This study employs computational fluid dynamics to evaluate how oil in a Buff Berea core can be displaced by brine when different coreholder heads are used. The Finite Volume Method (FVM) and commercial fluid dynamics software were used. The multiphase flow was simulated in the horizontal orientation and solved for various coreholder head layouts using the volume-of-fluid (VOF) numerical algorithm, which tracks the interface between phases. Moreover, relative permeability, capillary pressure, and gravitational effects were accounted for in the solution of the governing equations, thereby enabling a solid numerical approach. The homogeneity of the front flow was quantified using concepts from the variogram, a tool mainly used in geostatistical analysis. Findings indicate that, depending on the coreholder’s head layout, a more homogeneous front flow can be achieved. The simulations show oil production varying by up to 32%, indicating that the core head layout may play a key role in assessing petrophysical properties. Based on the results, the use of head geometries that promote a uniform displacement front is recommended, as they improve sweeping efficiency.

This article investigates whether Free Indirect Discourse (FID) can be analyzed as a covert form of mixed quotation. Building on formal accounts that treat FID as theselective integration of quoted and unquoted material (e.g., Maier 2015), we examine whether it satisfies the verbatim requirement typically associated with mixed quotation. In a pilot study, participants rated the acceptability of verbatim repetitions, synonyms, and lexical mismatches following short texts presented in FID, direct quotation, or a neutral control condition. Verbatim repetitions were consistently preferred across conditions, with no significant differences between presentation modes. These findings suggest that FID is compatible with direct quotation in preserving linguistic form despite lacking overt quotation markers. We interpret this as tentative support for the hypothesis that FID instantiates a covert quotation structure governed by semantic principles similar to those of mixed quotation. However, questions regarding the quotation-specific interpretation of this effect arise in the present design. Further research is needed to explore the generalizability and interpretive mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.

Madagascar is one of the countries with the highest burden of schistosomiasis worldwide. The release from the WHO of the new 2021–2030 neglected tropical disease (NTD) roadmap alongside with the schistosomiasis guidelines sets the ambitious goal of eliminating schistosomiasis as a public health problem worldwide. In Madagascar, implementation barriers exist. This paper has the objective of identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in order to build on their basis practices and policies that can help the country to align with the international global health agenda and reach the ambitious goal set by the WHO.  RESAMP; Madagascar; East Africa / Indian Ocean; Interdisciplinary Pilot Project; schistosomiasis; tropical diseases; agriculture and health; neglected and poverty-related diseases

FAIR LS ARK is a structured benchmark (FAIRsharing record, Gitbook documentation) for assessing the FAIR-enabling qualities of life science databases registered in FAIRsharing. It evaluates database-level characteristics, not individual datasets or other records contained within a database, and it uses curated FAIRsharing metadata together with linked governance artefacts as evidence. These characteristics have been chosen by evaluating and mapping a variety of these external governance frameworks for databases as well as the FAIRsharing schema; full details are available on our gitbook pages. This benchmark is intended for database managers, curators and others responsible for describing a database in FAIRsharing. It provides a common framework for interpreting FAIR in the context of database records, while allowing the same conceptual structure to be specialised for particular communities where needed. The benchmark records each metric as a transparent, citable component that can be reused by assessment tools.  The metrics used within this benchmark are registered with FAIRsharing and are suitable for any database registry storing life science database records. FAIRsharing-specific operationalisations are used as example implementations within the metric and described in more detail within this document. This document was created using a template found at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17901310. This template can be copied and used within any community to begin preparations for a FAIR benchmark specific to your needs.

ABSTRACT Background:Presbycusis, or age-related hearing loss, is one of the most common sensory impairments among older adults and is associated with impaired communication, social isolation, depression, and reduced quality of life (QoL). Early identification of hearing handicap is essential for timely intervention and rehabilitation to improve functional independence and overall well-being. Objectives:The primary objective of this study was to assess the impact of hearing loss on quality of life among elderly individuals using the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly Screening (HHIE-S) questionnaire. The secondary objective was todetermine the proportion of elderly individuals experiencing a perceived hearing handicap. Materials and Methods:A hospital-based cross-sectional observational study was conducted over a period of six months among 100 elderly individuals aged 60 years and above attending the ENT and Geriatric Outpatient Departments. Participants with severe cognitive impairment, recent ear surgery, or current hearing aid use were excluded. Data were collected using the validated Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly Screening (HHIE-S) questionnaire. HHIE-S scores were categorized as no handicap (0–8), mild-to-moderate handicap (10–24), and significant handicap (26–40). Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics, with a p-value of <0.05 considered statistically significant. Results:Among the 100 participants, 42% had no perceived hearing handicap, 34% had mild-to-moderate hearing handicap, and 24% had significant hearing handicap. The severity of hearing handicap increased with advancing age, with participants aged over 80 years demonstrating the highest mean HHIE-S scores. Hearing loss was associated with reduced social interaction, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life, indicating a substantial psychosocial impact among the elderly population. Conclusion:Hearing loss has a significant negative impact on the quality of life of elderly individuals, particularly affecting their social and emotional well-being. The HHIE-S questionnaire is an effective screening tool for identifying perceived hearing handicap in older adults. Routine screening, early audiological evaluation, and timely rehabilitation strategies are recommended to improve quality of life and promote healthy aging.Keywords:Presbycusis, Hearing loss, Qualityof life, Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly–Screening (HHIE-S), Elderly, Hearing handicap, Audiology, Geriatrics.
