A Study of Authorial Voice in To the Lighthouse from the Perspective of Feminist Narratology
Authors:   School of English, Zhejiang Yuexiu University, Shaoxing, China, Jingdong Zhong Jingyi Xu
Published: June 2022

The history of Western literature since the 18th century has witnessed some excellent works by women writers, however, due to stereotypes and the authority of male discourse, these writers still endured great pressure from society in the creative process. To break the authority and gain recognition, female writers gradually formed a narrative voice belonging to themselves. In her novel To the Lighthouse, Virginia Woolf uses a great deal of interior monologue and free indirect discourse to cleverly construct her narrative authority. This adequately denotes the essence of feminist narratology, which is the combination of feminism and classical structuralist narratology, and a way to study feminist works as well. Concerning feminist narratology, this paper investigates the concept of feminist narrative voice, three types of which are personal voice, authorial voice, and communal voice. In To the Lighthouse, Woolf mostly employs authorial voice. To gain a further insight into this, the paper discusses the origin and concept of feminist narrative voice, and then examines Woolf's writing techniques adopted in To the Lighthouse, the use of authorial voice and the construction of female narrative authority in the novel. The study concludes that the use of authorial voice in To the Lighthouse contributes to a shift in women's marginalization and the struggle for male dominance narratives, and demonstrates fully Woolf's feminist thinking throughout the work.

Published: June 2022

Thailand’s market for “big bikes”, or motorbikes larger than 400cc, has been enjoying tremendous growth especially with their attractive design and powerful engines, big bikes are a dream machine for many men and even some women. According to the Land Transport Department, nearly 165,000 big bikes have been registered in Thailand so far, and the number is expected to near the 200,000 mark by the end of this year (2021). On a global scale, the market for motorcycles is concentrated in the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, an area that accounts for 80% of total annual global sales (source: Statista). Therefore, competition has been fierce and all brands are looking for ways to increase brand loyalty in order to stabilize their earnings and sustain sales growth over time. Therefore, it would be beneficial to all these big bike brands to understand what constitute consumer loyalty. The purpose of this research is study of factors influencing brand loyalty of big bikers in Thailand. These factors include First-order variables: Customer Expectation (CE), Customer Satisfaction (CS), Brand Personality (BP), Brand Image (BI), Brand Trust (BT), Product (PD), Customer Psychology (CP); and Second-order variables: Customer factor (CUS), Brand factor (BRA). 400 sample were collected using electronic questionnaire through social media. We used second-order Structural Equation Models (SEM) for data analysis. The result shows that the RMSEA, which is an absolute fit index that assesses how far our hypothesized model is from a perfect model, for this model is .047 (<.05) which strongly indicates a “close fit” and the Goodness of Fit Index (GFI) value is .903 (>.90), the model seems to fit well according to the descriptive measures of fit. Moreover, CFI, which is incremental fit indices that compare the fit of our hypothesized model with that of a baseline model (i.e., a model with the worst fit), its value equals .900 indicating an acceptable fit. More importantly, Customer factor (CUS), which is second-order factor of Customer Expectation (CE) and Customer Satisfaction (CS), seem to have significant effects on Customer Psychology towards Brand Loyalty of Big Bikers in Bangkok Thailand due to their p-values are all less than .05. That means if big bike companies and manufacturers can come up with the models that meet or exceed consumer expectation and satisfy customer needs, big bikers will be more likely to switch to your brand and become brand loyal any day.

Authors: Said R. , Zitouni N. , Mînzu V. , Mami A.
Published: June 2022

This work presents a simulation model for a UV water treatment system, powered by a photovoltaic generator, which relates the current consumed by the lamp to the UV flux and water quality. The overall system also includes electronic converters, electronic ballast (RLC resonant circuit), a UV lamp (UV irradiation source), and a centrifugal pump. To optimize the power transfer from the PV generator to the ballast and the UV lamp, a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) device is used. The overall water treatment system presents a complex model due to its hybrid components. The bond graph tool with a multidisciplinary vocation allows precisely, by its graphic nature, using a unified language, to explicitly display the nature of the power exchanges in the system and facilitate its control. This tool is a solution for non-linear systems that guarantees and facilitates their modeling without difficulties.

Authors: Hameurlaine A. , Sayah H. , Boukezzi L.
Published: June 2022

In High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission system applications, the control and protection system plays an essential role in the overall performance. This paper aims to give solutions to some performance problems that can occur in the HVDC link. In this paper, ways to mitigate this serious malfunction of the commutation failure process in the operation of HVDC converters are studied and protection functions like the Commutation Failure Prevention (CFPREV) have been used. Furthermore, HVDC transmission systems are vulnerable to DC faults and its protection becomes ever more important with the fast growth in the number of installations. In this context, the DC fault protection function is one of the most important challenges to the development of HVDC transmission systems. The dynamics of the studied power system including the HVDC link are thoroughly investigated in this paper through various simulation scenarios.

Published: June 2022

A thermoelectric refrigerator, also known as a thermoelectric cooler module or Peltier cooler, is an electric component made of semi-conductors that acts as a tiny heat pump. When a thermoelectric cooler module is powered by a low voltage direct current power source, heat is transferred from one side to the other. As a result, one module face will be cooled while the opposite face is heated at the same time. The same fundamental laws of thermodynamics govern both thermoelectric and mechanical refrigerators, and both refrigeration systems, despite their vastly different appearances, operate on the same principles.

The design on black cotton soil has always been a difficult task for the engineers because the structure resting on black cotton soil cracks with none warning. Black cotton soil is found in M.P., Karnataka, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh in our country. Soil proportion changes depending upon their constituents, i.e. water content, density, bulk density, angle of friction, shear strength etc. With the rapid development in Soil improvement, construction technique and social need various constructions of structure are happening. the likelihood of excellent construction sites to create structures on Black Cotton Soils is difficult because of their poor strength and deformation characteristics. The failures of structure are mostly because of the failure of foundations. Foundation is that the most vital a part of the structure. The strength and sturdiness of any structure depends upon the strength of its foundation. The most objective of this study is to style an appropriate and feasible foundation for the black cotton soil for 220KN electrical substation structure using software analysis. This study discussed during which sort of foundation is suitable for 220KN electrical substation in black cotton soil.

Published: June 2022

Green computing is the study and practice of designing, manufacturing, using,. Servers, and associated subsystems—such as monitors, printers, storage devices, and networking and communications systems—efficiently and effectively with minimal or no impact on the environment. Green computing whose goals are to reduce the use of hazardous materials, maximize energy efficiency during the product's lifetime, and promote the recyclability or biodegradability of defunct products and factory waste. During the last two decades has led to generation of a huge amount of electronic wastes resulting in soil, water and environmental pollutions. Thus pollution control and environmental safety has become the greatest concern of environmental scientists and activists worldwide. Dumping of electronic wastes, one of the by-products of this urbanization process has become a major problem in our society. Because these wastes are not biodegradable, gradual deposition of these e-wastes leads to accumulation of various toxic metals like lead, cadmium etc. and contaminates the soil and the ground water. Ground water contamination in turn, affects the plant animal and the living system as a whole causing severe health hazards and disorders. This paper presents at various sources of e-wastes, their effects, E-waste, Health Risks, Recycling and several green initiatives.

Clinical outcomes of patients with COVID-19 and inflammatory rheumatic diseases receiving biological/targeted therapy
Authors: Pehlivan Özlem , Aydin Tutku
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND:

Anti-cytokine treatments are used in the treatment of severe COVID-19. Other studies have shown statistical significance with TNF inhibitors but not with other biological/targeted synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (b/tsDMARD).

OBJECTIVES:

Compare the rate of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-COV-2) infection and the course and incidence of COVID-19 infection in patients who received b/tsDMARD with control patients.

DESIGN:

Analytical cross-sectional

SETTINGS:

Tertiary care hospital

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

All patients who applied to the rheumatology outpatient clinic between June 2020-March 2021 and received b/tsDMARD were included in the study. All patients with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and spondyloarthritis who applied to the rheumatology outpatient clinic in the three months before March 2021 and did not receive b/tsDMARD were included as the control group. History of COVID-19 infection and treatments were recorded. Multivariate analysis was performed to assess factors associated with use of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors and differences between specific biologic drugs.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:

Rate of COVID-19 disease among patients using biological/targeted synthetic therapy and non-biological/targeted synthetic therapy. COVID-19 clinical outcomes (hospitalization, intensive care admission, mechanical ventilation and death).

SAMPLE SIZE:

553 in total; 341 received b/tsDMARD, 212 in the control group that did not receive b/tsDMARD.

RESULTS:

One hundred patients (18%) had been infected with SARS-COV-2. The difference in SARS-COV-2 infection between b/tsDMARD and the control was statistically significant (13, 2% vs. 25, 9%, respectively) (
P
<.001). The hospital stays were longer in the controls (
P
<.001). Multinomial regression analysis revealed that COVID-19 negative patients were more likely to use tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors (OR: 2, 911; 95% CI: 1.727-4.908;
P
<.001) compared to COVID-19 positive participants. Multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated that non-hospitalized patients were more likely to use TNF inhibitors (OR: 11, 006; 95% CI: 3.447-35.138;
P
<.001) and there was no significant difference between b/tsDMARDs other than TNF inhibitors in frequency of hospitalization.

CONCLUSIONS:

Patients who were medicated with b/tsDMARD were less likely to be infected with COVID-19 and be hospitalized due to the infection. We have found that this effect was particularly dependent on the use of TNF inhibitors.

LIMITATIONS:

Conducted in a single center and unable to provide a homogeneous study population.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST:

None.

Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND:

About 5-10% of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infected patients require critical care hospitalization and a variety of respiratory support, including invasive mechanical ventilation. Several nationwide studies from Saudi Arabia have identified common comorbidities but none were focused on mechanically ventilated patients in the Al-Ahsa region of Saudi Arabia.

OBJECTIVES:

Identify characteristics and risk factors for mortality in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients.

DESIGN:

Retrospective chart review

SETTING:

Two general hospitals in the Al-Ahsa region of Saudi Arabia

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

We included mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients (>18 years old) admitted between 1 May and 30 November 2020, in two major general hospitals in the Al-Ahsa region, Saudi Arabia. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize patients. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards (CPH) model was used exploratively to identify hazard ratios (HR) of predictors of mortality.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:

Patient characteristics, mortality rate, extubation rate, the need for re-intubation and clinical complications during hospitalization.

SAMPLE SIZE AND CHARACTERISTICS:

154 mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients with median (interquartile range) age of 60 (22) years; 65.6% male.

RESULTS:

Common comorbidities were diabetes (72.2%), hypertension (67%), cardiovascular disease (14.9%) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) (14.3%). In the multivariable CPH model, age >60 years old (HR=1.83, 95% CI 1.2-2.7,
P
=.002), CKD (1.61, 95% CI 0.9-2.6,
P
=.062), insulin use (HR=0.65, 95% CI 0.35-.08,
P
<.001), and use of loop diuretics (HR=0.51, 95% CI 0.4,
P
=.037) were major predictors of mortality.

CONCLUSION:

Common diseases in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients from the Al-Ahsa region were diabetes, hypertension, other cardiovascular diseases, and CKD in this exploratory analysis.

LIMITATIONS:

Retrospective, weak CPH model performance.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST:

None.
Prognosis of gastric adenocarcinoma associated with girdin, Akt, and cortactin
Authors: Zhang Yue , Liu Cheyan , Zhou Lei
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND:

The actin-binding protein girdin regulates tumor cell migration and invasion by maintaining actin structure. PI3K/Akt signaling is an important actin-remodeling pathway. The protein cortactin acts directly on microfilaments and promotes tumor invasion and metastasis by rearranging the cytoskeleton. However, there are few reports on the co-expression of girdin, Akt, and cortactin in gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC).

OBJECTIVES:

Evaluate girdin, Akt, and cortactin expression in GAC tissues and assess their relationship to the prognosis of GAC patients.

DESIGN:

Survival analysis

SETTING:

Medical college in China

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

We compared survival in 110 paraffin-preserved GAC with corresponding normal gastric mucosa tissues in relationship to girdin, Akt, and cortactin expression levels.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE:

Expression levels of the proteins.

SAMPLE SIZE:

110

RESULTS:

The expression of girdin, Akt, and cortactin were all upregulated in GAC tissues compared with corresponding normal tissues (66.4% vs 36.3%, 57.3% vs 28.2% and 69.1% vs 22.7%, respectively;
P
<.05) and expression was mutually positive (all
P
<.05). Overall survival in the girdin, Akt, and cortactin high expression groups was reduced. Multivariate analysis showed that girdin, Akt, cortactin, lymph node metastasis (LNM) and TNM stages were independent factors affecting GAC patients prognosis (
P
<.05).

CONCLUSIONS:

Girdin and cortactin may promote GAC invasion and metastasis via the PI3-K/Akt signaling pathway. Girdin, Akt, and cortactin co-expression might serve as a novel molecular target for GAC therapy and improve the prognosis of patients with this disease.

LIMITATIONS:

A small sample size and lack of related research on molecular mechanisms.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST:

None.
