Authors: Ibrahim Gani Nur Anisa , Habil Hadina
Published: July 2024

Websites are commonly regarded as valuable educational resources that extend beyond the confines of the traditional classroom setting. The primary challenge lies in the identification of reputable online sources. The aforementioned concept underscores the imperative necessity of conducting website evaluations. The use of methodological frameworks as an evaluative instrument can effectively examine the potential of a website within a specific context, as frameworks possess descriptive qualities. Despite the extensive body of studies done concerning website evaluation, there are still a significant number of unresolved issues. Therefore, in order to address these significant deficiencies, this qualitative study aims to evaluate the efficacy of an English Language Learning (ELL) website by examining its technical and pedagogical dimensions. The LearnEnglish Kids website was chosen due to its adherence to all of the screening criteria. The evaluation process was conducted in accordance with the methodological framework. Despite the limitations identified, the LearnEnglish Kids proves to be a suitable English Language Learning (ELL) website for integration within the Malaysian educational context. The examination of the six evaluation aspects provides a comprehensive guide for the Ministry of Education in the development of open educational resources (OER) for primary school students in Malaysia.

Tail Morphology of Near-Sun Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE)
Authors: Zhou Yihao , Ye 叶 Quanzhi 泉志
Published: July 2024

We study the morphological changes of bright near-Sun comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) using a series of multi-color wide-field images obtained in 2020 July 8–30, as the comet receded from 0.3 to 0.8 au from the Sun. Syndyne–synchrone modeling shows that the dusts that makes up the visible tail were mostly produced at and after perihelion. The images show changes of dust size distribution throughout the observations, with a gradual depletion of micron-sized particles. We discuss caveats in using the syndyne–synchrone model to study tail dynamics of comets at small perihelion distances. The r-band images consistently show a straight, non-dust tail throughout our observations that is likely to be made by neutral sodium atoms and H2O+ molecules.
Classification of dementia from spoken speech using feature selection and the bag of acoustic words model
Authors: Niemelä Marko , von Bonsdorff Mikaela , Äyrämö Sami , Kärkkäinen Tommi
Published: July 2024

Memory disorders and dementia are a central factor in the decline of functioning and daily activities in older individuals. The workload related to standardized speech tests in clinical settings has led to a growing emphasis on developing automatic machine learning techniques for analyzing naturally spoken speech. This study presented a bag of acoustic words approach for distinguishing dementia patients from control individuals based on audio speech recordings. In this approach, each individual's speech was segmented into voiced periods, and these segments were characterized by acoustic features using the open-source openSMILE library. Word histogram representations were formed from the characterized speech segments of each speaker, which were used for classifying subjects. The formation of word histograms involved a clustering phase where feature vectors were quantized. It is well-known that partitional clustering involves instability in clustering results due to the selection of starting points, which can cause variability in classification outcomes. This study aimed to address instability by utilizing robust K-spatial-medians clustering, efficient K-means$ ++ $ clustering initialization, and selecting the smallest clustering error from repeated clusterings. Additionally, the study employed feature selection based on the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to achieve computational efficiency in the methods. The results showed that it is possible to achieve a consistent 75% classification accuracy using only twenty-five features, both with the external ADReSS 2020 test data and through leave-one-subject-out cross-validation of the entire dataset. The results rank at the top compared to international research, where the same dataset and only acoustic features have been used to diagnose patients.

Authors: Mangwanda Khombe M.
Published: July 2024

It is a commonplace of African literary criticism that Dambudzo Marechera rejected nationalist identity. Yet, despite the constant interest in his writing, there has been little analysis of his representation of his nation. This paper examines texts by Marechera that portray Rhodesia/Zimbabwe as a concentration camp and, generally, a space of alienation Such portrayals are consistent with Marechera’s refusal to identify with his nation.
Contradiction in E.K. Brathwaite’s The Arrivants: the Healing Rhythms of the Mother
Authors: Delmaire Dominique
Published: July 2024

Contradiction in Brathwaite’s The Arrivants (1973) refers both to the predicament of his African ancestors sold as slaves and to the subversive attitude which they developed as a result, in the hope of securing more freedom, especially in the realm of speech. Systematic contra-diction, however, is a doomed and frustrating approach, the root of the problem being intrinsic to language rather than circumstantial. Only rhythm, and not lexis, can ultimately resolve the legacy of the past and salvage the poet’s genuine voice.

The Spectral Return of Depths in Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Unconsoled
Authors: François Pierre
Published: July 2024

The Unconsoled had a mixed reception, possibly because of the baffling narrative mode (‘oneiric realism’) which draws upon modernist strategies to indict the postmodernist rejection of depths (on the psychic plane) and community (on the social plane). However, through the chinks in the schizoid narrative, a post-colonial alternative (ethical and aesthetic) can be discerned for postmodernity’s alleged spiritual predicament.
Genre and Gender in Butterfly Burning: Yvonne Vera’s Elliptical Writing
Authors: Louviot Myriam
Published: July 2024

Set in the late 1940s in Southern Rhodesia, Yvonne Vera’s novel Butterfly Burning tells the tragic story of Phephelaphi, a young woman who tries to find her own voice and ends up burning herself. In order to express the feeling of incompleteness of the young woman, the author resorts to a form of writing based on silences, fragments and allusions. Yet what could threaten the coherence of the novel is counterbalanced by a construction that can also be called elliptical in the sense that several motifs and images draw ellipses throughout the text. Meaning is conveyed through a system of repetitions, echoes and variations that prevent it from falling apart. Through the analysis of this elliptical writing, the present paper questions the relationship between gender and postcolonial context.
White Form, Aboriginal Content: Philip McLaren’s Scream Black Murder
Authors: Ryan-Fazilleau Sue
Published: July 2024

The pun in the title of Philip McLaren’s Scream Black Murder could indicate that this is a conventional crime novel in which the victims are black or that his intentions are militant; or both. In this novel McLaren uses a sub-genre of crime fiction as a vehicle for his activist Aboriginal message – the popular and sensational police procedure that centres around the crimes of a serial killer. This article studies the way in which he exploits the conventions of this sub-genre of Western literature to reinforce the impact of his post-colonial message.
Gender and Epic in Syl Cheney-Coker’s The Last Harmattan of Alusine Dunbar
Authors: Whyte Philip
Published: July 2024

Syl Cheney-Coker’s novel is fraught with a number of tensions. A plea for women’s rights in the context of colonial oppression, the novel, as a foundation epic, also tends to fall back on a more traditional conception of women as propagators of the family line. At the same time, the novel’s heavy reliance on magic properties, though justified in terms of the aesthetic codes specific to the epic genre, serves to underline the problematic character of the author’s attempt to reconcile a positive image of the new nations forged by former slaves on the African coast with the stark realities of contemporary West Africa.
‘Not His, But Her Story’. The Place of Women in Derek Walcott’s Poetry
Authors: Macarie Gilles
Published: July 2024

In Walcott’s poetry, women who remain confined within the domestic sphere or are made to play peripheral roles. If a postcolonial approach implies an acknowledgement of who you really are, an attempt to construct a new identity beyond the clichés imposed by the colonising forces, Walcott’s viewpoint is still framed by traditional patriarchal patterns.

Authors: Yan Tieyi , Wu Jiaxi , Kumar Munish , Zhou Yan
Published: July 2024

The rapid process of urbanization and industrial development has raised significant concerns regarding the presence and management of hazardous substances. However, conventional methods employed for identifying hazardous substances and monitoring urban safety often suffer from low efficiency and accuracy. This paper proposes a novel approach that combines deep learning and genetic algorithms, which utilizes the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory model to capture temporal features in hazardous substance data and introduces the Attention Mechanism for weighted processing of crucial information, thereby improving recognition capability. Genetic Algorithms are employed to optimize the performance and generalization capacity of the deep learning model. Experimental validation demonstrates that the proposed approach achieves higher accuracy and faster processing speed, effectively enhancing urban safety monitoring. This research holds practical implications for urban safety management and accident prevention, offering an innovative solution to guarantee urban safety.

Authors: Hong Boohwi , Lee Dong-Kyu
Published: July 2024

Noninferiority clinical trials are crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of new interventions compared to standard interventions. By establishing statistical and clinical comparability, these trials can be conducted to demonstrate that a new intervention is not significantly inferior to the standard intervention. However, selecting appropriate noninferiority margins and study designs are essential to ensuring valid and reliable results. Moreover, employing the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement for reporting noninferiority clinical trials enhances the quality and transparency of research findings. This article addresses key considerations and challenges faced by investigators in planning, conducting, and interpreting the results of noninferiority clinical trials.

Celem niniejszej pracy było dokonanie analiz i interpretacji, które ujawnią potencjał poznawczy trzech powieści: Lalki Bolesława Prusa, Bez dogmatu Henryka Sienkiewicza oraz Bene nati Elizy Orzeszkowej. Już samo zestawienie tych pozycji może się wydać nieoczywiste, dlatego domaga się odpowiedniego uzasadnienia. Abstrahując od niemal identycznej natury wątku głównego trzech dzieł, można by określić ich genus proximum et differentiam specificam w obrębie ogólnych założeń, z których wyrasta poetyka narracji realistycznej.

AN OBSERVATIONAL PROSPECTIVE STUDY FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF GRIDHRASI
Authors: Mohanan Geethu , Nair C. Raghunathan , Valsalan Pravini
Published: July 2024

Gridhrasi is one of the most common debilitating diseases of all age groups, affecting the physical, mental, and social life of patients. Ayurveda offers a lot of possibilities for musculoskeletal ailments, and Gridhrasi is not an exception. Gridhrasi is one among the Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi where dysfunction of Vata dosha manifests as low back pain which radiates to the lower limbs, accompanied by stiffness and a pricking type of pain. Gridhrasi's symptoms closely resemble the clinical features of Sciatica in modern science where pain, weak-ness, numbness and other discomforts along the path of the sciatic nerve are often accompanied with low back pain. Contemporary conservative treatments offer only temporary relief, and surgical options cannot eliminate the associated complications. Acharya Charaka has provided three limb treatment techniques for Gridhrasi. This classical intervention has yet to be previously attempted, and thus, this study aims to establish the effec-tiveness of these treatments for Gridhrasi. Since Gridhrasi significantly impacts patients' physical, mental, and social well-being, there is a compelling need to identify a suitable and cost-effective cure, making it the focal point of this research. The three limbs are namely Basti, Siravyadha and Agnikarma. Basti is regarded as So-dhana Chikitsa where, whereas Siravyadha and Agnikarma are Anusalya Chikitsa. Thus, in this study, the clas-sical reference of Acharya Charaka’s treatment principle of Gridhrasi was taken, and a conceptual three-arm survey including these three treatment modalities was done. The outcome of the study is expected to generate clinical evidence on the effect of three individual treatments in Gridhrasi.

Ayurveda is an ancient system of medicine which is having widespread evidence of scientific practices to validate
the science. It’s not just a medical system in the traditional sense of treating illnesses but also teaches us the way
of life. The body has its own expressions which are silent signals or languages given to us to convey the message.
These are generated by the smart system of our body as disease. Our minds should be ready to understand and
respond as well. These expressions/factors are explained by our classics as “Ashtamahavarjyakara Bhavas”.
Even though these factors are mainly highlighted concerning Shodhana or Panchakarma therapies also play a key
role in present-day lifestyle disorders. According to World Health Organisation, 60% of factors influencing an
individual’s health and quality of life are linked to lifestyle. The relationship between lifestyle and health should
be highly considered. The reformation of this unhealthy lifestyle is the prevention factor for decreasing the rate of
disease. The Majority of Diseases are caused by these factors forcefully initiating or by the continuous influence
of these factors on the body. The magnitude of understanding these Bhavas has been discussed and hence present
article is trying to explain its consequence in day-to-day practice and its effect on the present lifestyle.

Published: July 2024

Introdução: A macroglossia decorrente de amiloidose sistêmica é uma condição na qual a língua aumenta de tamanho devido ao depósito de proteínas amiloides nos tecidos. A amiloidose sistêmica é uma doença caracterizada pelo acúmulo anormal dessas proteínas em vários órgãos e tecidos do corpo, o que pode levar a disfunção de órgãos e sintomas variados, dependendo dos locais afetados. Quando a amiloidose afeta a língua, ela pode levar ao aumento significativo do tamanho da língua, resultando em macroglossia. Objetivo: Discorrer sobre amiloidose e macroglossia, abordando seus aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos, diagnósticos, terapêuticos e prognósticos. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos: Este trabalho foi uma pesquisa bibliográfica, por meio de uma revisão integrativa da literatura. Os critérios de inclusão definidos para a seleção dos artigos foram artigos publicados nos idiomas português e inglês, com resumos disponíveis na biblioteca virtual PubMed e Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde; e artigos publicados a partir de 2017. Resultados e Discussão: Foi descrito o caso de um paciente que apresentou aumento progressivo da língua, dificuldade na mastigação e fala comprometida. Após investigação clínica e histopatológica, foi estabelecido o diagnóstico de amiloidose sistêmica como causa subjacente da macroglossia. Além do relato de caso, foi realizada uma revisão de literatura abrangendo os aspectos clínicos, diagnóstico e manejo da amiloidose sistêmica, com foco especial nas manifestações orais. Conclusão: Destaca-se a importância da avaliação multidisciplinar e do tratamento individualizado para pacientes com essa condição, visando melhorar a qualidade de vida e minimizar as complicações associadas.
Síndrome da embolia gordurosa secundária ao uso de polimetilmetacrilato na bioplastia: uma revisão sistemática
Authors: Silva Robson Ferreira Porto da , Tátero Gabriela Rigoleto , Siqueira Bianca Alves , Barbosa Karolinne Kassia Silva , Cabette Filho Nélio Nunes
Published: July 2024

Introdução: A síndrome da embolia gordurosa (SEG) é uma complicação rara, mas grave, que pode ocorrer secundária ao uso de polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA) em procedimentos de bioplastia. Essa condição resulta da presença de gordura nos vasos sanguíneos, podendo levar a sérios problemas respiratórios, neurológicos e cutâneos. O presente artigo tem por objetivo realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre a síndrome da embolia gordurosa associada ao uso de PMMA na bioplastia, analisando sua etiopatogenia, diagnóstico, tratamento e prevenção. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos: Para a elaboração deste artigo de revisão, foram consultados artigos científicos publicados entre 2020 e 2024, referenciados nas bases de dados PubMed, Scopus e SciELO. Foram incluídos estudos de caso, revisões e artigos originais que abordassem a relação entre SEG e PMMA. Resultados e discussão: Evidências mostram que a SEG é frequentemente subdiagnosticada devido à falta de sintomas específicos e ao desconhecimento da condição por parte dos profissionais de saúde. O diagnóstico é clínico, baseado na exclusão de outras causas e na presença de sintomas compatíveis. As estratégias de tratamento incluem suporte respiratório, uso de corticosteroides e medidas de suporte geral. A prevenção é fundamental, envolvendo a seleção criteriosa dos pacientes, a técnica adequada de injeção e o uso de menores volumes de PMMA. Considerações finais: A conscientização sobre a síndrome da embolia gordurosa e a adoção de medidas preventivas são essenciais para reduzir a incidência e melhorar o manejo dessa complicação. A formação contínua dos profissionais de saúde e a realização de mais estudos sobre o tema são recomendadas.
Drenagem biliar endoscópica ecoguiada: revisão da literatura
Authors: Barbosa Vinícius Araújo , Sousa Carolina Caldeira de , Guerra Luís Eduardo Cury , Floresta Isabela Zabisky , Rampanelli Gabriela
Published: July 2024

Introdução: O manejo das diversas neoplasias da via biliar constitui um desafio no âmbito atual, visto que são patologias que, muitas vezes, têm seu diagnóstico firmado tardiamente. Os pacientes normalmente não apresentam sintomas nas fases iniciais da doença, tornando-se sintomáticos quando há algum grau de obstrução da via biliar, manifestando sintomas de colestase, como icterícia, acolia fecal e prurido, podendo evoluir para colangite em alguns casos. Quando há algum grau obstrutivo, faz-se necessária a drenagem do conteúdo da via biliar, sendo indicada a colangiopancreatografia endoscópica retrógrada (CPRE). Mesmo apresentando alta eficácia, como alternativa ao insucesso da CPRE, a drenagem biliar endoscópica ecoguiada (DBEE) se apresenta como uma das escolhas. O presente artigo tem por objetivo realizar uma revisão de literatura do conhecimento atual sobre a drenagem biliar endoscópica ecoguiada. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos: Para a elaboração deste artigo de revisão, foram consultados artigos científicos e de revisão publicados e referenciados na Medline/PubMED, que estão disponíveis de forma gratuita em seu texto completo, dos últimos cinco anos (2019-2024). Resultados e discussão: Dentre as técnicas da DBEE, destacam-se a Hepatogastrostomia ecoguiada (HGE), a drenagem anterógrada da via biliar extra-hepática (rendez-vous) e a coledocoduodenostomia endoscópica ecoguiada (CDT). As taxas de sucesso variam de 87% a 91,5%, enquanto as complicações estão presentes em 17% a 23% dos casos dos pacientes submetidos à DBEE. Considerações finais: Para a desobstrução das vias biliares causadas por neoplasias, em caso de falha da CPRE, a DBEE se apresenta como uma alternativa com alta taxa de sucesso e baixas taxas de complicações, por ser um método pouco invasivo e resolutivo.

Published: July 2024

INTRODUÇÃO: Papilomas escamoso são tumores epiteliais benignos que apresentam maior incidência em boca e região genital. A ocorrência deste tipo histológico em orelha média é rara. Sua etiologia ainda é desconhecida, sendo relacionado a presença de infecções recorrentes, efeitos alergênicos, poluentes e infecções virais, tendo como principais Epstein Baar Vírus (EBV) e Papiloma Vírus Humano (HPV). OBJETIVO: O presente artigo tem por objetivo uma revisão de literatura do conhecimento atual sobre os papilomas escamosos e seu acometimento de orelha média. MATERIAIS, SUJEITOS E MÉTODOS: Para a elaboração deste artigo de revisão foram consultados artigos científicos e artigos de revisão publicados e referenciados na Medline/PubMED, SciELO e Cochrane entre 2014 e junho de 2024. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: Observa-se que o papiloma escamoso de orelha média é uma patologia que acomete homens, na faixa etária de 60 anos e tem otorreia como uma das queixas mais frequentes, associada a sintomas de otalgia e plenitude auricular.  É uma lesão que apresenta caráter de potencial evolução maligna e recidivante, necessitando da abordagem cirúrgica como técnica terapêutica. A exérese da lesão é fator determinante no prognóstico e redução das taxas de recidivas, bem como o cuidado contínuo dos pacientes a longo prazo. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS: O papiloma escamoso de orelha média é uma patologia ainda em investigação. Estabelecer a correlação de fatores causais, bem como o papel do HPV na fisiopatologia da doença é um caminho a ser trilhado.
