Performance criticality as a structural property of forensic expertise: Evidence from an institutional certification system

Ferley Ortiz Morales

Forensic expert certification relies on evaluation systems designed to assess professional performance under high technical, analytical, and probative demands. However, certification outcomes are often interpreted through aggregate indicators, such as approval rates or overall mean scores, which may obscure where perfo...

Toward a decolonial One Health: Findings from a participatory action research initiative with indigenous, Campesino, and Afro-descendant communities in the Amazon

Méndez-Paz, Fabian · Santandreu, Alain · Betancourt, Óscar · Burgos, Andrés · y 1 más

The One Health approach is central to addressing pandemic and planetary crises. However, its framework, predominantly shaped by perspectives from the Global North, has significant limitations with respect to equity and effectiveness in the Global South, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean. This article deve...

Cardiac MRI radiomics and texture analysis for differentiating the causes of left ventricular hypertrophy: a systematic review

Isaac Eli, Martínez Safar · Juan Pablo, De La Ossa Díaz · Daniel A, Martínez D · Catalina, Rendón-Garavito · y 4 más

Because the causes of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) share a thickened-wall phenotype yet demand divergent management, from transthyretin stabilization in cardiac amyloidosis (CA) to sudden-death prevention in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), identifying the cause is clinically decisive. Cardiac MRI radiomics and...

Gut microbiota and selected systemic biomarker profiling in dogs with distinct osteoarthritis phenotypes

Liceth Agudelo-Giraldo · Catalina López · Jorge U. Carmona

Osteoarthritis (OA) is increasingly recognized as a heterogeneous disorder involving metabolic and inflammatory alterations beyond the affected joint. This study evaluated gut microbiota composition and selected systemic biomarkers in client-owned dogs with distinct OA phenotypes. Fecal microbiota profiling was perform...

Histomorphological characterization of major tissues and organ systems in neotenic Ambystoma mexicanum

Juliana, Zapata-Cardona · Ana María, Lopez-Carvallo · Belfran, Carbonell-Medina

Ambystoma mexicanum has emerged as an important experimental model in regenerative biology due to its remarkable regenerative capacity and neotenic condition. Although histological descriptions of several organs have been previously reported, an integrative characterization of the tissues and organ systems of neotenic...

Revealing the structural signatures of plastic pollution: The taxonomy-inspired plastic litter indices

Nelson, Rangel-Buitrago · Alex, Paternina-Ramos · Lucio, Brabo · Francisco Jailton Silva, Filho · y 8 más

Coastal plastic pollution is routinely quantified using abundance- and mass-based metrics. These metrics are effective for trend detection, regulatory reporting and international comparison, but by design they describe the magnitude of contamination rather than its internal organisation, its commercial attribution, or...

High surface boron loading in N,B co-doped nanoporous carbons via mechanochemistry: electrochemical performance and counterintuitive aging in acidic electrolytes

Pinto-Burgos, Oscar · Castro-Gutiérrez, Jimena · Poon, Po Shan · Matos, Juan · y 5 más

Heteroatom doping represents a feasible strategy to enhance electrochemical performance of carbonbased electrodes. However, current synthesis routes rely on non-scalable methods, and resulting doped electrodes frequently exhibit poor long-term stability, limiting practical implementation. This study addresses both chal...

Accidental and intentional poisonings in Colombia (2015–2023): Social and territorial inequalities affecting public health

Ernesto E. Fuentes-Fabra · Melissa Saenz-Ruiz · Justiniano J. Arrázola Díaz

To analyze the epidemiological and spatial differences in accidental and intentional poisonings in Colombia between 2015 and 2023, with an emphasis on social and territorial inequalities.An observational, retrospective, and analytical study was conducted using records from the Public Health Surveillance System (Sivigil...
