The students’ responses on integrating online corpus and online dictionary to expand English vocabulary for tourism

Vocabulary is considered as the most essential part for students in English learning including those who are learning English for Tourism . The reason behind this is that nothing can be conveyed both in written or spoken language without vocabulary. Some researchers attempted to apply some strategies and approaches to assist the students in gaining vocabulary mastery. One of the ways is by using a corpus-based approach. However, to understand the corpus data need huge effort if the students have a lack of vocabulary due to the complexity of the language used. For that reason, the use of the online dictionary is required that eases the students to seek the meaning of unfamiliar words in the corpus. The researcher aims to know the students’ responses on integrating online corpus and dictionary to expand English vocabulary for tourism after conducting experimental research to the fourth semester of hospitality students in 8 meetings. In the treatments given, the researcher only focused on 100 words which were considered as unfamiliar words selected from articles in tourism fields. The questionnaires were distributed to recognize what they perceived after the integration of online corpus and the online dictionary. The result showed that the students responded positively to the use of the online dictionary while learning vocabulary through online corpus as the students could understand the corpus data presented better than without the use of online dictionary and they could broaden their vocabulary.
The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on emergency surgery: a Greek emergency department experience

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a global health problem. COVID-19 is a highly infectious and multifaceted disease, and already millions of people have been infected worldwide [1]. According to the literature, the COVID-19 pandemic caused a major reduction of emergency surgical operations as well as overall admissions to emergency departments because of the widespread hospital fear and anxiety experienced by most patients during the peak of this outbreak [2]. We report herein our experience from a tertiary General University Hospital in Greece, covering a population of approximately 1.5 million people. There is no doubt that the causes of the sharp reduction of emergency surgical cases during the COVID-19 pandemic are multi-factorial, reflecting a dangerous situation with serious consequences for public health. In our correspondence, we report the number of operations we have performed, comparing periods before and after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic (Table I). According to the results of our study, we did not observe a statistically significant difference between the total numbers of patients admitted for acute conditions between the 2 examined periods. However, our data show that hospital stay, as well as the operation duration of patients in the COVID era, has increased, which is a fact that reflects the severity of the clinical presentation of these patients. Patients in the COVID era presented to the hospital with delayed onset of symptoms, in comparison with those admitted before the COVID pandemic, due to their anxiety and fear of being infected with the coronavirus.
Public health without water? Emergency water supply and minimum supply standards of hospitals in high-income countries using the example of Germany and Austria

The drinking water supply is a core element of national regulations for normal and emergency supply as well as coping with crisis events Particularly with regard to the interdependence of critical infrastructures means that water supply failures can have far-reaching consequences and endanger the safety of a society, e g , by impairing hospital operations In case of an emergency in the drinking water infrastructure, minimum supply standards, e g , for patients in hospitals, become important for emergency management during crisis situations However, wider recognition of this issue is still lacking, particularly in countries facing comparably minor water supply disruptions Several international agencies provide guideline values for minimum water supply standards for hospitals in case of a disaster Acknowledging these minimum standards were developed for humanitarian assistance or civil protection, it remains to be analyzed whether these standards apply to disaster management in countries with high water and healthcare supply standards Based on a literature review of scientific publications and humanitarian guidelines, as well as policies from selected countries, current processes, contents, and shortcomings of emergency water supply planning are assessed To close the identified gaps, this paper indicates potential improvements for emergency water supply planning in general as well as for supply of hospitals and identifies future fields of research
Rates of Prophylaxis Among Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia Cases Attributable to High-dose Steroid Therapy

Supplemental digital content is available in the text. Background The incidence of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) among patients on high-dose steroid therapy is not well established, and few guidelines exist to help guide decisions regarding prophylaxis. We assessed provider prescribing practices regarding pneumocystis prophylaxis and conducted a retrospective chart review of 306 PJP cases at a tertiary care center to identify preventable cases and target interventions to reduce harm. Methods We surveyed providers regarding their threshold to initiate PJP prophylaxis among patients receiving steroid therapy. Subsequently, all encounters with a positive PJP PCR from sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage from June 2012 to November 2018 were reviewed for signs and symptoms, radiographic imaging, laboratory tests, and expert consultation consistent with a clinical diagnosis of PJP. Cases were reviewed for steroid exposure within 3 months before diagnosis to identify at-risk populations. We defined high dose steroids as prednisone 20 mg or higher for a period greater than 4 weeks. Results Most survey respondents used their own clinical judgment in place of published guidelines (65%), though the majority used prednisone 20 mg as their threshold to prescribe PJP prophylaxis. Of 214 encounters with a clinical diagnosis of PJP, 65 (30%) cases were considered potentially preventable as they received high-dose steroid therapy without PJP prophylaxis. Of these 65 cases, 13 deaths occurred with PJP or its complications as a cause of death. We recommend consideration of prophylaxis in all patients on prednisone 20 mg or higher for greater than 4 weeks, especially if on concomitant immunosuppression.

Mixed Convection in Pipe and Duct Flows With Strong Magnetic Fields

An imposed strong magnetic field suppresses turbulence and profoundly changes the nature of the flow of an electrically conducting fluid. We consider this effect for the case of mixed convection flows in pipes and ducts, in which unique regimes characterized by extreme temperature gradients and high-amplitude fluctuations (the so-called magnetoconvective fluctuations) have been recently discovered. The configuration is directly relevant to the design of the liquid-metal components of future nuclear fusion reactors. This review presents the general picture of the flow transformation emerging from the recent studies, illustrates the key known facts, and outlines the remaining open questions. Implications for fusion reactor technology and novel experimental and numerical methods are also discussed.
Perempuan Pencari Nafkah Selama Pandemi Covid-19

The perception of women as the number two role in society continues to this day. This knowledge has an impact on women's inferiority and subordination. In addition, the conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic have increased the workload for women at home. The workload for women has increased threefold, including earning a living in it. The woman breadwinner in Kampung Kue Rungkut Lor II experienced this during the pandemic. This article uses qualitative research methods and a phenomenological approach, in order to obtain data on the quality of life in the Kampung Kue Rungkut Lor II community. The purpose of this study was to determine descriptively the condition of women breadwinners during the pandemic. As a result, the “Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar” (PSBB) affected the economic conditions in the Kampung Kue Rungkut Lor II community, and women also experienced three times more workload than men at home. The pandemic has actually added to the exploitation and oppression of women in the Kampung Kue Rungkut Lor II community. Therefore, it is necessary to have further research on the quality of life of women breadwinners in Kampung Kue Rungkut Lor II before the pandemic to find out the differences in the quality of life of women breadwinners in the same location.
Co-occurrences among interrogation tactics in actual criminal investigations

ABSTRACT During police interrogations, trained investigators may use different tactics to elicit information from criminal suspects. Through this exploratory research, we investigated which tactics were used most frequently by investigators in actual police interrogations and how they used tactics in combination. We coded 50 videotaped interrogations recorded in North America for 25 unique tactics as they were used by investigators. We divided each interrogation into 3-minute time blocks, counted the tactics that were used within each time block, and conducted a principal component analysis on those frequencies. We expected our analyses to reveal patterns of tactic use but had no a priori hypotheses about how investigators would combine and sequence interrogation tactics. Presenting evidence was the most common tactic, and investigators used minimization more than maximization tactics. The tactics grouped into seven components, indicating that they had been used by investigators within the same time blocks. Post hoc examination of those components revealed that tactics used in temporal proximity shared logical connections and segued into one another to form multifaceted persuasive messages. For instance, making accusations and increasing suspects’ guilt were often employed before offering justifications. This research provides insight into how interrogation tactics relate to one another during police interrogations.
How employees react to unsolicited and solicited advice in the workplace: Implications for using advice, learning, and performance.

Employees are often reluctant to ask for advice, despite its potential benefits. Giving employees unsolicited advice may be a way to realize the benefits of advice without relying on them to ask for it. However, for these benefits to surface, it is critical to understand how employees react to unsolicited and solicited advice. Here, we suggest that recipients are likely to attribute self-serving motives to those providing unsolicited advice and prosocial motives to those providing solicited advice. These motives shape the extent to which recipients use advice, learn from it, and perform better as a result of receiving it. In an organizational network study of unsolicited and solicited advice ties (Study 1), an experience-sampling study of daily episodes of receiving unsolicited and solicited advice across two workweeks (Study 2), and an experiment where we manipulated advice solicitation and whether the advisor was a friend or a coworker (Study 3), we found general support for our model. Moderation analyses revealed that recipient reactions were not affected by friendship with the advisor, the number of overlapping advice ties between the advisor and recipient, or the position of the advisor in the social network. By showing how perceptions of the advisor's motive can explain variability in the impact of unsolicited and solicited advice on recipients, this research clarifies the recipient reactions that advisors must navigate if their advice is to have impact at work.

Coupled influence of flow velocity and water temperature on grass carp swimming behaviour and gonad development

Reproductive migration is an essential phase in the life of many fish. During this process, swimming behaviour and gonad development are key factors related to the migration quality, and both factors are strongly influenced by water temperature and flow velocity. Many studies have explored the separate effects of these variables on fish swimming ability or gonad development, but researchers have seldom investigated the simultaneous effects of low flow velocity and water temperature on the fish swimming behaviour and gonad development. To provide that knowledge, we conducted laboratory experiments that explored the coupled effects of low water temperature and flow on warm water fish swimming behaviour and gonad development. At five temperatures (16, 18, 20, 22, and 24°C), we observed the movement of migratory warmwater grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) at seven flow velocities (0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.40, and 0.45 m/s), then explored their gonad development by comparing the level of plasma 17β‐estradiol and testosterone in fish travelling through a simulated fish way (flow stimulation) and in a fish tank (no flow stimulation). We used Bayesian networks to explore the acceptable hydrological condition for fish migration. We found that the minimum flow velocity for acceptable migration quality is a function of the water temperature, and that increasing water temperature improves fish movement success and increases the movement distance, especially at a low flow velocity. In addition, increasing water temperature (between 16 and 24°C in this experiment design) can enhance the effect of flow stimulation on gonad development. Overall, our results can broaden the understanding of reducing water temperature and flow velocity in fish swimming behaviour and gonad development, provide basic data to support hydrological process controls and the development of measures to protect fish migration.
Access and dissemination of information and emerging media convergence in the Democratic Republic of Congo

ABSTRACT We explore practical implications of emerging media convergence for journalists and citizens regarding access to information in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Using data from 34, semi-structured, face-to-face interviews, our analysis produces four key findings: (1) individuals and community radio journalists engage with media convergence in DRC; (2) media convergence offers solutions for evading government oversight and regulation; (3) radio journalists are committed to local and international news rather than national, political news and (4) outside actors, such as the Catholic Church and government, exert pressure on radio journalists. Our findings suggest there is growing engagement with convergence culture in Eastern DRC but radio remains a primary and invaluable source of news relating to politics, health, entertainment, and regional conflict. Additionally, emerging participatory culture suggests that citizens are ready for more transparent and representative news media – they need only be connected to a reliable and steady source of information.
Enhanced magnetic Lorentz force second harmonic generation originating from a double-resonances plasmonic metasurface

Artificial second harmonic generation (SHG) based on magnetic Lorentz force has attracted abundant attention from researchers because of the initial breakthrough in physics. It is still a challenging task to boost this type of SHG emission due to the relative lower efficiency and the specific polarization of artificial SHG. Here, we demonstrate an effective way to enhance the magnetic Lorentz force-based SHG in a double-resonances plasmonic metasurface. The design of our method is twofold: firstly, a dark resonance at fundamental frequency and a bright resonance at second harmonic frequency (SHF); secondly, polarization consistency between the bright resonance and the SHF signal. The results demonstrate that the SHF conversion efficiency of this mode-matching plasmonic metasurface can reach 1.4 × 10−9, which is enhanced by a factor of 5.17 compared to the case without the mode-matching mechanism. This high efficiency and free design of a plasmonic metasurface offer a promising way for the applications of nonlinear optics.
Mean and variance statistic for image processing on FPGA

ABSTRACT Statistical formula processing an image data is commonly used in image processing. In software processing this formula and accessing data stored in memory is an easy task, but in hardware implementation, it is more difficult task due to many of constraints. This article presents hardware implementation of mean & variance statistic formula in effective and efficient way using FGPA Device. The design of circuit for both formulas proposed in this article need only two additions component (in two accumulators) and two shift-right-registers will be used for divisor circuits, one subtractor and one multiplier. In the experiment, processing an image size 8x8 pixels need 64 clocks cycle to conclude the mean & variance calculations. More than 1024 additions component is needed in some design so this design is more efficient.
Determination of Minerals and Trace Elements in Various Tea by ICP-AES

It is known that some minerals and trace elements,such as K,Ca,Mg,Mn,P,Zn,Fe and Pb are the necessary elements in human body.The lack of these elements can cause various diseases.Because tea contains all kinds of minerals and trace elements,drinking tea is healthy for people.In order to contrast tea of different sort,grade and producing area,the minerals and trace elements in the tea have been determined using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP AES) technique. The experimental results show that the measuring method is simple, reliable and accurate.Furthermore,it has been seen from the results that the content of the minerals and trace elements in tea is only dependent on the sort of the tea,which indeed does not connect directly with the grade of the tea.The content of the elements dissolved in water is determined by the existing form of the elements in tea.The study will be valuable in the appraisal of the minerals and trace elements in various tea,and be helpful for people who like drinking tea.
National temporal variation in major trauma in England, Wales and Northern Ireland

Introduction Trauma is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, but little is known of the temporal variation in major trauma across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Proper workforce and infrastructure planning requires identification of the caseload burden and its temporal variation. Materials and Methods The Trauma Audit Research Network (TARN) database for admissions attending Major Trauma Centres (MTCs) between 1st April 2011 and 31st March 2018 was analysed. TARN records data on all trauma patients admitted to hospital who are alive at the time of admission to hospital. Major trauma was classified as an Injury Severity Score (ISS) >15. Results A total of 158,440 cases were analysed. Case ascertainment was over 95% for 2013 onwards. There was a statistically significant variation in caseload by year (p < 0.0001), times of admissions (p < 0.0001), caseload admitted during weekends vs weekdays, 53% vs 47% (p < 0.0001), caseload by season with most patients admitted during summer (p < 0.0001). The ISS varied by time of admission with most patients admitted between 1800 and 0559 (p < 0.0001), weekend vs weekday with more severely injured patients admitted during the weekend (p < 0.0001) and by season p < 0.0001). Discussion and Conclusion: There is a significant national temporal variation in major trauma workload. The reasons are complex and there are multiple theories and confounding factors to explain it. This is the largest dataset for hospitals submitting to TARN which can help guide workforce and resource allocation to further improve trauma outcomes.
Investigating the Determinants and Barriers of Purchase Intention of Innovative New Products

The purpose of this study was to examine the purchase intention of innovative new product (e.g., Galaxy Fold) by integrating behavioral reasoning theory (BRT) to the theory of reasoned action (TRA) and theory of planned behavior (TPB) to test the relative influence of reasons for and reasons against adoption on purchase attitude and purchase intention of Korean consumers. A quantitative research method via an online survey was conducted to test the proposed hypotheses. The sample of the study was 242 Korean consumers who participated in the online survey. Structural equation modeling was conducted by using AMOS 21.0 to test the proposed relationships. The findings showed that value for changes positively related to the reasons for adoption and negatively related to reasons against adoption. Reasons for adoption (e.g., relative advantage, compatibility, simplicity) have a significant positive effect on the purchase attitude, and reasons against adoption (e.g., price barrier, performance barrier, usage barrier) have a significant negative effect on the purchase attitude. Finally, purchase attitude has a significant positive relationship to the purchase intention of innovative new product. The findings of this study offer significant theoretical and managerial contributions in the context of sustainable innovative new product development.
