Remarks. The species is distributed worldwide; however, it is doubtful if all recorded specimens are real A. largoensis (see D̂ker et al. 2020). Many researchers (e.g., Liao et al. 2020) indicated that the species can be identified by the parallel tubular calyx of the spermatheca. Additionally, this species is dominant in southern Taiwan, especially in the tropical region. This species has also been studied in terms of its potential in biological control of red palm mite, Raoiella indica Hirst (e.g., Mendes et al. 2018).

description: In our combined experimental, theoretical, and numerical work, we study the out-of-equilibrium deformations in a shrinking ring of optically trapped, interacting colloidal particles. Steerable optical tweezers are used to confine dielectric microparticles along a circle of discrete harmonic potential wells, and to reduce the ring radius at a controlled quench speed. We show that excluded-volume interactions are enough to induce particle sliding from their equilibrium positions and nonequilibrium zigzag roughening of the colloidal structure. Our work unveils the underlying mechanism of interfacial deformation in radially driven microscopic discrete rings.

description: Background The German Xenotransplantation Consortium is in the process to prepare a clinical trial application (CTA) on xenotransplantation of genetically modified pig hearts. In the CTA documents to the central and national regulatory authorities, that is, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI), respectively, it is required to list the potential zoonotic or xenozoonotic porcine microorganisms including porcine viruses as well as to describe methods of detection in order to prevent their transmission. The donor animals should be tested using highly sensitive detection systems. I would like to define a detection system as the complex including the actual detection methods, either PCR-based, cell-based, or immunological methods and their sensitivity, as well as sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling, and the necessary negative and positive controls. Lessons learned from the identification of porcine cytomegalovirus/porcine roseolovirus (PCMV/PRV) in the xenotransplanted heart in the recipient in the Baltimore study underline how important such systems are. The question is whether veterinary laboratories can supply such assays. Methods A total of 35 veterinary laboratories in Germany were surveyed for their ability to test for selected xenotransplantation-relevant viruses, including PCMV/PRV, hepatitis E virus, and porcine endogenous retrovirus-C (PERV-C). As comparison, data from Swiss laboratories and a laboratory in the USA were analyzed. Furthermore, we assessed which viruses were screened for in clinical and preclinical trials performed until now and during screening of pig populations. Results Of the nine laboratories that provided viral diagnostics, none of these included all potential viruses of concern, indeed, the most important assays confirmed in recent human trials, antibody detection of PCMV/PRV and screening for PERV-C were not available at all. The situation was similar in Swiss and US laboratories. Different viruses have been tested for in first clinical and preclinical trials performed in various countries. Conclusion Based on these results it is necessary to establish special virological laboratories able to test for all xenotransplantation-relevant viruses using validated assays, optimally in the xenotransplantation centers.

description: We consider the impact that temporal correlations in the measurement statistics can have on the achievable precision in a sequential metrological protocol. In this setting, and for a single quantum probe, we establish that it is the transitions between the measurement basis states that plays the most significant role in determining the precision, with the resulting conditional Fisher information being interpretable as a rate of information acquisition. Projective measurements are shown to elegantly demonstrate this in two disparate estimation settings. Firstly, in determining the temperature of an environment and, secondly, to ascertain a parameter of the system Hamiltonian. In both settings we show that the sequential estimation approach can provide a useful method to enhance the achievable precision.

Et y m o l o g y: The specific epithet points on Jürgen Schmidl (Nuremberg), who collected all specimens.
De s c r i p t i on: Male, 1,7 mm, hind wings well developed. Brown, covered sparsely the yellow hairs, hairs decumbent. Legs and antennae somewhat lighter (some specimens are dark brown). Antennae slender with club not well developed, segments 9, 10 and 11 little broader than 7. Segments 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 smaller, segment 1 broader. Segment 1 long, slightly curved. Space between antennae less broad as segment 1 long (Atomaria s. str.). The tip of segment 1 is reaching the eyes. Legs slender and without any features. Head with eyes relatively extended but not convex. Pronotum with rounded margin, broadest behind the middle. Margin before the middle more straight, behind the middle rounded. Pronotum moderately punctate, with puncture diameter of the same size of the distance between the puncture. Elytra elongate, somewhat broader than pronotum. Puncture on elytra (on basal third) like on pronotum.
.
Co mm e n t: The new species resembles to a few nearctic species, e. g. Atomaria nigricollis CASEY, 1900, A. patens CASEY, 1900, but it is well distinguished by its slen- der antennae with clubs slightly separated. The nearctic Atomaria need revision and it is not possible to declare anything about Nearctic Atomaria. Further, A. schmidli resembles to palaearctic species, e.g. A. abietina J. R. SAHLBERG, 1888, A. bella REITTER, 1875 (fig. 4) or A. elongatula ERICHSON, 1846 (fig. 5).

description: The current Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development test guideline number 487 (OECD TG No. 487) provides instruction on how to conduct the in vitro micronucleus assay. This assay is one of the gold standard approaches for measuring the mutagenicity of test items; however, it is directed at testing low molecular weight molecules and may not be appropriate for particulate materials (e.g. engineered nanoparticles [ENPs]). This study aimed to adapt the in vitro micronucleus assay for ENP testing and underpins the development of an OECD guidance document. A harmonized, nano-specific protocol was generated and evaluated by two independent laboratories. Cell lines utilized were human lymphoblastoid (TK6) cells, human liver hepatocytes (HepG2) cells, Chinese hamster lung fibroblast (V79) cells, whole blood, and buffy coat cells from healthy human volunteers. These cells were exposed to reference ENPs from the Joint Research Council (JRC): SiO2 (RLS-0102), Au5nm and Au30nm (RLS-03, RLS-010), CeO2 (NM212), and BaSO4 (NM220). Tungsten carbide-cobalt (WC/Co) was used as a trial particulate positive control. The chemical controls were positive in all cell cultures, but WC/Co was only positive in TK6 and buffy coat cells. In TK6 cells, mutagenicity was observed for SiO2- and both Au types. In HepG2 cells, Au5nm and SiO2 showed sub-two-fold increases in micronuclei. In V79 cells, whole blood, and buffy coat cells, no genotoxicity was detected with the test materials. The data confirmed that ENPs could be tested with the harmonized protocol, additionally, concordant data were observed across the two laboratories with V79 cells. WC/Co may be a suitable particulate positive control in the in vitro micronucleus assay when using TK6 and buffy coat cells. Detailed recommendations are therefore provided to adapt OECD TG No. 487 for testing ENP.

description: Strongly differing static dipole moments of the trans and cis isomers of photochromic azobenzene allow for optical switching of the work function of azobenzene-functionalized self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). We apply these properties in a fundamental experiment to manipulate the area size of the switched SAM. Azobenzene molecules were excited by ultraviolet laser illumination, and the transient isomerization profile of the SAM was spatially resolved recording photoemission electron microscopy images. Thereby, we demonstrate the spatial tuning of the SAM's work function and discuss the role of the laser spot profile in generating sharp edges or gradual changes of the work function.

description: Nigerian Arabic displays an interesting interplay of maintenance of inherited structures along with striking contact-induced innovations in a number of domains. This chapter summarizes the various domains where contact-based change has occurred, concentrating on those less studied not only in Arabic linguistics, but in linguistics in general, namely idiomatic structure and an expanded functionalization of demonstratives. Methodologically, comparative corpora are employed to demonstrate the degree of contact-based influence.

description: A sustainable reversed-phase chromatographic method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of three active pharmaceutical ingredients, dorzolamide, brinzolamide, and timolol, used to treat glaucoma. The eco-friendly solvent isopropanol has been used as an organic mobile phase constituent. According to the Hansen space green solvent selection tool, isopropanol has a G score of 6.5, comparable to ethanol, which has a G score of 6.6. The mobile phase consists of isopropanol: aqueous sodium acetate buffer (0.1 M, pH 4.25) in the ratio of 10:90 (v/v). The flow rate was maintained at 1 mL/min. Dorzolamide and brinzolamide were detected at 254 nm, and timolol was detected at 295 nm. A high-purity silica with a polymeric C18 modification column (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm particle size) was used for this separation. The three compounds were eluted within 8 min. The method was validated according to ICH guidelines. The calibration curves were linear in the range of 20–70 µg/mL, 40–140 µg/mL, and 20–70 µg/mL for dorzolamide, brinzolamide, and timolol, respectively. The LODs were found to be 1.61 µg/mL, 1.60 µg/mL, and 3.16 µg/mL for dorzolamide, brinzolamide, and timolol, respectively. Good accuracy and precision were obtained for the three compounds. The greenness and whiteness of the method were indicated using the AGREE, ChlorTox, and RGB12 tools.

description: The logico-pluralist LogiKEy knowledge engineering methodology and framework is applied to the modelling of a theory of legal balancing, in which legal knowledge (cases and laws) is encoded by utilising context-dependent value preferences. The theory obtained is then used to formalise, automatically evaluate, and reconstruct illustrative property law cases (involving the appropriation of wild animals) within the Isabelle/HOL proof assistant system, illustrating how LogiKEy can harness interactive and automated theorem-proving technology to provide a testbed for the development and formal verification of legal domain-specific languages and theories. Modelling value-oriented legal reasoning in that framework, we establish novel bridges between the latest research in knowledge representation and reasoning in non-classical logics, automated theorem proving, and applications in legal reasoning.

Diagnosis. Body weakly stellate. Abactinal plates low tabulate with weakly to strongly expressed fasciolar channels. Hemispherical granules present on abactinal, marginal, and actinal plate surface which are deciduous on preserved specimens. Large, spatulate type pedicellariae present. Furrow spines, two, thickened and oval in crosssection. Large, thick subambulacral spine present in addition to furrow spine
Comments. Cladaster includes five nominal species, some of which are separated by either continuous character differences (i.e., number of superomarginals vary between species, number of granules per plate surface, relative thickness of furrow spines) or relatively few, discrete character differences. Clark and Downey (1992) and McKnight (2006) have also commented on how ontogenetic characters, such as specimen size and number of abutting superomarginal plates have been the primary means of distinguishing species. Factors such as the wide geographic separation of known species and paucity of specimens have encouraged retention of established Cladaster species, in spite of overlapping characters and discrete taxonomic boundaries.

description: Reactions of the technetium(I) nitrosyl complex [Tc(NO)(Cp)(PPh3)Cl] with triphenylphosphine chalcogenides EPPh3 (E = O, S, Se), and Ag(PF6) in a CH2Cl2/MeOH mixture (v/v, 2/1) result in an exchange of the chlorido ligand and the formation of [Tc(NO)(Cp)(PPh3)(EPPh3)](PF6) compounds. The cationic acetonitrile complex [Tc(NO)(Cp)(PPh3)(NCCH3)]+ is formed when the reaction is conducted in NCCH3 without additional ligands. During the isolation of the corresponding PF6− salt a gradual decomposition of the anion was detected in the solvent mixture applied. The yields and the purity of the product increase when the BF4− salt is used instead. The acetonitrile ligand is bound remarkably strongly to technetium and exchange reactions readily proceed only with strong donors, such as pyridine or ligands with ‘soft’ donor atoms, such as the thioether thioxane. Substitutions on the cyclopentadienyl ring do not significantly influence the ligand exchange behavior of the starting material. 99Tc NMR spectroscopy is a valuable tool for the evaluation of reactions of the complexes of the present study. The extremely large chemical shift range of this method allows the ready detection of corresponding ligand exchange reactions. The observed 99Tc chemical shifts depend on the donor properties of the ligands. DFT calculations support the discussions about the experimental results and provide explanations for some of the unusual findings.
Ortega on liberalism and democracy: revisiting an old discussion
Creators: name: Morujão, Carlos
Publisher: name: International Journal of Philosophy and Social Values
Year: 2025

description: In this paper I address the problem of Ortega’s liberalism. I try to characterize Ortega’s liberal creed considering his well-known statemen, in The Revolt of the Masses, that the 20th century needs a liberalism different from the 19th century one. I argue that some traits of Ortega’s liberalism, namely, Ortega’s concern with social rights, can also be found in some liberal authors of the Weimar Republic. However, my central claim in this paper is that the kind of liberalism Ortega proposes is only understandable in the light of its philosophical groundwork. I also try to highlight the changes in Ortega’s concept of liberalism, from his early liberal socialism (under the influence of Paul Natorp) to the mature liberalism that follows Ortega’s acceptance of phenomenology, of which we find a document in Meditations on Quixote of 1914 and in “New and old politics”, published in the same year. On the basis of this phenomenological turn, Ortega will propose a distinction between liberalism and democracy, as two different answers to two different problems. Finaly, I discuss the hypotheses of the existence of a third phase in Ortega’s liberalism, more pessimistic and conservative, of which evidence can be found in his essay On the Romam Empire.

description: We previously found that feeding rats with broccoli or cauliflower leads to the formation of characteristic DNA adducts in the liver, intestine and various other tissues. We identified the critical substances in the plants as 1-methoxy-3-indolylmethyl (1-MIM) glucosinolate and its degradation product 1-MIM-OH. DNA adduct formation and the mutagenicity of 1-MIM-OH in cell models were drastically enhanced when human sulfotransferase (SULT) 1A1 was expressed. The aim of this study was to clarify the role of SULT1A1 in DNA adduct formation by 1-MIM-OH in mouse tissues in vivo. Furthermore, we compared the endogenous mouse Sult1a1 and transgenic human SULT1A1 in the activation of 1-MIM-OH using genetically modified mouse strains. We orally treated male wild-type (wt) and Sult1a1-knockout (ko) mice, as well as corresponding lines carrying the human SULT1A1-SULT1A2 gene cluster (tg and ko-tg), with 1-MIM-OH. N2-(1-MIM)-dG and N6-(1-MIM)-dA adducts in DNA were analysed using isotope-dilution UPLC-MS/MS. In the liver, caecum and colon adducts were abundant in mice expressing mouse and/or human SULT1A1, but were drastically reduced in ko mice (1.2–10.6% of wt). In the kidney and small intestine, adduct levels were high in mice carrying human SULT1A1-SULT1A2 genes, but low in wt and ko mice (1.8–6.3% of tg-ko). In bone marrow, adduct levels were very low, independently of the SULT1A1 status. In the stomach, they were high in all four lines. Thus, adduct formation was primarily controlled by SULT1A1 in five out of seven tissues studied, with a strong impact of differences in the tissue distribution of mouse and human SULT1A1. The behaviour of 1-MIM-OH in these models (levels and tissue distribution of DNA adducts; impact of SULTs) was similar to that of methyleugenol, classified as “probably carcinogenic to humans”. Thus, there is a need to test 1-MIM-OH for carcinogenicity in animal models and to study its adduct formation in humans consuming brassicaceous foodstuff.
Well-being is dead, long live well-being!
Creators: name: Piper, Mark
Publisher: name: International Journal of Philosophy and Social Values
Year: 2025

description: My primary concern in this paper is with how answering a central metaethical question about well-being impacts work on substantive theories of well-being. Specifically, I argue that well-being invariantism is a priori untenable and hence that any attempt to establish one or more substantive prudential goods as the ‘essence’ of well-being is doomed to failure. I further argue that a priori considerations establish the truth of well-being contextualism. Importantly, the truth of well-being contextualism does not undermine the possibility of making objective, substantive well-being claims. Once a context or orientation is established, the relevant standards become clear and derivative objective judgments are possible. The upshot of this paper is that philosophers should abandon the attempt to establish any invariant substantive claims about well-being as such (well-being invariantism is dead). Instead, we should focus on clarifying the most important contexts in which we wish to make well-being claims and seek to make progress in those (long live well-being).

The dialectics of performativity: Judith Butler and the cultural constitution
Creators: name: Kumar, Aiswarya Pradeep
name: George, Anoop
Publisher: name: International Journal of Philosophy and Social Values
Year: 2025

description: Judith Butler dismantles the traditional notion ‘sex precedes gender’ and advocates that sex and gender are constituted through the repetition of cultural acts. For Butler, ‘gender is performative,’ and she negates the pre-ontological status of the body to claim that ‘sex is already gendered.’ Butler further reinforces that, like gender, the formation of the body also evolves in a cultural space. Butler asserts that the construction of the body takes place through materialization, wherein it becomes an embodied subject that can only be known through discourses. Butler points out that power has a prominent role in the construction of the body, and it creates both intelligible and unintelligible bodies through social norms. Butler suggests that all bodies cannot represent their own identity and that their status becomes invisible to society. Butler raises the question of whose life matters here and whose life is counted as valuable. In her works, Butler talks about marginalized people and advocates that all human lives matter in society. The paper attempts to study the notion of embodiment in Butler’s Philosophy.

description: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the incremental levels of n-3 fatty acids (FA) in starter feed (SF) on growth and metabolic performance of milk-fed calves. From day 3 of age, 30 female calves (39.4 ± 3.1 kg of body weight) were randomly assigned to one of three dietary treatments: (1) SF supplemented with 3.3% palm fatty acids (PO), (2) SF supplemented with 1.7% of PO and 1.9% fish oil (PFO), or (3) SF supplemented with 3.9% fish oil (FO). Chopped straw (7.5% of DM) was included in the SF of all treatments as total mixed ration (TMR). Diets had similar energy and protein contents. Total n-3 FA (% of total FA) and n-6/n-3 of PO, PFO, and FO were 1.90, 6.80, and 11.8 and 15.5, 4.50, and 2.70, respectively. The BW was greater for calves receiving FO (60.2 ± 0.3 kg) compared with PFO (58.7 ± 0.3 kg; p = 0.007) and tended to be greater for calves receiving FO vs. PO (59.0 ± 0.3 kg; p = 0.050). Because there was no interaction effect between diet × week of experiment, the greater BW of FO could not be attributed to the dietary treatment. Accordingly, average daily gain, total dry matter intake (DMI), starter DMI, and gain to intake ratio (G:FI) did not differ among dietary treatments during the entire period of the study (p > 0.05). Dietary treatments did not impact body size parameters such as body length, body girth, withers height, heart girth, hip height, and width (p > 0.05). Neither ruminal fermentation parameters nor blood variables were influenced by supplementing the types of oil at different time points. Calves’ behavioral parameters, such as standing, lying, eating, and ruminating, were not influenced by different dietary treatments (p > 0.05). The number of days with abnormal fecal score was not different among dietary groups (p > 0.05). Overall, our findings suggest that changing the n-6/n-3 ratio in starter feed by incremental replacement of palm fatty acid with fish oil at a moderate supplemental level of ~3% of DM may not affect the growth and metabolic performance of young calves under non-challenged conditions.

description: Machine learning (ML) algorithms have played an important role in contemporary neurosurgical cancer research for more than a decade. For their high impact potential, many ML models have been developed to potentially improve preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative neurosurgical care upon implementation. Nevertheless, though many ML models have been developed with the intent of improving neurosurgical oncology care, few studies have evaluated the efficacy and/or effectiveness of these algorithms in practice. This gap between ML model development and implementation is being increasingly referred to as the "AI chasm" in the ML literature . This chasm obscures whether ML has actually led to measurable improvements in neurosurgical oncology care. This scoping review aims to assess the prevalence of ML implementation research in neurosurgical oncology in the last two decades.
An idea of public reason: exclusionary and broad
Creators: name: Fernandes, Diogo
Publisher: name: International Journal of Philosophy and Social Values
Year: 2025

description: Any conception of public reason that includes a principle of restraint on certain kinds of reasons, making them inadmissible for the purposes of public political justification, has to be specified according to the following characteristics: 1) the admission of reasons other than those which are part of its content, in which case it can be distinguished as to its exclusivity or inclusivity; and 2) the object of its application – only the basic structure of society or something beyond it – in which case it can be distinguished as to its limits. I will defend an idea of public reason characterized as exclusionary and broad, not admitting reasons that do not belong to the public political culture of pluralist democracies and extending to all matters involving the coercive power of the state. Against an inclusive perspective, I will argue that the fears related to the lack of authenticity of public political discourse are not only unfounded, but that the exclusionary view contributes better to fix the duty of neutral justification in the public political culture. Against a narrow perspective, I will argue that the incompleteness of public reason cannot be determined a priori, and that its limitation to the basic structure is inconsistent with the conditions of reasonable disagreement.
