You Dandang : Negotiating Masculinity in Practices of Intimacy
Authors: Cao Siyang
Published: August 2022

Chapter 4 mainly concerns Chinese young men’s interpretations and practices of intimacy between couples. The men articulated you dandang – being willing to shoulder responsibilities and capable of fulfilling male roles – as the key criterion of masculinity in the intimate sphere. It considers how this leading masculine discourse in the intimate sphere has influenced the young men’s visions and practices of intimacy, all of which occur in an inherently relational and interactive manner. Moreover, it discusses the alternative strategies deployed by the men who are not capable of accomplish you dandang. The construction of intimacy is undertaken within structural conditions, and also networks of personal relationships that are energized by enduring, albeit reworked, Confucian ethics.
Polarization-insensitive 1D unidirectional compact grating coupler for the C-band using a 500  nm SOI
Authors: Nisar Muhammad Shemyal , Lu Liangjun
Published: August 2022

Grating couplers are an important optical interconnect and have increasingly found their utility in sensing and LIDARs as well. Optical systems in general have been struggling to increase their bandwidths, making polarization insensitivity highly desirable. The standard 220 nm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform used for integrated photonics suffers from physical bottlenecks in the form of large modal differences in effective refractive index, propagation loss, and dispersion. In this paper, we present a grating coupler for polarization-insensitive coupling with polarization-dependent loss of less than 0.2 dB for more than 80% of the C-band on an alternative 500 nm SOI platform. We further show that the same design can be extended to polarization inflexible coupling and can reduce the polarization-dependent loss to less than 0.08 dB for the complete C-band. This platform is devoid of shortcomings, making it better suited for polarization-insensitive photonics, and the coupler is able to achieve these results through a simple and compact 1D design.
Long-distance pattern projection through an unfixed multimode fiber with natural evolution strategy-based wavefront shaping

Published: August 2022

Focusing light into an arbitrary pattern through complex media is desired in energy delivery-related scenarios and has been demonstrated feasible with the assistance of wavefront shaping. However, it still encounters challenges in terms of pattern fidelity and focusing contrast, especially in a noisy and perturbed environment. In this work, we show that the strategy relying on natural gradient ascent-based parameter optimization can help to resist noise and disturbance, enabling rapid wavefront optimization towards high-quality pattern projection through complex media. It is revealed that faster convergence and better robustness can be achieved compared with existing phase control algorithms. Meanwhile, a new fitness function based on cosine similarity is adopted for the algorithm, leading to higher focusing contrast without sacrificing similarity to the target pattern. As a result, long-distance projection of an arbitrary pattern can be accomplished with considerably enhanced performance through a 15-meter multimode fiber that is not fixed and susceptible to perturbation. With further engineering, the approach may find special interests for many biomedical applications, such as deep-tissue photon therapy and optogenetics, where free-space localized optical delivery encounters challenges.

Published: August 2022

The coordination of piezoelectric and plasmonic effects to regulate the separation and migration of photo-generated carriers is still a significant method to improve the performance of visible-light photoresponse. Herein, we propose the PVDF@Ag-ZnO/Au composite nanofiber membranes utilizing the piezoelectric and plasmonic effects to promote the photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes. Here, ZnO nanorods can generate a built-in electric field under vibration to separate electron-hole pairs. The Schottky junction formed by noble metal/semiconductor can not only inhibit the recombination of photo-generated carriers and accelerate the migration of carriers, but also enhance the utilization of visible light. In addition, the structure has excellent flexibility and easy recycling characteristics. We demonstrate that the plasmonic effect of noble metal can enhance the light response of membranes and broaden light absorption from ultraviolet to visible light region. With the help of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), modulation effects of the piezoelectric effect on light response is proved. For catalytic processes, rhodamine B (98.8%) can be almost completely degraded using PVDF@Ag-ZnO/Au within 120 minutes in the piezoelectric photocatalysis process, which is 2.2 and 2.8 times higher than photocatalysis and piezoelectric catalysis, respectively. This work provides a promising strategy for harnessing solar and mechanical energy.
Manipulating the polarization dynamics in a >10-GHz Er3+/Yb3+ fiber Fabry-Pérot laser

Published: August 2022

In this work, we report on the vector and scalar soliton dynamics that result from inevitable fiber birefringence in an 8-mm Er3+/Yb3+ fiber based Fabry-Férot (FP) laser that has a free spectral range of up to 12.5 GHz. The generation of polarization-evolving vector solitons can largely degrade the performance of application systems, and the underlying mechanisms and manipulation technologies are yet to be explored. To realize the transition from vector to scalar (linearly polarized) state, we here incorporate the polarization selection effect (PSE) in the simulation model and the numerical results verify that only a small amount of PSE is sufficient for manipulating the soliton dynamics. It also reveals that, prominent polarization-dependent intensity discrimination can be acquired via geometry-induced oblique incidence to the Bragg mirror of the semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM), and we obtain switchable operating states by tilting the SESAM in the experiments. These efforts create a feasible method to manipulate high-repetition-rate pulse and may shed light on understanding the dissipative soliton dynamics in ultrafast fiber FP lasers.

Published: August 2022

Mode-division multiplexing (MDM) is a promising solution to improve data transmission capacity for future optical interconnect networks. Mode converters and mode filters play a key role in on-chip MDM systems. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a device, enabling mode conversion and filtering simultaneously, which is composed of asymmetrical directional couplers with subwavelength gratings, in a small footprint of 14.7 µm × 1.42 µm. The device can realize optical mode conversion between the first-order transverse electric (TE) mode and the fundamental TE mode, and can also filter the fundamental TE mode efficiently. The conversion efficiency is over 95%, with a broad 1 dB bandwidth over 80 nm and a high mode extinction ratio of >29 dB. As a mode filter, strong mode elimination of >30 dB is achieved.

Authors: Álvarez-Marcos Ainara , Luis Alfredo
Published: August 2022

We derive a quantum version of the classical-optics Wiener–Khintchine theorem within the framework of detection of phase-space displacements with a suitably designed quantum ruler. A phase-space-based quantum mutual coherence function is introduced that includes the contribution of the detector. We obtain an universal equality linking resolution with coherence. This is illustrated with the case of Gaussian states and number states.
System to eliminate the graininess of an integral imaging 3D display by using a transmissive mirror device
Authors: Zhang Han-Le , Ma Xiao-Li , Lin Xing-Yu , Xing Yan , Wang Qiong-Hua
Published: August 2022

We propose a system to eliminate the graininess of an integral imaging 3D display by using a transmissive mirror device (TMD). The proposed system consists of a 2D display, a micro-lens array (MLA), and a TMD. The TMD comprises square apertures with mirror-reflective inner wall. The light rays pass through the square aperture to form a diffraction spot, and the diffraction light intensity has a Sinc-function distribution. Therefore, the TMD can be used as an optical low-pass filter. In a certain imaging range, the mainlobe of the Sinc-function distribution is almost unchanged. The TMD has the property of a volumetric optical low-pass filter. It can interpolate the interval between discrete 3D pixels. Therefore, the TMD can be used to eliminate the graininess. The resolution of the 3D image is improved by 2.12 times. The experimental results verify the feasibility of the proposed system.
Light bullets in moiré lattices
Authors: Kartashov Yaroslav V.
Published: August 2022

We predict that photonic moiré lattices produced by two mutually twisted periodic sublattices in a medium with Kerr nonlinearity can support stable three-dimensional (3D) light bullets localized in both space and time. The stability of light bullets and their properties are closely connected with the properties of linear spatial eigenmodes of moiré lattices that undergo localization-delocalization transition (LDT) upon the increase of the depth of one of the sublattices forming the moiré lattice, but only for twist angles corresponding to incommensurate, aperiodic moiré structures. Above the LDT threshold, such incommensurate moiré lattices support stable light bullets without an energy threshold. In contrast, commensurate—or periodic—moiré lattices arising at Pythagorean twist angles, whose eigenmodes are delocalized Bloch waves, can support stable light bullets only above a certain energy threshold. Moiré lattices below the LDT threshold cannot support stable light bullets for our parameters. Our results illustrate that the periodicity/aperiodicity of the underlying lattice is a crucial factor in determining the stability properties of the nonlinear 3D states.
Low temperatures lead to higher toxicity of the fungicide folpet to larval stages of Rana temporaria and Bufotes viridis
Authors: Leeb Christoph , Schuler Laura , Brühl Carsten A. , Theissinger Kathrin
Published: August 2022

Pesticides are one of the main drivers of the worldwide amphibian decline. Their actual toxicity depends on a number of factors, like the species in focus or the developmental stage of exposed individuals. As ectothermic species, the metabolism of amphibians is influenced by ambient temperature. Therefore, temperature also affects metabolic rates and thus processes that might enhance or reduce toxic effects. Studies about the interactive effect of temperature and toxicity on amphibians are rare and deliver contrasting results. To investigate the temperature-dependent pesticide sensitivity of larvae of two European species we conducted acute toxicity tests for the viticultural fungicide Folpan® 500 SC with the active ingredient folpet at different temperatures (6°C, 11°C, 16°C, 21°C, 26°C). Sensitivity of Rana temporaria and Bufotes viridis was highly affected by temperature: early larvae (Gosner stage 20) were about twice more sensitive to Folpan® 500 SC at 6°C compared to 21°C. Next to temperature, species and developmental stage of larvae had an effect on sensitivity. The most sensitive individuals (early stages of R. temporaria at 6°C) were 14.5 times more sensitive than the least sensitive ones (early stages of B. viridis at 26°C). Our results raise concerns about typical ecotoxicological studies with amphibians that are often conducted at temperatures between 15°C and 20°C. We suggest that future test designs should be performed at temperatures that reflect the temperature range amphibians are exposed to in their natural habitats. Variations in the sensitivity due to temperature should also be considered as an uncertainty factor in upcoming environmental risk assessments for amphibians.
Predicting demographic characteristics from anterior segment OCT images with deep learning: A study protocol
Authors: Lee Yun Jeong , Sun Sukkyu , Kim Young Kook
Published: August 2022

Introduction

Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) is a non-contact, rapid, and high-resolutionin vivomodality for imaging of the eyeball’s anterior segment structures. Because progressive anterior segment deformation is a hallmark of certain eye diseases such as angle-closure glaucoma, identification of AS-OCT structural changes over time is fundamental to their diagnosis and monitoring. Detection of pathologic damage, however, relies on the ability to differentiate it from normal, age-related structural changes.

Methods and analysis

This proposed large-scale, retrospective cross-sectional study will determine whether demographic characteristics including age can be predicted from deep learning analysis of AS-OCT images; it will also assess the importance of specific anterior segment areas of the eyeball to the prediction. We plan to extract, from SUPREME®, a clinical data warehouse (CDW) of Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH; Seoul, South Korea), a list of patients (at least 2,000) who underwent AS-OCT imaging between 2008 and 2020. AS-OCT images as well as demographic characteristics including age, gender, height, weight and body mass index (BMI) will be collected from electronic medical records (EMRs). The dataset of horizontal AS-OCT images will be split into training (80%), validation (10%), and test (10%) datasets, and a Vision Transformer (ViT) model will be built to predict demographics. Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) will be used to visualize the regions of AS-OCT images that contributed to the model’s decisions. The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) will be applied to evaluate the model performance.

Conclusion

This paper presents a study protocol for prediction of demographic characteristics from AS-OCT images of the eyeball using a deep learning model. The results of this study will aid clinicians in understanding and identifying age-related structural changes and other demographics-based structural differences.

Sepsis, a life-threatening organ dysfunction, results from dysregulated host responses to infection and still has a high incidence and mortality. Although administration of vasopressors to treat septic shock is standard of care, the benefits are not well established. We evaluated the effect of continuous intravenous norepinephrine infusion in a septic cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) mouse model, evaluating systemic hemodynamics and body temperature post-hoc. CLP surgery significantly decreased mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), heart rate, and body temperature within six hours. Continuous norepinephrine infusion (NE+, n = 12) started at the time of CLP surgery significantly increased MAP at 24 and 30 hours and heart rate at 6, 18, 24, and 30 hours after CLP vs CLP alone (NE-, n = 12). However, addition of norepinephrine did not improve survival rate (NE+ n = 34, NE- n = 31). Early (6 hours or earlier, when the animal became visibly sick) MAP did not predict 7-day mortality. However, heart rates at 3 and at 6 hours after CLP/norepinephrine (NE+) were highly predictive of mortality, as also been found in one clinical study. We conclude that limited hemodynamic support can be provided in a mouse sepsis model. We propose that heart rate can be used to stratify severity of illness in rodent preclinical studies of sepsis therapeutics.

Published: August 2022

The stock market is an important part of the capital market, and the research on the price fluctuation of the stock market has always been a hot topic for scholars. As a dynamic and complex system, the stock market is affected by various factors. However, with the development of information technology, information presents multisource and heterogeneous characteristics, and the transmission speed and mode of information have changed greatly. The explanation and influence of multi-source and heterogeneous information on stock market price fluctuations need further study. In this paper, a graph fusion and embedding method for multi-source heterogeneous information of Chinese stock market is established. Relational dimension information is introduced to realize the effective fusion of multi-source heterogeneous data information. A multi-attention graph neural network based on nodes and semantics is constructed to mine the implied semantics of fusion graph data and capture the influence of multi-source heterogeneous information on stock market price fluctuations. Experiments show that the proposed multi-source heterogeneous information fusion methods is superior to tensor or vector fusion method, and the constructed multi-attention diagram neural network has a better ability to explain stock market price fluctuations.

Determining trophic habits of predator communities is essential to measure interspecific interactions and response to environmental fluctuations. South American fur seals,Arctocephalus australis(SAFS) and sea lionsOtaria byronia(SASL), coexist along the coasts of Peru. Recently, ocean warming events (2014–2017) that can decrease and impoverish prey biomass have occurred in the Peruvian Humboldt Current System. In this context, our aim was to assess the effect of warming events on long-term inter- and intra-specific niche segregation. We collected whisker from SAFS (55 females and 21 males) and SASL (14 females and 22 males) in Punta San Juan, Peru. We used δ13C and δ15N values serially archived in otariid whiskers to construct a monthly time series for 2005–2019. From the same period we used sea level anomaly records to determine shifts in the predominant oceanographic conditions using a change point analysis. Ellipse areas (SIBER) estimated niche width of species-sex groups and their overlap. We detected a shift in the environmental conditions marking two distinct periods (P1: January 2005—October 2013; P2: November 2013—December 2019). Reduction in δ15N in all groups during P2 suggests impoverished baseline values with bottom-up effects, a shift towards consuming lower trophic level prey, or both. Reduced overlap between all groups in P2 lends support of a more redundant assemblage during the colder P1 to a more trophically segregated assemblage during warmer P2. SASL females show the largest variation in response to the warming scenario (P2), reducing both ellipse area and δ15N mean values. Plasticity to adapt to changing environments and feeding on a more available food source without fishing pressure can be more advantageous for female SASL, albeit temporary trophic bottom-up effects. This helps explain larger population size of SASL in Peru, in contrast to the smaller and declining SAFS population.
Prioritized and predictive intelligence of things enabled waste management model in smart and sustainable environment

Published: August 2022

Collaborative modelling of the Internet of Things (IoT) with Artificial Intelligence (AI) has merged into the Intelligence of Things concept. This recent trend enables sensors to track required parameters and store accumulated data in cloud storage, which can be further utilized by AI based predictive models for automatic decision making. In a smart and sustainable environment, effective waste management is a concern. Poor regulation of waste in surrounding areas leads to rapid spread of contagious disease risks. Traditional waste object management requires more working staff, increases effort, consumes time and is relatively ineffective. In this research, an Intelligence of Things Enabled Smart Waste Management (IoT-SWM) model with predictive capabilities is developed. Here, local sinks (LS) are deployed in specified locations. At every instant, the current status of smart bins in each LS is notified to users to determine the priority level of LS to be emptied. Based on aggregated sensor values for the three smart bins, LS weight and poison gas value, the priority order of emptying LS is computed, and decision is made whether to notify the users with an alert message or not. It also helps in predicting the LS, which is likely to be filled up at a faster rate based on assigned timestamp. This model is implemented in real time with many LS and it was observed that bins, which were close to more crowded sites filled up faster compared to sparse populated areas. Random forest algorithm was used to predict whether an alert notification is to be sent or not. An average mean of 95.8% accuracy was noted while using 60 decision trees in random forest algorithm. The average mean execution latency recorded for training and testing sets is 13.06 sec and 14.39 sec respectively. Observed accuracy rate, precision, recall and f1-score parameters were 95.8%, 96.5%, 98.5% and 97.2% respectively. Model buildup and the validation time computed were 3.26 sec and 4.25 sec respectively. It is also noted that at a threshold value of 0.93 in LS level, the maximum accuracy rate reached was 95.8%. Thus, based on the prediction of random forest approach, a decision to notify the users is taken. Obtained outcome indicates that the waste level can be efficiently determined, and the overflow of dustbins can be easily checked in time
Methods to promote seed germination in the lacquer tree, Toxicodendron vernicifluum (Stokes) F.A. Barkley

Published: August 2022

The lacquer tree, Toxicodendron vernicifluum, is a common industrial crop in East Asia. However, T. vernicifluum seeds are extremely difficult to germinate, which poses a major obstacle to establishing seedlings for sap production. In this study, we examined the germination properties of T. vernicifluum seeds in order to establish an inexpensive and effective method to promote seed germination. The seeds are covered with a hard endocarp, which we degrade using conventional sulfuric acid-based methods. Although sulfuric acid was effective in promoting seed germination, the germination rate was less than 5%. In addition to treatment with sulfuric acid, co-treatment with cold temperatures or the phytohormone gibberellic acid increased the germination rate to 22–35%. Seed viability analysis combined with specific gravity-based seed selection revealed that more than half of the seeds housed embryos that were incapable of germination. In additions, specific gravity-based seed selection aided in the selection of seeds capable of germination and improved the germination rate to approximately 47%. Taken together, our results suggest that the low germination rate of T. vernicifluum seeds is due to deep seed dormancy—which is controlled by physical and physiological mechanisms—and low embryo viability. To improve the germination rate of T. vernicifluum seeds, we propose an effective method whereby seeds with good germination capacity are selected based on specific gravity, following which their physiological dormancy is inactivated through cold pretreatment.

Background

While healthcare workers (HCWs) are at risk of occupational exposure to SARS-CoV-2 infection, the virus transmission involving them might be exceeding in the non-occupational settings. This study examined the extent of adherence to infection prevention practices (IPPs) against COVID-19 in their daily life and its associated factors among staff members in a national medical center designated for COVID-19 treatment in Tokyo, Japan.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted in July 2020 among 1,228 staff of National Center for Global Health and Medicine (NCGM). We asked participants about their adherence on six IPPs recommended by the WHO in their daily lives, which included wearing masks, maintaining hand and respiratory hygiene, avoiding 3Cs and social distancing. We defined 100% adherence (6 points) to IPPs as good adherence and run logistic regression model to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of IPPs.

Results

Nearly 100% of NCGM staff members adhered to four out of six IPPs assessed in this study: washing or sanitizing hands (99.6%), good cough etiquette (99.6%), wearing mask (98.9%), and avoiding 3Cs (98.3%). Doctors (AOR = 2.18, CI: 1.36–3.49) and female staff members (AOR = 1.95, CI: 1.36–3.49) were more likely to adhere to IPPs compared with non-clinical staffs and male counterparts. Good adherence to IPPs tended to increase with older age, with highest adherence among those who were 50 years or above (AOR = 2.53, CI: 1.49–4.29).

Conclusion

This study revealed that the IPPs among NCGM staff was remarkably good. Older and female staff members, and doctors showed a higher adhere to IPPs compared with their counterparts. Additional effort to improve adherence to IPPs among the younger and male staff members could contribute to reduce infection risk in their daily life, which can eventually prevent nosocomial infection.

Published: August 2022

Disorders (or differences) of Sex Development (DSD) comprise a state of genetic, gonadal and genital variation. Among the conditions associated with DSD is cloacal exstrophy, a rare congenital malformation part of the exstrophy-epispadias malformation complex. Thus, the case of a patient with rare involvement of DSD 46, XY cloacal exstrophy associated with diphallia who underwent surgical treatment for female urogenital reconstruction is reported. The patient's electronic medical record was reviewed after presenting and accepting the Informed Consent. Sociodemographic and clinical-epidemiological variables and pre- and postoperative data were analyzed. The patient was 20 years old, white and raised considering to be female. She was born with cloacal exstrophy, with severe morphological changes in the external genitalia, and submitted to terminal ileostomy, cystoplasty, and rudimentary large bowel colectomy during the neonatal period. At 13 years of age, the patient reported discomfort with the appearance of her external genitalia and the need for constant use of diapers due to urinary incontinence. The patient underwent reconstruction of the urinary and genital tracts during adolescence besides a genitoplasty followed by regular vaginal dilation. At age 17, she reported feeling satisfied with the surgical result, denied discomfort with the current aspect of her genitalia and mentioned identifying herself with the female and male genders, with increased adherence to typically female behaviors. A supposedly favorable outcome in the late adolescence of a DSD 46, XY cloacal exstrophy subject who underwent surgical adaptation for sexual definition after a multidisciplinary approach was reported. The patient revealed a non-binary gender identity, absence of gender dysphoria, satisfaction with her own body and androphilic sexual orientation.

Rational points on fibrations with few non-split fibres
Authors: Harpaz Yonatan , Wei Dasheng , Wittenberg Olivier
Published: August 2022

We revisit the abstract framework underlying the fibration method for producing rational points on the total space of fibrations over the projective line. By fine-tuning its dependence on external arithmetic conjectures, we render the method unconditional when the degree of the non-split locus is≤2{\leq 2}, as well as in various instances where it is 3. We are also able to obtain improved results in the regime that is conditionally accessible under Schinzel’s hypothesis, by incorporating into it, for the first time, a technique due to Harari for controlling the Brauer–Manin obstruction in families.

Objectives

Intracranial hemorrhages are common events in premature infants but in fetal life those incidents are often of ominous prognosis and unknown etiology.

Case presentation

We present the diagnosis, evolution and management of a fetal hemorrhagic accident associated with an inherited maternal microdeletion of the chromosome 16 short arm. Abnormal neurosonography in routine second trimester ultrasound led to follow up. Fetal germinal matrix hemorrhage along with severe asymmetric ventriculomegaly and a secondary periventricular cyst developed in the early third trimester. Array CGH showed microdeletion 16p11.2.

Conclusions

This microdeletion had not been previously associated with fetal intracranial hemorrhage.
Language labeling and ideology in Indonesia
Authors: Abtahian Maya Ravindranath , Cohn Abigail C. , Yanti
Published: August 2022

As part of a large survey project designed to examine language shift in Indonesia, we examine speakers’ categorization and labeling of the language varieties in their repertoire with respect to language ideologies and the language ecology of Indonesia. This paper is both a methodological paper – arguing for the usefulness of surveys in the investigation of language shift scenarios – as well as an initial report of findings from those surveys, focusing on how speakers in different parts of Indonesia name language varieties. We demonstrate the benefits of a survey with open-ended questions about linguistic repertoire in investigating the use of particular language labels as markers of local and national identity and discuss these in terms of differences in local language ecologies on the islands of Bali, Java, and Sumatra. In addition, we report on how language labels are used in different communities in Indonesia in the context of different local ecologies, and against a backdrop of widespread reported language shift from the local languages of the Indonesian archipelago to the national language Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia), following decades of successful language planning efforts promoting Indonesian as a unifying language in a linguistically diverse nation.

Adulte interfollicular epidermis (IFE) renewal is likely orchestrated by physiological demands of its complex tissue architecture comprising spatial and cellular heterogeneity. Mouse tail and back skin display two kinds of basal IFE spatial domains that regenerate at different rates. Here, we elucidate the molecular and cellular states of basal IFE domains by marker expression and single‐cell transcriptomics in mouse and human skin. We uncover two paths of basal cell differentiation that in part reflect the IFE spatial domain organization. We unravel previously unrecognized similarities between mouse tail IFE basal domains defined as scales and interscales versus human rete ridges and inter‐ridges, respectively. Furthermore, our basal IFE transcriptomics and gene targeting in mice provide evidence supporting a physiological role of IFE domains in adaptation to differential UV exposure. We identify Sox6 as a novel UV‐induced and interscale/inter‐ridge preferred basal IFE‐domain transcription factor, important for IFE proliferation and survival. The spatial, cellular, and molecular organization of IFE basal domains underscores skin adaptation to environmental exposure and its unusual robustness in adult homeostasis.
Video and audio platforms for improving listening skills in Spanish´s students of EFL: A preliminary and descriptive study
Authors: Leguizamon del Portillo Juliana , Bernal-Ballen Andres
Published: August 2022

Learning English as a foreign language can be challenging because it requires the development of tools which allows an effective communication process. In this sense, the phonetic differences between Spanish and English are one of the reasons why it is difficult to develop listening skills for Spanish native speakers. Thus, in this research, a didactic strategy based on common audio and video platforms was designed in order to improve this ability in a sample of students. The sample was selected at convenience and consisted of fifteen students from an English intermediate course. The strategy was divided into three parts: a diagnostic test to demonstrate the level of listening; learning activities; and an exit test. A descriptive study was conducted. The obtained results showed students’ progressive improvement in pragmatics, understanding, and intonation. In addition, the results indicated that the use of alternative methods, mediated by new technologies, seems to be equal or more effective than traditional teaching and a better learning of English is perceived by using remote strategies than in face-to-face ones.
Understanding technical term translation using language translator as Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL)
Authors: Pudjiati Danti , Fitria Tira Nur
Published: August 2022

Language barriers often prevent a person from understanding information. For that, internet users need to know the best mobile application to translate or translate foreign languages. Numerous mobile apps can be used for English language learning. The apps grow as technology improves then apps were created specifically for the purpose to teach any subject. Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) is a prominent practice nowadays. The MALL for translation usage is gradually established for EFL students because of the development of ICT. However, the research that discussed this issue is still far on the ground. This research is conducted to fill this void. There are four concerns to consider namely 1) MALL in improving students’ translation skills, 2) Students’ way of translating technical terms  3) The most translation strategy applied by the students to translate the technical terms (4) Challenges faced by students when translating the technical terms from English into Indonesian by using MALL. This research was carried out with a qualitative method. The data were taken from both an online survey and a semi-structured interview. The findings revealed that the students were helpful to use Language Translator (LT) for translating technical terms, especially in determining word choice. They selected three strategies for translating technical terms, i.e. translation by definition, literal translation, and borrowing. The strategy that the students used was a translation by definition. The challenge that they faced when using MALL was primarily regarding guidance availability. Nonetheless, most of them agreed that the LT was very supportive.
