A combination of a detailed morphological assessment and our molecular phylogeny conclusively identified the Brazilian population as a new species, described here as Emeritaalmeidai Mantelatto & Balbino, sp. Here's a list of ten sentences, each a novel and structurally different rewording of the input. The scientific community now acknowledges twelve species in the genus Emerita, with five species inhabiting the western Atlantic, five the Indo-Pacific, and two the eastern Pacific.
Mesophotic and deep-sea ecosystems worldwide feature a diverse and abundant sponge population. In the northwestern Gulf of Mexico's Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, sponge populations flourish amidst the diverse biological and geological habitats found at depths between 16 and over 200 meters, encompassing coral reefs, algal nodules, coralline algae reefs, mesophotic reefs, patch reefs, scarps, ridges, soft substrates, and rocky outcrops. Through direct sampling and in-situ photographic records of common sponge species in the region, a synoptic guide is created and presented. Sixty species of Demospongiae (spanning 14 orders) are included among the 64 total species. Two Hexactinellida (one order) and two Homoscleromorpha (one order) complete this inventory. Thirty-four taxa were definitively identified to the species level, and 13 taxa displayed an affinity to known species, though not being identical to them. Despite comprehensive effort, fifteen taxonomic entities could only be characterized to genus level; species identification remains uncertain (incertae sedis), potentially revealing novel species or modifications of already described species. Just a family designation was bestowed upon one specimen. This study broadens the scope of geographic or mesophotic data for eleven known species, and potentially includes several undescribed species. The contribution of this research to our understanding of the sponge biodiversity in the Gulf of Mexico is notable, and its importance to scientists and resource managers is clearly demonstrated.

Lord Howe Island, a location in Australia, has yielded a new species of Psammoecus, designated as Psammoecus lordhowensis sp. nov. The island is almost certainly the only place where this brachypterous species can be found. This species is readily identifiable due to its rounded and convex body, small eyes, well-developed temples, the absence of lateral pronotal teeth, and a strongly reduced hind wing.

The reality of Himalayan long-eared bats, Plecotushomochrous (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae), inhabiting China was previously unverified. Within the Maoershan National Nature Reserve, Guangxi, China, this study focused on the examination of four bats, captured from two sites using harp traps. These bats' auricles, each with a remarkable tragus, are notably long and wide. Each auricle possesses a length comparable to a forearm's. Ventral fur hairs originate from a dark base, their tips intermingled with shades of grey and yellow; the dorsal fur hairs originate in the same dark base, their tips exhibiting a rich brown hue. The thumbs exhibit a remarkable brevity. A concavity is present within the cranium's anterior dorsal region. Cyt b gene sequencing, in conjunction with morphological characteristics, led to the identification of the bats as *P. homochrous*, substantiating the presence of Himalayan long-eared bats within the confines of China.

Proton beam therapy (PBT) will be investigated to determine its efficacy in treating extrahepatic biliary tract cancer (EBC).
A comprehensive analysis was performed on the Proton-Net database, which contained prospective patient data for all individuals treated with PBT at Japanese proton centers from May 2016 to June 2019. The study's primary focus was on overall survival, with local control, progression-free survival, and toxicity as the ancillary, measurable outcomes.
Ninety-three patients with unresectable/recurrent early breast cancer (EBC) received a prescribed PBT dose of 675 Gy (RBE), a range of 50–726 Gy, delivered in 25 (22 to 30) daily fractions. With a median follow-up spanning 163 months, the median survival time was determined to be 201 months, yielding a 2-year overall survival of 378%. For a two-year timeframe, the respective PFS and LC rates were 206% and 665%. Poor liver function (Child-Pugh B, C), a tumor-digestive tract proximity of less than 2 cm, and a tumor exceeding 2 cm in size were found to be associated with poorer overall survival (OS). Grade 3 acute and late adverse events, linked to PBT, affected 54% and 43% of patients, respectively, with one late gastrointestinal complication (duodenal ulcer).
Amongst EBC studies, this prospective PBT series stands out as the largest, showing favorable outcomes with tolerable toxicity.
The prospective PBT dataset for EBC is exceptionally large, exhibiting beneficial results within an acceptable toxicity profile.
This paper details the findings of Asfaw et al. [1], studying the eye movements of 15 glaucoma patients, each characterized by a significant, asymmetrical visual field loss, wherein one eye exhibited a more profound deficit. This facilitates comparisons between the superior and inferior eyes within each subject, thus controlling for variations in individual patient characteristics. A clinical diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma (OAG) was made for each patient. An EyeLink 1000 remote eye tracker recorded eye movements at 1000 Hz during a free-viewing task, wherein participants viewed nature images with one eye closed (and the other eye open). Data from eye-tracking, both raw and processed, are available. Along with this, clinical data encompassing visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and visual field parameters, and demographic details including age and gender, are provided.
To ascertain junior high school (JHS) student learning attitudes toward home-based education (HBE), this dataset was gathered. A survey, employing a descriptive approach and proportional stratified random sampling, was conducted to gather data from 398 junior high school students, representing a total population of 75,542, enrolled in 42 public secondary schools of Zamboanga City Division during the 2020-2021 school year. Data gathering was undertaken from August 2021 to September 2021, a period marked by lockdown conditions. Consequently, data collection was conducted via an integrated online and offline methodology, employing a pre-approved, validated instrument. Of the 398 sampled individuals, 383 eligible JHS students who consented completed the survey, resulting in a 96.23% response rate. This included 274 (71.54%) online responses and 109 (28.46%) offline responses. Two problems were investigated concerning the learning attitudes of junior high school students. The first aimed to determine learning attitudes by assessing Nature, Anxiety, Expectations, and Openness to Learning. The second aimed to determine if any significant differences existed between these attitudes across independent variables, including gender, grade level, age, and socioeconomic status. biomass additives The data collection and subsequent analysis incorporated MANOVA, mean, and standard deviation. MANOVA was preceded by the application of data assumptions, and the analysis of the data revealed a high overall learning attitude among junior high school students towards HBE; the analysis also demonstrated substantial variations in learning attitudes among students at different grade levels and ages regarding learning nature and anxiety, and within varying socioeconomic levels in terms of learning expectations.
