Abstract

This document explores the role of museums in relation to cultural heritage and issues of ownership. It offers teaching and assessment ideas for educators to discuss these topics in the classroom. The lessons cover various aspects, including the significance of cultural property, arguments for and against its return, the impact of looting and illegal trade, the role of museums in acquiring and storing artifacts, and the representation of diverse perspectives in museum displays. The document includes a glossary of relevant terms. Two contrasting views on the return of historical objects to their countries of origin are presented, highlighting the ongoing debate surrounding this issue. Ioannis D. Stefanidis argues for establishing the origin of artifacts and raises complex questions about repatriation, while Nicholas Thomas emphasizes the need for careful consideration on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the cultural and social benefits of the artifacts. The text also emphasizes the importance of investing in museums and educational programs. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Background Pan-intestinal capsule endoscopy (PCE) evaluates the small bowel and colon noninvasively. This study evaluated diagnostic accuracy and safety of PCE vs. colonoscopy as first-line examination in suspected mid–lower gastrointestinal bleeding (MLGIB). Methods In this prospective, single-center, single-blinded cohort study, consecutive patients with suspected MLGIB underwent PCE followed by same-day colonoscopy. Diagnostic accuracy for potentially hemorrhagic lesions (PHLs; combined diagnosis by PCE + colonoscopy) and incidence of adverse events were assessed. Results 100 patients were included (median age 70 [range 18–92] years; 65% female). PHLs were diagnosed in 46 patients, including small-bowel and/or colon angioectasias in 32. PCE correctly identified 54 individuals without PHLs, and 95.7% (44/46) of those with PHLs vs. 50.0% (23/46) for colonoscopy (P<0.01). PHLs were detected by PCE alone in 65.2% (30/46), both examinations in 28.3% (13/46), and colonoscopy alone in 6.5% (3/46). PHLs were diagnosed at the ileocolonic region in 28% of patients, with PCE diagnosing 25/28 cases (89.3%) and colonoscopy diagnosing 23/28 (82.1%; P=0.13). Interventional procedures were performed at colonoscopy in 13/81 patients with iron-deficiency anemia (16.0%) vs. 6/19 patients with overt bleeding (31.6%; P<0.01). No significant adverse events occurred with PCE vs. 2% with colonoscopy. Conclusions In patients with MLGIB, PCE avoided further invasive procedures in >50% of patients. PCE was safe and more effective than colonoscopy in identifying PHL both in the small bowel and colon. These results support the potential use of PCE as first-line examination in patients with suspected MLGIB. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

[EN] The objective of this study is to help understand attitudes towards issues such as the hunting acceptability, the control of species that produce damage, or measures to support the conservation of endangered animals. The survey is carried out using de Citizen Panel for Social Research in Andalusia (PACIS). This panel is an instrument implemented by IESA-CSIC for the collection of quality information in research for scientific purposes or improve public administration. The 4th wave of PACIS, carried out between May and June,2017, focused on opinions and attitudes about wildlife. A total of 750 people has participated in this survey. The results show panelists preferences for different measures oriented to protect the environment, provide data on the responsibility that citizens attribute to farmers and ranchers when implementing conservation measures in order to protect endangered species., [ES] El objetivo de este estudio es ayudar a comprender las actitudes hacia temas como la aceptabilidad de la caza, el control de especies que provocan daños, o medidas de apoyo a la conservación de animales amenazados.

Abstract

There is scarce data focused on recurrence neoplasia rate (RR) after piecemeal endoscopic mucosal resection (pEMR) of 10–19 mm non-pedunculated colorectal lesions (NPL). We aimed to analyze the RR after pEMR of 10–19 mm NPL, identify risk factors for its development and compare it with RR after pEMR of ≥ 20 mm NPL. Retrospective cohort-study including all ≥10 mm NPL resected by pEMR in our center between 2018–2022 with an early repeat colonoscopy (ERC). RR was defined as recurrence neoplasia identified in the ERC EMR scar with virtual chromoendoscopy or histological confirmation. A total of 444 NPL were assessed, 124 (27.9%) with 10–19 mm. In the ERC, performed a median of 6 months after pEMR, RR was significantly lower for 10–19 mm NPL compared to ≥ 20 mm NPL (13/124 vs 68/320, p = 0.005). In subgroup analysis, RR after pEMR of 15–19 mm NPL was significantly higher compared to 10–14 mm NPL (13/98 vs 0, p = 0.041) but not significantly different compared to ≥ 20 mm NPL (13/98 vs 68/320, p = 0.073). In multivariable analysis, size of NPL (HR 1.501, 95% CI 1.012–2.227, p = 0.044) was the only independent risk factor identified for RR for 10–19 mm NPL. Although the early RR after pEMR of 10–19 mm NPL is significantly lower compared to ≥ 20 mm NPL, it is non-negligible (10.5%) and appears to be the highest among 15–19 mm NPL. The size of the lesion was the only independent risk factor for RR. Our findings should be accounted in the selection of the most appropriate post-polypectomy endoscopic surveillance.

Abstract

Understanding the biogeography of species in space and time is essential for the development of evidence-based conservation and management plans. In this paper we propose a biogeographical spatial modelling approach based on the favourability function, and developed under a fuzzy logic framework, to unravel the historical biogeography of the two European wild rabbit subspecies, Oryctolagus cuniculus algirus (Oca) and Oryctolagus cuniculus cuniculus (Occ), in the Iberian Peninsula (IP). We first reviewed published and unpublished information (PhD theses, scientific papers, technical reports, etc.) on the occurrence of each rabbit subspecies throughout the IP. We compiled data from 201 Iberian rabbit populations and from genetic information of 4348 rabbits that was used to identify subspecies. Only populations in which all rabbits surveyed belonged to one subspecies were considered in the modelling procedure. We modelled rabbit subspecies' distribution separately for populations in which nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences were available. We employed a trend surface analysis developed by logistic regressions, which applied the favourability function and fuzzy logic operations. Using our approach we indentify the expansion cores from which both rabbit subspecies would have expanded after isolation during the last glaciations. Furthermore, we reveal the possible existence of a competitive exclusion zone between both rabbit subspecies that may have prevented their further expansion. Finally, our study shows that the Oca subspecies is distributed in north-western areas previously attributed to Occ. This assessment of the actual and historical distribution of each rabbit subspecies may allow more specific conservation interventions, as the two subspecies are not just genetically distinct but also ecologically and behaviourally different. Our methodological approach could be useful in unravelling the historical biogeography of other lesser-known species.
