Introducción: Según estadísticas mundiales, el cáncer de cérvix, ocupa el tercer lugar dentro de las neoplasias más comunes que afectan a las mujeres ,  es considerado un problema de salud pública, cuyo factor de riesgo más importante es la  infección por virus del papiloma humano (VPH).Objetivo : El objetivo de este trabajo es, realizar una revisión de la literatura sobre Cáncer de Cérvix y virus del papiloma humano,  diagnóstico y  prevención. Materiales y métodos:  se efectuó un estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo,  revisión   de   artículos   médicos   científicos,   se consultó bases de datos MedLine, Willey online library, Epistemonikos , PUBMED, ELSEVIER, artículos en su mayoría del año 2018 en adelante, en los idiomas español e inglés. Resultados: La organización mundial de la salud (OMS), ha empleado estrategias  para  aumentar vacunación contra el VPH , aprobada por la Administración de Drogas y Alimentos de los EE. UU.; para todas las personas de 9 a 45 años, en prevención de cánceres genitales, cervicales, anales, orofaríngeos, así como verrugas genitales, igualmente  la  Academia Estadounidense de Pediatría recomienda vacunar a los niños antes de la actividad sexual entre los 11 y  12 años, teniendo un gran impacto colectivo  la vacunación de hombres y mujeres. En la actualidad, el diagnóstico cérvicouterino de VPH, se realiza con  la prueba de detección molecular del ADN del VPH por PCR, la cual, es la única aprobada por la FDA (Administración de Drogas y Alimentos) de los Estados Unidos de América , no obstante la Prueba Papanicolaou, a pesar de ser una gran herramienta de cribado para la detección de lesiones precancerosas y cancerosas, no detecta al virus del VPH, sino los cambios citológicos producidos por la infección. Conclusión: La infección por virus del papiloma humano, es la principal causa generadora de cáncer de cuello uterino.  La importancia de esta investigación radica en, la necesidad de hacer concientización para el tamizaje precoz del mencionado virus, además de la prevención mediante vacunación, lo cual reduce, la incidencia  de cáncer, por lo que,  se deben implementar estrategias, para  aumentar la disponibilidad de vacunas, a menor costo,  e informar a la población sobre el beneficio de su  uso, realizando campañas de concienciación global.

Literature in Politics
Authors: Birkett Imogen
Published: May 2023

The relationship between English Literature and Politics has, historically, been understated and underexplored in academia. This article recognises the value of this relationship, significantly contributing to the field through original research which explores the political appropriation of literature. Using politicians’ references to George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four in parliamentary debate as a precedent, this research shows how fiction is used as a strategy of political argument. In supporting this claim, this research engages with the rising approach of Rhetorical Political Analysis, and wider theory which views political rhetoric as argumentation.

Published: May 2023

Although the technology of fuel injection in motorcycles has reached ports and direct injection, motorcycles with carburetors are still used. In this research, the carburetor was modified by adding a swirling vane. This study is intended to provide an explanation regarding engine performance which includes torque, power, mileage, emissions, and engine oil temperature. The study begins with a review of the shape and flow characteristics of the swirling vane based on the largest flow according to previous studies. Then, a swirling vane is built and tested to ensure its optimal shape. The findings were compared with conventional carburetor-based engines that had not been treated. Experiments were also carried out on gasoline-ethanol to obtain optimal results and use them appropriately for alternative fuel applications. A comparison of data on torque, power, exhaust emissions, temperature, and mileage reveals that vehicles modified with swirling vanes have better performance. Furthermore, based on the results of gasoline-ethanol application tests, this design is only suitable for use up to E25.

Authors: Medina Gonzalez Vinicio Xavier
Published: May 2023

The authors identify the vectors of development and consider the features and main trends of academic mobility of Latin American students in the current conditions of the development of society and higher education. It is concluded that in recent years, academic mobility has been undergoing changes, including changing its vector in favor of obtaining education in the region. The key reasons for this process are identified: the traditional propensity of Latin Americans for good neighborliness, the active development of the idea of a “common market of knowledge” in the region, the increase in the level of education in a number of Latin American states, the adjustments made to the processes of academic mobility by the pandemic of the new coronavirus. Along with the regional vector, the role of Russian universities is determined and the place of Rossotrudnichestvo in the system of academic mobility is shown. The factors that can affect the dynamics of academic mobility of Latin American students to Russian universities are highlighted.

The development of information technology has now changed people's lifestyles, including in transportation. Various transportation developments both online and in person. Many people live a luxurious lifestyle to show that they have a different class but not everyone can meet these needs because of expensive prices and car maintenance. So many rental car rentals, but it is very unfortunate that in practice rental services are targets or targets of crime by people. irresponsible. This is marked by the frequent occurrence and criminal acts of car fraud or embezzlement committed by users of car rental services. Embezzlement is someone who abuses rights or abuses trust where the trust is obtained without any elements against the law. Car embezzlement is one of them. an unlawful act that may be subject to a criminal offense. The case occurred in the Cerme sub-district, Gresik district, in the ALIF TRANS car rental, in the agreement the tenant rented for 1 month but after one month the car was not returned, it turned out that the car was pawned on the other side. This is a violation of criminal law. This crime is an unlawful act committed by tricking or hiding a rented car from the owner. In this article, we will explain the articles in the Criminal Code that can be applied in cases of embezzlement of rental cars, such as Articles 372, 1548, and CHAPTER XXVI. The method used in this study uses a type of normative juridical research, namely research according to the book of laws Criminal Code. There is a need for a policy approach that must be taken, namely a combination of efforts to deal with crime with a penalty (after it has occurred) and (before it has occurred). Penal efforts or criminal policies are divided into penal efforts and non-penal efforts, penal efforts are efforts that are repressive after a crime has occurred, while non-penal efforts are crime prevention efforts that focus more on preventive efforts.

Bildung und soziale Mobilität dies- und jenseits von Nationalstaaten. Transnationale Perspektiven auf die Bildungsbiographien von Jugendlichen
Authors: Hinrichsen Merle
Published: May 2023

Der Beitrag widmet sich der Untersuchung des Zusammenhangs von Migration und sozialer Mobilität durch Bildung und kombiniert hierfür eine biographieanalytische mit einer transnationalen Perspektive. Anhand der Bildungsbiographien von Jugendlichen mit Migrationsgeschichte wird rekonstruiert, wie Erfahrungen in und Beziehungen zu unterschiedlichen (trans-)nationalen Kontexten mit Möglichkeiten der Bildungsmobilität zusammenspielen und welche Bedeutung diesbezüglich globale Macht- und Ungleichheitsverhältnisse entfalten. Dabei wird deutlich, dass die „Eigenlogik“ der (Bildungs-)Biographien von Jugendlichen häufig quer zu nationalstaatlichen Logiken liegt und sich vor dem Hintergrund biographischer Prozessdynamiken und Wissensbestände vollzieht. Für die Untersuchung von Bildungsmobilität in Migrationsgesellschaften ergibt sich daraus, verstärkt die Erfahrungen und Perspektiven von Jugendlichen einzubeziehen und ihre Biographien jenseits eines methodologischen Nationalismus in ihrem zeitlichen Verlauf zu analysieren.

Authors: Huang Qi , Zhao Yingli , Fang Xing , Liu Jianjun , Xia Quan , Tan Chao , Peng Yao , Wu JingJing
Published: May 2023

Mixed micelles (MMs), as a new targeted drug delivery system with high adjustability, have been widely studied in biomedicines. In order to study whether mixtures containing two different molecules have excellent targeted anti-tumor effect, MMs based on D-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) and triblock copolymer P84 were prepared, and the characterization, cell endocytosis, and exocytosis of P84/TPGS MMs were observed. Paclitaxel (PTX), a classical anti-tumor drug, was selected as a model compound to explore its anti-tumor effect in vivo. The results showed that P84/TPGS MMs had better stability, suitably distributed particle size, good cell endocytosis, and tumor sphere permeability, which could improve the permeability of PTX in the tumor site and effectively inhibit the growth of H22 tumor in mice. In conclusion, P84/TPGS MMs is a potential micelle carrier system of cancer targeting, needing further investigation.
From Necro-Politics to Necro-Ecology: framing the current climate environmental politics in the Americas
Authors: Lucatello Simone , Fernández Carrill Luis Ricardo
Published: May 2023

This article draws on the conceptual frameworks of Michel Foucault's biopolitics and Achille Mbembe's necro-politics to support the concept of necro-ecology as a new transdisciplinary framework for assessing the disruptive impacts of current environmental policy in the American Continent. Necro-ecology integrates concepts from philosophy, environmental studies and political ecology, critical geography among other theories and tools to describe how a combination of state authority, capitalist mechanics, corporate power, extractivist ideologies are currently characterizing the Governments climate’ environmental decision-making processes and actions in the Americas. We observe a deep negative escalation of already existing climate necro-politics towards a condition of necro-ecology, where damages to the human and natural-ecosystems of the continent are becoming permanent and irreversible.

Published: May 2023

Os bioestimulantes são produtos capazes de melhorar o desempenho da cultura do milho, resultando em maiores produtividades de grãos. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da aplicação foliar de nicotinamida, A. brasiliense e fitohormônios sintéticos aplicados como bioestimulantes na cultura do milho. Foi utilizado o delineamento experimental em blocos casualizados, com oito tratamentos e quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram constituídos pela aplicação isolada ou combinada de nicotinamida na concentração de 800 mg L-1 água, Azospirillum brasilense na dose de 500 mL ha-1 e mistura de fitohormônios na dose de 500 mL ha-1. Foram avaliadas características de crescimento, componentes de produção e produtividade de grãos do milho. A utilização isolada da mistura de fitohormônios favoreceu a cultura do milho, promovendo aumento de 24,3, 29,2 e 21,2%, na massa de grãos por espiga, massa de mil grãos e produtividade de grãos, respectivamente. A produtividade de grãos atingida com esse tratamento foi de 8155 kg ha-1. O maior valor para índice de clorofila foliar foi obtido com o uso isolado de A. brasiliense. A nicotinamida isolada e a mistura dos bioestimulantes não foram favoráveis para as variáveis avaliadas, porque não superaram o controle. De toda forma, não prejudicaram o rendimento das variáveis.
Comparative characteristics of diamonds from areas with a high density of kimberlite bodies
Authors: Zinchuk N. N. , Koptil V. I.
Published: May 2023

Background. This paper presents a comparative study into diamonds from kimberlite bodies of the Verkhnemunsky field (Zapolyarnaya, Novinka, Komsomolskaya-Magnitnaya and Poiskovaya), the results of which allow these minerals to be distinguished from those found in other fields of the Siberian platform. Diamonds from the Zapolyarnaya kimberlite pipe are characterized by an increased prevalence of dodecahedroids with shagreen and plastic deformation bands, mainly of a violet-brown color. A significant part of these diamonds contains cavities. In this respect, diamonds from the Zapolyarnaya kimberlite pipe are similar to other bodies of the Verkhnemunsky kimberlite field (Komsomolskaya-Magnitnaya, Novinka and Poiskovaya) and different from diamonds mined at the Malo-Botuobinsky, Daldyn-Alakitsky and Sredne-Markhinsky diamondiferous areas.

Aim. To analyze the characteristics of diamonds from the Verkhnemunsky field with a high density of kimberlite bodies.

Materials and methods. The research was based on a large amount of data and materials collected over long-term prospecting and exploration works carried out by industrial and research organizations in Western Yakutia. A comprehensive study of diamonds was conducted under the guidance and participation of the authors.

Results. Kimberlite ore bodies in the region under study were found to differ from similar ore bodies of the central fields (Mirninsky, Daldynsky and Alakit-Markhinsky) by a low content of xenoliths of sedimentary rocks, many of which underwent high-temperature metamorphism. In general, the kimberlite ore bodies of the field are characterized by relatively weak secondary changes. Therefore, the largest part of the kimberlites of individual diatremes (Zymnyaya, Komsomolskaya-Magnitnaya, Novinka and Legkaya) preserve fresh olivine of the second generation, which is usually replaced by later monticellite and periclase.

Conclusion. Diamonds from the Verkhnemunsky field are characterized by a set of typomorphic characteristics, which can be used to differentiate them from minerals in other Yakutia deposits. The main typomorphic characteristics of Zapolyarnaya diamonds include the pronounced predominance of dodecahedroids with shagreen and plastic deformation bands, mainly of a violet-brown color and numerous cavities. In terms of this feature, these diamonds are close to other kimberlite bodies of the Verkhnemunsky field (Komsomolskaya-Magnitnaya, Novinka and Poiskovaya) but different from those in the Daldyn-Alakitsky, Malobotuobinsky and Sredne-Markhinsky diamondiferous areas.

Triassic source rocks of the Eastern Ciscaucasia
Authors: Volkova P. A. , Lavrenova E. A. , Levitskaya M. S. , Suyunbayev T. N.
Published: May 2023

Background. Triassic deposits of the Eastern Ciscaucasia belong to the upper part of the transient zone, which is considered promising for hydrocarbon exploration. The presence of numerous deposits, as well as non-commercial hydrocarbon flows in boreholes, indicate the existence of petroleum systems in this part of the section. However, issues related to the sources of hydrocarbons in the Triassic deposits still remain unresolved.

Aim. To identify and study the possible source rocks for the Triassic deposits of the Eastern Ciscaucasia, as well as to assess their contribution to the hydrocarbon potential of the upper part of the transient zone.

Materials and methods. Research materials involved all available geological, geophysical and geochemical data published on the section under study, as well as reports from the Russian Federation geological repository. The collected data were analyzed as part of the conducted basin analysis. Numerical basin modeling and paleogeographic reconstructions were performed.

Results. The paleogeographic conditions of the Eastern Ciscaucasia and the adjacent areas of the Caspian Sea at the Triassic period were studied. The results of basin analysis were used to construct the distribution maps of Neftekumskaya, Kultaisko-Demyanovskaya and Kizlyarskaya source rocks and to assess their charging ability for Lower and Middle Triassic reservoirs.

Conclusion. The conducted numerical modelling revealed several pods of still active source rocks in the Neftekumskaya, Kultaisko-Demyanovskaya and Kizlyarskaya sections. Lower Triassic reservoirs charged from both the Neftekumskaya and Kultaisko-Demyanovskaya source rocks, unlike Middle Triassic reservoirs that charged from the Kizlyarskaya source rocks. Thus, independent petroleum systems separated by the Anisian seal at the two stratigraphic levels in the Triassic part of the transitional complex of Eastern Ciscaucasia were identified.

Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Frick Peggy
Published: May 2023

Problem. More and more alcohol and drug users are coming into contact with the criminal justice system. Some of these individuals may have comorbid mental health issues. This present study sought to determine whether the New Avenues Substance Abuse Treatment Program, housed at the Correctional Work Center, Davidson County, Tennessee, did, in the course of treatment, have an impact on the anxiety, depression, and locus of control of those individuals completing the program. Method. The Beck Depression Inventory-II, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, and the Rotter Internal versus External Control of Reinforcement Scale were utilized to measure depression, anxiety, and locus of control respectively. Paired samples t -tests and analysis of covariance were utilized to analyze the results. Results. The New Avenues Substance Abuse Treatment Program, while keeping its major focus on substance abuse treatment, apparently had no significant impact on the anxiety, depression, and locus of control of those completing the program over what they would have experienced just by being incarcerated in the facility during the treatment period. Conclusions . Although depression, anxiety, and locus of control may be involved in substance abuse,substance abuse treatment as put forth by the New Avenues Substance Abuse Treatment Program did not have a significant impact on them. If the individuals had not been involved in treatment, changes in their levels of depression, anxiety, and locus of control would have occurred anyway.
Venezuelan Adventist University Institute: the Development of a Seventh-day Adventist Educational Institution, 1962-1999
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Huérfano Pablo
Published: May 2023

Problem. The first and only Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) tertiary-level institution in Venezuela is Venezuelan Adventist University Institute. It was founded initially as asecondary boarding academy in 1962, began offering college level programs in 1990, was accredited by the Seventh-day Adventist Church at the college level in 1995, and achieved status as a university institute under Venezuelan law in 1999. No comprehensive history has been written portraying its development. Method. The documentary-historical method, based on published and unpublished material, was used. Sources included books, periodicals, school bulletins, board minutes, school reports, school evaluations, correspondence, interviews, and other documents pertaining to the history, development, and operation of the school. The study is chronologically organized. Spanish materials were translated into English by the writer. Conclusions. Venezuelan Adventist University Institute (IUNAV) was first established in El Limón in 1962 as a boarding school for the SDA youth of Venezuela. It served as a haven for these youth to obtain an education encompassing manual, intellectual, and spiritual elements. It was established to provide qualified denominational workers and a laity dedicated to service for God and society. The writings of Ellen G. White had considerable influence on the founding, relocation, curriculum, and development of the institution to the end of the twentieth century. The narrative covers the early beginnings in El Limón from 1962-1966; construction of a new facility in Nirgua and relocation to this new site in 1966; and consolidation of the secondary-level academic and the industrial programs during the 1970s. The decade of the1980s was characterized by the vision of what the institution could become in meeting the objectives of the founders. The building program and academic initiatives were focused on the goal of achieving college status. The dream of offering higher education as an approved and accredited institution was not easily achieved. Preparation and negotiation continued into the 1990s, and full denominational accreditation was only granted in 1995, while government approval as a university institute was achieved in 1999. Each of the nine senior administrators has made a substantial and distinctive contribution to the development of the institution. Achievement of university institute status is a tribute to all these leaders and the teachers and staff who served with them. IUNAV has to a considerable extent achieved the, vision of its founders for an exemplary institution of higher Christian learning in Venezuela.
A Longitudinal Study of Seventh-day Adventist Adolescents Through Young Adulthood Concerning Retention in or Disaffiliation From the Church
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Kim Gyung
Published: May 2023

Problem. Why do some Seventh-day Adventist youth leave the church in North America? The proportion of the youth who disaffiliate themselves from the church is considered to be a problem of serious concern for parents, teachers, other religious educators, and the church itself. It was the purpose of this study to discover the relationships that may exist between youth retention in the church and other selected variables. Method. The Ten-Year Youth Study of Youth Retention in the Seventh-day Adventist Church in North America furnished data for statistical analyses. Out of the 578 questions of the Ten-Year Youth Study, relevant items for this study were sorted out, and some of them were grouped together for scales development. SPSS factor analysis and reliability analysis programs were utilized in formulating the scales. Then, these scales and other selected individual items were put into statistical analysis such as Pearson correlation and a stepwise logistic regression analysis. Results. Approximately 55% of the members who were baptized at the age of 15 or 16 were active in attending worship regularly after 10 years. The stepwise logistic regression result selected seven primary predictors that seem to influence youth retention the most as measured by worship attendance. The positive influential predictors were, in descending order, Teacher encouraged thinking, Giving tithe regularly, Involvement in the church, and Agreement with distinctive Adventist doctrines. And the negative influential predictors were, in descending order, Teacher emphasized rules and regulations, Anti-traditional Adventist behavior, and Mother's indifference and rejection. Conclusions. Youth retention in the church is a combined result of psycho-social and cognitive experiences a person had at home, school, and church during childhood through adolescence. Parents' modeling with warm and caring attitudes, teachers' grace oriented attitudes, teachers' encouragement of thinking, congregational leaders' affectionate and supportive attitudes are significantly correlated with the youth retention in the church. Also, youth's agreement with distinctive Seventh-day Adventist doctrines, agreement with church standards, involvement in church activities, and paying of tithes significantly correlated with youth retention in the church as measured by worship attendance.

Published: May 2023

Problem. Many students at all levels of the education system in Jamaica perform poorly at mathematics. In particular, the results of both the Caribbean Examinations Council and Business Calculus 1 at the university level have reflected a declining trend in mathematics performance in recent years. Consequently, this study sought to investigate the variables related to the successful completion of the first course in business calculus at Jamaican universities. To this end, the study looked at perceptions of students and their professors regarding students' cognitive, affective, and professor effectiveness variables impacting success. Method. The sample for this study consisted of 389 business calculus students and 12 professors from three Jamaican universities. The survey research method was used to ascertain the perceptions of the students and their professors. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences was used to analyze the data by way of descriptive statistics, cross tabulation, chi-square, discriminant analysis, and the t test for independent samples. Results. Eleven hypotheses were tested to solicit from the students and professors their perceptions of the variables related to the successful completion of the first course in business calculus. Both successful and unsuccessful students and their professors perceived that certain cognitive, affective, and professor effectiveness variables were important for success in Business Calculus 1. However, they perceived that ability and relevance were not as important as the other variables. Successful and unsuccessful students differed on the level of practice, relationship with fellow students, professor's help, active class participation, professor's clarity, use of calculus principles in everyday life, and out-of-class individual study required for success in Business Calculus 1. The students and their professors differed on the importance of relevance for success in Business Calculus 1. Conclusion. This study suggests that students and their professors in the three Jamaican universities are cognizant that certain cognitive, affective, and professor effectiveness variables are important for success in Business Calculus 1. However, more needs to be done to improve students' perceptions of their possession of these variables. In addition, the universities and their professors need to do more to enhance students' awareness of the relevance of Business Calculus 1 in particular and mathematics in general to everyday life.

Published: May 2023

Problem . Literature on work-stress burnout among emergency medical technicians (EMTs) suggests that they have maintained the same levels of burnout and attrition rates for the past 20 years. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between early recollections and burnout in EMTs working in urban and rural locations. Method . A demographic questionnaire, the Staff Burnout Scale for Health Professionals (SBS-HP), and two early recollections, were used to survey 120 emergency medical technicians in Toronto, Ontario and Mojave County, Arizona to assess their level of burnout and to identify various themes in early recollections. Results . The results from the analysis of the data from general demographic information, the SBS-HP, and the early recollections indicated that urban EMTs experienced higher levels of burnout than rural EMTs. No significant findings were found to correlate with any of the eight early recollection themes to global burnout levels, or the four sub-scales of the SBS-HP. Conclusions . As a result of the study the following conclusion was drawn: that EMTs who work in urban areas experience higher levels of burnout than those EMTs in rural areas.

COVID-19 has transformed the holistic learning process into an online platform. Unfortunately, these changes are only â€œEMERGENCYâ€ responses because they occur under conditions of unpreparedness. This unpreparedness is experienced at all levels, both educational institutions, teachers, students and parents. As a result, online learning is considered less effective and there is strong pressure from various parties for schools to reopen offline education methods even though the pandemic has not passed. This study aims to show the existential problems experienced by students, teachers, and parents in transforming the educational paradigm. This research is qualitative, using primary and secondary data. Primary data was obtained through Google forms and in-depth interviews via WhatsApp. Respondents consisted of students, parents and teachers in the primary education stage in the DKI Jakarta area. Each group of respondents consists of fifteen people. The data is analyzed through the restatement, description and interpretation stages. This research shows that online learning has not been an effective solution to learning during the pandemic, because the response given is simply about technological change, not seen as a change in tradition towards 21st-century learning. In the current pandemic conditions and the urge to reopen the school, blended learning is a wise choice as a resolution, so that the quality learning process can be maintained. Increasing the digital literacy skills of teachers and conducting socialization to increase public awareness of the importance of transforming educational culture from offline-based learning to IT-based learning both Online and blended learning methods.
Mapping Change in Canada’s Local News Landscape: An Investigation of Research Impact on Public Policy
Authors: Lindgren April , Corbett Jon , Hodson Jaigris
Published: May 2023

This study investigates whether the Local News Map, a crowdsourced digital tool that tracks changes to local news outlets, influenced policy making that resulted in new government supports for Canadian journalism. It demonstrates how scholarly research informs government decision making and identifies a more nuanced approach to tracking research impact at a time when funders are increasingly demanding evidence that research dollars are well spent. We argue that research knowledge is used for various purposes at different points in policy making and that its impact should not just be assessed in terms of influence on a final outcome. Using a mixed-methods approach to chronicle opportunities for research influence, we found that map data were incorporated into news and social media content that helped push the news industry’s problems onto the government’s policy-making agenda. The data were also used by officials to understand what is happening to local newsrooms and to develop a policy rationale for government aid. The results suggest that when impact is defined as situations where scholarly knowledge raises consciousness of an issue, informs thinking or leads to the application of that knowledge, the result is a more realistic assessment of research impact on the policy process.

Alzheimer hastalığı, çeşitli bilişsel ve davranışsal yeteneklerin ilerleyici bir şekilde bozulması ile karakterizedir. Bu durum, sürekli olarak ilgilenilmesi gereken Alzheimer hastalarına bakım verenlere önemli sorumluluklar yüklemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Alzheimer hastalarına bakım verenlerin psikolojik yardım arama tutumları, öz yeterlilik ve stresle başa çıkma tarzları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmada ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmış olup, örneklemi Alzheimer hastasına bakım veren 120 birey oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmadan elde edilen verilerin analizi SPSS 25.0 ile yapılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen verilerde; Alzheimer hastalarına bakım verenlerde stresle başa çıkma tarzlarının psikolojik yardım almaya ilişkin tutumları arasında anlamlı düzeyde ilişki bulgulanmıştır. Psikolojik yardım almaya ilişkin tutumdaki değişimi en iyi açıklayan değişkenin sosyal desteğe başvurma yaklaşımı olduğu saptanmıştır. Aynı zamanda, bakım verenlerin stresle başa çıkma tarzları ile öz yeterlilik düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu; kendine güvenli yaklaşımın ise öz yeterlilik için anlamlı bir yordayıcı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Alzheimer hastaları ve bakım verenleriyle ilgili yapılan araştırmaların, yaşanılan sorunların en aza indirilmesine yönelik önlemlerin alınması ve yaşam kalitelerinin geliştirilmesine katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
Numeral-based English and Arabic Formulaic Expressions: Cultural, Linguistic and Translation Issues
Authors: Al-Jarf Reima
Published: May 2023

This study explores the similarities and differences between English and Arabic numeral-based formulaic expressions, and difficulties that student-translators have with them. A corpus of English and Arabic numeral-based formulaic expressions containing zero, two, three, twenty, sixty, hundred, thousand…etc., and another corpus of specialized expressions with numerical prefixes (mono-, bi-, milli-, kilo-, mega-) were collected, analyzed and compared. It was found that English and Arabic numeral-based formulaic expressions fall into 4 categories:: (i) those that are identical in form and meaning in both languages (seventh heaven, four eyes, fifth column); (ii) those that are similar in meaning but differ in wording (cats have nine lives, high five, cloud nine); (iii) those that exist in English, but have no equivalents in Arabic; and (iv) those that exist in Arabic but have no equivalents in English. Specialized expressions containing numerals or numerical prefixes used in business, sports, science, politics and others are exact translations in both languages (five-power agreement, five percent rule, five tigers, tripartite alliance, fifth wheel replace). Student-translators could translate fewer than 25% of the test items correctly and left many blank. Numeral-based formulaic expressions similar in both languages were easy to translate, whereas opaque ones (at sixes and sevens, double Dutch, strap); culture-specific ones (Pentateuch, Millennialism, ثوبٌ سُبَاعِيّ، الثنائي الشيعي، ألف صحة، صحتين وعافية، مرحبتين، رباعيات الخيام، ستين داهية،, and those that require a specialized background knowledge (five C's, the big five, five pillars of the UN, three-name paper) were difficult. Literal translation was the most common translation strategy. Detailed results and recommendations are given.
