes came from “ Greece, Skotina (Vádí) [...] 27.5.1992 ”. Only one specimen was found in MMBC carrying a label with this locality and date, but it is not labelled as holotype or paratype, so it could be either of the two. Sixty-six males (eight of which misidentified: = S. (H.) benaci) were found in MMBC under H. maritima (I. Malenovský, pers. comm. 2007); considering the fact that Povolný also left type specimens of other species unlabelled, these should probably be considered paratypes, in which case they would represent the near totality of the 69 paratypes originally mentioned. The two males from Platamon (Greece) found in MMBC were collected on different dates from those mentioned for this locality in the description, and cannot be considered as paratypes even though one of the two (date of collection 7.VI.1994) is labelled as such.
Additional material examined. Croatia (new country record): Biokovo, nr. Podgora, 29–30.VI.1980, D. Povolný leg., 5 3 (MMBC); Hvar, nr. Jelsa, 5–8.VII.2003, T. Pape leg., 1 3 (NHRS). Greece: Makhedonia, Pieria prov., Mt. Olympus, nr. Stávros, 940m, 28.V.2002, P. Cerretti et al. leg., 2 3 (CNBFVR); Platamon, 24.V.1992, D. Povolný leg., 1 3 (MMBC, as “ Heteronychia benaci det. Povolný”); same locality, 7.VI.1994, D. Povolný leg., 1 3 (MMBC) [label with red pencil border and with “ Paratype ” written on the underside below the locality].
Remarks. Sarcophaga croca is a valid species of Heteronychia with setulae on wing vein R1, a black epandrium and a characteristically shaped cercus, pregonite and distiphallus (Figs 51–53). Drawings of “ H. benaci ” by Povolný (1996: 105, fig. 18) actually show S. (H.) croca.

Altitudinal range. This species inhabits mainly highland ecosystems (3,800–4,200 m.a.s.l.).
Biology and notes. Although the Systema Dipterorum (Thompson & Pape 2010) reports C. pseudotachina in Chile, we did not find any article that confirms that this species occurs in the country. Therefore, we treated this species as a new to Chile. It is the only known syrphid with bristle-like hairs on the abdomen and bare arista, which is considered a novel trait in the tribe Volucellini (Thompson 1972). There are only three records of this species in Chile, all from highlands in the Chilean ‘altiplano’ belonging to the Puna province (Morrone 2014), considered a hotspot of biodiversity (Myer et al., 2000). There, this species visits yellow flowers of Parastrephia quadrangularis (Meyen) Cabrera (Rodrigo Barahona-Segovia pers. obs.), and Aloysia deserticola (Phil.) Lu-Irving & O’Leary (Diego Reyes, CSP record), a common plant species that blooms once Bolivian winter is over (Fig. 142). This species has low abundance and is affected by habitat loss due to mining and water exploitation, and climate change.

description: Inseparability of quantum states is one of the most crucial aspects of quantum physics, as it often provides the key ingredient for obtaining a quantum advantage. Quantifying inseparability is thus an important objective to better understand quantum physics and to improve quantum applications. So far, many measures for inseparability exist, however, most of them are based on abstract mathematical procedures and are not defined operationally which can easily be realized in an experiment. Recently we introduced average correlation [Tschaffon et al., Phys. Rev. Res. 5, 023063 (2023)] as a reference frame independent indicator for nonclassicality in the Bell sense based on randomized measurements. It is defined as the average absolute value of the two-qubit correlation function and allows one to formulate a necessary and sufficient condition for the ability to violate the CHSH inequality. Experimentally it can be realized by randomized measurements which can approximate its value arbitrarily closely. This makes it independent of a shared reference frame between the two measuring parties, which can be useful in scenarios where it is impossible to find one. In this second article, we show that average correlation also serves as an indicator for inseparability by deriving a necessary and sufficient condition. From there, we prove the remaining open conjectures of the first article. Due to the operational definition of average correlation, it offers a first step toward finding a new operationally defined inseparability measure.

description: Background: Culinary medicine integrates healthy eating with positive food experiences, offering a holistic approach to treating mental health disorders, such as depression and eating disorders, where disruptions in eating habits and mood are common. While traditional psychiatric treatments focus on medication and psychotherapy, culinary workshops provide a novel intervention for inpatient care. This study evaluated the effectiveness of culinary medicine cooking workshops as a supplementary treatment for psychiatric inpatients with depression and eating disorders. Methods: We assessed the feasibility of five cooking workshops led by a professional chef and nutritional therapist in 39 psychiatric inpatients (depression, n = 29; eating disorders, n = 10). Participants completed questionnaires on dietary habits, mood, and workshop feedback before and after the intervention. Results: The workshops were highly accepted, with 90% of participants reporting they would recommend them for recovery. Significant improvements were observed in mood ( p < 0.001), sadness ( p < 0.001), hopelessness ( p = 0.002), and tiredness ( p = 0.003) across the overall group. Patients with depression showed improvements in nearly all mood subscales, while those with eating disorders improved in sadness ( p = 0.029). Conclusions: Culinary medicine workshops are a promising tool for enhancing mood and reducing hopelessness and tiredness in inpatients with depression. They also promote sustainable lifestyle changes that may benefit long-term physical and mental health. Future studies should explore the long-term impact of these interventions on psychiatric disorders.

Material examined. China, Guizhou prov., Guanling, Huajiang, 28.VII.2005, D. Avesani leg., 1 3 (CNBFVR).
Remarks. Heteronychia curvifemoralis was described from a single specimen from Ebian (Sichuan, China), deposited at SIMC (Li 1980: 277), whereas H. spatulifera was described based on the holotype 3 and 6 male paratypes, all deposited at IEAS (Wang et al. 1981: 257–258). Although I did not examine either of the holotypes, the above synonymy is supported by the highly apomorphic shape of the distiphallus coupled with the poor detail of character states suggested by Chen and Lu (in Wang et al. 1981: 258) to distinguish their newly described species from H. curvifemoralis.

description: Background/Objectives: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is highly prevalent and relevant in all medical fields. This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of interdisciplinary fascia therapy (IFT) for CLBP, focusing on its potential to reduce pain intensity, disability, and regulate autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity. Methods: Nine participants with CLBP each underwent nine sessions of IFT, twice weekly. The intervention involved a 12-grip manual sequence targeting deep paravertebral myofascial structures, complemented by heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback training twice daily for 15 min. Pain and quality-of-life measures were assessed using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) questionnaire at baseline, mid-treatment (4th session), and post-treatment (9th session). HRV metrics were monitored with a 24 h ECG Holter device before and after the treatment period. Statistical analyses included paired t -tests, Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, and Cohen’s d for effect size. Results: Significant reductions in pain levels were observed across all subjective BPI measures, including momentary, strongest, minimal, and average pain scores ( p < 0.001), with 83% and 87% reductions in pain intensity and disability, respectively. Quality-of-life indicators such as mood, sleep, and enjoyment of life showed significant improvements ( p < 0.001). While only one HRV metric (rMSSD) achieved statistical significance, other HRV measures indicated medium to large effect sizes, suggesting favorable trends in ANS regulation. Conclusions: IFT demonstrated significant effects on subjective BPI pain reduction and quality of life, alongside potential regulatory impacts on ANS activity in individuals with CLBP. These results support the use of IFT as an effective intervention for pain management in CLBP and ANS regulation, meriting further exploration.

description: This in vitro study evaluated the sealing ability and microleakage of calcium silicate-based sealers compared to an epoxy resin-based sealer. One hundred twenty-five roots from anterior teeth were chemo-mechanically prepared and divided into four groups: AH Plus (AH), ProRoot MTA (PR), Medcem MTA (MC), and Total Fill BC Sealer/BC-coated gutta-percha (TF); n = 30. Confocal laser scanning microscopy was used to measure sealer penetration at three horizontal levels in 10 roots per group, while glucose leakage over 30 days was assessed in 20 roots. A lateral compaction technique was used for most groups, except for TF, which employed a single-cone method. Data were analyzed using Python with a Kruskal–Wallis test and Dunn’s post hoc test. TF showed significantly greater penetration in the coronal and middle sections, while PR had the least penetration in the apical section. PR exhibited the highest canal circumference penetration, especially compared to MC and TF. Glucose leakage increased over time in all groups, with TF showing the highest permeability after 30 days. Overall, calcium silicate-based sealers PR, MC, and TF performed similarly to the epoxy resin standard AH, with all groups exhibiting decreasing penetration from coronal to apical and increased leakage over time.

description: Introduction: Salivary gland tumor operations are associated with complications including facial nerve dysfunction (FND) and salivary fistula. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of extracapsular dissection (ECD) and the application of Clostridium botulinum toxin (CBT) in contrast to partial and lateral parotidectomy on complications. Methods: All salivary gland tumor operations performed within the last 6 years were retrospectively examined. Data were collected from electronic patient files from our otorhinolaryngology clinic. Total parotidectomies and submandibulectomies were not included in the analysis of CBT application. Results: In total, 418 cases were examined, including 84 (20%) malignant tumors. In total, 18 patients underwent ECD, 93 partial parotidectomy, 199 lateral parotidectomy, 76 total parotidectomy, and 32 submandibulectomy. The most common complication was transient FND (49%; n = 205; data available for 415 patients), which was measured at four days. Additional complications included salivary fistula ( n = 56), infection ( n = 49), bleeding or hematoma ( n = 21). Preoperative facial nerve paralysis ( p < 0.0001), pain ( p < 0.0001), and a history of squamous cell skin carcinoma (SCC) ( p < 0.001) were predictive of malignancy. The application of CBT did not reduce the risk of salivary fistula ( p -value: 0.0182) and was associated with a higher combined complication rate ( p -value: 0.0199). ECD was not associated with a lower likelihood for FND ( p = 0.350). Conclusions: Preoperative pain, facial paralysis, or a history of SCC are predictors of malignancy. Use of CBT was not associated with a reduced risk of salivary fistula, but rather a higher complication rate.

description: Background: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) represents a novel non-thermal approach for treating atrial fibrillation (AF) through pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). By utilizing irreversible electroporation, PFA creates lesions with minimal impact on adjacent tissues. This study investigates the procedural outcomes and safety of a novel circular PFA catheter in comparison to an established PFA system in a real-world clinical setting. Methods : This prospective, single-center study enrolled 125 consecutive patients with symptomatic paroxysmal or persistent AF undergoing first-time PVI with PFA at Ulm University Heart Center. Twenty-five patients underwent PFA PVI using a novel PFA system (PulseSelect TM , Medtronic, Dublin, Ireland) which incorporates a new circular catheter design and additional features such as ECG-triggered energy application and phrenic nerve capture testing. In comparison, 100 patients were treated using the established PFA system (Farapulse TM , Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA). Results : Acute PVI was achieved in 100% of the patients. Procedure duration, total left atrial (LA) time and fluoroscopy time remained comparable between both groups. The total number of energy deliveries was higher with the novel circular PFA catheter (34.0 vs. 32.0; p < 0.001). No procedure-related complications, including pericardial tamponade, phrenic nerve injury, atrial-esophageal fistula, vascular complications, embolisms, malignant cardiac arrhythmias, or coronary spasms were observed. Conclusions : The novel and the established PFA systems demonstrated comparable results in terms of procedure duration, fluoroscopy time, and LA time. In the hands of experienced operators, the novel circular PFA system enables an effective, consistent, and safe approach to successful PFA PVI.

description: We investigate the impact of magnetic fields on the potential barrier between two interacting nuclei. We addressed this by solving the Boltzmann equation and Maxwell's theory in the presence of a magnetic field, resulting in the determination of magnetized permittivity. Additionally, we derived the magnetized Debye potential, which combines the conventional Debye potential with an additional magnetic component. We then compared the Boltzmann approach with the Debye method. Both methods consistently demonstrate that magnetic fields increase permittivity. This enhanced permittivity leads to a reduction in the potential barrier, consequently increasing the reaction rate for nucleosynthesis. Furthermore, the dependence on temperature and electron density in each approach is consistent. Our findings suggest that magnetized plasmas, which have existed since the Big Bang, have played a crucial role in nucleosynthesis.

Two measures were used to define the consistency of choice. 1. Block-Count and 2. Block Size. Preference is based on the selectivity index SI calculated in intervals increasing by 10 minutes (the first interval being 10 minutes, the second 20 minutes, and so forth). For each time point the preferred cage (1-4) is plotted. “Hermann” changed his preference over time 4 times (= 5 blocks), compared to “Jacques” who changed his mind only once (= 2 blocks). After 38% of “Hermann” being in the experiment (as the last block is 62%), he chose the mouse from cage 4 to be his preferred partner, “Jacques” already decided after just 5% of the total time in the experiment that mouse 1 is the best. “Hermann” never chose mouse 3 and “Jacques” never chose mice 1 and 2.

description: Objective: With advances in techniques, arthroscopic repair of isolated subscapularis tendon tears has become increasingly popular in recent years. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical and structural results of arthroscopic repair versus the gold standard of open repair. It is a prospective cohort study with a control group; evidence level III. Methods: In a prospective study performed at two centers, 18 patients with an isolated subscapularis tear were treated with arthroscopic repair (ARG) and 16 patients with open repair (ORG) using a uniform single-row suture anchor repair technique in both groups. The subscapularis function was assessed using specific clinical tests (belly-press and lift-off tests), strength testing and shoulder function with the use of the Constant–Murley score (CMS). Standardized magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to evaluate the postoperative subscapularis muscle-tendon status. Results: At a minimum follow-up of 48 months, the CMS increased from a mean of 54 points preoperatively to a mean of 86 points postoperatively in the ARG ( p < 0.01) and from 50 points to 85 points postoperatively in the ORG ( p < 0.01). Specific subscapularis tests (belly-press test and lift-off test) were significantly improved from the preoperative to the postoperative status in both repair groups ( p < 0.05). Despite a subscapularis tendon healing rate of over 90% on MRI scans in both repair groups, the incomplete correction of specific muscle tests was a frequent postoperative finding. Conclusions: Arthroscopic repair of isolated subscapularis tears achieved equivalent clinical and structural results compared to the gold standard of open repair.

description: We present a computational modelling approach which targets capturing the specifics on how to virtually augment a Metaverse user's available social time capacity via using an independent and autonomous version of her digital representation in the Metaverse. We motivate why this is a fundamental building block to model large-scale social networks in the Metaverse, and emerging properties herein. We envision a Metaverse-focused extension of the traditional avatar concept: An avatar can be as well programmed to operate independently when its user is not controlling it directly, thus turning it into an agent-based digital human representation. This way, we highlight how such an independent avatar could help its user to better navigate their social relationships and optimize their socializing time in the Metaverse by (partly) offloading some interactions to the avatar. We model the setting and identify the characteristic variables by using selected concepts from social sciences: ego networks, social presence, and social cues. Then, we formulate the problem of maximizing the user's non-avatar-mediated spare time as a linear optimization. Finally, we analyze the feasible region of the problem and we present some initial insights on the spare time that can be achieved for different parameter values of the avatar-mediated interactions.

description: With an increasing incidence of malignant melanoma, new prognostic biomarkers for clinical decision making have become more important. In this study, we evaluated the role of ecto-NOX disulfide-thiol exchanger 2 (ENOX2/tNOX), a cancer- and growth-associated protein, in the prognosis and therapy of primary malignant melanoma. We conducted a tissue microarray analysis of immunohistochemical ENOX2 protein expression and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) ENOX2 RNA expression analysis, as well as viability assays and Western blots of melanoma cell lines treated with the ENOX2 inhibitor phenoxodiol (PXD) and BRAF inhibitor (BRAFi) vemurafenib. We discovered that high ENOX2 expression is associated with decreased overall (OS), disease-specific (DSS) and metastasis-free survival (MFS) in primary melanoma (PM) and a reduction in electronic tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (eTILs). A gradual rise in ENOX2 expression was found with an increase in malignant potential from benign nevi (BNs) via PMs to melanoma metastases (MMs), as well as with an increasing tumor thickness and stage. These results highlight the important role of ENOX2 in cancer growth, progression and metastasis. The ENOX2 expression was not limited to malignant cell lines but could also be found in keratinocytes, fibroblasts and melanocytes. The viability of melanoma cell lines could be inhibited by PXD. A reduced induction of phospho-AKT under PXD could prevent the development of acquired BRAFi resistance. In conclusion, ENOX2 may serve as a potential prognostic marker and therapeutic target in malignant melanoma.

title: Minding the English trap: A crosslinguistic pedagogical approach to teaching the V2 rule to young German L3 learners in Sweden
Creators: name: Beslagic, Deni
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2025

description: Based on a case study with four teachers of German L3 at Swedish lower secondary schools, this article explores: a) the teachers’ pedagogical views on the role of English L2 in L3 teaching, and b) how they make explicit crosslinguistic references to English when teaching German. The analyzed interviews, observations and lesson plans suggest that the participants have positive views on crosslinguistic pedagogy and that they also apply it in their practice, for example by making trilingual comparisons of word order when highlighting the V2 rule. Based on the findings, it is suggested that English can function as a bridging language between Swedish L1 and German L3.

description: Large-amplitude accretion outbursts in young stars are expected to play a central role in proto-stellar assembly. Outburst identification historically has taken place using optical techniques, but recent, systematic infrared searches are enabling their discovery in heavily dust-obscured regions of the Galactic plane. Here, we present the discovery of WTP$\,$10aaauow, a large-amplitude mid-infrared (MIR) outburst identified in a systematic search of NEOWISE data using new image subtraction techniques. The source is located towards the RCW$\,$49 star-forming region, and estimated to be at a distance of $\approx 4\,$kpc via Gaia parallax measurement. Concurrent with the MIR brightening, the source underwent a $\gtrsim5\,$mag outburst in the optical and near-infrared (NIR) bands, reaching a peak luminosity of $\approx260\,$L$_\odot$ in 2014-2015, followed by a slow decline over the next 7 years. Analysis of the pre- and post-outburst spectral energy distributions reveal a pre-outburst stellar photosphere at a temperature of $3600-4000\,$K, surrounded by a likely two-component dust structure similar to a flat-spectrum or Class I type YSO. We present optical and NIR spectroscopy that show a GK-type spectrum in the optical bands exhibiting complex line profiles in strong absorption features, and evidence for a wind reaching a terminal velocity of $\approx 400\,$km$\,$s$^{-1}$. The NIR bands are characterized by a cooler M-type spectrum exhibiting a forest of atomic and molecular features. All together, the spectra demonstrate that WTP$\,$10aaauow is an FU Ori type outburst. Ongoing systematic infrared searches will continue to reveal the extent of this population in the Galactic disk.

description: The utilization of advanced intraoral scanners to acquire 3D dental models has gained significant popularity in the fields of dentistry and orthodontics. Accurate segmentation and labeling of teeth on digitized 3D dental surface models are crucial for computer-aided treatment planning. At the same time, manual labeling of these models is a time-consuming task. Recent advances in geometric deep learning have demonstrated remarkable efficiency in surface segmentation when applied to raw 3D models. However, segmentation of the dental surface remains challenging due to the atypical and diverse appearance of the patients’ teeth. Numerous deep learning methods have been proposed to automate dental surface segmentation. Nevertheless, they still show limitations, particularly in cases where teeth are missing or severely misaligned. To overcome these challenges, we introduce a network operator called dilated edge convolution, which enhances the network’s ability to learn additional, more distant features by expanding its receptive field. This leads to improved segmentation results, particularly in complex and challenging cases. To validate the effectiveness of our proposed method, we performed extensive evaluations on the recently published benchmark data set for dental model segmentation Teeth3DS. We compared our approach with several other state-of-the-art methods using a quantitative and qualitative analysis. Through these evaluations, we demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method, showcasing its ability to outperform existing approaches in dental surface segmentation.
