Systemic functional linguistics and translator education: A literature review
Authors: Alshalan Reem Fahad
Published: August 2024

Previous studies have shown that Systemic Functional Linguistics has a significant role in providing an in-depth analysis for translation purposes (Kim et al., 2021). Studies explored the effect of analyzing certain aspects of register analysis when training translators. Comparisons of the source texts with the target texts were conducted by using SFL as a tool for text analysis. The current paper is set to provide a full review on SFL and translation studies. The aim of this review is twofold: it aims to review how theories and empirical studies of translation and applied linguistics are interrelated; it also focuses on how SFL has been investigated in translation studies. The review shows that research has focused more on comparative analysis to evaluate translations even when used for translator education. Further research on applying full register analysis as a pedagogical tool for translator education is needed.
Spaces and places of modernity and the modern artist in Oğuz Atay’s “Railroad storytellers – A dream”
Authors: Aksoy N. Berrin
Published: August 2024

This paper examines Atay’s “Railroad Storytellers - A Dream” in terms of Atay’s modernist experimentation in his depiction of space and spatiality, emphasising his contribution to Turkish literature as a pioneer modernist author. Oğuz Atay’s distinctive and innovative style, which forms his affinities with the early Western modernists, establishes his significant place as a pioneer modernist author in Turkish literature in the 1970s. The concept of ‘house/home’ by Gaston Bachelard in The Poetics of Space (1957, 2014) is instrumental for me as it pertains to the predicament of three storytellers as artists in the nameless and remote railroad station. The narrator of the story and his fellow storytellers gradually sink into disconnection, confusion, misery and poverty in an environment that represents the cold and unwelcoming face of technological modernisation symbolised by the space of the train station. The narrator’s quest for finding a ‘home’ to connect him to his readers and where he could exist as an artist comes to life in his attempt to write a letter to his readers, telling them he is still ‘here’ and asking them where they are. No matter how blighted that effort is since the narrator has no address to send the letters to, the endings for Atay’s story imply a need for connection with his readers expressed in the impossible meeting of the ‘here’ with the ‘where’ in spite or because of the estrangement and alienation of the artist/author in the modern world. Hence, the possibility of space as a ‘home’ for the author/narrator dwindles in the not forthcoming answer to the letter that will never reach its destination.

Authors: Boonmoh Atipat , Kulavichian Intrira
Published: August 2024

The objectives of this study were, firstly, to implement and determine the effectiveness of an online training program designed to enhance the online communication and intercultural communication skills of undergraduate students and, secondly, to investigate the level of satisfaction of undergraduate students towards the program. The participants were 50 international students at a Thai university who were enrolled in the first semester of the 2023 academic year in a course called “Learning and Problem Solving Skills” (Gen 121). The instruments used in the study consisted of a pre-test/post-test of online communication and intercultural communication skills and a satisfaction online questionnaire to determine the level of student satisfaction with the program. Quantitative methods were used to analyze the data. The results were twofold. Firstly, during the implementation of the online training program, the findings showed that the online was effective in enhancing the undergraduate students’ online communication and intercultural communication skills, as shown in the pre-test (x̄ = 9.5 ) and post-test score (x̄ = 14.3). Secondly, the overall level of the students’ satisfaction toward the program was high. Despite the students’ increased awareness of online and intercultural communication skills, the results showed that this awareness was insufficient to change their study habits, particularly when it came to turning on cameras. Thus, teachers ought to provide students with explicit instructions encouraging them to turn on their cameras so that they can study online more effectively.

Motorcycle credit is a method of borrowing money from a financial institution, such as a bank or finance company, to buy a motorcycle. Naira Finance, as one of the leading finance companies in Indonesia, provides convenience for customers to own vehicles (both new and used motorcycles) of various brands. The job of a motorcycle loan manager is to decide whether or not to provide motorcycle loans to customers. To reduce the possibility of customer negligence in paying credit bills in the future, it is important to provide credit on time. As a supporting effort, credit managers should use a computer-based application known as a Decision Support System (DSS) to make credit granting decisions more accurate. A computer-based system known as SPK can assist managers in making both structured and unstructured decisions. Researchers try to combine the Rank Order Centroid (ROC) method and the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method when deciding to give credit or not to customers. In preference to the SAW method of calculation, it is intended that the weighting results of the ROC method are significant. the results of the decision from the application of the ROC and SAWt methods, there are 5 alternatives that are accepted to receive credit because they are considered feasible and meet the requirements criteria specified as customers who are entitled to receive credit while the other 5 alternatives are rejected so that they are declared unable to receive credit because they do not meet the customer requirements criteria.

Mango, originating from India and bearing the scientific name Mangifera indica L, spread to Southeast Asia, including Malaysia and Indonesia. Rich in vitamins A and C, mango boosts immunity and exhibits a wide genetic diversity. From the genetic diversity and types of mango leaves, many people do not understand well about the types of mangoes based on mango leaves. Therefore it is necessary to identify the type of mango based on the leaves so that people can easily understand the type of a mango. The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method proves effective in identifying plants based on morphological features. CNN, a development from Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), is employed in testing using Teachable Machine with 60 mango leaf images, divided into 3 classes. Across 4 different classifications, the average confusion matrix shows CNN accuracy at 83.30%, precision at 94.43%, and recall at 88.28%. With CNN, the accuracy in identifying mango leaf characteristics improves.

The latissimus dorsi flap (LDF) is a surgical procedure employed by surgeons to reconstruct several types of breast cancer surgical defects, including modified radical mastectomy, quadrantectomy, and lumpectomy. The LDF can be used as a standalone autogenous flap, in combination with immediate implant-based reconstruction, in combination with tissue expanders for a phased reconstruction, or in either scenario, either immediately or at a later time. The LDF (Latissimus Dorsi Flap) is a reliable choice for soft tissue coverage during breast reconstruction, providing both form and function while minimizing potential complications in the short and long term. In cases of limited tissue availability, the LDF can assist by supplying additional tissue volume for autologous reconstruction. Additionally, it can function as a reliable vascular pedicle for implant-based healing in cases when the tissue has been exposed to radiation.

Background: Meckel's diverticulum is the most prevalent congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, resulting from the incomplete obliteration of the omphalomesenteric duct during fetal development. Although often asymptomatic, it can present with a variety of complications, including bleeding, obstruction, and inflammation, necessitating timely and accurate diagnosis and intervention. Objective: This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of Meckel's diverticulum, including its embryological origin, pathophysiological features, clinical manifestations, diagnostic strategies, and therapeutic approaches. Methods: A thorough literature review was conducted, focusing on studies and case reports detailing the clinical presentation, imaging modalities, surgical techniques, and outcomes associated with Meckel's diverticulum. Key databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for relevant articles published up to August 2024. Results: Meckel's diverticulum typically presents in childhood but can manifest at any age. Its clinical presentation ranges from asymptomatic incidental findings to acute abdomen scenarios due to complications like hemorrhage, intestinal obstruction, diverticulitis, and, rarely, neoplastic transformation. Diagnostic imaging, including technetium-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy (Meckel's scan), CT, and MRI, plays a crucial role in the preoperative identification of the diverticulum. The management of symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum is predominantly surgical, with laparoscopic and open approaches being widely utilized. Prophylactic resection in asymptomatic cases remains controversial, with decision-making guided by patient-specific factors such as age, diverticulum characteristics, and the presence of ectopic tissue. Conclusion: Meckel's diverticulum, though often a silent anomaly, can present with significant clinical challenges. Early recognition and appropriate management are essential for optimal patient outcomes. This review highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving pediatricians, surgeons, and radiologists in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition.
Control Variables: A Review and Proposed Guidelines
Authors: Memon Mumtaz Ali
Published: August 2024

Although considerable research on control variables offers best practice recommendations, there are still shortcomings in their application. A significant proportion of quantitative studies lack rigor in how they apply control variables. Additionally, existing literature on control variables is primarily technical, with a noticeable lack of accessible guidance that could benefit both seasoned and novice researchers. In fact, there is a need for more elaboration in non-technical terms to enhance our understanding of using control variables effectively. The objectives of this editorial are twofold: First, we elaborate on five key issues related to control variables, including a clear, easy-to-understand explanation of what a control variable is, their advantages and complications, and the issues associated with under- or over-controlling variables. Second, we provide guidelines that are easy to follow for any researcher, whether experienced or novice. In doing so, we clarify several ambiguities and offer straightforward explanations of issues related to control variables. We hope that this effort will assist researchers—whether lecturers or students—by providing clear directions on the appropriate use of control variables.

A presente dissertação objetivou investigar a Geografia Econômica do Conhecimento da Quarta Revolução Industrial na Indústria de Transformação Brasileira, a partir dos empregos formais considerados necessários ao funcionamento das atividades desse segmento. Para tanto, elaborou-se indicadores de Conhecimento e Proximidade entre as Ocupações para definir efeitos na Entrada de novas especializações na Indústria 4.0 e seus transbordamentos regionais. A Diversificação Regional causada pelas Ocupações foi obtida pelo ganho de Vantagem Comparativa Revelada entre os períodos 2009 a 2014 e 2014 a 2019 para as microrregiões brasileiras. A estimação foi realizada pelo Modelo de Probabilidade Linear e apresentado em quatro modelos. Os principais resultados corroboram com a literatura: A diversificação regional da mão de obra é concentrada no eixo Sudeste-Sul, com predominância do Estado de São Paulo nos principais setores dessa indústria. Os efeitos das variáveis de interesse indicam a multiplicidade da disseminação da Indústria 4.0: se por um lado há importância da concentração de mão de obra especializada na Quarta Revolução Industrial e, quanto mais Complexo, mais difícil desse conhecimento ser incorporado a base regional, por outro lado, fatores de desenvolvimento não foram determinísticos nas estimações propostas. Ainda assim, considera- se primordial a maturidade tecnológica e acumulação de capital, físico e humano, para consolidação das vantagens e capacidades locais.

Published: August 2024

La escala de aceptación de mitos modernos sobre la agresión sexual (acceptance of modern myths about sexual aggression [AMMSA]) se utiliza en diversos países, ya que la violencia de género aumenta significativamente, sobre todo, después de la pandemia, por lo que es crucial comprender sus propiedades psicométricas en distintas poblaciones, como en este caso con una muestra peruana. Esta incluyó a 743 participantes, divididos en dos grupos: aquellos sin antecedentes registrados de violencia y aquellos con antecedentes registrados de violencia de pareja. Se emplearon dos métodos para evaluar la estructura factorial de la AMMSA, el análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE), seguido del análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC), para validar la estructura de la escala. Los resultados revelaron un modelo unidimensional de 23 ítems, que demostró la mejor parsimonia y ajuste teórico, respaldado por un coeficiente alfa de 0.90. La invarianza entre los grupos evaluados (sexo y universidad) fue adecuada, y la evaluación de la validez convergente respaldó psicométricamente el modelo propuesto. El punto de corte se estableció en 65, con un área bajo la curva del 86.7 %. En consecuencia, una puntuación ≥ 65 indicó la presencia de estos mitos. Los resultados satisfactorios de la AMMSA permiten evaluar y distinguir los mitos sobre la agresión sexual en la población peruana.

Gender Gap in the Paid Economic Activity and Economic Growth in the CEMAC Zone
Authors: Fika Henri Bello
Published: August 2024

The aim of this paper is to determine the impact on the economic growth rates in the CEMAC zone of the gender gap in terms of participation in paid economic activity. For that, we carry out a panel data analysis after having elaborated a balanced growth model integrating the gender aspect. The results obtained show that the improvement of the woman/man parity index in the paid economic activity has a significant at 5% level and positive impact in the long run on the economic growth in the CEMAC zone. The step-by-step model enables us to notice that this impact is significant only if the improvement of the gender index is accompanied by a rise of the fixed capital gross formation. The parameters obtained from the regression enable us to estimate for each country of CEMAC zone the sexo-specific growth rates of the GDP per capita (i.e. the growth rates that one would have observed in the event of perfect equality of chances between men and women as regards participation in a paid economic activity) and thus the profits in terms of economic performance and to plot for each country the sexo-specific growth paths. According to these estimates, implementing policies aiming at reducing the existing gap between men and women in the apid activity would be beneficial for all the economies of the CEMAC zone in terms of economic performance.

As mazelas do extrativismo
Authors: Ferreira Felipe França , Lima Samuel Anderson de Oliveira
Published: August 2024

Este artigo tem por objetivo apontar e analisar fragmentos literários de obras do colombiano Gabriel García Márquez à luz da ecocrítica, que é um dos principais desdobramentos contemporâneos da literatura comparada e definida como uma denúncia de que em geral o capitalismo, com seu extrativismo, é o sistema que afeta diversos ecossistemas e produz injustiças e colapsos. A ecocrítica está ligada a uma preocupação ecológica que vem desde o Iluminismo e na crítica literária brasileira começa a dar seus primeiros passos. Na literatura latino-americana são inúmeros os exemplos que contribuem para o debate acerca de colapsos ambientais provocados pelo capitalismo, e a literatura de García Márquez está inserida nesse vasto grupo ecocrítico.
Ejercicios para la Estimulación de la Actividad Económica a través del Gasto Público: Un Ejercicio para México
Authors: Torres Favela Manuel , Luna Dominguez Edgar Mauricio
Published: August 2024

El gobierno desempeña un papel crucial en la estimulación de la actividad económica, especialmente durante las recesiones. Sin embargo, la implementación de políticas fiscales contracíclicas a menudo resulta en un aumento significativo de la deuda pública. En este estudio, proponemos una alternativa para impulsar la actividad económica sin comprometer la deuda soberana. Para lograrlo, utilizamos un modelo NK-DSGE para analizar el gasto desagregado en la economía mexicana y calcular los multiplicadores de cada componente de manera individual. Nuestra propuesta consiste en aumentar el gasto en el elemento con mayor multiplicador, compensando con recortes en aquel con menor impacto. De esta manera, no se afecta el presupuesto gubernamental. Concluimos que este enfoque es óptimo tanto para estimular la economía como para lograr la consolidación fiscal.

In addition, we examine the impact of AI on decision-making processes in web development, encompassing project management and user experience design. This is achieved through the provision of predictive analytics and data-driven suggestions. This paper intends to emphasize the revolutionary potential of AI in producing web solutions that are more responsive, adaptive, and user centric. It does so by doing a thorough examination of current AI applications in web development and presenting case studies that demonstrate their usefulness.
Diversidad y género.
Authors: Mascarell Palau David
Published: August 2024

Entre las funciones de educar se encuentra la obligación de impulsar las faculta­des intelectuales, a los docentes también nos corresponde el deber de promover cuestiones relativas a la moral y a la afectividad de las personas de acuerdo con la cultura y las normas de convivencia de la sociedad a la que pertenecemos. La educación artística resulta un espacio ideal para la reivindicación social, para la expresión y la manifestación de las ideas, para proclamar los pensamientos y sentimientos de las personas. Destacamos la diversidad sexual y de género como argumento a implementar en las aulas a través de la coeducación. Promocionarlos y darles voz contribuirá a la conciencia y el respeto hacia las personas, la libertad y la justicia social. Desde la Facultad de Magisterio, Grado de Educación Infantil, de la Universidad de Valencia, campus d’Ontinyent, hemos trabajado esta temá­tica mediante instalaciones artísticas inspirándonos, entre otras, en la historia de “Cloe”, niña transgénero de ocho años. La etapa de la educación infantil es un es­pacio idóneo para indagar en estas sensibilidades y en la que los futuros maestros deben estar atentos. La Comunidad Valenciana, en España, es un referente sobre el impulso educativo en temas concerniente a la diversidad sexual y de género través de distintas instituciones, tanto políticas, así como educativas. Desde los niveles de infantil, primaria y secundaria, además del universitario.

“Punto y coma”, Un proyecto sobre la autolesión, el dolor, la enfermedad y las cicatrices desde el arte
Authors: Bellido-Márquez María del Carmen Bellido-Márquez María del Carmen , Quesada-de-la-Torre Laura
Published: August 2024

Este trabajo trata, principalmente, las autolesiones que han provocado cicatrices en la piel a causa del padecimiento de enfermedades mentales, pero también aborda algunas de estas dolencias, la estética corporal agresiva con el propio cuerpo, las prácticas sexuales violentas consentidas y el arte del cuerpo que lleva a los artistas a causarse daño. El objetivo del estudio es ayudar a las personas que han pasado o pasan por una enfermedad que les lleva a la autolesión, propiciar la compresión a las que no logran entender o no saben por qué hay otras que se infringen daño a sí mismas, contribuir a aminorar el tabú y estigma social que ello conlleva, dar mayor visibilidad al problema y conseguir la aceptación de las personas que lo sufren. La metodología utilizada es cualitativa, basada en una revisión documental teórica y analítica, además del desarrollo de un proyecto artístico-fotográfico personal, que aplica el arte como medio de expresión y terapia. Las resultados ayudan a las personas que llegan a autolesionarse por diversos motivos o a afrontar su enfermedad, no avergonzarse de ella, buscar ayuda y seguir un tratamiento. También ayudan a hacer comprender al espectador qué hay tras una marca autoinfringida en la piel y a reducir el rechazo social hacia estas personas.
Capitalismo e as esferas da expropriação e da reprodução social
Authors: Souza Angelita Matos
Published: August 2024

Neste texto, partimos das definições de modo de produção e de formação social capitalistas para discorrer sobre as esferas da expropriação e da reprodução social. Essencialmente, as duas esferas serão abordadas como constitutivas do capitalismo, e não como resquícios/sobrevivências de outros modos de produção, embora seja essa uma realidade a ser contemplada na análise das formações sociais. Combinaremos teorias clássicas do capitalismo com abordagens recentes, centradas na fase neoliberal do capitalismo, desenvolvidas no campo dos estudos sobre as transformações no mundo do trabalho e no campo dos estudos feministas. Trata-se de apresentar uma reflexão sustentada por pesquisa bibliográfica, que espera esboçar um esquema analítico para a análise das formações sociais capitalistas.
