FEMALE SUBALTERNITY IN HANNA RAMBE'S NOVEL MIRAH DARI BANDA
Authors: Ainur Rahman  , Rahmad Rahmad , Tauhed Supratman Muhammad
Published: October 2023

Subaltern reading begins with an author's view of the conditions that characterize subaltern groups. Subaltern falls within the realm of postcolonial feminism which is a form of alliance between postcolonial theory and feminism, seeks to beat back existing gender, cultural, or racial hierarchies, and rejects binary opposition to patriarchalism or colonialism's constructs of authority. This research tries to reveal the subalternity of women during colonialism in the novel Mirah dari Banda. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative, namely by examining texts that contain subaltern elements. The data in this study are in the form of text sentences or dialogues that reflect subaltern women due to the domination of colonialism. The findings of this study that there are several forms of subaltern experienced by indigenous women (Mirah), including degrading dignity, sexual harassment, physical/verbal violence, obedience to the invaders, and control over others. From some of the research findings, subaltern women do not have a conceptual language to fight against colonial groups or indigenous men, and also women do not have the power to carry out resistance to the hegemonic power of groups in power.
BE AWARE OF WATER ZOMBIES: AN ECOCRITICAL STUDY ON SHUSTERMANS’ DRY
Authors: Sri Sartini  , Endahati Nafisah
Published: October 2023

Natural damage, disaster, and catastrophe can happen due to human mistreatment toward the environment. Thus, there is an urgency to treat the environment better and to sustain the comfortable living of human life. Environmental issues in recent literary works are still tightly engaged due to people's high concern and attention toward the environment’s condition. The condition of the environment has been illustrated in a novel entitled Dry written by Neal and Jarrod Shusterman (2018). Through the ecocriticism literary perspective, this study sought to reveal the conditions of nature as the impact of human mistreatment in the aspect of six concepts brought by Greg Garrard (2004). Using his theory, this study explored the environmental damage and its implication as the result of human exploration of the environment from the aspect of pollution, wilderness, apocalypse, dwelling, animals, and the earth. This study employed content analysis to seek the intended objective. The findings declared that Dry successfully illustrated the existing environmental problems. The human-nature relation from the six concepts was described and exemplified very tightly that it is expected to wake the readers up to pay more concern and care toward the environment. At last, this study implied the need to analyze the human-nature relation through the specific concept of Garrard’s or other kinds of theory to sustain the environment with the ecocriticism perspective.

Published: October 2023

Francis Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby that is written in 1925 records one of the most remarkable decades in American history. American economy “roars” in the interbellum/interwar period with the advancement of technology and the stock market but then it declined by excessive consumerism. This article seeks to identify the changes in the American economy and consumer culture as depicted in Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and the subsequent depression that happened. A new historicism technique is applied to describe some major factors enabling America in the twenties to lead the world’s economy as depicted in the novel and factors ending the development. By using a content analysis technique, data in the form of excerpts from the novel are collected. The data are then analyzed following the thematic analysis principles. The result of the study points out some changes that made America in the twenties roar are the increase of middle-class people, the widespread use of technology, the development of the stock market, the affordability of automobiles, and the freedom to speak and act. The glorious decades came to an end after 1939 when the stock market crashed, consumerism escalated, credit card use expanded and banks got a “panic attack”. The implication for today’s lifestyle is mentioned.
REPRESENTATION OF THE FATHER FIGURE IN PARENTING IN THE LATEST INDONESIAN NOVEL: A STUDY OF FATHER'S MASCULINITY
Authors: Nadia Sutra Lismi  , Anwar Efendi
Published: October 2023

Discussions about masculinity, in general, will be associated with certain stereotypes of masculinity. This study aimed to describe the representation of masculinity-fatherhood in the latest Indonesian novels. This research was descriptive qualitative research using the fatherhood theory by Asy'ari and Ariyanto. Data sources were several novels entitled My Father (Not) a Liar (Tere Liye), Ayah (Andrea Hirata), Saturday with Father (Adhitya Mulya), and Father Loves Without End (Kirana Kejora). The steps of data analysis in this study used the technique stated by Miles, et al (2014: 10-12) which included collecting data by means of repeated reading of the novel manuscript and then marking/coding the data found, condensation, and categorizing, analyzing, and drawing a conclusion. The results of the research showed that there was a male role as a son, husband, or father who participated in the domestic sphere while still making or showing his masculine side who show with communication, responsibility, interaction with children, teaching methods, and supervisory roles. The conclusion was father's involvement in the parenting role was a manifestation of emotional closeness, the father's accessibility, and responsibility in various aspects. This was a form of support for men who are more pro-feminist where men can share roles in various aspects. This paternal role was also shown as a form of crossing over between masculine and feminine gender roles, which was a reaction to the hegemony of masculinity as a form of effort to eradicate the dominant father's role in a family.

The data were analyzed by qualitative descriptive technique through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification employing the feminist literary criticism theory by revealing woman’ discrimination in the position of the subject, the object position, and the position of the reader. The findings and results of this study revealed that there were thirty data of female discrimination in the position of subject, seven of data female discrimination in the position of object and three data on discrimination against women in the position of the reader. Then, this study investigated and found five forms of discrimination against women, namely: (1) marginalization, (2) subordination of women (secondary), (3) female stereotypes (negative labeling), (4) violence against women (violence), (5) women's double workload. This study suggests some points, adults’ reader is encouraged to think openly and not to easily assign any kinds of woman discriminations to other, spread the woman empowerment spirit to others and unnormalize the kind of discrimination against women that are subconsciously recognized, accepted, and judged by other women as well.
SO CLOSE, YET SO FOREIGN: AUSTRALIANS’ AMBIVALENT VIEW TOWARDS INDONESIA IN THREE POEMS
Authors: Eko Rujito Dwi Atmojo  , Ariva Luciandika
Published: October 2023

Literary works embody writers’ view, which is undoubtedly a product of their cultural background and values. Thus, when a western writer writes about eastern themes, his values and worldview as westerner might influence his view towards the East. In the case of Australian writers writing about Indonesia, this notion proves to be problematic. Australians’ ambivalent identity as a people and the stark contrast in sociological, cultural, and historical as well as unique relation between the two countries often result in ambivalence in their view towards Indonesia. Applying postcolonial criticism, this study was endeavoured to uncover Australians’ ambivalent view towards Indonesia portrayed in three poems about Indonesia written by Australian writers. Descriptive-qualitative analysis on the poems revealed that there are ambivalences in how Australians view Indonesia which transcend the dichotomy between the Occident and the Orient. Australians see Indonesia as ‘other’ and at the same time acknowledge the differences and diversities as part of universal reality.
A SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) Analysis of ChatGPT in the Medical Literature: Concise Review
Authors: Gödde Daniel , Nöhl Sophia , Wolf Carina , Rupert Yannick , Rimkus Lukas , Ehlers Jan , Breuckmann Frank , Sellmann Timur
Published: October 2023

Background

ChatGPT is a 175-billion-parameter natural language processing model that is already involved in scientific content and publications. Its influence ranges from providing quick access to information on medical topics, assisting in generating medical and scientific articles and papers, performing medical data analyses, and even interpreting complex data sets.

Objective

The future role of ChatGPT remains uncertain and a matter of debate already shortly after its release. This review aimed to analyze the role of ChatGPT in the medical literature during the first 3 months after its release.

Methods

We performed a concise review of literature published in PubMed from December 1, 2022, to March 31, 2023. To find all publications related to ChatGPT or considering ChatGPT, the search term was kept simple (“ChatGPT” in AllFields). All publications available as full text in German or English were included. All accessible publications were evaluated according to specifications by the author team (eg, impact factor, publication modus, article type, publication speed, and type of ChatGPT integration or content). The conclusions of the articles were used for later SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis. All data were analyzed on a descriptive basis.

Results

Of 178 studies in total, 160 met the inclusion criteria and were evaluated. The average impact factor was 4.423 (range 0-96.216), and the average publication speed was 16 (range 0-83) days. Among the articles, there were 77 editorials (48,1%), 43 essays (26.9%), 21 studies (13.1%), 6 reviews (3.8%), 6 case reports (3.8%), 6 news (3.8%), and 1 meta-analysis (0.6%). Of those, 54.4% (n=87) were published as open access, with 5% (n=8) provided on preprint servers. Over 400 quotes with information on strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats were detected. By far, most (n=142, 34.8%) were related to weaknesses. ChatGPT excels in its ability to express ideas clearly and formulate general contexts comprehensibly. It performs so well that even experts in the field have difficulty identifying abstracts generated by ChatGPT. However, the time-limited scope and the need for corrections by experts were mentioned as weaknesses and threats of ChatGPT. Opportunities include assistance in formulating medical issues for nonnative English speakers, as well as the possibility of timely participation in the development of such artificial intelligence tools since it is in its early stages and can therefore still be influenced.

Conclusions

Artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT are already part of the medical publishing landscape. Despite their apparent opportunities, policies and guidelines must be implemented to ensure benefits in education, clinical practice, and research and protect against threats such as scientific misconduct, plagiarism, and inaccuracy.
The Effect of Explicit Suicide Language in Engagement With a Suicide Prevention Search Page Help-Seeking Prompt: Nonrandomized Trial
Authors: Onie Sandersan , Armstrong Susanne Oliver , Josifovski Natasha , Berlinquette Patrick , Livingstone Nicola , Holland Sarah , Finemore Coco , Gale Nyree , Elder Emma , Laggis George , Heffernan Cassandra , Theobald Adam , Torok Michelle , Shand Fiona , Larsen Mark
Published: October 2023

Background

Given that signage, messaging, and advertisements (ads) are the gateway to many interventions in suicide prevention, it is important that we understand what type of messaging works best for whom.

Objective

We investigated whether explicitly mentioning suicide increases engagement using internet ads by investigating engagement with campaigns with different categories of keywords searched, which may reflect different cognitive states.

Methods

We ran a 2-arm study Australia-wide, with or without ads featuring explicit suicide wording. We analyzed whether there were differences in engagement for campaigns with explicit and nonexplicit ads for low-risk (distressed but not explicitly suicidal), high-risk (explicitly suicidal), and help-seeking for suicide keywords.

Results

Our analyses revealed that having explicit wording has opposite effects, depending on the search terms used: explicit wording reduced the engagement rate for individuals searching for low-risk keywords but increased engagement for those using high-risk keywords.

Conclusions

The findings suggest that individuals who are aware of their suicidality respond better to campaigns that explicitly use the word “suicide.” We found that individuals who search for low-risk keywords also respond to explicit ads, suggesting that some individuals who are experiencing suicidality search for low-risk keywords.
Effectiveness of Technology-Based Interventions for School-Age Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Authors: Wong Ka Po , Qin Jing , Xie Yao Jie , Zhang Bohan
Published: October 2023

Background

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is relatively common among school-age children. Technology-based interventions, such as computer-assisted training programs, neurofeedback training, and virtual reality, show promise in regulating the behaviors and cognitive functions of children with ADHD. An increasing number of randomized controlled trials have been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of these technologies in improving the conditions of children with ADHD.

Objective

This study aims to conduct a systematic review of technological interventions for school-age children with ADHD and perform a meta-analysis of the outcomes of technology-based interventions.

Methods

A total of 19 randomized controlled studies involving 1843 participants were selected from a pool of 2404 articles across 7 electronic databases spanning from their inception to April 2022. ADHD behaviors, cognitive functions, learning ability, and quality of life were addressed in this study.

Results

Random effects meta-analyses found that children with ADHD receiving technology-based intervention showed small and significant effect sizes in computer-rated inattention (standardized mean difference [SMD] −0.35; P<.04), parent-rated overall executive function measured by the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (SMD −0.35; P<.04), parent-rated disruptive behavior disorder measured by the Child Behavior Checklist (SMD −0.50; P<.001) and Disruptive Behavior Disorder Rating Scale (SMD −0.31; P<.02), and computer-rated visual attention measured by the Continuous Performance Test (SMD −0.42; P<.001) and Reaction Time (SMD −0.43; P<.02).

Conclusions

Technology-based interventions are promising treatments for improving certain ADHD behaviors and cognitive functions among school-age children with ADHD.

Linear perturbations of the Bloch type of space-periodic magnetohydrodynamic steady states. II. Numerical results
Authors: Chertovskih R , Zheligovsky V
Published: October 2023

We consider Bloch eigenmodes of three linear stability problems: the kinematic dynamo problem, the hydrodynamic and MHD stability problem for steady space-periodic ﬂows and MHD states comprised of randomly generated Fourier coeﬃcients and having energy spectra of three types: exponentially decaying, Kolmogorov with a cut oﬀ, or involving a small number of harmonics (“big eddies”). A Bloch mode is a product of a ﬁeld of the same periodicity as the perturbed state and a planar harmonic wave, exp(iq · x). Such a mode is characterized by the ratio of spatial scales which, for simplicity, we identify with the length |q| < 1 of the Bloch wave vector q. Computations have revealed that the Bloch modes, whose growth rates are maximum over q, feature the scale ratio that decreases on increasing the nondimensionalized molecular diﬀusivity and/or viscosity from 0.03 to 0.3, and the scale separation is high (i.e., |q| is small) only for large molecular diﬀusivities. Largely this conclusion holds for all the three stability problems and all the three energy spectra types under consideration. Thus, in a natural MHD system not aﬀected by strong diﬀusion, a given scale range gives rise to perturbations involving only moderately larger spatial scales (i.e., |q| only moderately small), and the MHD evolution consists of a cascade of processes, each generating a slightly larger spatial scale; ﬂows or magnetic ﬁelds characterized by a high scale separation are not produced. This cascade is unlikely to be amenable to a linear description. Consequently, our results question the allegedly high role of the α-eﬀect and eddy diﬀusivity that are based on spatial scale separation, as the primary instability or magnetic ﬁeld generating mechanisms in astrophysical applications. The Braginskii magnetic α-eﬀect in a weakly non-axisymmetric ﬂow, often used for explanation of the solar and geodynamo, is advantageous not being upset by a similar deﬁciency.

How supportive and controlling supervision influence employees' innovative behavior
Authors: Zhou Yutong
Published: October 2023

Research on whether leaders' supervision style substantially affects employees' innovative behavior has rarely been conclusive. Therefore, in this study I explored the mechanism of how supportive and controlling supervision can influence employees' innovative behavior, taking the effect
of personal characteristics into consideration. I surveyed 261 employees in the research and development department of a business and the results revealed that supervision style had a significant effect on employees' innovation. Further, employees' work engagement mediated the relationship
between supervision style and employees' innovative behavior. Finally, I verified the moderating effect of subordinates' regulatory focus and found that this effect differed according to the type of regulatory focus. The findings point to the importance of leaders adjusting their supervision
style for individual team members.
Analysis of research trends regarding (COVID)-19 and creativity
Authors: Zhou Jie , Wang Leilei , Liu Qi
Published: October 2023

This study integrated COVID-19 and creativity into the literature through knowledge mapping visualization, to promote existing academic results and provide a reference value for subsequent research. Accordingly, we analyzed the distribution of the literature on COVID-19 and creativity,
research hotspots, and representative groups of authors. We found that the topic of COVID-19 and creativity has sparked interdisciplinary research, leading to cross-disciplinary and cross-national collaborations. Creativity can be used to cope with the challenges and social complexity brought
about by COVID-19. The law of theme development in the existing literature was divided into three stages: exploratory (2020), active (2021), and stable (2022). Our findings indicate that the upsurge of research on COVID-19 and creativity may slow down, but that models, intention, energy, life,
benefits, space, and music are likely to be themes for future research.
Emotion experience and regulation in undergraduates following social rejection: A daily diary study
Authors: Xie Dengfeng , Lu Jiamei , Xie Zhangming
Published: October 2023

We used a 30-day daily diary assessment method to examine the within-person associations between social rejection, emotional experiences, and emotion regulation strategies in a sample of 34 college students. Taking emotional experience as the dependent variable, we explored and analyzed
cumulative and hysteresis effects using a random regression coefficient model. The results showed that situations of social rejection tended to induce negative emotional experiences, for which college students mostly adopted attention transfer strategies. In contrast, positive emotional experience
increased in situations of social acceptance, and college students mostly adopted cognitive reappraisal strategies in this setting. Further, cognitive reappraisal strategies had time accumulation and overlapping effects on individual positive emotional experiences, and attention transfer strategies
had a lag effect on individual emotional experiences. These findings advance understanding of the negative affect–emotion regulation association among individuals exposed to social rejection.
Social exclusion and externalizing problem behaviors of adolescents: A moderated mediation model
Authors: Liu Yi Hui , Su Chun Jing
Published: October 2023

Adolescents' externalizing problem behaviors have attracted increasing research attention in recent years. We explored the relationship between social exclusion and adolescents' externalizing problem behaviors with a sample of 871 Chinese adolescents, who completed the Ostracism Experience
Scale for Adolescents, the Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire, the Deviant Peer Affiliation Scale, and the Externalizing Problem Behavior Questionnaire for Adolescents. The results showed that social exclusion was significantly associated with adolescents' externalizing problem behaviors, and
that interpersonal needs mediated this relationship. In addition, deviant peer affiliation moderated the direct effect of social exclusion on externalizing problem behaviors, as well as the indirect effect via interpersonal needs. Our results provide suggestions for teachers and parents to
prevent and intervene in the externalizing problem behaviors of adolescents.
Exercise adherence and subjective well-being: A chain mediating effect model
Authors: Ye Huacong , Guo Kelei
Published: October 2023

Exercise adherence plays an important role in promoting college students' subjective well-being, but the literature on the influence and mechanism of exercise adherence on subjective well-being remains scarce. We recruited 894 college students via stratified cluster random sampling.
Exercise adherence, subjective well-being, mindfulness, and personal growth initiative were assessed by using standardized scales. Exercise adherence was found to be positively correlated with subjective well-being. Mindfulness and personal growth initiative had both independent and chain
mediating effects on the relationship between exercise adherence and subjective well-being. The results have revealed the mechanism of this relationship and provide a preliminary basis for studying the causal relationships between them. Our findings also provide a theoretical basis for interventions
to promote subjective well-being.
Physical activity and depression: A chain mediation model
Authors: Zhou Yong , Guo Kelei
Published: October 2023

In recent years the detection rate of depression among Chinese college students has increased significantly. We explored the relationship between physical activity and depression in this population, as well as the mediating role of interpersonal relationship difficulties and subjective
well-being. We used stratified cluster random sampling to recruit a sample of 1,605 college students. The results showed that physical activity was positively correlated with depression, and that interpersonal relationship difficulties and subjective wellbeing had both independent and chain
mediating effects on this link. Our findings provide a theoretical basis for designing interventions to treat depression in college students.

Authors: Zhou Xuan , Ahmad Naveed , Lho Linda Heejung , Han Heesup
Published: October 2023

Traditional customer relationship management models are ineffective for creating long-term relationships, but social media offers a more interactive approach. Despite the growing use of social media for corporate social responsibility (CSR), understanding of its link with the advocacy
behavior of customers in banking contexts is limited. Our study bridges this gap, examining this relationship with the customer emotions of gratitude and warm glow considered as mediators. Data from bank customers revealed there was a significant correlation between CSR-related information
and the advocacy behavior of customers, with gratitude and warm glow mediating this relationship. From a social behavior and personality perspective, our research illuminates the significant role of human emotions in the interaction between banking organizations and customers. Our findings
will help banks seeking to foster a competitive advantage by improving the advocacy behavior of customers in the context of CSR.

Language Shift and Maintenance: A Case Study of the Telugu Community in Bagan Datoh, Perak (Malaysia)
Authors: Polamarachetty Kathreine Deva Babu , Riget Patricia Nora
Published: October 2023

Telugu is an official language, commonly spoken in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, India. Despite being one of the largest languages in the world, it is a minority language in Malaysia. Majority of the Telugus who migrated, settled in the plantation estates i.e Bagan Datoh, Perak (known as a Telugu heritage site). This study employs domain analysis to find out language choice in home, social, entertainment, religious and official domains among the younger and older generation as well as their language attitude. This study uses mixed methods. Questionnaire surveys were accompanied by interviews and focus groups discussions. Language shift is observed in literacy but being revitalized among the youngest generation. In spoken language, Telugu is well maintained especially in the home domain, coexisting with other languages in a diglossic relationship. Positive attitude towards mother tongue and revitalization endeavors demonstrate a favorable influence on the maintenance of the Telugu language in Bagan Datoh.
Metadiscourse Markers in Abstracts of Linguistics and Literature Research Articles from Scopus-Indexed Journals
Authors: Geng Hui , Wei Han
Published: October 2023

An abstract is generally a condensed version of a much lengthier research article (RA). It plays a crucial role in academic writing by initially grabbing the readers’ attention. A well-crafted abstract can greatly increase an RA’s chances of being published. Metadiscourse markers, which extend beyond the actual information being presented, provide significant assistance in textual organisation and interaction. However, less attention has been paid to the use of these markers in the abstracts of RAs within the field of linguistics and literature from Scopus-indexed journals. Therefore, this paper first investigated how authors presented their arguments in the abstracts by deploying interactive and interactional markers, and then it delved into the occurrence frequency of both types of markers in linguistics and literature corpora. A total of 100 English RA abstracts were selected for this study. The linguistics and literature corpus each contained 50 RA abstracts taken from three open-access Scopus-indexed journals. Based on Hyland’s (2005) interpersonal model of metadiscourse, an analysis of the identification and frequency of metadiscourse markers was conducted. A comparison was also drawn between the linguistics and literature RA abstracts. The findings showed that the abstracts from both corpora employed more interactive markers than interactional markers. Regarding the interactive markers, a similar tendency of using transitions was detected. However, the difference lay in the frequency of the other four types of markers between the two corpora. In the interactional category, boosters emerged as the most prominent markers while engagement markers were the least frequent in both corpora. The difference was mainly in the occurrence of self-mentions. The results of this study highlight the disciplinary awareness of metadiscourse markers in RA abstracts and offer a practical guide for scholars to utilise these cues and indicators in academic writing.

Authors: Appel Randy , Golding Corin
Published: October 2023

The current study provides a Contrastive Interlanguage Analysis (CIA) of linking adverbials (e.g., furthermore, in conclusion, on the other hand) in the second language (L2) English academic writing of post-secondary students from three countries: the Philippines, Pakistan, and Thailand. This analysis makes use of 80 essays from each of these three first language (L1) groups by way of data sourced from the International Corpus Network of Asian Learner English (ICNALE); we eschew the use of a native speaker control group in response to recent critiques of the native speaker fallacy. Quantitative and qualitative analyses revealed several noteworthy production tendencies which distinguish each English variety. These include a generally low frequency of linking adverbial tokens by Filipino writers of English, as well as a comparatively narrow range of linking adverbial types by Pakistani writers of English. In terms of functional category differences, Thai writers displayed a relatively high frequency of listing devices while Pakistani writers showed a low frequency of appositional linking adverbials, and a high frequency of resultative linking adverbials. Methodological and pedagogical implications of these findings are discussed.

Published: October 2023

Female circumcision is a relatively understudied topic in the Malaysian context. It is also a topic that is considered sensitive due to its strong association with culture and religion. This paper explores the challenges and lessons learned from a larger project that focuses on the discourse analysis of female circumcision in Malaysia. The project involves collaborative work with a local NGO that works on the advancement of Muslim women’s rights in Malaysia. This paper outlines the processes involved in data collection via focus group discussions and is written as a reflexive exercise based on the recommendations proposed by Olmos-Vega et al. (2023). This reflexive paper on the methodological challenges and lessons learned from the collaboration offers insights that can help other researchers make a more informed research choices on working on collaborative research and on the use of focus groups as a method of data collection.
Prosodic Marking of New and Given Information in English and Mandarin by Chinese Speakers
Authors: Jiang Man
Published: October 2023

Second-language speakers have been found to face difficulties marking prosodic features of new and given information in English. Chinese English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners speak English with a different intonation from L1 speakers, which can lead to misunderstanding. However, there is a dearth of research on the prosodic marking of new and given information by Chinese English speakers and on the extent to which Mandarin might influence the marking of new and given information. To fill this research gap, an empirical study of the prosodic features of English and Mandarin was conducted using a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods to investigate the prosodic marking of new and given information in English and Mandarin by Chinese speakers. The results show that the prosodic marking of new and given information in English and Mandarin was similar with new information having a longer duration and a larger pitch range.

This study firstly employed low dose of peroxydisulfate (PDS) addition
coupling with initial pH 10 (PDS&pH10) pretreatment to promote SCFAs
production via acidogenic fermentation of iron containing sewage sludge
(Fe-sludge). Experimental results showed that the maximal SCFAs yields
and acetate proportions of reactors with PDS pre-oxidation were promoted
by 1.27 and 1.56 times respectively. Moreover, SCFAs yields of thickened
sludge (TS) fermentation were remarkably larger than those of waste
activated sludge (WAS) fermentation. The concentration of soluble
chemical oxygen demand (SCOD), protein (PN) and polysaccharide (PS) were
all increased significantly in these reactors with PDS pre-oxidation,
and especially the degree of flocs disintegration was significantly
enhanced. Moreover, correlation analysis demonstrated that the SCFAs
yields showed highly significant correlation (P<=0.01) with
SCOD, total PN, PN-soluble-EPS (SEPS) and significant correlation
(P<=0.05) with PS-SEPS and PS-tightly-EPS. Mechanism
explorations exhibited that PDS pre-oxidation promoted solubilization of
complex substrate and exhibited synergetic effect on effectively
hydrolysis promotion by combining with initial pH10 pretreatment.
Followingly, acidogenic fermentation was stimulated by the regulated pH
and Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) under PDS&pH10 pretreatment.
Firmicutes was proved playing key role in improving SCFAs production and
especially favoring for acetate promotion by converting additional SCFAs
to acetate. Additionally, the metabolic pathway abundance revealed that
PDS addition largely promoted the superpathway of sulfur oxidation and
iron cycle metabolic activities which contributed to promote the
solubilization and enhanced SCFAs production. Finally, the PDS&pH10
pretreatment was roughly estimated to be an economic solution for the
Fe-sludge treatment.

Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) is a test recommended for
diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD), which can also assess its
severity. MAPSE (M-mode-derived long axis, mitral annular plane systolic
excursion) can be used to measure the longitudinal shortening of the
Left Ventricle (LV) which plays a major role in the pumping function of
the cardiac muscle. For detecting early abnormalities, this parameter
appears to be much more sensitive than global EF. Objective: In
order to determine whether Delta change MAPSE in Dobutamine stress
Echocardiography predicts ischemic heart disease and whether it
correlates with coronary artery disease severity in patients with
ischemic heart disease. Patients and Methods: This study
evaluated 60 patients between April 2020 and July 2021, 30 of whom were
ischemic (ischemic group) and 30 of whom were not (normal group). The
MAPSE (septal, lateral, anterior, inferior anulus) is measured at each
stress echo stage and the Delta MAPSE (Peak MAPSE – rest MAPSE) is
calculated. Additionally, the EF is measured using modified Simpson’s
method for each stage and the Delta EF (Peak EF – rest EF) is
determined. These measurements are then compared between two groups. The
severity of coronary artery disease is assessed using the Gensini score
(GS). Results: Our study comprised a total of 60 patients, with
an average age of 59.5 ± 7.3 years. The male gender was predominant,
accounting for 74% of the participants. A notable disparity was
observed between the two groups in terms of their diabetic history,
which was statistically significant. Specifically, 53% of the patients
had diabetes, whereas only 27% of the control group had the condition
(p=0.035). There was a statistically significant difference observed
between the two groups in terms of Delta MAPSE (p<0.0001). The
Delta MAPSE in patients was recorded as -0.54 ± 0.3, whereas in the
control groups it was 0.88 ± 0.7. Additionally, a statistically
significant difference was found between the two groups based on Delta
EF (p=0.012). The Delta EF in patients was measured as 1.5±5.6, while in
the control groups, it was 4.8±3.9. There was a significant negative
correlation observed between delta MAPSE and Gensini score in the
patients’ group (P= 0.0085; r = - 0.47). Conversely, a negative
correlation was also observed between delta EF and Gensini score in the
patients’ group, although it was not statistically significant (P= .029;
r = - 0.2). Conclusion: The reduced MAPSE in dobutamine stress
echocardiography (DSE) is an efficient and straightforward quantitative
echocardiographic technique that can accurately anticipate both the
existence and the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD).
