Minas House / Sabella Arquitetura

When architect Frederico Sabella left his office in São Paulo for his first visit to the farm in Itanhandu, in southern Minas Gerais, he was struck by the beauty of the cornfield visible from the top of the hill chosen for the house’s construction. Although there was ample space, the ideal spot was not at the summit. To ensure a more sheltered and inviting area, Sabella suggested to the young farmer that the house be positioned three or four meters below.

Drivers of diversification in fungal pathogen populations

by Daniel Murante, Deborah Ann Hogan

To manage and treat chronic fungal diseases effectively, we require an improved understanding of their complexity. There is an increasing appreciation that chronic infection populations are often heterogeneous due to diversification and drift, even within a single microbial species. Genetically diverse populations can contribute to persistence and resistance to treatment by maintaining cells with different phenotypes capable of thriving in these dynamic environments.

Psychometric evaluation of the Polish adaptation of the Body Appreciation Scale-2 for Children (BAS-2C)

by Karolina Kubicka, Agata Trzcińska, Małgorzata Gambin

Positive body image is crucial in fostering self-esteem, mental well-being, and positive social functioning. However, our understanding of its development and role in school-aged children remains limited due to a scarcity of measures available for this age group across various countries and cultures. To bridge this gap, the aim of this study was to adapt the Body Appreciation Scale-2 for Children (BAS-2C) for Polish children aged 8–13 years. Читать дальше...

Salt stress memory in tall fescue: Interaction of different stress stages, pollination system and genetic diversity

by Maryam Safari, Mohammad Mahdi Majidi

Introduction

The effects of salinity memory and its interaction with genetic diversity for drought tolerance and pollination system in terms of morphological, physiological, root characteristics and spectral reflectance indices (SRIs) in tall fescue is still unknown.

Methods

Four tall fescue genotypes (two drought-sensitive and two drought-tolerant) were manually controlled to produce four selfed (S1) and four open-pollinated (OP) progeny genotypes (finally eight progeny genotypes). Читать дальше...

An efficient blockchain-based authentication scheme with transferability

by Xiushu Jin, Kazumasa Omote

In the development of web applications, the rapid advancement of Internet technologies has brought unprecedented opportunities and increased the demand for user authentication schemes. Before the emergence of blockchain technology, establishing trust between two unfamiliar entities relied on a trusted third party for identity verification. However, the failure or malicious behavior of such a trusted third party could undermine such authentication schemes (e.g.... Читать дальше...

Generating novel tennis racket shape concepts using a theoretical morphospace

by Robyn A. Grant, Vincent Bonhomme, Tom Allen

Statistical shape analysis, or morphometrics, is a technique commonly used in evolutionary biology to summarise a population of samples. Theoretical morphometrics extends the current population of samples into a theoretical space. Using the lawn tennis racket as an example, this paper showcases the potential of morphometrics as a tool for inspiring design concepts for novel sporting goods. It showcases how morphometrics can be applied to summarise... Читать дальше...

Prevalence and prognostic role of hypochloremia in patients with acute heart failure in Ethiopia: A single-center retrospective analysis

by Gashaw Solela

Background

In patients with heart failure (HF), multiple electrolyte disorders are common, and recent studies have shown that chloride disorders play a significant role in the prognosis of HF. Data about the prevalence and prognostic role of hypochloremia in patients with acute HF (AHF) are scarce in African nations, including Ethiopia. Hence, this study aimed to assess the prevalence, associated factors, and prognostic role of hypochloremia in patients with AHF in Ethiopia. Читать дальше...

The influence of enjoyment, boredom, and burnout on EFL achievement: Based on latent moderated structural equation modeling

by Maojie Zhou, Xuemei Wang

In recent years, the boom in the field of positive psychology in second language acquisition research has seen an increasing number of scholars focusing on the individual well-being of second language learners alongside their learning effectiveness. Despite this growing interest, there is a need to further investigate the specific emotional factors influencing academic achievement in foreign language learning. This study investigates the impact of three emotions—enjoyment... Читать дальше...

Chromatic processing and receptive-field structure in neurons of the anterior optic tract of the honeybee brain

by Theo Mota, Benjamin Paffhausen, Randolf Menzel

Color vision in honeybees is a well-documented perceptual phenomenon including multiple behavioral tests of trichromaticity and color opponency. Data on the combined color/space properties of high order visual neurons in the bee brain is however limited. Here we fill this gap by analyzing the activity of neurons in the anterior optic tract (AOT), a high order brain region suggested to be involved in chromatic processing. The spectral response...

White matter disconnection impacts proprioception post-stroke

by Matthew Chilvers, Trevor Low, Deepthi Rajashekar, Sean Dukelow

Proprioceptive impairments occur in approximately 50–64% of people following stroke. While much is known about the grey matter structures underlying proprioception, our understanding of the white matter correlates of proprioceptive impairments is less well developed. It is recognised that behavioural impairments post-stroke are often the result of disconnection between wide-scale brain networks, however the disconnectome associated... Читать дальше...
