Summary: This study compared surgical and audiological outcomes of type I tympanoplasty using nasal mucosa and temporal fascia grafts. The results showed no significant difference in surgical success rate and hearing gain between the two graft types.

Summary: The measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in diabetic patients undergoing hemodialysis may have limitations, while blood glucose, glycated albumin (AG), and labile glycated hemoglobin (LHbA1c) may more accurately reflect glycemic control.

Summary: This work demonstrates the potential and application of macro elemental mapping by XRF scanning in the forensic investigation of artworks. The images obtained through MA-XRF scanning provide information about the distribution of elements related to the pigments used in the artworks. Analyzing these images allows for insights into the process of creating the artwork and its conservation and restoration history.

Summary: Generally, the study of state architecture has focused on analyzing the construction in centers of power, but this research examines the construction of state architectures in peripheral areas. Using an ethnographic and historical study, this paper analyzes the evolution of state architectures in the Puna de Atacama region in Argentina since the early 20th century. The research aims to understand architectural production from both the state perspective and local perspectives, considering the various agencies involved over time. The study focuses on a school in Coranzuli, Jujuy province, as a case study, exploring the ways of architectural production and the material characteristics of state architecture, which challenge the notion of hegemony and emphasize the role of local players.

Summary: New evidence of putative Unenlagiinae dinosaurs has been found in the Sao Luis-Grajau Basin in Maranhao, Brazil, expanding their chronological and geographical distributions.

Summary: Monitoring the viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater can predict the increase in COVID-19 cases in advance and serve as an early warning system. Wastewater-based epidemiology, which includes symptomatic, pre-symptomatic, and asymptomatic individuals, provides valuable data to contain the spread of the virus.
