Published: February 2024

In this study, the varieties of metaphorical language and their significance will be identified and analyzed in the lyrics of a few of Billie Eilish's songs. In this study, two theories were employed. The first is Leech's (1981) theory of meaning, which examines the meaning of figurative language, and the second is Knickerbocker and Reninger's (1974) theory of figurative language. This study employed a qualitative methodology. In this study, simile, metaphor, and hyperbole were discovered to be three types of figurative language employed in a few of Billie Eilish's songs. By listening to the song's lyrics, data was gathered. This research led to the discovery of six different forms of figurative language in song lyrics for the study. They consist of 2 items, or 33% similes, 3 items, or 50% metaphors, and 1 item, or 16% hyperbole. There were 13 items or 48% hyperbola, 4 items or 14% simile, 6 items or 22% metaphor, 2 items or 7% personification, and 1 item each of synecdoche and metonymy. Hyperbole, which accounts for 48% of all figures of speech in these songs, is the most prevalent variety. Two of the seven categories of meaning employed in the lyrics—connotative meaning and emotive meaning—are used to interpret the figurative language.

Mycosis fungoides – хистологични рискови фактори
Authors: Киндеков Иван
Published: February 2024

Кожните лимфоми са хетерогенна група лимфопролиферативни неоплазии. По определение, първичните кожни лимфоми са екстранодални лимфоми с кожно засягане и понякога системно засягане при поставяне на диагнозата. Диагностичните критерии са добре дефинирани, но понякога диференциалната диагноза е широка. Mycosis fungoides е хематологична неоплазия, произлизаща от зрели неопластични Т-лимфоцити, които имат предилекционно ангажиране на кожата. По правило лимфомът се характеризира с индолентен ход, като симптомите на заболяването могат да проявят продължително време между 2 и 10 години. Прогнозата за пациента се определя най-вече от стадия на заболяването при дебюта, възрастта, хистологично доказаната едроклетъчна трансформация, LDH, които са независими рискови фактори за лоша прогноза. Хистологичната диагностика е важна при отдиференцирането на кожния Т-клетъчен лимфом от други доброкачествени индолентни състояния.
Пароксизмална нощна хемоглобинурия – диагноза, клинична картина и нови терапевтични възможности
Authors: Белева Елина
Published: February 2024

Пароксизмалната нощна хемоглобинурия (ПНХ) е хронично мултисистемно, прогресивно и животозастрашаващо заболяване, което се характеризира с вътресъдова хемолиза, тромботични инциденти, тежки инфекции и костно-мозъчна недостатъчност. ПНХ е рядко заболяване с очаквана болестност по данни за Orphanet 2/100 000.

Парадигмата в лечението на ПНХ се променя с въвеждането на комплементна блокада посредством анти-С5 антитела и инхибитори на проксимални компоненти на комплемента. Блокадата на комплемента постига значима редукция на тромботичните усложнения, стабилно ниво на хемоглобин, контрол на хемолизата и подобряване качеството на живот при пациентите с ПНХ. Лечението с комплементни инхибитори подобрява свързаните с ПНХ органни усложнения като бъбречна недостатъчност и пулмонална хипертония.

В настоящия обзор са обобщени и представени актуални насоки за лечение на ПНХ, публикувани от международни и европейски национални дружества по хематология, както и са сравнени индикации за започване и преустановяване на терапия с анти-С5 инхибитори според ПНХ работни групи в редица европейски държави.

Published: February 2024

Гастроезофагеалната рефлуксна болест (ГЕРБ) се явява едно от най-честите заболявания не само в гастроентерологията, но и в медицината като цяло. Макар да протича с нисък морталитет, клиничните симптоми значително нарушават качеството на живот на засегнатите пациенти и ги откъсват от нормалната им среда. При една част от болните възникват хранопроводни и извънхранопроводни усложнения, като най-характерното усложнение е развитието на Баретов хранопровод (БХ). Пациентите с това усложнение имат над 30 пъти по-висок риск от развитие на аденокарцином на хранопровода. При една немалка част от тях се наблюдава и паралелно сформиране на редица други малигнени заболявания, които трайно инвалидизират пациентите и намаляват продължителността им на живот.

Представяме случай на 71-годишен пациент с хистологично верифицирани карцином на простатната жлеза, умеренодиференциран плоскоклетъчен карцином на бял дроб с метастази в супраклавикуларните и медиастинални лимфни възли, базоцелуларен карцином на ляво бедро, двустранни аденоми на надбъбречните жлези на фона на 5-кратни кръвоизливи от стомашна язва, ерозивен гастрит и изразена ГЕРБ, усложнена с преканцерозата на хранопровода и стомаха – БХ.

Published: February 2024

Dry-wet alternation has an essential effect on soil minerals' adsorption of dissolved organic matter. In this study, kaolin, illite, and hematite were subjected to 0, 1, 3, and 6 dry-wet alternation incubation tests, respectively, and the changes in the characterization of the three minerals were explored by using a BET specific surface area analyzer and an X-ray diffractometer. The effects of different dry-wet alternation treatments on the adsorption of tannic acid and glucose as the representatives of dissolved organic matter were investigated by isothermal and kinetic adsorption tests as well as by different model-fitting methods. The effects of different dry-wet alternation treatments on the adsorption of tannic acid and glucose by the three minerals were investigated by isothermal and kinetic adsorption tests and different model fitting methods. The results showed that alternating dry-wet treatment could change the three minerals' specific surface area and average pore diameter to different degrees. Still, the spacing of the crystal layers did not change significantly. The dry-wet alternation did not alter the adsorption process and tannic acid and glucose adsorption mode. Still, it affected the equilibrium adsorption amount to different degrees, which was illite>hematite>kaolin, and the intensity of the effect was mainly affected by the decrease of the specific surface area of the minerals, which was not related to the change of the average pore diameter and the spacing of the crystal layers.

The data on the nominal non-possessive declension system in the Western dialects of Tundra Nenets, represented in “Samoyedic Grammar” (“Samojedische Grammatik”) by archimandrite Veniamin Smirnov, are considered in the present article. “Samoyedic Grammar” is a handwritten archival manuscript of the 1st half of the 19th century from the collections of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg branch). The article consists of four sections. The first section provides general information about Tundra Nenets, with special attention paid to the distinctive features of the Western Nenets dialects. The second section provides general information about the “Samoyedic Grammar” (“Samojedische Grammatik”) written by archimandrite Veniamin, the history of its creation during the “Samoyedic mission” and its orthographic system. The third section is devoted to features of the nominal declension system of the Tundra Nenets literary language, types of nominal systems and grammatical nominal categories (number, case, possessivity, predestinativity); this section presents tables with the case/number non-possessive affixes in Tundra Nenets. The fourth section is the main part of this article: it presents tables with nominal non-possessive declension forms from the archimandrite Veniamin’s “Samoyedic Grammar”.

Published: February 2024

In the history of the development of writing in the Khanty language, different dialects successively replaced each other as the basis for the literary language. The initial variants of the written language were developed on the basis of the northern Obdorsk and Kazym dialects; however, in the 1940s-1950s the transition was made to the Middle Ob dialect, in which a large quantity of educational and fictional literature was translated and published. The present article analyzes the materials of the District Conference on the selection of the literary Khanty language, published in the newspaper «Ostyako-Vogulskaya PRAVDA» dated June 29, 1940, which substantiates the need to switch to the Middle Ob dialect. The contribution of P. K. Zhivotikov to the justification of the choice of a new dialect basis for the formation of a literary language is noted.

Published: February 2024

Riddles can be looked at as idiomatic expressions. The function of a riddle in the folklore of some Northern peoples of Russia is to pass on their worldview in teaching children, and riddles are used for such a purpose to the present day. We show that in the folklore of the Northern peoples, the riddle also has a sacral significance: the riddle’s text is a trial, and passing this trial confirms the person’s right to a reward and to achieve a higher status in the social hierarchy.
Recovering grammatical ellipses
Authors:   Independent Researcher, Tel-Aviv, Israel, Kobzareva Tatiana
Published: February 2024

The present article deals with the most frequently-occurring kinds of grammatical ellipsis encountered in Russian sentences. We discuss the grammatical conditions of ellipsis appearance — situations of potential iteration of words or phrases in the syntactic structure of the sentence. Such ellipses can be considered specific forms of anaphoric replacement. The analysis of the most important syntactic and morphological features of ellipsis — the absence of the noun in a noun phrase, predicate actants, or entire sentence fragments — shows how these anomalies can be used in the early stages of automatic analysis when searching for ellipses and their antecedents.
Ethnic language maintenance: The case of the Ural Maris
Authors:   The Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia, Kutsaeva Marina
Published: February 2024

This article presents linguistic biographies of several representatives of the Mari diaspora in the Moscow region, natives of the Sverdlovsk region who took part in the author’s sociolinguistic 2019-21 survey aimed at describing how an ethnic language functions within an internal diaspora. It is assumed that language use is due, among other things, to previous linguistic experience in the locality where one grew up. Thus, part of the survey questionnaire was devoted to language use in intra-family communication, preschool education, school education (language of instruction and language as school subject), and further education. The responses made it possible to establish which channels were used by respondents for learning Mari and Russian, as well as to identify the languages used for interacting with their neighbors in their home area. The data collected in the article is also offered as an attempt to describe the current Mari language situation in areas with a high concentration of Ural Maris in the Krasnoufimsky, Achitsky, Artinsky and Nizhneserginsky districts of the Sverdlovsk region. The author discusses Mari language use in the home and in the educational system. Some common language ideologies that underly family language policy and influence the choice of the language of intra-family interactions are described in detail. A separate section analyzes the dynamics of how the Mari language functions in education according to data obtained in interviews with teachers at local schools. The issues of Mari language-in-culture maintenance and its presence in religious rites are also explored. An important focus of the article is on preserving the ethnic identity of the Mari people residing in the diaspora that was formed in the 16-18th centuries.
Shughnani translation of Wilhelm Hauff’s fairy tale “Little Muck”
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia, Dodykhudoeva Leyli
Published: February 2024

This article presents the Shughnani translation of “Little Muck”, a fairy tale by the 19th century German writer Wilhelm Hauff. This is the story of a tiny man whose appearance causes others to make fun of him. When he comes into possession of a pair of magic shoes, Muck’s hopes of attaining happiness are close, but then envious people take the shoes away. With the help of some magic fruit, Muck gets his shoes back and punishes the offenders. In the 1930s, as part of the Soviet campaign to create alphabets for non-written languages of the Mountainous Badakhshan Autonomous Region, work began on an alphabet and writing system for the Shughnani language based on the Roman script. Based on this alphabet, primers, educational books, and translated literature were published in the Shughnani language. “Little Muсk” was translated into Shughnani and published in 1938. Here it is presented according to the 1938 edition of the Shughnani text. The text is accompanied by morphemic glossing, using the currently accepted system of Iranian transcription in Roman script with addi‑ tional characters, and a translation into Russian. The presentation of the text in this format makes it suitable for use in comparative language research, as well as in research related to intertextuality.

Hepatitis C is a global health problem affecting around 58 million people worldwide and killing almost 0.29 million in on one year [1]. The world has united to fight against this lethal disease in 2016 with a moto to eliminate hepatitis by 2030. To achieve this goal WHO’s World Health Assembly has set some targets and individual countries have developed their own strategies to achieve those targets [2].  Pakistan has the 2nd highest prevalence of hepatitis C in the world with 5.8% viremia positive patients [3]. Pakistan is amongst the few countries that have been assisted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) to prevent and control Hepatitis[4].   
With the availability of Direct Acting Antivirals(DAAs), the whole paradigm of treatment of hepatitis C has changed not only globally but also in Pakistan. However, the patients in Pakistan are unable to gain access to the latest DAAs at the pace, as they are available globally. International guidelines are being updated on regular basis as per global evidence, recommending such combinations which are not readily available to many parts of the world. Hence there is a dire need to develop national guidelines, keeping in consideration the efficacy of the drugs as well as their availability, in the broader canvas of achieving the targets of eliminating Hepatitis set by WHO.  
In this context, our consensus guidelines are an effort to fill the gap created because of upgraded scientific evidence and possible combinations available in our part of the world. Furthermore, quite some good research and evidence has also been shared in the literature from Pakistan during last five years (2016-2021). Hence a literature review has also been carried out to update our own epidemiologic data, risk factors and treatment responses to Hepatitis C in Pakistan.

‘The Real Data Set’: A Case of Challenging Power Dynamics and Questioning the Boundaries of Research Production
Authors: Copeland Victoria , Wells Rachel
Published: February 2024

While the co-production of knowledge through community-engaged research is intended to be a reciprocally beneficial process, academic institutions have often devalued community expertise by treating community organizations as subjects rather than co-creators of knowledge. Drawing from ethnographic work with a community-based organization (CBO), Los Angeles Community Action Network (LA CAN), this paper shows how one CBO is challenging and critiquing these long-standing power dynamics between community and their university partners. LA CAN centered community expertise and formed long-term mutual relationships based on shared values, primarily an abolitionist framework and connection to Black Radical Thought. Drawing from LA CAN’s partnerships and their definition of power, we discuss how shifting power dynamics and centering community expertise leads to a different form of knowledge production, resulting in “the real data set”. This case shows how CBOs are movement researchers who are central to creating and interpreting theory.
Centering Community Voice and Knowledge through Participatory Action Research

Published: February 2024

This paper analyzes a Participatory Action Research (PAR) Project focused on improving public safety and community lighting in one Latinx immigrant community in California as a case example to better understand the possibilities for university-community-government partnerships.  The paper explores residents' motivations for their sustained participation in the project, the relationships and power dynamics that led to a $100,000 commitment from the city government to fund the recommendations of the PAR collective, and the social contexts that allowed community residents to position themselves as political actors as the PAR project progressed over the 2021-2022 academic year.  This case example illustrates how including key stakeholders from powerful community institutions in the PAR process not only created opportunities for dialogue and social change that would not have occurred without this collaboration, but also provided critical spaces for the women to develop their stance as political actors in relationship to people in power.
From nonprofits to neighbors: Exploring the locus of campus-community partnerships
Authors: Perrotti Carmine
Published: February 2024

Service learning and community engagement (SLCE) have become near ubiquitous across U.S. higher education. While much scholarship has demonstrated positive student learning outcomes of SLCE, there has been unequal consideration towards understanding the experiences of communities involved. Because community voices and perspectives have been largely missing from literature, this paper, drawing on a community-based case study, and neoliberalism as a theoretical framework, uniquely explores the significance of SLCE at one institution from the vantage point of community members, notably local residents. As a result of the community contributions shared, this paper offers a way of thinking about SLCE “from nonprofits to neighbors” with an aim of (re)imagining SLCE with those who have often been left out of research.

This research article is about "Introducing a Supportive Framework to Address Students' Misconceptions and Difficulties in Learning Mathematical proof techniques (MPT): A Case of Debark University”.  This study aims to develop, introduce, and implement a supportive framework to overcome students’ misconceptions and difficulties in MPT. The framework, named IR2CP2CE, was developed, introduced, and implemented at Debark University in Ethiopia using various data-gathering instruments such as questionnaires, interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis from students and instructors. The study collected data over four months, including the implementation of a supportive framework using mixed, quasi-experimental, and pragmatism research approaches, designs, and paradigms respectively. The internal reliability of the data-gathering instruments was interpreted using Cronbach’s coefficient, Spearman-Brown, Spearman correlations, Kuder-Richardson 20 and 21, and difficulty and discrimination indices. The results showed that the implementation of the supportive framework led to significant improvements in students’ academic performance in MPT, regardless of factors such as gender, academic year category, and preliminary knowledge and proving skills. This study recommends additional imperatives for practice and future research.

Authors: ÇAĞIL Ferit
Published: February 2024

Geçmişleri hakkında kesin sonuçlara varılamamış bir topluluk olan Çingeneler, dünyanın dört bir yanında yaşamlarını sürdürmektedir. Dünya üzerinde yaşadıkları topraklarda farklı isimlerle değerlendirilen bu halk, farklı coğrafyada olmalarına rağmen benzer zorluklarla hayatlarını devam ettirirler. Çingenelerin yaşadıkları bu hayatlar sinemanın da konusu olmuş ve Çingeneler kalıplaşmış anlatılarla temsil edilmiştir. Çingenelerin Türk sinemasında temsili de bu basmakalıp anlatılar çerçevesinde yer bulmuştur. Bu çalışma, Çingenelerin Anadolu’da yaşayan ve Dom olarak tanımlanan kolunun Türk sinemasında temsilini Gönül (2022) filmi üzerinden analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda çalışmada nitel içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda filmin belli başlı stereotiplerden kaçarak Domların hayatına eğildiği ancak basmakalıp durumların da tekrar edildiği görülmüştür.

Academic Stress: Coping Strategies by Nursing Students
Authors:   St. Michael’s College, Higher Education Department, Brgy. San Miguel, Iligan City, C. Samong Erahcel
Published: February 2024

Students across a wide range of industries and educational levels frequently feel academic stress. It is defined as the body's and mind's reaction to the demands and strains of education, such as homework, projects, exams, and clinical training. Particularly when it comes to juggling the demands of their education and their clinical training and practicum, nursing students confront special stresses. To uncover practical coping mechanisms that assist nursing students in their academic endeavors, this study examines the coping mechanisms used by these students to deal with academic stress. Data were gathered from 196 nursing students at St. Michael's College of varying academic levels using a descriptive-correlational study approach. The study looks at how respondents' characteristics, academic stress, and the coping mechanisms they use—such as problem-, emotional-, and avoidant-focused coping mechanisms—relate significantly. The results add to the understanding of how nursing students cope with academic stress by highlighting the importance of including stress management programs into the nursing curriculum to teach a variety of student-specific coping mechanisms. A preliminary investigation including thirty-two nursing students yielded significant information for improving the research questionnaire. Results revealed that there exist notable differences in the academic pressures experienced by the respondents when classified based on their profile. The stresses related to personal time management do not significantly differ according to age, sex, parental marital status, or family rank, except for year level, where fourth-year students exhibit greater stress levels. However, there are notable differences in the stresses associated with academic burden according to age and year level. Participants who are 20 years of age or younger report feeling less stressed than older participants, while first-year students report feeling more stressed than second- and third-year students. In conclusion, the results show that year level and age have a major impact on the stress that academic overload causes for the respondents. To lessen academic stress and improve students' general well-being, recommendations include encouraging peer-to-peer connection to create a friendly environment in educational institutions and advocating for self-care techniques. Important insights from nursing students helped to improve the research technique. One suggestion is to create a welcoming atmosphere in educational institutions by encouraging self-care behaviors and peer-to-peer engagement lessen the burden of school and improve the general wellbeing of children. These suggestions are pertinent to nursing educators and educational establishments that aim to provide nursing students with all-encompassing assistance in efficiently handling academic stress, therefore enhancing their general welfare and scholastic achievement.
An Exploratory Study on Students’ Perceptions of the 12th Grade Literature and Composition Course: The Proposition of Personalized Learning Strategies
Authors:   ELA Teacher, ESL Practitioner, and Researcher in Applied Linguistics., Bachiri Dr. Housseine
Published: February 2024

This study aspires to theoretically and practically explore students’ perceptions of the 12th Grade Literature and Composition course in a personalized manner. The objective behind conducting this research is not to generate statistics, but rather to grant a well-grounded and research-based perspective on how students perceive and interact with the aforementioned course. This has ipso facto risen the researcher’s interest to thoroughly investigate and demystify, with unremitting ardor and devotion, the root causes of students’ dislike of literature. The data gathered by means of direct and non-participant observation, along with serving as a curriculum designer, teacher and evaluator, the researcher was able to establish an unobtrusive and unbiased research environment. The findings consistently show lack of students’ engagement and participation in the 12th Grade Literature and Composition Course. The personalized learning strategies proposed by the researcher were merely able to increase students’ thinking skills (The Means-Ends Diagram and Graphic Organizers). Nevertheless, they slightly motivated them to interact with literary texts. This is most probably due to the fact that the majority of students view the aforementioned course more as a graduation requirement, and not as a gateway to proficiency and scholarship.
