This research aimed to analyze the development of media competence —specifically regarding ideology and values—among secondary school students and their teachers at a co-educational high school in Guadalajara, Jalisco. The goal was to foster the critical appropriation of commercial advertising content on social-digital networks that reproduces phenotypical classism, racism, and gender stereotypes. A qualitative methodology within a hermeneutic paradigm was selected. Data collection techniques included interviews with administrators, teachers, and students. A focus group was employed as the primary technique, involving both participating students and teachers. Additionally, two ad hoc questionnaires were designed to identify consumption patterns of commercial advertising on social-digital networks, alongside an evaluation rubric for the focus groups. The results identified the students' consumption patterns on social-digital networks and assessed the development levels of the "ideology and values" media competence. According to the proposed rubric, students scored at an intermediate level, while teachers reached an advanced intermediate level. Finally, the study established principles for a media literacy workshop proposal aimed at the teaching staff of this educational institution

Hospitalised patients with eating disorders (EDs) often present with severe malnutrition, electrolyte imbalances, and metabolic complications that require specialised nutritional approaches. This consensus aimed to develop evidence-informed, expert-driven recommendations for the nutritional management of hospitalised patients with EDs, addressing risk stratification, caloric progression, refeeding protocols, formulation selection, supplementation and long-term monitoring. An eight-expert panel conducted a modified Delphi process in two online rating rounds. One hundred six statements were formulated across 12 thematic sections and evaluated on a 5-point Likert scale (≥85% accepted, 80%-84.9% revised, <80% rejected). Revised statements were re-evaluated in Round 2 and, if necessary, finalised at an online meeting. Of the 106 original statements, 89 (84.0%) reached immediate consensus, 14 (13.2%) required revision, and three (2.8%) were eliminated. Ten revised statements exceeded the ≥85% threshold in Round 2, one was rejected, and three 'pending' statements were approved in a conclusive online meeting. The final statements span key domains of inpatient care of EDs, including comprehensive nutritional assessment, stepwise refeeding regimens, careful electrolyte and biochemical monitoring, personalised approaches for those at high risk of refeeding syndrome and tailored considerations for paediatric and perinatal populations. The final consensus statements provide a structured framework for the nutritional rehabilitation of hospitalised patients with EDs, emphasising balanced yet flexible refeeding protocols, vigilant metabolic monitoring, ethical considerations in limited-capacity cases, and continuity of care through discharge and relapse prevention. By aligning clinical practice with specialist insight and existing guidelines, these recommendations aim to standardise and enhance inpatient ED management.

El estudio que se presenta, se evaluó emociones tempranas aplicando estrategias pedagógicas para fomentar la inteligencia emocional en preescolares ecuatorianos. Participaron 30 niños y niñas de entre 4 y 5 años, pertenecientes a una institución de educación inicial. Se aplicó un diseño cuasiexperimental intrasujeto con medición pretest y postest, utilizando un instrumento validado que evaluó cinco dimensiones emocionales: regulación emocional, empatía, expresión emocional, resolución de conflictos y conciencia emocional. La intervención, desarrollada durante doce semanas, incluyó estrategias como narrativas emocionales, juego simbólico, rutinas afectivas y círculos de diálogo. Se observó un aumento promedio general por dimensión, lo cual sugiere que la intervención educativa tuvo un efecto positivo, con porcentajes buenos en las mejoras destacándose la conciencia emocional con 58.6 % y la expresión emocional con 51.8%. Los resultados mostraron mejoras estadísticamente significativas en todas las dimensiones (p &lt; .001), con tamaños del efecto elevados (d &gt; 0.80), existiendo un efecto fuerte en las dimensiones empatía, expresión emocional, regulación emocional, resolución de conflictos y un efecto muy fuerte en la dimensión conciencia emocional, hallazgo importante porque supone que con las estrategias implementadas en los niños impulsaron más hacia el reconocimiento de sus emociones, su manera de verbalizar, reconfortar y apoyar a otros niños, como regular su emociones y poder tomar decisiones en conflictos. Se concluye que el uso de estrategias pedagógicas para fomentar la inteligencia emocional en preescolares fortalece las emociones tempranas.

Menurut data UPT Puskesmas Lalonggasumeeto , penyakit dermatitis kontak iritan (DKI) menempati urutan ke-9 sebagai penyakit terbanyak di Puskesmas Lalonggasumeeto Kabupaten Konawe mencapai 18 Kasus pada tahun 2022 yang diakibatkan alergi dengan keluhan seperti gatal- gatal, kulit memerah, kulit kering, dan bersisik. khususnya pada masyarakat desa Niitanasa yang mayoritas penduduknya bekerja sebagai nelayan tradisional yang biasanya pergi melaut pada pukul lima sore sampai subuh. Berdasarkan Hasil Penelitian yang dilakukanpada Nelayan Di Desa Niitanasa Kecamatan Lalonggasumeeto pada Bulan Juni 2023 diperoleh data jumlah Dermatitis Kontak iritan pada nelayan berjumlah 10 Kasus yang dikaitkan dengan masa kerja, penggunaan APD dan personal hygiene nelayan.

Abstract The design of oligonucleotides with uniform hybridisation temperatures is essential for successful gene synthesis. However, current computational tools for oligonucleotide design face significant limitations, including difficulties in processing long DNA sequences, poor adaptability to specific experimen- tal conditions, limited control over oligonucleotide length, and challenges in minimising spurious dimer formation. To address these issues, we devel- oped CertPrime, an innovative tool designed for scalable and efficient han- dling of long DNA sequences. CertPrime enables precise customisation of experimental parameters, provides flexibility to limit the maximum oligonu- cleotide length, and generates designs with reduced deviations in melting temperatures across overlapping regions compared to existing tools. We experimentally compared CertPrime designs with benchmark design meth- ods for a complex DNA sequence and found that CertPrime design led to more efficient gene assembly, significantly reducing the occurrence of non- specific bands. These results make CertPrime a powerful and versatile tool for oligonucleotide design in gene synthesis applications. Highlights CertPrime improves oligonucleotide design by minimising melting-temperature deviations and spurious dimer formation. The new tool enhances gene-synthesis efficiency, allowing a precise con- trol over oligonucleotide lengths and experimental parameters. Certprime is a scalable tool capable of designing over 99% of the human genome with optimized sequence assembly Graphical Abstract

In eyes lacking capsular support, scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SF IOL) implantation serves as an effective solution. However, unintended SF IOL tilt can adversely affect patient outcomes. Drawing inspiration from the use of retention sutures in other surgical settings, we introduce a novel technique that uses transsulcus retention sutures (TSRSs) to treat severe SF IOL tilt in the use of 3 patients. The index case presented with uveitis–glaucoma–hyphema syndrome after double-flanged scleral fixation, while 2 other patients suffered from malfunction of the haptic–optic junction during flanged haptic scleral fixation. Severe optic tilt was noted in all 3 patients. Paired TSRSs were made by passing 9-0 polypropylene to and from the opposite scleral wall 3 mm apart in the sulcus plane, centered over the IOL optic, to either segregate the IOL optic from the posterior iris or to sandwich the IOL between 2 pairs of TSRS. Resolution of severe tilt and their sequelae were achieved in all cases.

Abstract This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the modelling tools available for integrating climate change impacts into pest risk assessments (PRA), elucidating the existing methodologies and models employed to understand the potential distributions of pests based on historical data and under future climate change scenarios. We highlight the strengths and weaknesses of these models and provide commentary on their ability to identify emerging threats due to climate change accurately and adequately, considering pest establishment likelihood, host crop exposure and the distribution of impacts. The simplest methods are based on climate‐matching models, degree‐day development models and Köppen–Geiger climate classification. Correlative species distribution models derive species–environment relationships and have been applied to PRA with mixed success. When fitted models are applied to different continents they are usually challenged to extrapolate climate suitability patterns outside the climate space used to train them. Global climate change is creating novel climates, exacerbating this ‘transferability’ problem. Some tools have been developed to reveal when these models are extrapolating. Process‐oriented models, which focus on mechanisms and processes rather than distribution patterns, are inherently more reliable for extrapolation to novel climates such as new continents and future climate scenarios. These models, however, require more skill and generally more knowledge of the species to craft robust models.
