The ThEdu series pursues the smooth transition from an intuitive way of doing mathematics at secondary school to a more formal approach to the subject in STEM education, while favouring software support for this transition by exploiting the power of theorem-proving technologies. What follows is a brief description of how the present volume contributes to this enterprise. The 12th International Workshop on Theorem Proving Components for Educational Software(ThEdu'23), was a satellite event of the 29th international Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE 2023), July 1-4, 2023, Rome, Italy. ThEdu'23 was very successful, with one invited talk, by Yves Bertot (Inria, France), "The challenges of using Type Theory to teach Mathematics", and seven regular contributions. An open call for papers was then issued, to which eight contributions were submitted. Seven submissions have been accepted by our reviewers, who jointly produced at least three careful reports on each of the contributions. The resulting revised papers are collected in the present volume. We, the volume editors, hope that this collection of papers will further promote the development of theorem-proving based software, and that it will allow to improve the mutual understanding between computer scientists, mathematicians and stakeholders in education.

The pursue of what are properties that can be identified to permit an automated reasoning program to generate and find new and interesting theorems is an interesting research goal (pun intended). The automatic discovery of new theorems is a goal in itself, and it has been addressed in specific areas, with different methods. The separation of the "weeds", uninteresting, trivial facts, from the "wheat", new and interesting facts, is much harder, but is also being addressed by different authors using different approaches. In this paper we will focus on geometry. We present and discuss different approaches for the automatic discovery of geometric theorems (and properties), and different metrics to find the interesting theorems among all those that were generated. After this description we will introduce the first result of this article: an undecidability result proving that having an algorithmic procedure that decides for every possible Turing Machine that produces theorems, whether it is able to produce also interesting theorems, is an undecidable problem. Consequently, we will argue that judging whether a theorem prover is able to produce interesting theorems remains a non deterministic task, at best a task to be addressed by program based in an algorithm guided by heuristics criteria. Therefore, as a human, to satisfy this task two things are necessary: an expert survey that sheds light on what a theorem prover/finder of interesting geometric theorems is, and - to enable this analysis - other surveys that clarify metrics and approaches related to the interestingness of geometric theorems. In the conclusion of this article we will introduce the structure of two of these surveys - the second result of this article - and we will discuss some future work., Comment: In Proceedings ADG 2023, arXiv:2401.10725

High Energy Physics - Experiment ,High Energy Physics - Phenomenology - Abstract
New results are presented on a high-statistics measurement of Collins and Sivers asymmetries of charged hadrons produced in deep inelastic scattering of muons on a transversely polarised $^6$LiD target. The data were taken in 2022 with the COMPASS spectrometer using the 160 \gevv\ muon beam at CERN, balancing the existing data on transversely polarised proton targets. The first results from about two-thirds of the new data have total uncertainties smaller by up to a factor of three compared to the previous deuteron measurements. Using all the COMPASS proton and deuteron results, both the transversity and the Sivers distribution functions of the $u$ and $d$ quark, as well as the tensor charge in the measured $x$-range are extracted. In particular, the accuracy of the $d$ quark results is significantly improved.

High Energy Physics - Experiment ,High Energy Physics - Phenomenology - Abstract
The COMPASS Collaboration performed measurements of the Drell-Yan process in 2015 and 2018 using a 190 GeV/c $\pi^{-}$ beam impinging on a transversely polarised ammonia target. Combining the data of both years, we present final results on the amplitudes of the five azimuthal modulations in the dimuon production cross section. Three of these transverse-spin-dependent azimuthal asymmetries (TSAs) probe the nucleon leading-twist Sivers, transversity, and pretzelosity transverse-momentum dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions (PDFs). The other two are induced by subleading effects. These TSAs provide unique new inputs for the study of the nucleon TMD PDFs and their universality properties. In particular, the Sivers TSA observed in this measurement is consistent with the fundamental QCD prediction of a sign change of naive time-reversal-odd TMD PDFs when comparing the Drell-Yan process with semi-inclusive measurements of deep inelastic scattering. Also, within the context of model predictions, the observed transversity TSA is consistent with the expectation of a sign change for the Boer-Mulders function.

12. Sensitivity Analysis for an Effective Transfer of Estimated Material Properties from Cone Calorimeter to Horizontal Flame Spread Simulations

Physics - Fluid Dynamics - Abstract
Predictive flame spread models based on temperature dependent pyrolysis rates require numerous material properties as input parameters. These parameters are typically derived by optimisation and inverse modelling using data from bench scale experiments such as the cone calorimeter. The estimated parameters are then transferred to flame spread simulations, where self-sustained propagation is expected. A fundamental requirement for this transfer is that the simulation model used in the optimisation is sufficiently sensitive to the input parameters that are important to flame spread. Otherwise, the estimated parameters will have an increased associated uncertainty that will be transferred to the flame spread simulation. This is investigated here using a variance-based global sensitivity analysis method, the Sobol indices. The sensitivities of a cone calorimeter and a horizontal flame spread simulation to 15 effective properties of polymethyl methacrylate are compared. The results show significant differences between the setups: the cone calorimeter is dominated by strong interaction effects between two temperature dependent specific heat values, whereas the flame spread is influenced by several parameters. Furthermore, the importance of some parameters for the cone calorimeter is found to be time-varying, suggesting that single-value cost functions may not be sufficient to account for all sensitive parameters during optimisation.

Abstract Despite all the efforts acquired in four years of the COVID-19 pandemic, the path to a full understanding of the biological mechanisms involved in this disease remains complex. This is partly due to a combination of factors, including the inherent characteristics of the infection, socio-environmental elements, and the variations observed within both the viral and the human genomes. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the correlation between genetic host factors and the severity of COVID-19. We conducted whole exome sequencing (WES) of 124 patients, categorized into severe and non-severe groups. From the whole exome sequencing (WES) association analysis, four variants (rs1770731 in CRYBG1, rs7221209 in DNAH17, rs3826295 in DGKE, and rs7913626 in CFAP46) were identified as potentially linked to a protective effect against the clinical severity of COVID-19, which may explain the less severe impact of COVID-19 on the Northern Region. Our findings underscore the importance of carrying out more genomic studies in populations living in the Amazon, one of the most diverse from the point of view of the presence of rare and specific alleles. To our knowledge, this is the first WES study of admixed individuals from the Brazilian Amazon to investigate genomic variants associated with the clinical severity of COVID-19.

Medicine ,Science - Abstract
Abstract Nanocomposites based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are suitable for sensors, due to matrix ability to incorporate nanotube properties. Thus, we developed a low-cost, nanostructured poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) (ABS) polymer piezoresistive sensor produced by additive manufacturing. For this, solution layers of acetone, dimethylformamide and CNTs functionalized with carboxylic acid were pulverized on an ABS substrate using an aerograph. Electrical characterization revealed an anisotropic piezoresistive response of the material, induced by the printing lines direction. Field Emission Gun-Scanning Electron Microscopy showed the nanostructured film spreading after five layers of CNTs as well as the random entanglement of nanotubes on parallel and perpendicular 3D-printed ABS substrates. Raman spectroscopy indicated compression and p-type doping of CNTs in interaction with the polymer, as seen mainly by the blueshift of the G and 2D subbands. The results show that the material is promising for pressure sensors, with potential applications in robotic haptic feedback systems.

Abstract Juruaça virus (JUAV), previously unclassified, was isolated from bats and administered to neonatal and adult BALB/c mice to investigate acute and chronic disease progression. In this study, we conducted genomic sequencing to achieve taxonomic classification and utilized these models to explore the inflammatory response and sickness behavior in both neonatal and adult mice. Neonates received a single intranasal instillation of infected brain homogenate (20 µL), whereas 31-day-old mice were given the same volume intranasally for three consecutive days. Control groups were administered equal volumes of uninfected brain homogenate. Our findings reveal that intranasal JUAV infection-induced acute meningoencephalitis and death in neonates, while adult mice exhibited chronic infection with variable clinical signs, inflammatory mediator production, histopathological changes, and neuropathological features. Interestingly, only some adult mice showed sickness behavior post-infection, and among these, a subset continued to decline and die. The differential tissue damage observed in mice with and without overt disease symptoms suggests mechanisms of resistance or tolerance, where exceeding tolerance capacity resulted in pathological outcomes, including chronic dysfunction or death. This study provides the first evidence of JUAV’s capability to infect mammals, demonstrating its distinct impact on bats and variable effects in neonatal and adult mice. We provisionally classified JUAV as closely related to the clade containing tombus-like virus 6 found in mute swan feces. Our research highlights the importance of understanding viral–host interactions and the inflammatory responses that contribute to disease variability, offering insights into tolerance and resistance mechanisms based on inflammatory response modulation.

Biology (General) ,QH301-705.5 - Abstract
Abstract We describe the geographical variation in tree species composition across Amazonian forests and show how environmental conditions are associated with species turnover. Our analyses are based on 2023 forest inventory plots (1 ha) that provide abundance data for a total of 5188 tree species. Within-plot species composition reflected both local environmental conditions (especially soil nutrients and hydrology) and geographical regions. A broader-scale view of species turnover was obtained by interpolating the relative tree species abundances over Amazonia into 47,441 0.1-degree grid cells. Two main dimensions of spatial change in tree species composition were identified. The first was a gradient between western Amazonia at the Andean forelands (with young geology and relatively nutrient-rich soils) and central–eastern Amazonia associated with the Guiana and Brazilian Shields (with more ancient geology and poor soils). The second gradient was between the wet forests of the northwest and the drier forests in southern Amazonia. Isolines linking cells of similar composition crossed major Amazonian rivers, suggesting that tree species distributions are not limited by rivers. Even though some areas of relatively sharp species turnover were identified, mostly the tree species composition changed gradually over large extents, which does not support delimiting clear discrete biogeographic regions within Amazonia.

The liquidus temperature is an important parameter in understanding the crystalline behavior of materials and in the operation of blast furnaces. Its modeling can be carried out by linear and nonlinear methods through data, considering the artificial neural network a modeling method with high efficiency because it presents the theorem of universal approximation and with that better performances and possibility of greater oscillations. The best linear model and the best nonlinear model were modeled by structural parameters and presented a good numerical approximation, thus demonstrating that mathematical modeling can be performed using structural arguments and also showing a dimensionality reduction method for modeling a thermophysical property of the materials., Comment: 11 pages, 8 figures, 3 tables

Electrical conductivity is of fundamental importance in electric arc furnaces (EAF) and the interaction of this phenomenon with the process slag results in energy losses and low optimization. As mathematical modeling helps in understanding the behavior of phenomena and it was used to predict the electrical conductivity of EAF slags through artificial neural networks. The best artificial neural network had 100 neurons in the hidden layer, with 6 predictor variables and the predicted variable, electrical conductivity. Mean absolute error and standard deviation of absolute error were calculated, and sensitivity analysis was performed to correlate the effect of each predictor variable with the predicted variable., Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, 1 table (AISTech 2023 - Presented and Accepted)

The introduction of automated deduction systems in secondary schools face several bottlenecks. Beyond the problems related with the curricula and the teachers, the dissonance between the outcomes of the geometry automated theorem provers and the normal practice of conjecturing and proving in schools is a major barrier to a wider use of such tools in an educational environment. Since the early implementations of geometry automated theorem provers, applications of artificial intelligence methods, synthetic provers based on inference rules and using forward chaining reasoning are considered to be more suited for education proposes. Choosing an appropriate set of rules and an automated method that can use those rules is a major challenge. We discuss one such rule set and its implementation using the geometry deductive databases method (GDDM). The approach is tested using some chosen geometric conjectures that could be the goal of a 7th year class (approx. 12-year-old students). A lesson plan is presented, its goal is the introduction of formal demonstration of proving geometric theorems, trying to motivate students to that goal, Comment: In Proceedings ThEdu'22, arXiv:2303.05360

The ThEdu series pursues the smooth transition from an intuitive way of doing mathematics at secondary school to a more formal approach to the subject in STEM education, while favouring software support for this transition by exploiting the power of theorem-proving technologies. What follows is a brief description of how the present volume contributes to this enterprise. The 11th International Workshop on Theorem Proving Components for Educational Software (ThEdu'22), was a satellite event of the 8th Federated Logic Conference (FLoC 2022), July 31-August 12, 2022, Haifa, Israel ThEdu'22 was a vibrant workshop, with two invited talk by Thierry Dana-Picard (Jerusalem College of Technology, Jerusalem, Israel) and Yoni Zohar (Bar Ilan University, Tel Aviv, Israel) and four contributions. An open call for papers was then issued, and attracted seven submissions. Those submissions have been accepted by our reviewers, who jointly produced at least three careful reports on each of the contributions. The resulting revised papers are collected in the present volume. The contributions in this volume are a faithful representation of the wide spectrum of ThEdu, ranging from those more focused on the automated deduction research, not losing track of the possible applications in an educational setting, to those focused on the applications, in educational settings, of automated deduction tools and methods. We, the volume editors, hope that this collection of papers will further promote the development of theorem-proving based software, and that it will allow to improve the mutual understanding between computer scientists, mathematicians and stakeholders in education. While this volume goes to press, the next edition of the ThEdu workshop is being prepared: ThEdu'23 will be a satellite event of the 29th international Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE 2023), July 1-4, 2023, Rome, Italy.

- Abstract
Designing tasks to foster students' learning is challenging for teachers. In this article, we aim to understand how designing, enacting, and reflecting on tasks promotes the development of in-service and prospective teachers' didactical knowledge during lesson study. Data was collected through participant observation with audio recordings and document collection. Data analysis was based on a category system for task design and students' work and a teachers' didactical knowledge framework. The results suggest that, despite their different teaching experiences, there are aspects that both in-service and prospective teachers attended to when designing tasks. However, in-service teachers had clearer aims when designing tasks and changed them, after observing and reflecting on students' work. Moreover, proposing tasks and reflecting on students' work allowed both groups to rethink their practice to foster students' learning, highlighting the potential of lesson study to deepen their knowledge.

Statistics - Methodology ,Statistics - Applications - Abstract
Relative survival represents the preferred framework for the analysis of population cancer survival data. The aim is to model the survival probability associated to cancer in the absence of information about the cause of death. Recent data linkage developments have allowed for incorporating the place of residence into the population cancer data bases; however, modeling this spatial information has received little attention in the relative survival setting. We propose a flexible parametric class of spatial excess hazard models (along with inference tools), named "Relative Survival Spatial General Hazard" (RS-SGH), that allows for the inclusion of fixed and spatial effects in both time-level and hazard-level components. We illustrate the performance of the proposed model using an extensive simulation study, and provide guidelines about the interplay of sample size, censoring, and model misspecification. We present a case study using real data from colon cancer patients in England. This case study illustrates how a spatial model can be used to identify geographical areas with low cancer survival, as well as how to summarize such a model through marginal survival quantities and spatial effects.

Possivelmente relacionada à neurossífilis e também considerada maligna por Karanfilian e cols., a sífilis ocular manifesta-se sob espectro clínico variado. Embora as uveítes e panuveitis pareçam ser as manifestações oculares mais frequentes da sífilis, granuloma de íris, retinite, corioretinite, vasculite, neurite óptica e descolamento de retina também são descritos. Neste contexto, relatamos o caso de uma mulher, 71 anos, portadora de síndrome metabólica bem controlada, submetida à facectomia do olho direito. Ao final do desmame do corticoide oftálmico, passou a apresentar dor, hiperemia e perda da acuidade visual. O quadro repetiu-se após 2 novos ciclos de corticoide tópico, sempre ao final do desmame, ocasião em que foi identificada uveíte intermediária bilateral, segundo classificação SUN 2021, e confirmada por angiografia fluoresceínica de grande angular, que evidenciou vasculite periférica com áreas de atrofia epitelial e papilite bilateral. Após screening sorológico e inflamatório, apenas o teste treponêmico foi positivo, com VDRL negativo. Como nunca havia tratado para sífilis, foi prescrito ceftriaxona 2 g/dia por via intravenosa durante 14 dias. Após o tratamento, evoluiu com melhora, prosseguindo desmame do corticoide, desta vez sem intercorrências. Foi então submetida a nova angiografia de controle que confirmou a remissão do quadro. Segundo o boletim epidemiológico brasileiro, embora não seja a faixa etária mais acometida, a incidência de sífilis entre > 50 anos superou 37 mil (17,4%) casos em 2022, não podendo ser negligenciada nesta faixa etária. Da mesma forma, manifestações clínicas supostamente raras também se tornam importantes em cenários hiperendêmicos, remetendo à sífilis seu antigo título de “imitadora de doenças”, o que torna o diagnóstico mais complexo e faz dos marcadores sorológicos ferramentas essenciais. Contudo, o VDRL nem sempre é positivo quando a doença está em atividade. Apesar de uma coorte de 265 pacientes com neurossífilis não ter encontrado um único paciente com VDRL negativo, nosso trabalho mostra que isso não se aplica à sífilis ocular, corroborando a experiência do grupo SUN, que recomenda priorização de testes não-treponêmicos para diagnóstico diferencial da sífilis nas uveítes intermediárias. Nosso trabalho também mostra experiência satisfatória no tratamento com ceftriaxona venosa para sífilis ocular, corroborando os achados de efetividade encontrados por Gu e cols., 2024. Palavras-chave: Sífilis, Uveíte, Idoso, VDRL negativo, Ceftriaxona. Conflitos de interesse: Os autores declaram não houver potencial conflitos de interesse para este trabalho.

Introdução/objetivos: Staphylococcus lugdunensis é um estafilococo coagulase negativo (ECN) anteriormente frequentemente identificado incorretamente como S. aureus. O uso rotineiro do MALDI-TOF MS no diagnóstico permitiu a identificação correta desse patógeno em anos recentes. Apesar de não ser um agente etiológico comum da endocardite infecciosa (EI), é reconhecido por sua apresentação clínica agressiva, semelhante ao S.aureus. A atualização dos critérios pela Duke-ISCVID passou a considerar S. lugdunensis como critério maior de EI. Nosso objetivo é apresentar uma série de casos de EI por S.lugdunensis (EISL) identificados em três centros brasileiros. Métodos: Casos definitivos de IE de acordo com os critérios modificados de Duke incluídos prospectivamente com análise post hoc. Resultados foram apresentados como frequências e médias ± desvio padrão. Resultados: Em nossa coorte prospectiva de EI em adultos seguidos em dois centros de referência para cirurgia cardíaca, SLIE representou 6/1165 (0,5%) dos casos de EI, e por 6/128 (4,7%) casos de EI por ECN. Como comparação, EI por S.aureus representou 140/1165 (12%). Paciente número 7 foi seguido em um terceiro centro. Idade média dos pacientes foi de 48.3 ± 25.9 anos; EI adquirida na comunidade ocorreu em 4 casos, EI associada a assistência à saúde não-nosocomial em 2, ambas relacionadas a hemodiálise, e EI hospitalar em 1. Predisposições a EI descritas foram: doença cardíaca congênita (3), valvopatia reumática (1) e esclerose valvar (1). Todos os pacientes apresentaram febre e valores elevados de proteína C-reativa; todos, com exceção de um paciente tiveram EI de válvulas esquerdas. Três pacientes tinham biopróteses e dois apresentaram EI concomitante de válvulas aórtica e mitral. Vegetações foram identificadas em 6/7 (86%), e a média do tamanho do maior diâmetro da vegetação foi de 12.9 ± 7.9mm. Embolização sistêmica ocorreu em 5/7 (71%) dos pacientes, bacteremia persistente e insuficiência cardíaca ocorreram em 3/7 (43%) cada. Foram submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca 5/7 (71%) pacientes e a mortalidade intra-hospitalar foi de 1/7 (14%). Conclusão: Esses são os primeiros relatos de casos de EISL no Brasil ao nosso conhecimento. EISL apresentou-se com curso agressivo, com múltiplas embolizações. Válvulas protéticas foram frequentemente envolvidas, possivelmente devido a viés de referenciamento. É notável que dois pacientes tiveram EI associado a hemodiálise, o que tem sido descrito na literatura recente. Palavras-chave: Endocardite Infecciosa, Lugdunensis, Estafilococos coagulase-negativo, Embolização, Hemodiálise. Conflitos de interesse: Não houve conflitos de interesse. Ética e financiamentos: Não há conflito de interesse

Sporotrichosis is a fungal anthropozoonosis that has become a major public health problem in tropical countries. With that in mind, this study analyzed the relationship between this disease and demographic, socioeconomic and public health issues in Belém, State of Pará, Brazil, from 2020 to 2022. This ecological and cross-sectional study used data from the Belém Zoonosis Control Center, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and the Health Ministry. Descriptive and spatial analyses were performed employing significance statistical, kernel, buffer and Moran techniques. One hundred sporotrichosis cases in cats and 49 in humans were analyzed. The results showed that the individuals most affected were women (61.22 %), adults (87.76 %), with the cutaneous form (95.92 %), diagnosed histopathologically (38.78 %), still undergoing treatment (46.94 %) and that the form of contagion was through cat scratches or bites (73.47 %). The profile also showed quantitative significance of ignored data related to treatment (65.31 %) and cat presence at home (63.27 %). The disease had a non-homogeneous distribution with very high densities in Campina de Icoaraci, Águas Negras and Parque Guajará. Those neighborhoods presented a very low Living Conditions Index and precarious services and health centers. The spatial dependence between the environmental and socioeconomic studied variables evidenced the establishment of an active transmission circuit for sporotrichosis in peripheral areas of the city, related to health inequalities with an underlying possible epidemiological silence, suggesting the need for expanding One Health public policies, aiming the sustainable development.

PURPOSESurvival from esophageal cancer (EC) is poor, partly reflecting the delay in diagnosis. To inform the potential measures for downstaging the disease, we estimated diagnosis delay, that is, the length of interval from symptom-to-diagnosis (STD), and investigated its correlates among patients with EC in a high-risk resource-limited rural area in China.METHODSPatients newly diagnosed with EC (N = 411) were recruited in a secondary hospital in Henan province in China between August 1, 2018, and October 21, 2020. A face-to-face structured questionnaire was used to collect patient-level and health-seeking data from patients and/or proxies. Association between the length of STD interval and stage at diagnosis was examined using logistic regression. Correlates of the length of the STD interval were identified using negative binomial regression.RESULTSThe median STD interval was 61 (IQR, 24-155) days, with the time from symptom onset to first health care contact representing 90.1% (IQR, 7.8%-100%) of its length. The odds of being diagnosed at stages III-IV increased by 3% (age- and sex-adjusted odds ratio, 1.03 [95% CI, 0.99 to 1.08]) for every 2-month increase in the STD interval. Higher awareness of EC risk factors was associated with shorter STD intervals (incidence rate ratio [95% CI] for awareness score ≥2 v ≤0: 0.65 [0.46 to 0.93]), whereas patients who first visited secondary or tertiary/cancer hospitals had much longer STD intervals than those who first visited a primary health care facility (1.69 [1.19 to 2.40]; 2.22 [1.24 to 3.97]).CONCLUSIONThe median length of the STD interval was 2 months, but with considerable interindividual variability. Improving EC awareness, coupled with effective referral pathways, may promote timely diagnosis of this disease.

Nursing ,RT1-120 - Abstract
Introduction Nurses are continually faced with multiple demands to make decisions in their clinical practice. The Nursing Decision-Making Instrument (NDMI) assesses nurses’ decision-making styles during the several stages of this process. Objectives To adapt the NDMI into European Portuguese and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version in a population of Portuguese nurses. Methods Descriptive study design was used to examine psychometric properties of NDMI. Nonprobability convenience sample of 339 Portuguese direct-care nurses. Data were collected using a questionnaire comprising sociodemographic and professional data and the NDMI–Portuguese version (NDMI-PT). An exploratory factor analysis (EFA; n = 125) and a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA; n = 214) were carried out using IBM SPSS (v. 24) and AMOS (v. 22). Results The EFA revealed a structure of four latent factors, which represent the reorganized stages of the decision-making process. The CFA found a good overall fit of the model (χ 2 /df = 2.13; comparative fit index [CFI] = 0.91; goodness of fit index [GFI] = 0.82; Tucker-Lewis Index [TLI] = 0.90; root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] = 0.07; maximum-likelihood expected cross-validation index [MECVI] = 3.13). The psychometric analysis of the theoretical structure revealed that the four factors reflect the decision-making stages and have a better overall fit than the empirical structure (χ 2 /df = 1.82; CFI = 0.94; GFI = 0.86; TLI = 0.93; RMSEA = 0.06; MECVI = 2.55). The analysis of the construct reliability of the NDMI-PT revealed that the overall internal consistency was excellent ( α =0.96). Conclusions This study revealed that the empirical and theoretical structures were appropriate and valid for the sample under analysis. The NDMI-PT is a reliable and valid tool for assessing nurses’ decision-making styles. Studies should be conducted to gain further insight into the robustness of this validated tool.

Linalool-rich Rosewood oil (Aniba rosaeodora Ducke) is a natural compound widely used in perfumery industry. Evidence suggests that linalool exerts antidepressant and anxiolytic effects. Conversely, ethanol binge drinking (i.e., intermittent and episodic consumption) during adolescence elicits neurobehavioral alterations associated with brain damage. Here, we investigated whether linalool-rich Rosewood oil administration can improve the emotional and molecular impairments associated with ethanol binge-like exposure during adolescence in female rats. Rosewood oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and posteriorly analyzed. Adolescent female Wistar rats received four-cycles of ethanol binge-like pattern (3 g/kg/day, 3 days on/4 days off) and daily Rosewood oil (35 mg/kg, intranasally) for 28 days. Twenty-four hours after treatments, it was evaluated the impact of ethanol exposure and Rosewood oil treatment on the putative emotional impairments assessed on the splash and forced swimming tests, as well as the levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), S100B, oxidative parameters, and inflammatory cytokines in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Results indicated that Rosewood oil intranasal administration mitigated emotional impairments induced by ethanol exposure accompanied by a marked increase in BDNF, S100B, glutathione (GSH), and antioxidant activity equivalent to Trolox (TEAC) levels in brain areas. Rosewood oil treatment also prevented the ethanol-induced increase of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), and neurofilament light chain (NFL) levels. These findings provide the first evidence that Rosewood oil intranasal administration exerts protective effects against emotional and molecular impairments associated with adolescent ethanol binge-like exposure, possibly due to linalool actions triggering neurotrophic factors, rebalancing antioxidant status, and attenuating proinflammatory process.
