LEXICAL AND SYNTACTIC MEANS OF EXPRESSING A SLOGAN IN A FRENCH-LANGUAGE ADVERTISING TEXT
Authors: Voronko Halyna , Kruk Zoriana , Lutsyk Nataliia
Published: August 2023

The article deals with lexical and syntactic means of expressing the slogan in the French-language advertising text. Particular attention is paid to the development of advertising as a linguistic phenomenon. The works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists studying the structural and functional characteristics of advertising texts and the peculiarities of their creation are analyzed. The article examines the functional and stylistic status of the advertising slogan and clarifies the structural and syntactic features of French-language advertising. The material of the study is advertising slogans obtained by continuous sampling method from French-language websites of trading companies. The research uses the structural-linguistic method, lexical-semantic and syntactic analysis. Emphasis is placed on the use of nominative sentences as one of the most productive ways of creating slogans. The article highlights prepositive definitions, postpositive constructions and cases of their joint use used in order toemphasize the indication of the target audience and the possibility of specifying the idea of a unique trade offer. It is noted that the main element of the advertising text is the verb, which gives the sentence dynamism, movement, and creates the appearance of action. Analysis of slogans in verb forms of imperative and indicative showed that the pragmatic message of such syntactic structures is usually a call to action, advice, instruction. It was found that the use of infinitive sentences in advertising texts is quite common in French-language discourse as one of the most optimal forms of motivation, since the semantics of the infinitive expression is more easily combined with the meaning of necessity and inevitability. The use of slogans in the form of two-part sentences, the structure of advertising statements of which is less concise, is analyzed. As a result of the study, it was found that the syntactic feature of the slogan is the tendency to dominate nominative constructions in order to create an association with the trademark.
FUNCTIONAL AND COMMUNICATIVE POTENTIAL OF SIGNIFICANT-PERSONAL SENTENCES: PERSONALIZATION OF THE SUBJECT OF THE MEDIA MESSAGE
Authors: Sydorenko Olha , Bondarenko Olena
Published: August 2023

The article reveals the functional and communicative potential of one-syllable definite-personal sentences as a means of personalizing the subjects of the communicative space of the media message. The application of a complex method of researching monosyllabic sentences based on the functional-communicative approach made it possible to determine that the use of personal monosyllabic sentences in media texts contributes to the personification of the sender of media speech through a marked-personal deixis. Marked-personal deixis, explicated by verb forms of the 1st person, is a means of personalizing the author of a media message and expressing a personified concrete or collective subject of journalistic activity. The marked-personal deixis, explicated by forms of the 2nd person with the meaning of direct addressability, personalizes the addressee of the media message and is realized by the following pragmatic variations of the one-syllable marked-personal sentence: 1) speech addressed to a specific addressee; 2) speech in which the addressee is the subject; 3) narrative in the form of the 2nd person: "YOU"-text represents the discrepancy between the actual creator and the subject of speech -statements belong to the 1st person, and the forms of the 2nd person refer to the imaginary reader who perceives what is said; 4) generalization of personal experience.
STYLISTIC ORGANIZATION OF THE LEXICAL AND SYNTACTIC SPACEOF THE POETIC WORKS BY ANATOLIY PERERVA
Authors: Tieliezhkina Olesia
Published: August 2023

The author of the proposed material emphasizes that the linguistic and stylistic organization of the artistic text has been of interest to linguists for a long time. However, the peculiarities of a poetic narrative expressive means functioning have not been deeply investigated so far. Therefore, the study of language units that testify to the stylistic potential in the poetic scope of Anatoliy Pererva is relevant since the writer’s linguistic world was not an object of a separate scientific analysis. The purpose of the investigation is to characterize the peculiarities of the representation of stylistic means of lexical and syntactic nature in the poetic works by Anatoliy Pererva based on the material of his collection “Nebesna yasnist”. The realization of the defined goal involves the analysis of lexical and grammatical means of organizing the writer’s poetic narrative, the consideration of syntactic methods of his poetic language expressiveness, and the clarification of the stylistic potential of the revealed artistic and expressive means in the formation of the linguistic fabric of the poetic text. Therefore, the object of research is the language of Anatoliy Pererva's poetic collection “Nebesna yasnist”. The subject of the study is linguistic and artistic expressive and pictorial means of organizing the language fabric of a poetic work, which have a lexical and syntactic origin. The researcher states that stylistic component of a lexical and grammatical and syntactic nature are an organic part of the writer's poetic language space. And in particular, those based on the repetition of components (polyptoton, adnomination, prosapodosis, antanaclasis, homeoteleuton, anaphora, epiphora,), opposition (antithesis, oxymoron), and accumulation (gradation). The scientist concludes that the mentioned figurative and expressive means have a powerful stylistic potential and contribute to the reproduction of the main motives of the considered collection (the rapidity of life, thoughts about the end of the earthly journey, love for mother and faith in God).

The relevance of the chosen topic is substantiated, research tasks and methods are formulated, literary sources of analysis are indicated, and the compositional structure of the article is outlined. A brief overview of the theoretical material and a working definition of the linguistic category of negation are presented, the main terms are defined, and the main approaches to the interpretation of the category of negation are defined in domestic and foreign sources. The objection is considered in the views of scientists of various fields of linguistics.Attention is drawn to the historical issues of language development, namely: the use of multiple negation and its separate subtypes in different periods of the English language. The specifics and pragma-functional features of the speech of British youth are determined. Emphasis is placed on the psychological and linguistic (discourse) development of adolescents. Part of the article is devoted to the level analysis of systemic means of negation in terms of their functioning in the text. The pragmatic character of units-components of negative intensification is described.Along with the main laws, narrower points are also involved: presented, analyzed and divided into classes and semantic subcategories and idioms with negative polarity in modern English. The focus of the article is the context as an independent object of observation, which proves the undeniable pragmatic motivation of negation in modern English writing and speech. The results of the research are summarized, the main characteristics of which are the establishment of functional equality of all means of negation at each language level, in the text and in speech; and also -in revealing their unlimited possibilities for the transfer of negative information of the most varied volume.

Reflections on rurality stigma associated with teen-fatherhood
Authors: Rantho Katlego Magdeline , Matlakala Frans Koketso
Published: August 2023

There is stereotypical thinking in communities when coming to parenthood. Most community members believe that only mothers are capable of caring for the child. Most community members see teen fathers as unresponsible community members who indulge into different drugs. This stereotypical thinking mainly occurs in rural areas wherein grandparents will deny the biological father rights to care for the child. Due to the rejection and other social ills that come to place, some fathers find substances as an escape route or coping mechanism. This paper is aimed at identifying and mapping available literature on rurality stigma associated with teen fatherhood and substance use. The researcher adopted scoping review as the research design and purposively sampled articles from different database such as ScienceDirect, Ebscohost and Google Scholar. Data was then analyzed thematically.
Women's agency during the COVID-19 pandemic in the absence of male migrants: changing gender roles and social relations
Authors: Uddin Main
Published: August 2023

This article is an account of the expression of women’s agency during the COVID-19 pandemic in the absence of male migrants and the subsequent changes in gender roles and social relations in a patriarchal Muslim society in rural Bangladesh. In doing so, the study explores the patterns of local and transborder networks of women during the pandemic and their strategies for household survival amid hardship. The study is based on 25 in-depth interviews, 10 life history interviews and 3 informal group discussions with women and men from migrant and returned migrant households. The findings of the study indicate that although there is no significant change in the roles of women in extended or joint households, some women in nuclear households are engaged in income-generating activities and are active for the survival of household members during the COVID-19 pandemic whereas in some exceptional cases, women consider the time as an opportunity to increase the household income by applying their intelligence and wisdom. The study follows intersectional and post-structural approaches and suggests that the pandemic period creates a situation, in which some women in migrant households get the advantages to widen their room for maneuver within patriarchal social codes. The study thus contributes to the field of migration and feminism

The quest for boosting agricultural yields due to increased stress on food production has inevitably brought about the indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers and different agrochemicals. Biofertilizers facilitate the overall growth and yield of crops in an eco-friendly manner. They comprise residing or dormant microbes implemented in the soil or used for treating crop seeds. One of the most applicants in this respect is rhizobacteria. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are an important group of beneficial, root-colonizing bacteria. They exhibit harmonious and divergent interactions with the soil microbiota and interact in an array of activities of ecological meaning. They encourage plant growth by facilitating biotic and abiotic stress tolerance and aid the nutrition of host plants. Due to their lively growth endorsing activities, PGPRs are considered an eco-friendly alternative to dangerous chemical fertilizers. Chemical fertilizers used in agriculture to improve yields and eradicate pathogens, however, negatively influence the ecosystem. The doubts over pesticide side effects, there is a growing interest in better thoughtfulhelpful interactions between plants and rhizosphere microbial populations. As a result, biological agents are in high demand around the world. The use of plant growth-promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR). They have a crucial function in increasing soil fertility, promoting plant growth, and suppressing phytopathogens for the development of environmentally friendly sustainable agriculture.In this section, we try to devise a strategy for increasing crop output and health, developing sustainable agriculture, and commercialization through the use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria.

The hydropyrolysis of inorganic (or mineral) material is also important because most inorganic compounds in the presence of hydrogen form hydrides which are also fuels. In this work, we were interested in heterogeneous kinetics under a dynamic (non-isothermal) regime, with selected heating rates of 21Â°C/min, 15Â°C/min and 9Â°C/min. The oil shale layers studied, Z0, Z1, Z2, Z3 and Z4, come from the Tarfaya deposit (Morocco). The microthermobalance is the Red-Croft (A.Attaoui et al: 2022). In the dynamic regime, several application models are considered, and we adopted the Coast-Redfern approximation to arrive at the activation energies for this reaction. This model enabled us to find these activation energies for the Z2 and Z3 layers for the heating rate of 21Â°C/min. A development of approach was adapted using also the values of the DTG found in coupling with the TG of the Red-Croft to determine the activation energies of all the layers of the deposit and at all the heating rates.

The aim was to study the population dynamics of aquatic molluscs in relation to abiotic variables in the fluvio-lacustrine zone of the Soubre hydroelectric dam, in order to determine its bioecological status. The Mollusc class and physico-chemical parameters were sampled monthly in two periods, the first from July 2019 to February 2020 and the second from March 2021 to June 2021 at six (06) sampling stations. The total abundance was 16,885 individuals divided into 16 taxa belonging to two (02) classes, five (05) orders and ten (10) families were identified. The stations located in the lake recorded the highest number of individuals, while the TIE station (Tieme, 13 taxa) located in the fluvial environment was the most diverse of all the sampling sites. Taxa such as MelanoÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â¯des tuberculata, Indoplanorbis exustus and Viviparus sp. appeared frequently in all the sampling stations. Focused Principal Correspondence Analysis (FPCA) revealed that turbidity, TDS and dissolved oxygen had a strong influence on the abundance of molluscs at the sites studied. Several species studied in our environment are important intermediate hosts of parasites, in particular Planorbidae (Indoplanorbis exustus), which represents a potential risk to public health. However, three invasive taxa, Aplexa marmorata, Indoplanorbis exustus and MelanoÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â¯des tuberculatawere collected. The biological condition of the sampling sites was generally good. Assuming that the ecological state of the sediments in the lake environment is not yet damaged.

Published: August 2023

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are the foundation for advancing the nation’s economy. According to the mapping of MSMEs actors in Indonesia, 64.5% of total MSMEs were micro-scaled enterprises managed by women. Expanding women’s businesses positively impacts economic recovery; therefore, women’s empowerment must be appropriately implemented. This study aimed to obtain empirical data regarding women’s empowerment in the fashion sector of MSMEs in Bandung. This research used a quantitative non-experimental approach with convenience sampling and was conducted with 115 women entrepreneurs of MSMEs in the online and offline fashion sector in Bandung. The research results show that women entrepreneurs of MSMEs with good women’s empowerment can help themselves improve their per­formance in entrepreneurship to create progress for women’s MSMEs. Education is a very important factor for women to be more empowered. An annual omzet on a Microscale allows women to be empowered and direct them­selves better because they feel more competent with the risks of small-scale businesses. Women entrepreneurs must retain and expand their women’s empowerment to realise their inner potential to enhance the performance and business they are now conducting.
Kongres Ulama Perempuan Indonesia (KUPI) and Mubādalah Approach in Interpreting the Gender Biased-Qur'anic Verses
Authors: Junaidi Akhmad Arif
Published: August 2023

Conventional interpretation of the Quran often leads to the understanding that the verses are gender biased. This study is intended to discuss the mubādalah approach used by Kongres Ulama Perempuan Indonesia (KUPI) in interpreting the verses of the Qur’an that are considered gender bias. The question is how the Qur’an can be interpreted and how it can be explained. This study is a library study, focusing entirely on the existing library data. The study uses descriptive analysis with a hermeneutic approach, a tafsir analysis that considers the context of interpretation. This study concluded that the mubādalah approach that becomes the “official approach” of KUPI is relevant for interpreting gender biased-verses of the Qur’an. It is because the traditional and conventional interpretation makes it as if the verses of the Qur’an subordinate women, maltreating women in their relationship with men. Inter­pretation of the Quranic verses considered gender biased with the mubādalah approach in the context of the KUPI struggle is an appropriate advocative interpretation model for the improvement and fairness of gender relations.

Published: August 2023

Water treatment is necessary to ensure the availability of clean and safe water for various uses. Integrating Internet of Things (IoT) technology with water purification systems has shown enormous potential in recent years for enhancing the efficiency and efficacy of the treatment process. Monitoring the disposal of sewage in treatment facilities is the primary obstacle. As a result, a Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, including the IoT, has been proposed to ensure the proper operation of these sewer systems and limit the risk of overflow and malfunction. In this paper, we suggest a novel approach that blends Deep Belief Networks (DBNs) with an IoT-based water treatment system equipped with a SCADA system for increased monitoring and control. An IoT–SCADA system can be implemented at various wastewater collection and treatment phases. Secondly, incorporating DBNs enhances the system's predictive capabilities, enabling proactive maintenance and decision-making to prevent potential failures and optimize resource allocation. The proposed technique computes the efficacy of the effluent treatment facility and ensures that chemical emissions do not exceed permissible limits. Furthermore, Complex Event Processing (CEP) can be utilized to evaluate and analyze the massive influx of real-time data sets provided by IoT sensors.

Pyrrolo[2,3-D]Pyrimidines as EGFR and VEGFR Kinase Inhibitors: A Comprehensive SAR Review
Authors: Metwally Kamel , Abo-Dya Nader E.
Published: August 2023

:

Tyrosine kinases are implicated in a wide array of cellular physiological processes,
including cell signaling. The discovery of the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor
imatinib and its FDA approval in 2001 paved the way for the development of small molecule
chemical entities of diverse structural backgrounds as tyrosine kinase inhibitors for
the treatment of various ailments. Two of the most prominent tyrosine kinases as drug targets
are the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the vascular endothelial growth
factor receptor (VEGFR), as evidenced by the clinical success of their many inhibitors in
the drug market. Among several other physiological roles, EGFR regulates epithelial tissue
development and homeostasis, while VEGFR regulates tumor-induced angiogenesis.
The pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine nucleus represents a deaza-isostere of adenine, the nitrogenous
base of ATP. The recent introduction of many pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines to the drug
market as tyrosine kinase inhibitors makes them a hot topic in the medicinal chemistry research
area at the present time. This review article comprehensively sheds light on the
structure-activity relationship (SAR) of pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines as EGFR and VEGFR
tyrosine kinase inhibitors, aiming to provide help medicinal chemists in the design of future
pyrrolopyrimidine kinase inhibitors.

Methods:

To map research in this area as well as to identify any existing gaps in knowledge on the potential
role of Cav2.3 in pain signalling, we conducted this scoping review. We searched PubMed and
SCOPUS databases, and 40 articles were included in this study. Besides, we organized the studies into
5 types of categories within the broader context of the role of Cav2.3 in pain and analgesia.

Results:

Some studies revealed the expression of Cav2.3 in pain pathways, especially in nociceptive
neurons at the sensory ganglia. Other studies demonstrated that Cav2.3-mediated currents could be inhibited
by analgesic/antinociceptive drugs either indirectly or directly. Some articles indicated that
Cav2.3 modulates nociceptive transmission, especially at the pre-synaptic level at spinal sites. There
are studies using different rodent pain models and approaches to reduce Cav2.3 activity or expression
and mostly demonstrated a pro-nociceptive role of Cav2.3, despite some contradictory findings and
deficiencies in the description of study design quality. There are three studies that reported the association
of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the Cav2.3 gene (CACNA1E) with postoperative pain and
opioid consumption as well as with the prevalence of migraine in patients.

Conclusion:

Cav2.3 is a target for some analgesic drugs and has a pro-nociceptive role in pain.
Synthesis, Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Activity of Some New
Pyrazolines Containing Azo Linkages
Authors: Hussein Awaz Jamil
Published: August 2023

Background:

Pyrazolines and azo-pyrazolines are influential groups of heterocyclic compounds with two nitrogen atoms inside the five-membered ring. They play an important role in a wide range of biological processes, such as antifungal, antioxidant, antimalarial and other antimi-crobial activities.

Objective:

The main objective of this study is to synthesize some new heterocyclic compounds with antioxidant and antimicrobial activity.

Methods:

One-pot three components and traditional synthesis of new azo-pyrazoline compounds were achieved in this work. The preparation process has been started by diazotizing 4-(6-methylbenzothiazol-2-yl) benzamine and its coupling reaction with 4-hydroxy acetophenone pro-ducing azo-acetophenone, followed by benzylation with benzyl chloride to form the starting materi-al, azo-benzyloxy acetophenone. A series of substituted benzaldehydes were reacted with the latter compound via one pot and classical methods, forming new chalcones containing azo linkages and benzyloxy moieties, which were then converted into new target azo-pyrazoline derivatives.

Results:

The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic techniques using FT-IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and 13C- DEPT- 135 spectra. Finally, the synthesized compounds were screened for their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

Conclusion:

Overall, the one-pot three-component synthesis of pyrazoline compounds generally provides advantages in terms of efficiency, simplicity, and time-consumption compared to classical synthesis methods. Hence, the study advocates the one-pot method because it eliminates the tedious process of making chalcones, which takes time, materials, and unnecessary effort. Therefore, this is the most convenient and effective approach to green chemistry.
A Tunable Plasmonic Perfect Absorber based on Graphene and Two
Metal-insulator Substructures
Authors: Madadi Zahra , Lafmejani Samaneh Rasoolian
Published: August 2023

Background:

In recent decades, numerous researchers have been keenly interested in
plasmonic absorbers due to their efficiency in a variety of applications such as solar cells. This is
because the surface plasmons formed at the interface between metal and insulators interact strongly
with light, thereby augmenting electromagnetic (EM) waves. In most cases, plasmonic absorbers
featuring metal-insulated-metal structure (MIM) are favored for their robust absorption rates,
straightforward fabrication process, minuscule size, and portability.

Methods:

This paper proposes a tunable plasmonic perfect absorber (PPA) based on graphene and
two metal-insulator substructure within the 28-60 μm wavelength range. This device is simulated
by 3D finite element analysis using CST software. Also, in our proposed structure, instead of using
a single micro-blade, two micro-blades are arranged opposite of each other in the absorber
structure through which the electric field is locally strengthened and a sharper resonance peak
with greater amplitude is obtained.

Results:

Simulation results demonstrate that a resonance peak is observable in the absorption
spectrum of the structure and that this peak can be shifted between 30μm and 40μm by applying a
gate bias voltage to the graphene nanolayer without modification of the structure's dimensions.

Conclusion:

The features of this absorber make it suitable for sensor applications, which will be
further explored in future research. We also investigated the influence of dimensions on absorption
to take into account the allowable tolerances and sensitivities associated with its fabrication.
Furthermore, we proposed a structure that can enhance absorber performance in the future.

Published: August 2023

Purpose:

Stuttering is a fluency disorder that mostly begins in childhood and affects many people in our societies. No standardized screening tools are available to check for stuttering in the Indian school-going population. Thus, the study aimed at developing a screening tool to identify children who stutter among the school-going population using a Delphi-based approach.

Methods:

This study was carried out in four phases. During the first phase, five Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) were asked about the need for screening and the nature & attributes of a stuttering screening test for school-going children. The second phase involved constructing appropriate stimuli for the screening tool based on expert opinion, relevant literature and students’ academic textbooks. The third phase involved content validation of the speech elicitation stimuli by four teachers, five SLPs and an English Lecturer teaching in a university. The fourth phase encompassed the development of differential diagnosis criteria for stuttering identification in children using a rank analysis of the expert opinions.

Results:

A stuttering screening stimuli comprising age, language and culture-specific reading, picture description and narration tasks for 1st to 10th-standard students was developed. The contents of the tool obtained satisfactory consensus of agreement among the panel of experts. Further, the tool outlined five critical diagnostic criteria which could differentially diagnose school-going children with stuttering from typically speaking counterparts using the developed material.

Conclusion:

The developed screening tool could help practicing clinicians quickly identify stuttering in school-going populations. This would enable early identification and build up the statistical data to estimate the prevalence of stuttering among the school-going population. Further studies examining the psychometric properties of the developed test are in progress.
Гашение детонационного горения водородно-воздушной смеси в плоском канале
Authors: Левин В.А. , Журавская Т.А.
Published: August 2023

Представлены результаты численного исследования взаимодействия сформированной ячеистой волны детонации, распространяющейся в заполненном покоящейся стехиометрической водородно-воздушной смесью плоском канале, с расположенными на внутренней поверхности канала множественными препятствиями (барьерами). Исследовано влияние геометрических параметров области с препятствиями на распространение детонации. Обнаружено, что локализация препятствий в углублении стенки канала приводит к снижению их разрушающего воздействия на волну. Изучена возможность гашения детонации расположенным вдоль стенки канала слоем воздуха, ограниченным одиночными барьерами. Установлено, что заполнение области с серией барьеров воздухом или аргоном усиливает их разрушающее воздействие на волну, способствуя тем самым гашению детонационного горения. Ключевые слова:: плоский канал, детонация, множественные препятствия, слой воздуха, разрушение детонации.

Authors: Au Jessica , Falloon Caitlin , Ravi Ayngaran , Ha Phil , Le Suong
Published: August 2023

Background

Health literacy is low among patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) and associated with poor health outcomes and increased health care use. Lucy LiverBot, an artificial intelligence chatbot was created by a multidisciplinary team at Monash Health, Australia, to improve health literacy and self-efficacy in patients with decompensated CLD.

Objective

The aim of this study was to explore users’ experience with Lucy LiverBot using an unmoderated, in-person, qualitative test.

Methods

Lucy LiverBot is a simple, low cost, and scalable digital intervention, which was at the beta prototype development phase at the time of usability testing. The concept and prototype development was realized in 2 phases: concept development and usability testing. We conducted a mixed methods study to assess usability of Lucy LiverBot as a tool for health literacy education among ambulatory and hospitalized patients with decompensated CLD at Monash Health. Patients were provided with free reign to interact with Lucy LiverBot on an iPad device under moderator observation. A 3-part survey (preuser, user, and postuser) was developed using the Unified Acceptance Theory Framework to capture the user experience.

Results

There were 20 participants with a median age of 55.5 (IQR 46.0-60.5) years, 55% (n=11) of them were female, and 85% (n=17) of them were White. In total, 35% (n=7) of them reported having difficulty reading and understanding written medical information. Alcohol was the predominant etiology in 70% (n=14) of users. Participants actively engaged with Lucy LiverBot and identified it as a potential educational tool and device that could act as a social companion to improve well-being. In total, 25% (n=5) of them reported finding it difficult to learn about their health problems and 20% (n=4) of them found it difficult to find medical information they could trust. Qualitative interviews revealed the conversational nature of Lucy LiverBot was considered highly appealing with improvement in mental health and well-being reported as an unintended benefit of Lucy LiverBot. Patients who had been managing their liver cirrhosis for several years identified that they would be less likely to use Lucy LiverBot, but that it would have been more useful at the time of their diagnosis. Overall, Lucy LiverBot was perceived as a reliable and trustworthy source of information.

Conclusions

Lucy LiverBot was well received and may be used to improve health literacy and address barriers to health care provision in patients with decompensated CLD. The study revealed important feedback that has been used to further optimize Lucy LiverBot. Further acceptability and validation studies are being undertaken to investigate whether Lucy LiverBot can improve clinical outcomes and health related quality of life in patients with decompensated CLD.
