Authors: Sabiha Sabrin
Published: May 2024

The partition of 1947 was a significant socio-political event of history that tremendously affected individuals’ life. Bapsi Sidhwa is a Parsi writer from Pakistan, who was born in Karachi in 1938. She spent most of her childhood days in Lahore and witnessed the violence of partition as a nine-year child. She portrays the terror of the partition in her novel Ice Candy Man and her first-hand experiences make it more vivid and authentic. The novel also focuses on how partition related violence and traumatic experiences can determine the course of one’s life. The present study intends to show how a horrific political event like the Partition can influence theindividuals and how they have to live with the trauma caused by this event through the portrayal of the characters of this novel in the light of trauma theory

Authors: Mohammad Faisal Akber , Md. Burhan Uddin
Published: May 2024

Climate change has evolved into an issue of concern worldwide since the 1970s. Bangladesh is the most affected country, having multi-dimensional environmental challenges as a result of climate change. From 2000 to 2019, climate change cost Bangladesh $3.72 billion and caused 185 climate catastrophes. The impact of climate change and environmental hazards is directly caused by the actions of youth in their daily lives. As a result of the demographic dividend, Bangladesh has seen an increase in the working-age population since 2007, with youth constituting one-third of the total population and having the potential to fuel economic growth at the forefront. This paper investigates the role of youth in environmental conservation and prospective exploration in a dynamic and more vigilant manner, particularly in the context of Bangladesh. Thematic analysis (TA) is used to find the specific connections between youth role-playing areas, and content analysis (CA) is used to look into the potential areas. One of the best ways to conserve the environment from the effects of climate change is to empower youth. More specifically, youth have four distinct areas for activism, advocacy, and campaigning. These areas are environmental movement, community development, utility and consumption management, and capacity building in Bangladesh. Lastly, the study adds some suggestive propositions as a possible way to get the engagement of more youth in Bangladesh to protect the environment from climate change.

Published: May 2024

Resumo Fundamento: O manejo da angina instável (AI) é um desafio devido ao seu diagnóstico subjetivo e à sua escassa representação em ensaios clínicos randomizados que determinem as práticas atuais. Objetivos O objetivo deste estudo é identificar os principais fatores associados à indicação de estratificação invasiva ou não nessa população e avaliar os fatores associados às alterações nos exames de estratificação. Métodos: Coorte retrospectiva de pacientes internados por AI, em um período de 20 meses consecutivos. Para avaliar os fatores associados à estratégia de estratificação, os pacientes foram divididos em estratificação invasiva (cinecoronariografia) e não invasiva (demais métodos). Para análise de fatores relacionados às alterações nos exames de estratificação, os pacientes foram divididos em grupos com ou sem doença arterial coronariana (DAC) obstrutiva ou isquemia, conforme resultados dos exames solicitados. Foram realizadas comparações entre grupos e análise de regressão logística múltipla, com significância estatística definida em um nível de 5%. Resultados: 729 pacientes foram incluídos, com mediana de idade de 63 anos e predomínio do sexo masculino (64,6%). Estiveram associados à estratificação invasiva: tabagismo (p = 0,001); tipo de dor torácica (p < 0,001); dor "em crescendo" (p = 0,006); escore TIMI (p = 0,006); escore HEART (p = 0,011). Na análise multivariada, tabagistas (OR 2,23, IC 95% 1,13-4,8), ex-tabagistas (OR 2,19, IC 1,39-3,53) e dor torácica tipo A (OR 3,39, IC 95% 1,93-6,66) estiveram associados de forma independente. Estiveram associados à DAC obstrutiva ou isquemia: tempo de internação hospitalar (p < 0,001); sexo masculino (p = 0,032); dor desencadeada por esforço (p = 0,037); Diamond-Forrester (p = 0,026); escore TIMI (p = 0,001). Na análise multivariada, apenas dor torácica (dor torácica tipo B: OR 0,6, IC 95% 0,38-0,93, p = 0,026) e DAC prévia (OR 1,42, IC 95% 1,01-2,0, p = 0,048) estiveram associadas de maneira independente. Conclusões: O tipo de dor torácica desempenha um papel crucial não apenas no diagnóstico da AI, mas também na definição do tratamento adequado. Nossos resultados destacam a importância de incorporar características da dor aos escores prognósticos endossados pelas diretrizes, para otimização do manejo da AI.

Published: May 2024

Abstract Background: The management of unstable angina (UA) presents a challenge due to its subjective diagnosis and limited representation in randomized clinical trials that inform current practices. Objectives: This study aims to identify key factors associated with the indication for invasive versus non-invasive stratification in this population and to evaluate factors associated with stratification test results. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients hospitalized with UA over a consecutive 20-month period. To assess factors associated with stratification strategies, patients were divided into invasive stratification (coronary angiography) and non-invasive stratification (other methods) groups. For the analysis of factors related to changes in stratification tests, patients were categorized into groups with or without obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) or ischemia, as per the results of the requested tests. Comparisons between groups and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed, with statistical significance set at a 5% level. Results: A total of 729 patients were included, with a median age of 63 years and a predominance of males (64.6%). Factors associated with invasive stratification included smoking (p = 0.001); type of chest pain (p < 0.001); "crescendo" pain (p = 0.006); TIMI score (p = 0.006); HEART score (p = 0.011). In multivariate analysis, current smokers (OR 2.23, 95% CI 1.13-4.8), former smokers (OR 2.19, 95% CI 1.39-3.53), and type A chest pain (OR 3.39, 95% CI 1.93-6.66) were independently associated. Factors associated with obstructive CAD or ischemia included length of hospital stay (p < 0.001); male gender (p = 0.032); effort-induced pain (p = 0.037); Diamond-Forrester score (p = 0.026); TIMI score (p = 0.001). In multivariate analysis, only chest pain (type B chest pain: OR 0.6, 95% CI 0.38-0.93, p = 0.026) and previous CAD (OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.01-2.0, p = 0.048) were independently associated. Conclusion: The type of chest pain plays a crucial role not only in the diagnosis of UA but also in determining the appropriate treatment. Our results highlight the importance of incorporating pain characteristics into prognostic scores endorsed by guidelines to optimize UA management.

Abstract Background: Testosterone deficiency (TD) is a prevalent condition in our midst and still very neglected. Arterial hypertension (AH) is one of the possible associated factors. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of TD in a hypertensive male population and the factors associated with its occurrence, such as age, time since hypertension diagnosis, number of antihypertensive classes, body mass index (BMI), diabetes, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease (CKD), positive symptoms of TD (positive ADAM questionnaire) and use of spironolactone. Methods: Cross-sectional study with administration of the ADAM questionnaire, assessment of biochemical, clinical, and anthropometric data. Patients were stratified into DT and normal testosterone groups. Categorical variables were compared using the chi-squared test and continuous variables using the Mann-Witney test; variables with significance (p<0,05) were analyzed by multivariable linear regression. Results: The prevalence of TD was 26.36%. There was an association between TD and body mass index (BMI) (p=0.0007) but there was no association with age (p=0.0520), time of hypertension diagnosis (p=0.1418), number of classes of antihypertensive drugs (p=0.732), diabetes (p=0.1112); dyslipidemia (p=0.3888); CKD (p=0.3321); use of spironolactone (p=0.3546) or positive ADAM questionnaire (p=0.2483). Conclusions: TD was highly prevalent and positively associated with BMI. Total testosterone (TT) declined by 8.44ng/dL with a one unit increase in BMI and dropped by 3.79ng/dL with a one-year increase in age.

Published: May 2024

Abstract Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have significant health and economic burdens. In South America, the loss of productivity related to these diseases has not yet been well explored. Objective: Estimate the potentially productive years of life lost (PPYLL) and loss of productivity related to premature mortality associated with CVD in South America, in 2019. Methods: Mortality data available from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease Study were used to estimate the burden of disease attributable to CVD. For monetary calculations of productivity loss, a proxy of the human capital approach was used. Data were stratified by sex, in working age groups. Results: The total number of deaths due to CVD in South America in 2019 was 754,324, and the total number of PPYLL was 2,040,973. The total permanent loss of productivity was approximately US$ 3.7 billion and US$ 7.8 billion in purchasing power parity, equivalent to 0.11% of the gross domestic product. The cost per death was US$ 22,904, and the ratio between men and women for the cost per death was 1.45. The variation in scenarios indicates that the estimates are robust, even with important differences between countries. Conclusions: CVD impose a significant economic burden on countries in South America. The characterization of this burden can support governments in the allocation of resources for the planning and execution of health policies and interventions in promotion, prevention, and recovery.

Reflections on a methodology of history textbook (Wprowadzenie do metodologii historii, ed. Ewa Domańska, Jan Pomorski, Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN, Warsaw 2022, 572pp)

The article is a critical analysis of selected issues examined in Wprowadzenie do metodologii historii (Introduction to the Methodology of History), edited by Ewa Domańska and Jan Pomorski, Warsaw 2022. The reviewer focuses on general methodological and epistemological issues, believing that the authors of the various chapters pay too little attention, for the most part, to the relation between the methodology of history and general methodology. The discussion concerns the history of historiography, the role of history in the emergence of the humanities, the dispute over the status of history in the nineteenth century, particularly nomothetism and idiographism in the light of Auguste Comte’s classification of sciences compiled in France and their division as seen by Wilhelm Windelband and Heinrich Rickert, proposed in Germany, as well as explanation in historiography. With regard to that last point, deductive-nomological and genetic explanations are considered. Attention is drawn to the problematic nature of the application of the classic pattern of deductive-nomological explanation in connection with the problem of universal laws and historical theories (more generally – concerning the social sciences), as well as to the differences in the understanding of causality in historiography and theoretical natural sciences, which is relevant to the analysis of the genetic explanation. In the final section of the article the author points to the link between the approach to historical cognition and general problems of epistemology.

Semiotic Analysis of Sundanese Culture Spells: Exploring Its Discursive Level and Cultural Connotation
Authors: Tawami Tatan , Indrayani Lia Maulia , Sobarna Cece , Yuliawati Susi
Published: May 2024

This paper presents a semiotic analysis focusing on the discursive level. This study investigates the figurative components, syntactical/grammatical features, and enunciative components of the signs embedded in Sundanese cultural spells, specifically Asihan Leugeut teuerup. A qualitative descriptive method was implemented to unveil the meanings and interpretations presented in the spells. The study discovered that: (1) the sign reference, known as its figurative components, was divided into five isotopies carrying specific cultural connotations; (2) the spells were also preferably characterized by nominative structure rather than the predicative; its syntactical structures were dominated by imperative moods and kecap anteuran (anticipatory verbal inchoative words); and (3) the way the spells were narrated was through the first-person protagonist and diegetic, meaning that the actor was the narrator himself. The findings suggest that the signs presented in the spells provide suggestive insights through components that relate closely to users’ daily and iterative activities. These suggestive insights can be interpreted as how users understand the meaning of the signs.
Elaboration of Underpinning Methods and Data Analysis Process of Directed Qualitative Content Analysis for Communication Studies
Authors: Alyaqoub Rasha , Alsharairi Ahmad , Aslam Muhammad Zammad
Published: May 2024

Directed qualitative content analysis (QCA) is a qualitative analysis method that has been recently explained and employed practically by a few researchers at the international level. They employed it deductively in most cases, primarily within qualitative research guidelines. In contrast to the inductive method, which starts with a general hypothesis and builds upon it as it gathers data, the deductive method, also known as the directed approach, researchers develop the categories and subcategories that guide their research based on an already established theory or theories. The present paper also explained this conceptual method in the context of the deductive approach. The purpose of deductive or directed QCA is to test, verify, or broaden the scope of the study’s underlying theory(s) by applying them to data collected from sources other than those directly relevant to its creation. Researchers employed deductive QCA in sixteen and seven steps in previous studies, respectively. Hence, this article proposes a four-step conceptual model deduced from the present researchers’ previous works and others’ previous studies to address the gaps above in the qualitative research tradition and achieve the same goals with the research data. We provide conceptual sample data in tables as examples for scholars interested in political communication who might use DQCA in their future studies.
Crossing Linguistic Bridges: Unravelling the Art of Persuasion Among Albanian Writers in Greek
Authors: Vasilopoulou Alexandra E. , Ypsilandis George S.
Published: May 2024

Pragmalinguistic (PML) failure complicates intercultural communication in both productive and receptive modes. This paper attempts to unravel the persuasive strategies used by Albanians writing in Greek and further record the overall suitability score they received when assessed by Greek teachers (n=176). A protocol sample of extracted persuasive strategies was created to be used for further investigation, with respect to their suitability. The evaluation body provided their scores systematically through a purposefully constructed internet evaluation tool, which recorded their responses in a scale format. All strategies used scored below the middle of the evaluation scale and were thus considered unsuitable to be included in a letter of this type. Direct pathos statements were found particularly unfit to be employed in this context, while logos received the highest votes. Significant correlations were found in the voting tactic of the judges, which suggests a personality question in the judgments, while younger judges seemed to be more rigid in their evaluations. On the other hand, inconsistencies were detected between a) the evaluation of ethos and pathos persuasive arguments by these Greek judges and b) the employment of the exact same strategies by Greeks writing in English, outlined in an earlier study. The judges’ level of education and their teaching experience did not correlate statistically with the judgment scores they provided.

RESULTS OF LABORATORY STUDIES OF THE EXPANDATE FORMATION PROCESS
Authors: Elchyn Aliiev , Dudin Volodymyr , Linko Mykola
Published: May 2024

The expanded preparation of feeds is carried out using high-temperature (80–140 °C) expanders. These expanders perform the task of preparing food products and feeds under high pressure (1–10 MPa). The expansion process is accompanied by chemical changes such as denaturation of proteins, amino acids, vitamins, starch, and enzymes. Additionally, there is a transformation of the physical and mechanical properties of the feed components, converting them into expandates.

The laboratory research aims to establish the regularities of the compression pressure changes with the deformation of feed components and the density of the obtained expandates under various technological parameters. The study explores the impact of the granulometric composition of the feed, its moisture, and temperature on the deformation diagram, representing the relationship between stress and material deformation. For this purpose, testing was conducted using the Heckert FP-100/1 testing machine and additional devices and equipment.

As research factors, the feed's moisture W (10 %, 20 %, 30 %), temperature T (80 °C, 110 °C, 140 °C), and the average particle diameter of ground feed components Dμ (0.5 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.5 mm) were selected. The study was conducted using a full-factor experiment, comprising a total of 27 experiments with three repetitions. For each experiment, a relationship of compression pressure changes with deformation (elastic hysteresis) of the feed components ΔP(εz) was obtained.

The research criteria include: the area SΔP enclosed inside the elastic hysteresis loop ΔP(εz); the coefficient of mechanical losses (or relative hysteresis) Ψ, calculated as the ratio of the hysteresis loop area SΔP to the area enclosed between the stress-strain curve and the abscissa axis, where deformations SP1 are plotted; the height of the obtained expandate sample ha; and the density of the obtained expandates ρa.

As a result of the laboratory research on the expandation process, dependencies of the compression pressure changes with the deformation of feed components ΔP(εz) were established. Additionally, correlations of the area of the elastic hysteresis loop SΔP, the coefficient of mechanical losses Ψ, the height of the obtained expandate sample ha, and the density of the obtained expandates ρa with the feed's moisture W, temperature T, and the average particle diameter of ground components Dμ were determined.

By solving the compromise task of minimizing the coefficient of mechanical losses Ψ and maximizing the density of the obtained expandates ρa, the following rational technological parameters were obtained, ensuring the most effective feed expansion process: Dμ = 0.5 mm, T = 119.2 °C, W = 19.1%, ρa = 292.9 kg/m3.

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) yaitu ketidakmampuan jantung untuk memompakan darah dalam jumlah yang cukup agar dapat memenuhi kebutuhan jaringan terhadap oksigen karena adanya kelainan fungsi pada jantung yang akibatnya adalah jantung gagal memompakan darah untuk memenuhi kebutuhan metabolisme jaringan yang ada di dalam tubuh manusia. Di dunia, 17,5 juta jiwa (31%) dari jumlah 58 juta jiwa terjadi angka kematian yang disebabkan oleh penyakit jantung. CHF tidak hanya berdampak pada kondisi fisik saja akan tetapi berdampak pula pada kondisi psikologisnya yaitu kecemasan. Pasien dengan penyakit CHF yang mengalami masalah kecemasan akan lebih lambat proses penyembuhannya dan lebih berat gejala fisik yang dialaminya. Dengan demikian diperlukan intervensi pemberian pijat punggung untuk mengatasi kecemasan. Tujuan penulisan dari karya tulis ilmiah ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran skor kecemasan pada pasien CHF setelah diberikan terapi pijat punggung. Jenis desain dari karya tulis ilmiah ini adalah deskriptif dengan laporan studi kasus, proses penelitian dilaksanakan selama 5 hari, dimulai pada tanggal 9 April 2023 sampai 13 April 2023, penyajian data kedua responden dituangkan dalam lembar skala HARS.

Isolating the impact of a visual search template’s color and form information on search guidance and verification times
Authors: Montalvo Derrek T. , Rodriguez Andrew , Becker Mark W.
Published: May 2024

Visual search can be guided by biasing one’s attention towards features associated with a target. Prior work has shown that high-fidelity, picture-based cues are more beneficial to search than text-based cues. However, typically picture cues provide both detailed form information and color information that is absent from text-based cues. Given that visual resolution deteriorates with eccentricity, it is not clear that high-fidelity form information would benefit guidance to peripheral objects – much of the picture benefit could be due to color information alone. To address this, we conducted a search task with eye-tracking that had four types of cues that comprised a 2 (text/pictorial cue) × 2 (no color/color) design. We hypothesized that color information would be important for efficient search guidance while high-fidelity form information would be important for efficient verification times. In Experiment 1 cues were a colored picture of the target, a gray-scaled picture of the target, a text-based cue that included color (e.g., “blue shoe”), or a text-based cue without color (e.g., “shoe”). Experiment 2 was a replication of Experiment 1, except that the color word in the text-based cue was presented in the precise color that was the dominant color in the target. Our results show that high-fidelity form information is important for efficient verifications times (with color playing less of a role) and color is important for efficient guidance, but form information also benefits guidance. These results suggest that different features of the cue independently contribute to different aspects of the search process.
Domino reactions of chromones with activated carbonyl compounds
Authors: Langer Peter
Published: May 2024

Domino reactions of chromones with activated carbonyl compounds, such as dimethyl acetone-1,3-dicarboxylate and 1,3-diphenylacetone, and with 1,3-bis(silyloxy)-1,3-butadienes, electroneutral equivalents of 1,3-dicarbonyl dianions, allow for a convenient synthesis of a great variety of products. The regioselectivity and course of the reaction depends of the substituent located at carbon C3 of the chromone moiety and also on the type of nucleophile employed.
