An In-Depth Analysis of Cohesion Utilization in the English Language: Implications for Effective Communication and Textual Coherence
Authors: Kadhim Haneen Saad
Published: September 2024

This study focuses on the link between coherence and the English language notion of cohesiveness.  Cohesion is defined as the way in which different elements of a text or speech are linked together to create a unified and integrated whole. The study identifies the challenges in determining the appropriate level of cohesion for a given text and how factors such as audience, purpose, and context can affect cohesion. The aims of the research are to provide learners with a better understanding of cohesion in English and to demonstrate the importance of cohesion in producing clear and effective communication. The paper is divided into three sections: the first section introduces the problem, aims, scope, procedure, and hypothesis; the second section provides a detailed explanation of the definition, general meaning, models, and types of cohesion; and the third section examines lexical and grammatical cohesion in more detail. The theory argues that English language learners typically don't understand the ideas of cohesion and coherence, which leads to poor writing that is illogical and grammatically incorrect. The research methodology involves data collection from English books, analysis, comparison of essays on cohesion, and consultation with instructors of English. Ultimately, this research highlights the importance of cohesion in achieving coherence and producing effective communication in English. The practical study of grammatical cohesion conducted in the English Department of Sawa University's College of Education aimed to assess students' comprehension of linguistic phenomena such as conjunction, ellipsis, references, and substitution. The study involved 54 participants, comprising of 36 females and 18 males, who were presented with 18 different prompts and asked to identify the linguistic phenomenon present in each response. The study's analysis revealed that participants identified these linguistic phenomena differently for each prompt, with some responses predominantly identified as conjunction, while others were predominantly identified as ellipsis or references. These findings provide insight into how individuals interpret and use language and can contribute to the development of linguistic theories and models.
Monitoring of the Cancer Treatment Process by Temperature Measurements
Authors: Dvorkin Lev
Published: September 2024

The usage of temperature measurements in the Magic Light anti-cancer therapy has been investigated in clinical trials for the treatment of Triple Negative Breast Cancer (Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Stage III). Irradiation by RF waves, from the Magic Light device, can increase or decrease the patient’s body temperature during one treatment session. It allows for the visualization of the cancer treatment process as well as to monitor its progress.Treatment of Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) Stage III, using the Magic Light anti-cancer therapy, was completed and described. The best treatment effect was observed at a frequency of 430 MHz and, applied in turn, at modulation frequencies of 4 kHz, 7 kHz, 10 kHz and 21 kHz and with RF power densities less than 12 mW/cm2 at a distance of 1 m from the patient.The process of cancer treatment using the Magic Light anti-cancer therapy was monitored by measuring the patient’s body temperature both before and after each treatment session. A new medical effect was disclosed, which allows the observance of efficiency and progress in the cancer treatment, as well as detecting the presence of cancer cells at the early stages of disease.In this trial, it was discovered that if cancer is present in the human body, the body temperature after the Magic Light treatment session will always be higher than before this treatment session began. However, if during 5-6 treatment sessions in turn, the body temperature after the treatment session, is lower than it was initially, it means that the cancer has been cured completely.Temperature measurements using the Magic Light device, may also be used as an oncology test.

Research goal is to identify an integrated approach for assessing real risk exposure of population located in areas of extractive industries. We focused on environmental data evaluation (diffusion model), figures and contextual analysis of active health surveillance data of the population (questionnaire, chemistry panel, spirometry and activation of a biobank). Environmental exposure data crossed with the calculation of the AQI (Air Quality Index) did not highlight any critical issues. A cohort of 600 locals subjected to health surveillance was analysed by calculating risk perception; a questionnaire aimed at assessing risk perception was administered to the population sample.All data (environmental and clinical) were georeferenced and analysed using GIS (Geographic Information System) software; study of contaminant distribution was carried out using a Q-GIS software shows average exposure conditions well below regulatory limits, with minor exceptions relative to concentrations of finer particulate matter (PM 2.5) and with reference only to the major urban centers; analysis of risk perception evince “incorrect” perception, with little confidence in relation to the environmental monitoring of the Regional Agencies.

Force or energy is both a relationship and a pulse between objects (relational physics). Based on this idea, I have succeeded in unifying the gravitational and electromagnetic forces, as well as the strong and weak forces, using the same framework. Through this verification work, I have also been able to determine the radius and mass of the neutrino. In my deep consideration of the background of the formation of the weak and strong forces, I also succeeded in unifying alpha and beta decay by combining radioactive decay with the vision of the pulse.
Concurrent Integrated Protection: An Innovative Approach To High-Precision Radiation Therapy
Authors: Mohammed Mohsen Alotaibi
Published: September 2024

Objective: Extra care must be taken when administering stereotactic radiation close to serial organs at risk (OAR). Simultaneous integrated protection (SIP), a novel intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) prescription concept, is described for quantifiable and comparable dose prescription to targets very close to OAR. Materials and procedures: An intersection volume of a planning risk volume (PRV) with the total planning target volume (PTV) defined the protection volume (PTVSIP). The remainder of the PTV represented the dominant PTV (PTVdom). IMRT was used for the planning process. PTVdom was prescribed a dose in 3, 5, 8, or 12 fractions based on the ICRU. The restrictions on OARs were stated in terms of equieffective doses at 2 Gy (EQD2) and as absolute limits. The dose to an OAR's gross risk volume was to be considerate of the limitations. breach of OAR's constraints.
In summary: For PTV, SIP produces a median dose of ≥100% in order to achieve low toxicity and high local control. This new approach in chest and abdomen stereotactic body radiotherapy is currently being tested in a prospective clinical trial; longer follow-up is necessary to confirm results.

Introduction: Palliative Medicine (PM) is a vital branch of medicine that focuses on the relief of symptoms while facing a life-threatening illness. In Peru, PM education is not included in the medical school curriculum and there is currently no fellowship for adequate PM training.Objective: To evaluate Palliative Medicine knowledge among Peruvian graduated physicians who are currently training or practicing in Peru.Methods: An observational, cross sectional and analytical study was conducted in graduated physicians from Peruvian medical schools who have or have not done a residency training and are currently residing and practicing medicine in Peru. Peruvian physicians were provided with an online link to assess their palliative medicine knowledge, primarily utilizing the Palliative Care Knowledge Test Spanish Version (PCKT-SV) which was our primary outcome variable.Results: A total of 120 physicians answered the questionnaire from different parts of Peru. Most of them were male (55.83%) and the range of age was between 25-40 years (81.67%). Regarding knowledge levels about palliative care, we found a higher correct answers for philosophy (83.75%), followed by dyspnea (68.12%). The least proportion of correct answers were present in the dimensions of psychiatry problems (54.58%), pain (56.39%) and gastrointestinal problems (58.33%).Conclusion: Peruvian physicians exhibit a commendable level of knowledge regarding palliative care, but issues arise in the comprehensive management of palliative patients since most of the medical practitioners lack specific expertise in this domain. Furthermore, the deficiency of undergraduate and postgraduate education on the subject is noteworthy.
A War for the Tech Economy

Today, various commentators are asking about the purpose behind the pager attack and the subsequent communication device attack yesterday. The New York Times’s detailed report of the incidents announces in its title that Israel has built a “Modern-Day Trojan Horse”. The idea comes from Greek history, but perhaps a better comparison might be found in Greek myth. Prometheus stole fire from the gods. Today, Israel is attempting to develop secularized but God-like technological capabilities, at least in terms of their ability to generate surprise and change reality overnight. Yet, by discarding moral or political considerations in favor of pyrotechnics,  Israel risks Prometheus’s ultimate fate: punishment.
Determining the relationship between unemployment and minimum wage in Turkey
Authors: Yaln Mustafa Alp , Yaln Elif
Published: September 2024

The minimum wage, which has increased more than tenfold in Turkey since 2014, has been a controversial topic for Turkish economic policy in the last few years. This controversy is due to a variety of factors including the high rate of minimum wage-bound workers and the minimum wage dropping below the hunger and poverty limits because of inflation despite rapid increase in the nominal minimum wage. The literature on the Turkish labor market, as well as the broader empirical and theoretical literature in economics, is divided about the employment effect of minimum wage. We hypothesized that the minimum wage has a positive and a Granger causal relationship with unemployment because the high rate of minimum wage bound workers suggests a minimum wage increase might introduce a lot of rigidity in the labor market. To test this hypothesis, we conducted Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression and Granger causality tests using unemployment, minimum wage, gross domestic product (GDP), and producer price index (PPI) data from 2014 to 2022. We concluded that there is a positive correlation between minimum wage and unemployment and that the minimum wage has a Granger causal link to unemployment. Although further research is required to establish a definite causal link, the findings in this paper establish a positive relationship and strengthen the case that a higher minimum wage has a causal link to a higher level of unemployment. These results imply that greater consideration of the of minimum wage on unemployment is needed in minimum wage setting.
Territorial concentration of the production of electrical machines in the branch policy of the Soviet government in the first half of the 1920s and Ukrainian electrical machine building industry: historiography and reality
Authors: Ihor Annienkov
Published: September 2024

In the Soviet territories of the former Russian Empire in the early 1920s, an attempt was made to carry out global concentration of production - the geographical concentration of production not of any range of a particular type of product, but of its entire volume. That is, the concentration of the type of industrial activity as such was assumed, the possibility of it in socialist society was justified by K. Marx. Due to objective and subjective factors, the only industry where such an attempt became possible was electrical machine-building, and during 1920ï¿½1923. the production of electric machines began to concentrate in Moscow and Petrograd, which undermined the potential of Ukrainian electric machine branch. Considering the political importance for the Soviet government of neutralizing this negative, the concentration of electrical machine-building activities in Soviet capitals from 1925 began to be presented as a result of the industrial policy of Tsarist Russia, what moved into historical works. However, the information available in the documents completely refutes this view, while simultaneously confirming the purposeful actions of the Soviet government to curtail the electrical machine industry in Ukraine.

El neumotórax espontáneo (NE) es la presencia de aire en la cavidad pleural sin etiología aparente. Se considera primario (NEP) cuando no existe enfermedad pulmonar subyacente y secundario (NES) cuando ésta existe. Este es un estudio, descriptivo, retrospectivo, de serie de casos, en el cual se describen las características clínicas-epidemiológicas de 18 pacientes con neumotórax espontáneo y el manejo terapéutico en el Hospital Universitario de Sincelejo entre 2003-2013. Los datos se tabularon y procesaron con Epi Info7™. Se encontró que la mayoría de los NE resultaron secundarios (10 casos – 55.5%). En el NEP, el sexo masculino fue predominante (38.9%). Por el contrario, el NES, afecto más al sexo femenino (33.3%). La epidemiología en la institución varía con respecto a la literatura médica, prevaleciendo más el NES. Además, se observa una asociación entre el EPOC y el antecedente en la aparición de neumotórax espontáneo en este estudio.

El incremento en la incidencia de las enfermedades oncológicas requiere que el personal de salud tenga un conocimiento óptimo en el manejo de pacientes con cáncer y neoplasias hematológicas. En el curso de estas patologías, los pacientes van a la unidad de cuidados intensivos por diversas complicaciones derivadas de su enfermedad o de los tratamientos a los que se someten, lo cual necesita tener las herramientas para afinar el diagnóstico y tratamiento que impacten los desenlaces y la calidad de vida. La transferencia a la unidad de cuidados intensivos, en algunas ocasiones, tiene importantes consideraciones éticas y debe ser individual para cada caso, que conociendo el pronóstico permite maximizar la sobrevida, limita los sufrimientos innecesarios y racionaliza costos. Este artículo incluye el manejo de patologías agudas que necesitan de un abordaje preventivo y escalonado para resolver las razones del ingreso a UCI.
Importancia Clínica del Síndrome del Opérculo Torácico
Authors: Ordoñez Ortega Roberth Alexander
Published: September 2024

El Síndrome del Opérculo Torácico (SOT) se ha descrito como un espectro de condiciones clínicas producto de la compresión dinámica del plexo braquial y vasos subclavios, en tres puntos anatómicos bien definidos en su recorrido, desde la región cervical a la axilar: compresión interescalenica, costoclavicular y retropectoral menor. El Síndrome del Opérculo Torácico es una afección de diagnóstico complejo, debido al espectro amplio de manifestaciones clínicas que presenta y la falta de pruebas diagnósticas para su confirmación, se basa fundamentalmente en el juicio clínico del médico después del análisis meticuloso de la historia clínica y examen físico. Sin embargo, a menudo el estudio clínico de los pacientes es insuficiente para determinar el sitio y las estructuras implicadas en la compresión. La arteriografía por TC y la resonancia magnética asociadas con maniobras posturales (Wright, Adson y Roos), pueden demostrar la compresión dinámica de las estructuras neurovasculares en el opérculo torácico, importante para un manejo adecuado de los pacientes. El tratamiento por lo general es conservador con educación, terapia física y cambios en la actividad física diaria; aunque, el manejo quirúrgico tiene consideraciones controvertidas, los resultados de la descompresión quirúrgica dependen del tipo clínico del Síndrome del Opérculo Torácico.
