The role of multimodal metaphors in the creation of the fake news category: a proposal for analysis / A atuação das metáforas multimodais na criação da categoria fake news: uma proposta de análise
Authors: Sperandio Natália Elvira
Published: May 2020

Abstract: Almost forty years ago, the proposal of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory represented a milestone for Cognitive Linguistics studies. From this point, many pieces of research were developed around the analytical category of metaphor. However, the majority of these papers are still in the monomodal field, intending to build a concept resulting from the source and target domains that come specifically from the verbal structures. Taking this into consideration, this paper intends to focus on the metaphorical occurrence in diverse semiotic modes that constitute multimodal texts. In order to fulfill this aim, we outlined a corpus of five editorial cartoons about “fake news”. Our specific objective is to, making use of the concept of multimodal metaphors proposed by Forceville (1996, 2009), presented how the different semiotic modes, in this case the verbal and the visual ones, are interwoven in the building of these metaphors. In this way, in our study, besides validating the thesis proposed by Forceville (2009) about the occurrence of metaphors not only in the verbal mode, it was also possible to verify the importance of multimodal metaphors for the meaning construction process in the analyzed genre.Keywords: metaphors; multimodal metaphors; fake news.Resumo: Há quase quarenta anos atrás um marco nos estudos da Linguística Cognitiva, em especial em sua semântica, ocorreu: a proposta da Teoria da Metáfora Conceitual. A partir desse trabalho, muitas pesquisas foram desenvolvidas em torno da categoria analítica da metáfora. Porém, grande parte desses trabalhos ainda encontra-se no campo dos denominados textos monomodais, visando apenas a construção conceitual resultante de domínios fonte e alvo oriundos especificamente do modo verbal. Diante disso, o presente artigo propõe-se a promover um trabalho dedicado à ocorrência metafórica nos diferentes modos semióticos que constituem os textos multimodais. Para cumprirmos tal objetivo, delineamos como corpus cinco charges que versam sobre o conceito fake news. Nosso objetivo específico consiste em apresentar, através do conceito de metáforas multimodais, proposto por Forceville (1996, 2009), a forma pela qual diferentes modos semióticos, nesse caso em especial o verbal e o imagético, imbricaram-se na construção dessas metáforas. Assim, em nosso estudo, além de vislumbrarmos a validação da proposição de Forceville (2009) sobre a não ocorrência do processo metafórico apenas no modo verbal, foi possível a verificação da importância das metáforas multimodais para a construção dos sentidos do gênero em análise.Palavras-chave: metáforas; metáfora multimodal; fake news.
Multimodal metaphors: from language as a condition to text to the notion of texture as a meaning-making semiotic resource
Authors: Gualberto Clarice , Santos Záira , Meira Ana Clara
Published: May 2020

Abstract: In this paper, we attempt to provide some ways of thinking about text, relating it to the concept of metaphors, multimodality and texture. Our aim is to develop new insights in meaning making and communication more generally, by bringing examples of memes; a relatively new genre, often seen on social media posts. To do so, we discuss the notion of text (HALLIDAY; HASAN, 2002; BEAUGRANDE, 1997; KRESS, 2010) and then, we discuss texture as a semiotic resource for the production of texts and its metaphors (DJONOV; VAN LEEUWEN, 2011). To exemplify some concepts and categories, we explore memes, seeking to understand their constitution as well as their qualities and potential meanings of visual textures deployed in the text to make meaning material through multimodal metaphors.Keywords: text; texture; social semiotics; multimodal metaphors.Resumo: Neste artigo, pretendemos propor algumas maneiras para se pensar a noção de texto, relacionando-a aos conceitos de metáfora, multimodalidade e textura. Nosso objetivo é desenvolver novos insights a respeito da produção de sentido e da comunicação de forma geral. Como exemplo, trazemos  memes com o bordão “É verdade esse bilete”. Como esse gênero é relativamente novo e frequentemente visto em posts nas redes sociais, discutimos a noção de texto (HALLIDAY; HASAN, 2002; BEAUGRANDE, 1997; KRESS, 2010) e de textura como um recurso semiótico para a produção de textos e suas metáforas (DJONOV; VAN LEEUWEN, 2011). Para exemplificar algumas noções e categorias, exploramos os memes, buscando compreender como eles se constituem, assim como suas qualidades e seus possíveis sentidos de texturas visuais utilizadas para produção de metáforas multimodais.Palavras-chave: texto; textura; semiótica social; metáforas multimodais.
Metaphoric semiosis: a Peircean perspective / Semiose metafórica: uma perspectiva peirceana
Authors: Jungk Isabel Victoria Galleguillos
Published: May 2020

Abstract: This article presents how metaphoric semiosis develops from the perspective of Peircean semiotics. The study takes as theoretical framework the general foundations of metaphor as described by classical theories, its recognized cognitive nature and the theory of signs developed by Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914) based on his three phenomenological categories. This is on the assumption that the application of Peirce’s broad conceptual tools – philosophical and semiotic – to his concept of metaphor as a hypoicon and its subdivisions constitutes an original and dynamic theory of metaphor, capable of operationalizing integrated analyzes of multimodal aspects of metaphor. In conclusion, considerations are made about the truth value of a good metaphor according to Peircean theoretical framework.Keywords: metaphor; semiotics; meaning; cognition; iconicity; multimodality. Resumo: Este artigo apresenta a forma como se desenvolve a semiose metafórica sob a perspectiva da semiótica peirceana. O estudo toma como quadro teórico os fundamentos gerais da metáfora descritos pelas teóricas clássicas, sua reconhecida natureza cognitiva e a teoria dos signos desenvolvida por Charles S. Peirce com base em suas três categorias fenomenológicas. Parte-se do pressuposto de que a aplicação do amplo instrumental conceitual de Peirce, tanto filosófico como semiótico, a seu conceito de metáfora como hipoícone e suas subdivisões constitui uma teoria original e dinâmica da metáfora, capaz de operacionalizar análises integradas de aspectos multimodais da metáfora. À guisa de conclusão, são tecidas considerações sobre o valor de verdade de uma boa metáfora de acordo com o quadro teórico peirceano.Palavras-chave: metáfora; semiótica; significação; cognição; iconicidade; multimodalidade.
#ODU2ODU: Testing the Benefits of a Partnership Between Sport Management Classrooms
Authors: O'Hallarn Brendan , Strode James
Published: May 2020

As sport management pedagogy has evolved, an effort has been made to incorporate popular and innovative social media technologies into classroom instruction. Academic research has suggested how the technology can be utilized to provide real-world skills for students and develop proficiencies in an area where many sport management graduates find employment. Notable among the recommendations about social media use by sport management scholars is a lack of research testing the efficacy of these tools in improving curricula. The current study relied on the recommendations of Sanderson and Browning (2015) to use the social media site Twitter to create online partnerships, testing the perceived benefits of such an arrangement through end-of-semester surveys with student participants. While the survey data show a true partnership may be difficult to realize—particularly during a single semester—the benefits of such an assignment were clearly articulated.
Taphonomic Implications of a Crinoid from Echinoderm-Poor Lithofacies in the Upper Ordovician (Katian: Cincinnatian) of Northern Kentucky
Authors: Thomka James R. , Malgieri Thomas J. , Popovich-Martin Kailyn M. , Brett Carlton E.
Published: May 2020

Crinoids (Phylum Echinodermata) represent major components of fossil assemblages in the type Cincinnatian (Upper Ordovician: Katian) of the greater Cincinnati Arch region. However, certain shallow marine lithofacies are characterized by a nonexistent to depauperate crinoid fauna, being instead dominated by trilobites, bryozoans, mollusks, and in some layers solenoporid algae? and stromatoporoids. One such setting is represented by the Grant Lake Formation, equivalent to the upper Corryville and Mount Auburn members of the McMillan Formation of Ohio, as exposed south of Flemingsburg, Fleming County, northern Kentucky. Described herein is an articulated crinoid crown (Anomalocrinus?) from this otherwise crinoid-poor interval. This occurrence may reflect either (1) a brief interval where conditions were more amenable to occupation by crinoids, possibly corresponding to a minor flooding surface, or (2) transportation of skeletal remains from nearby, deeper offshore areas that contained crinoids in greater abundance. The second interpretation seems more likely given the absence of in situ attachment structures and rarity of disarticulated column material at the study site. This study illustrates the value of echinoderm remains in paleoenvironmental analysis, the significance of crinoidal material in taphonomic interpretation of Paleozoic argillaceous carbonate deposits, and the sensitivity of crinoid fossils as indicators of allochthony or autochthony.

België verdeeld
Authors: Engelen Leen
Published: May 2020

In de oorlogsjaren kende bezet België een relatief divers amusementsleven waarin ook bioscopen een belangrijke rol speelden. Aan het begin van de oorlog sloot een behoorlijk aantal zalen de deuren, maar in de meeste steden vonden vanaf het tweede oorlogsjaar opnieuw regelmatig filmvertoningen plaats. Al gauw werd de bioscoop een van de populairste uitgaansplekken. De grote vraag naar filmamusement zette de bioscoopeigenaars echter op prangende wijze onder druk. De internationale situatie en het Duitse cultuur- en filmbeleid dat in de loop van de oorlogsjaren steeds strakker vorm kreeg, had de filmdistributiesector immers volledig op z'n kop gezet. Door importbepalingen, logistieke problemen en censuur werd de Belgische markt de facto afgesloten van de belangrijkste vooroorlogse filmleveranciers (Frankrijk, Italië). Het belangrijkste gevolg daarvan was een gebrek aan recente en lange speelfilms, waaraan de import vanuit Duitsland en in beperktere mate vanuit Nederland en Denemarken slechts gedeeltelijk tegemoet kwam. Belangrijke verschuivingen in de Belgische distributiesector waren het gevolg van het Duitse filmbeleid. Archiefbronnen werpen tevens een licht op hoe Belgische distributeurs en vertoners schipperden tussen economische rendabiliteit, patriottisme en de steeds strakkere Duitse regelgeving.
A State Cinematographic Practice in Wartime
Authors: Rochet Bénédicte
Published: May 2020

Mass media widely disseminated iconographic representations of the war. In this profusion of images, the behaviour of state authorities changed, while they had previously looked down on these two types of media. The alleged power of images led belligerents to take control of war pictures which circulated in newspapers or in newsreels. Both the reputation of the Army, and, behind it, that of the Nation, were at stake. At the beginning of the war the image of Poor Little Belgium was an effective symbol that was largely fuelled by Allied propaganda and one-off Belgian initiatives. Nevertheless, when the Belgian Army was mentioned in Allied propaganda, the soldiers looked pitiful and exhausted. Because it was growing increasingly worried of this feeble image, the Belgian government decided in 1916 to change course and to coordinate its propaganda efforts to propagate a favourable portrayal of Belgium as a tenacious belligerent nation and equally worthy ally. The Belgian Army Film Unit, established in 1916, was part of this development. Her task was to shoot images of the Belgian Army in action and of its soldiers under the leadership of their commander-in-chief, King Albert and his wife Queen Elisabeth. A state cinematographic practice developed for the first time in Belgium, in the form of a rigorously controlled military film production. This article aims sketching a first approach to this Belgian Army Film Unit and to its filmic sources. The goal is to understand why the Belgian War Department gradually established an Army film unit and how it used its filmic production to write its own history at the Yser front.
Motieven om oorlogsdoden te tonen in de pers
Authors: Cachet Tamar
Published: May 2020

Het geloof dat gruwelijke beelden in de media altijd choqueren is wijdverspreid. Met foto’s van oorlogsdoden die honderd jaar geleden, tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog, in de geïllustreerde pers verschenen, argumenteert dit artikel dat een verschrikkelijk beeld nooit tot slechts één mogelijke interpretatie leidt. Op Foucaultiaanse wijze gaat de aandacht uit naar het discours dat de betekenis van deze foto’s bepaalde. Aan de hand van een praktische methodologie ontleent aan het framing paradigma, worden vijf geïllustreerde magazines als casestudy geanalyseerd: Le Miroir uit Frankrijk, The War Illustrated (TWI) uit Groot-Brittannië, Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung (BIZ) uit Duitsland, 1914 Illustré uit België en Het Leven Geïllustreerd uit Nederland. Uit deze casestudy blijkt dat de pers niet alleen vandaag maar ook honderd jaar geleden gruwelijke foto’s publiceerde met een breed scala aan motieven. Choqueren was daar slechts één van.

Fracturas de epitróclea: serie de casos en un hospital pediátrico
Authors: Vergara Amador Enrique , Castellar Torres Yimer
Published: May 2020

Las fracturas de la epitróclea representan el 11 al 20% de las lesiones en codo en población pediátrica y aproximadamente el 50% se asocia a luxación en el codo, siendo la incarceración menos frecuente. El objetivo del trabajo es describir los resultados funcionales de una serie de pacientes con fractura de epitróclea. Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo y retrospectivo de pacientes pediátricos con fracturas de epitróclea, atendidos en un hospital pediátrico. Se revisaron las historias clínicas y los datos fueron analizados en Excel. El estudio fue aprobado por el comité de ética del hospital. Se tomaron 42 casos de los cuales 39 cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. La edad media fue 11.3 años (4-16 años). El 77% fueron operados y la fractura se asoció a luxación del codo en el 25.6%. El 7.6% de los casos tuvieron neuroapraxia de nervio cubital con recuperación espontánea. La fractura de la epitróclea se observa en población pediátrica involucrada en actividades de alto rendimiento. Puede ocurrir falla en diagnóstico debido a la compleja osificación del codo y también a la superposición de imagen de la epitróclea con la tróclea humeral. Se asocia con luxación del codo entre un 25 a 50% de los casos. El tratamiento de esta fractura es ortopédico o quirúrgico. Las tasas de consolidación en ambos tratamientos son similares

Authors: Fatahi Farzaneh , Hajisadeghian Narjes , Hajiabolhassan Fahimeh , Zamiri Abdollahi Farzaneh , Jalaie Shohreh
Published: May 2020

Background and Aim: Teachers’ evaluation of aural/oral performance of children (TEACH) scale is one of the scales used for assessing hearing-impaired children’s behaviors in real-life environments, regardless of the degree of hearing loss. The aim of the present study was development, determining validity and reliabi­lity of the Persian TEACH (P-TEACH) in normal-hearing and hearing-impaired children.
Methods: The TEACH scale was translated and cross-culturally adapted. After verifying the face validity of the scale, P-TEACH was performed on 40 normal-hearing and 42 hearing-impaired and its’ results were compared with the Persian parents' evaluation of aural/oral performance of children (P-PEACH). The test-retest reli­ability of P-TEACH was evaluated after two weeks on 10 subjects who were selected rando­mly.
Results: Content validity index for item 3 was 0.8 and for others were 1. P-TEACH scores showed a significant difference between two groups (p < 0.001). There was a strong corre­lation between P-TEACH and P-PEACH scores (r = 0.59 to 0.87; p < 0.05). Cronbach's α for
P-TEACH was 0.75 -0.98 for both groups. There was a significant correlation between children’s age and total score of P-TEACH in normal-hearing and hearing-impaired chil­dren (r = 0.40 and 0.41 respectively; p ≤ 0.001). There was a significant correlation between test and retest of P-TEACH (r = 0.87 to 0.97; < 0.001).
Conclusion: P-TEACH is a well-adapted valid and reliable tool for functional evaluation of the auditory performance of hearing-impaired children. The study showed that the P-TEACH has a strong agreement with the P-PEACH.

Authors: Eyvazi Mostafa , Pourbakht Akram , Sameni Seyyed Jalal , Kamali Mohammad
Published: May 2020

Background and Aim: Electrocochleography is one of the most practically used tests in app­roaching Meniere's disease (MD). To record reli­able response components, the type of applied electrode is of particular importance. The TIP-trode is an appropriate electrode due to its user-friendliness. Gutter electrode can be used in more than 100 subject. This study aimed to com­pare the results of the Electrocochleography (ECochG) test responses using TIP-trode and the Gutter electrode.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was perfor­med on 20 normal subjects and 20 patients with MD, who referred to the Audiology Clinic of Iran University of Medical Sciences. The ECochG response components were randomly recorded with TIP-trode and Gutter-electrode consecu­tively, and then statistical analysis was accomp­lished.
Results: The mean impedance, action potential, and summation potential amplitudes were not significantly different between normal subjects and people with MD by using two types of elec­trodes. Moreover, the mean scores of summation potential/action potential (SP/AP) ratio of the Gutter electrode were higher than that of the TIP-trod. The mean SP/AP ratio between two types of electrodes was statistically significant differences in normal subjects (p = 0.027) and in MD group (p = 0.009).
Conclusion: We demonstrated that the utili­zation of the Gutter electrode in ECochG assess­ments was considerably effective and beneficial. It can significantly reduce expenses and be app­lied in clinical settings. It’s also recommended that 47.22% mean SP/AP amplitude ratio to be considered as upper limit of normality by using the Gutter electrode.

The Effect of Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension on Weight, Body Composition, and Blood Pressure of Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Authors: Khoshbakht Yadollah , Bidaki Reza , Hosseinzadeh Mahdieh , Mirzavandi Farhang , Salehi-Abargouei Amin
Published: May 2020

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common psychiatric disorders in children. Children with ADHD usually have low blood pressure and weight disorders. Therefore, the present randomized clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) on weight and blood pressure of children with ADHD.
Methods: In this research, 86 children aged 6 to 12 years with diagnosed ADHD according to Conner’s Teacher's Questionnaire and DSM-4 criteria were investigated. Participants were randomly assigned into two groups to receive a DASH diet and a control diet for 12 weeks. Participants' anthropometric indices, blood pressure, physical activity, and dietary compliance were evaluated each month. Adherence to the diet was studied using a three-day food report completed by the participants' parents.
Results: A total of 80 children completed the study (40 in each group). No significant difference was observed in any of the weight composition indices measured before and after the intervention between the study groups (P > 0.05). No significant difference was reported in the systolic and diastolic blood pressure between the study groups at the baseline. However, diastolic blood pressure increased in the DASH group significantly compared to the control group (P = 0.02).
Conclusion: The DASH diet might increase the diastolic blood pressure in children with ADHD. Further studies with a longer follow-up period are necessary to confirm these results.

Published: May 2020

Background: Newborn birth weight is an important indicator for determining the health status of the human societies. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the critical factors affecting the newborn anthropometric indices in the health centers of Borujerd city, Iran.
Methods: This case-control study was conducted from September 2016 to June 2017. The participants included 22 infants with low birth weight (LBW) and 44 with normal birth weight (NBW). The demographic questionnaire and food frequency questionnaire were applied to collect data. For statistical analysis, SPSS version 16 was run and the significance level was set at P-value < 0.05. For comparing the quantitative variables between the case and control groups, the independent t-test and Chi-square test were performed.
Results: The results indicated that mothers older than 35 years, self-employed fathers, pre-pregnancy, mothers' body mass index of more than 25 kg/m2, first pregnancy, pregnancy surveillance of less than four times, irregular consumption of folic acid, iron, and multi-vitamins during pregnancy, as well as inadequate consumption of meat, legumes, nuts, milk, dairy products, and vegetables during the pregnancy could increase the risk of LBW among infants significantly.
Conclusion: Mothers' nutritional status before pregnancy, promotion of nutritional status by considering food sundry, nutritional balance, and care during pregnancy in the health centers can play a crucial role in improving the infants’ anthropometric indices.

Published: May 2020

Background: A few studies have been conducted to explore the association of MTHFR A1298C (rs1801131) polymorphism with preterm birth risk, the results remain inconsistent. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to derive a more systematic estimation of the association.
 
Method: Relevant studies were searched by PubMed, EMBASE, CNKI, and Google Scholar up to June 2018. The strength of the association of MTHFR A1298C polymorphism with preterm birth was calculated by odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95%CI).
 
Results: A total of nine case-control studies with 1,609 cases and 14,981 controls were included. Pooled results showed that there was no significant association between MTHFR A1298C polymorphism and preterm birth risk under all five genetic models in overall. However, in the stratified analysis of ethnicity, a significant association between MTHFR A1298C polymorphism and preterm birth risk was observed in the Asians under four genetic models, i.e., allele (C vs. A: OR = 0.960, 95% CI 0.543-0.871, P = 0.002), heterozygote (CA vs. AA: OR = 0.887, 95% CI 0.024-0.457, P = 0.003), dominant (CC+CA vs. AA: OR = 0.965, 95% CI 0.534 -0.935, P = 0.015) and recessive (CC vs. CA+AA: OR = 0.923, 95% CI 0.026-0491, P = 0.004), but not in Caucasians.
 
Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggested that MTHFR A1298C polymorphism is not associated with preterm birth risk in overall population. However, MTHFR A1298C polymorphism plays an important role in preterm birth development in Asian population.

Reacción en cadena de la polimerasa para la detección de toxoplasma gondii en líquido amniótico: hallazgos en 534 casos estudiados en la Fundación Gillow
Authors: Giraldo Alejandro , Fonseca Dora , Lozano Fred Wilson , E. Orjuela Jorge , Gutiérrez Andrés , Ruiz Ariel Iván
Published: May 2020

La infección con toxoplasma gondii durante el embarazo produce compromiso fetal en 9 a 27% de los casos cuando la gestante se infecta durante el primero o segundo trimestres y 59% si ocurre durante el tercer trimestre. La infección fetal produce serias consecuencias. El diagnóstico de infección congénita se ha sustentado mediante estudios inmunológicos, los cuales son de difícil interpretación. Esta publicación describe nuestra experiencia con la Reacción en Cadena de la Polimerasa (PCR) en líquido amniótico como predictor de compromiso fetal en gestantes con evidencia inmunológica de infección activa. Entre julio de 1996 y septiembre de 2000 se han evaluado 534 muestras de líquido amniótico, encontrándose una frecuencia de casos positivos del 7.1%. La frecuencia según edad gestacional fue 6.5% (12-15 s);16.1% (16-19 s); 20% (20-23 s); 21.5% (24-27s); 17.6% (28-31 s); 12.7% (32-35s); 1.7% (36-39 s). De los 38 casos positivos 20 son clínicamente normales, uno presenta problemas visuales y otro, leve retardo en el desarrollo psicomotor. De los 16 casos restantes, se presentaron 4 muertes fetales, 11 no han podido ser seguidos y 1 no ha nacido aún. La PCR es una metodología sensible y específica para confirmar infección fetal, y permite tomar medidas terapéuticas aún desde el periodo gestacional mejorando el pronóstico de los infantes infectados.
Perfil inmunológico y resultado gestacional de pacientes con aborto recurrente de primer trimestre comparado con abortos de diferentes trimestres

Published: May 2020

El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar si el número de abortos previos y la edad gestacional de estos abortos influía en el diagnóstico inmunológico y en el resultado del tratamiento de las pacientes con aborto recurrente espontáneo. Para esto, se analizaron dos grupos de pacientes atendidas en el Programa de Reproducción de la Universidad de Antioquia, así: a) las que tenían sólo abortos de primer trimestre y b) las que presentaron sus abortos en diferentes trimestres. En estos grupos se comparó la frecuencia de autoanticuerpos (anticuerpos antifosfolípidos, anticoagulante lúpico y anticuerpos antinucleares), la frecuencia de aloinmunidad (carencia de factores bloqueadores del cultivo mixto de linfocitos) y el resultado gestacional de la primera gestación después de su ingreso al programa. Además, se analizó el antecedente de tener sólo dos abortos previos ó tener tres o más. El perfil inmunológico y el resultado gestacional fue similar en los diferentes grupos.

Objetivo: Explorar la asociación entre las inmunoglobulinas G anticardiolipina (AC) y anti b2 glicoproteína I (Ab2GP I) con preeclampsia (PE) y sus complicaciones antes de las 35 semanas de gestación.Metodología: Estudio prosprectivo descriptivo de casos (55 preeclámpticas) y controles (55 gestantes no preeclámpticas) con menos de 35 semanas de gestación, de los Hospitales Universitario San Vicente de Paúl y General de Medellín, entre 1° de septiembre de 1999 y 1° de septiembre 2000.Resultados: El análisis de las variables sobre las características generales de los casos y controles no reveló diferencias significativas. Un caso (1,8%) resultó positivo para Ab2GP I vs 5/54 controles (9.2%) (P=0.09 ns). Se presentaron 7/55 casos positivos para AC(12.7%) (interpretada según recomendación de la casa fabricante) vs 11/54 controles (20.3%)(P=0.47 ns). Cuando se interpretó el resultado de AC siguiendo la recomendación internacional (AC1), se encontraron 24/55 casos positivos (43,6%) vs 30/54 controles (55.5%)(P=0.48 ns). En cuanto a las complicaciones, se presentaron 25 casos de RCIU (45.4%) sin asociación con Ab2GP I ni con AC interpretada por cualquiera de los dos métodos. Catorce casos (25.6%) tuvieron otras complicaciones atribuíbles a la PE (HELLP, abrupcio, edema pulmonar, etc.) sin asociación con los anticuerpos estudiados. Ninguno de los controles presentó preeclampsia y sólo uno de los positivos se complicó con tromboembolismo pulmonar pero se demostró estenosis mitral asociada.Conclusión: No hay asociación entre la preeclampsia que se inicia antes de las 35 semanas y sus complicaciones con Ab2GP I ni con AC.

Background. Adequate nutritional support is known to help to avoid the protein-energy deficiency in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and to reduce the number of escalations of the bronchopulmonary process. The CF patients need for increased protein and energy in their diet so they need to use specialized high-calorie high-protein foods. Purpose. To estimate tolerance and clinical efficacy of specialized mixtures «Nutrien Standart» and «Nutrien Diabet» (dry and liquid forms) in CF patients over 1 year. Materials and methods. 87 children aged 1.2-17 years were observed at children’s clinics in Moscow, Tumen, Voronezh. In all cases, there was confirmed a diagnosis of CF and/or CA associated with diabetes mellitus (DM). All of them showed a nutritional deficiency of varying severity. 70% of children received liquid forms of products, 30% - dry mixtures prepared in isocaloric dilution. The WHO-Anthro and WHO-Anthro Plus programs were used for the determination of nutritional status. The duration of observation accounted for at least 2 months. Results. The taste of the products was rated by most (97.7%) patients as very good, only two (2.3%) patients refused to accept new products. No adverse events were noted during the observateon. 73 (83%) patients showed a positive dynamics of nutritional status. Among patients aged less than 6 years, the number of children with normal physical development significantly increased (p <0.05). Conclusion. The various forms of specialized domestic high-calorie high-protein products is effective for correcting the nutritional status of the CF patients over 1 year.

A clinical and ultrasound examination of 126 children aged 11-16 years was carried out: 60 conditionally healthy children without structural deformations of the spine and thorax; 42 patients with dysplastic deformity of the spine and thorax, degree I-III; 24 patients with spinal and thoracal deformities of the fourth degree. For diagnosis, orthopedic and ultrasound methods were used. A significant increase in the incidence and severity of dilation of the hepatic veins in children with scoliotic deformities of the spine and chest was established. These indices were significantly elevated in children with severe deformities compared with patients with deformations of the I-III degree, these parameters being associated with the severity of the deformation of the spine and thorax. In children with severe deformities of the spine and thorax, dilation of the vena cava inferior was detected, accompanied by the dilation of the hepatic veins and associated with the severity of deformations of the spine and chest, both in the prevalence and the pronouncement of this symptom. The data obtained indicate the possibility of using dilation of the hepatic veins as one of the clinical markers for the early diagnosis of hemodynamic disorders associated with a scoliotic disease, which will allow primary health care doctors timely deciding on the need for orthopedic correction of spinal deformity to prevent the progression of scoliotic disease in children.

The pathology of the esophagus is diverse, therefore, disorders of the structural and functional state of the esophagus require different approaches both in the diagnosis of its pathology and in treatment. The review presents data on innovative diagnostic methods for the pathology of the cardio-esophageal transition in pediatric patients. The methods used were literature search in the databases PubMed, Medlit, RSCI, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE. Modern ideas about the neurophysiology of the gastroesophageal transition, the mechanisms of its antireflux function, and the pathogenesis of various pathologies of this anatomical localization, mainly gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), are described in both infants and school children. The features of the clinical picture of GERD depending on the age of the patient and the nature of the reflux agent are presented. The phenotypes of reflux disease are determined. The characteristics and modifications of existing original methods for studying the cardio-esophageal transition (both their advantages and disadvantages) are described in detail. The approaches to the possible optimization of management of this group of patients are proposed.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a pediatric vasculitis with coronary artery aneurysms as its main complication, often occurs in children under 5 years of age. The diagnosis is based on the presence of persistent fever and clinical features including exanthema, lymphadenopathy, bilateral conjunctivitis, and changes to the mucosae and extremities. Although the etiology is still unknown, it is believed that it is probably caused by an infectious trigger that initiates an inadequate immune response in genetically predisposed children. The article discusses the diagnostic criteria of not only the full form of KD, but also of partial one, taking into account the results of general and biochemical blood tests. Cardiological findings are described.There are presented infectious and somatic diseases, with which differential diagnosis should be carried out. Timely diagnosis and treatment of KD can improve the prognosis of the disease, prevent the development of coronary artery aneurysms.

Published: May 2020

The aim of this research was to describe the psychosocial traits of preschool teachers and to investigate the correlations between these traits. Designed according to the relational screening method, participants in this research comprised 102 teachers working in independent preschools and preschool classes linked to primary schools in Canakkale province. To collect psychosocial data, the research used a personal information form, semi-structured interview form, the Empathic Tendency Scale, Ways of Coping Questionnaire, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Burnout Measuresâ€“ Short Form and Self-Efficacy Scale. Findings obtained in the research showed that having a model (teacher, friend and family) was more effective than other factors in preschool teachers choosing this profession. Nearly, half of the teachers (49%) stated they would choose preschool teaching again if they had the chance, while the remaining teachers stated they would choose a different area of teaching or a different profession (theology, engineering, medicine, etc.).

Keywords: Preschool teachers, psychosocial, life satisfaction, burnout, coping with stress.
Collaborative reflection on shared journal writing to foster EFL teacher CPD
Authors: Elhussain Summaya W. , Khoja Aisha Y.
Published: May 2020

Despite the importance of Continuous Professional Development in the EFL context, a limited research has been done on EFL teachersâ€™ collaborative reflection on teaching. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of teachersâ€™ reflection that is fostered and enhanced by the collaborative written exploration of practice using an online-shared teacher journal in a Saudi tertiary context. To achieve this, the study adopted three theoretical foundations: the characteristics of the online teacher professional development, Vygotskyâ€™s zone of proximal development and the constructivist theory of learning. The level of reflection in the teachersâ€™ journal is analysed by using the discourse semantics approach, namely, systemic functional linguistics. Besides, a semi-structured interview is used to collect the qualitative data. They strongly suggest that maintaining an online-shared teachersâ€™ journal will support and augment teachersâ€™ reflection, enhance knowledge and improve teaching performance.

Keywords: Continuous professional development, reflective practice.

The present study aimed at clarifying the various shortcomings of the Cohen’s criteria for the interpretation of the values of the practical significance indicators. The hypothetical data were used for two experimental and control groups and calculating the paired-samples t-test. To clarify the inadequacy of Cohen’s criteria in interpreting practical significance indicators, it was compared with another criterion which is Black’s Modified Gain Ratio. Through the compatibility of mathematical equations to calculate the practical significance and the values of the interpretations of the correlation coefficient, the present study suggested that a criterion for the practical significance should be as follows: small when the values of the index (d) are less than (0.631), medium when the values are between 0.631 and 1.50 and large when the values are equal to or greater than (1.51). The study showed the justifications that distinguish this criterion from the Cohen criterion.

This paper determined the relative effect of animated and non-animated powerpoint (PPT) presentations on students’ achievement in physics. A non-equivalent group quasi-experimental research design was adopted for the study, using a sample of 88 senior secondary two students drawn from secondary schools in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State. A 30-item multiple-choice Physics Achievement Test (PAT) was used for data collection. The instrument was both face and content validate. The internal consistency reliability of the items of the PAT was established to be 0.76 using Kuder– Richardson formula 20, while the estimated temporal stability was obtained to be 0.88 using Pearson’s product-moment correlation. The mean was used to answer the research questions while t-test of independent samples was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that animated PPT significantly enhanced the achievement of students in physics than the non-animated PPT presentation.

Authors: Coskun Zeynep Nesrin , Mitrani Cagla
Published: May 2020

The aim of the study is to design an effective instruction build on the Dick and Carey Model and game-based learning that enables an undiagnosed language learner of dyslexia, facing problems in vocabulary acquisition to acquire a pre-defined number of vocabularies in a given time. The method of the curriculum development study is based on a case study in a real-life context with quantitative and qualitative evidence that relies on multiple data collection tools such as checklist, interviews, questionnaire and report cards of the learner. The results of the study demonstrated that the capability of the dyslexic learner can be increased to acquire 55 vocabularies in a week, the same number expected from their peers. The performance increase of the learner can be attributed to a new method of learning English vocabulary through game-based learning supported with spaced repetition.
