    Abstract *THIS BOOK WILL SOON BECOME AVAILABLE AS OPEN ACCESS BOOK* This book is an excellent synthesis of the initial and continuing preparation for Mathematics Teaching in Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic and Venezuela, from which comparative analyses can be made that show similarities and differences, and highlight various perspectives. In August 2012, a workshop of the Capacity and Networking Project (CANP) of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) was held in Costa Rica. This CANP brought together for two weeks a group of 66 Mathematics educators, mathematicians, university administrators, and elementary and secondary teachers from Colombia, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, Panamá and Costa Rica. The goal was to promote progress in Mathematics Education in the region; as such it was a unique experience in the region. One of the most important results of this event was the creation of the Mathematics Education Network of Central America and the Caribbean (REDUMATE). It was organized by persons associated with the Mathematics Education Reform Project in Costa Rica (responsible for the most outstanding and innovative curriculum reform in Latin America) and the Inter-American Committee on Mathematics Education (IACME), which is an official regional multinational organization affiliate of ICMI. This book brings to the international Educational Community an important collection of experiences and ideas in the Mathematics Education of four countries of a region within the heart of the American continent, a region that has been many times forgotten. The dissemination of these results can promote the search for international collaborative actions in a wider scale

    Abstract Emotional experiences are a part of our lives. The maladaptive functioning of an individual's emotional field can lead to emotional disturbances of various kinds, such as anxiety and depression. Currently, there is an increasing prevalence of emotional disorders that cause great human suffering and high socioeconomic costs. Emotional processing has a biological basis. The major neuroscientific theories of emotion are based on biological functioning, and all of them take into account the anatomy and function of the tenth cranial nerve: the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve connects the subdiaphragmatic and supradiaphragmatic areas and modulates emotional processing as the basis of interoceptive functioning. Auricular vagus nerve stimulation is a new and innovative neuromodulation technique based on the function of the vagus nerve. Several interventions have shown that this new neurostimulation technique is a very promising resource for treating emotional disorders. In this paper, we summarise three neuroscientific theories of emotion, explain what transcutaneous auricular nerve stimulation is, and present arguments for its use and continued research.

    Abstract Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (HP) is an immune-mediated interstitial lung disease (ILD) characterized by fibrotic HP (fHP) or non-fibrotic HP (non-fHP). Fibrosis is associated with poor prognosis, emphasizing the need for biomarkers to distinguish fHP from non-fHP. This study aimed to determine the plasma levels of GDF15 in HP patients and assess its association with lung function and phenotype classification. GDF15 levels were quantified by ELISA in HP (n = 64), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (n = 54), and healthy control (n = 128) groups. Clinical, demographic, and functional data were obtained from medical records. High-resolution chest CT scans were used to classify HP patients into fHP and non-fHP groups. In addition, receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to determine the cut-off point, sensitivity, and specificity. Our results revealed significantly elevated GDF15 levels in fHP compared to non-fHP (2539 ± 821 pg/ml versus 1783 ± 801 pg/ml; p = 0.009). The estimated cut-off point for plasma GDF15 levels to distinguish fHP from non-fHP was 2193.4 pg/ml (AUC 0.75). These findings suggest that GDF15 may serve as a valuable biomarker for differentiating between fHP and non-fHP, potentially indicating its involvement in lung fibrosis development in HP.

    Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a pivotal role in primary staging of rectal cancer, enabling the determination of appropriate management strategies and prediction of patient outcomes. However, inconsistencies and pitfalls exist in various aspects, including rectal anatomy, MRI protocols and strategies for artifact resolution, as well as in T- and N-staging, all of which limit the diagnostic value of MRI. This narrative and pictorial review offers a comprehensive overview of factors influencing primary staging of rectal cancer and the role of MRI in assessing them. It highlights the significance of the circumferential resection margin and its relationship with the mesorectal fascia, as well as the prognostic role of extramural venous invasion and tumor deposits. Special attention is given to tumors of the lower rectum due to their complex anatomy and the challenges they pose in MRI staging. The review also addresses current controversies in rectal cancer staging and the need for personalized risk stratification. In summary, this review provides valuable insights into the role of MRI in the primary staging of rectal cancer, emphasizing key aspects for accurate assessment to enhance patient outcomes.

    Abstract In this study, it was found that hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) can be an effective method for almond shell (AS) valorization. The severity of HTC treatment had a significant effect on hydrochar yields, with higher severity promoting carbonization but reducing yields. Furthermore, the work found that HTC treatment effectively demineralized biomass samples by removing inorganic material that could catalyze carbonization. As residence time or temperature increased, the amount of carbon increased, while the amount of oxygen decreased. An acceleration in thermal degradation was detected for hydrochars after pretreating for 4 h. The hydrochars showed they had a higher volatile content than untreated biomass, making them potentially useful for producing quality bio-oil through fast pyrolysis. Finally, HTC treatment led to the production of valuable chemicals such as guaiacol and syringol. For syringol production, HTC residence time had more effect than HTC temperature. However, high HTC temperatures benefited levoglucosan production. Overall, the results demonstrated the potential for HTC treatment to be an effective method for valorizing agricultural waste, offering the possibility of producing valuable chemicals.

    Abstract Inter-species microbial transplantations offer the possibility of transferring species-specific microbes and their associated functionality. As a conceptual approach, an intestinal microbiota transplant (IMT) between two marine carnivorous fish species that thrive in different environmental conditions was conducted: from donor Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) to recipient gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata), after obliterating its basal microbiota with an antibiotic treatment. To confirm that the gut microbiota was able to recover after antibiotics without the influence of the diet, a group of gilthead seabream not submitted to the IMT was kept fasted as an internal control. To assess the effect of the diet after the IMT, two groups of gilthead seabream were respectively fed with their typical diet and with Atlantic salmon diet. At 36 days post-IMT, the gut of the individuals fed with their typical diet was dominated by the feed-associated bacteria, while those fed with the salmon diet had developed a unique microbiota from the convergence of the diet, donor, and recipient microbiota. These results suggested that an intestinal microbiota transplantation may be effective if the basal microbiota from the gut is first cleared and a targeted dietary modification is provided to maintain and enrich the novel bacteria species over time.
