Authors: Hao Haihong , Zhang Hongyu , Chen Yajing , Dong Yujun
Published: September 2023

This study presents a detailed analysis of poems from I Am a Rohingya. Two poems with the same theme hopeless are selected: one is ABOUT THOSE BORN INTO THIS PLACE from YAR TIN, and the other one is BEING ROHINGYA from RO ANAMUL HASAN. In linguistic stylistics, language features are presented through kinds of deviations to achieve the foregrounding effect. The degree of language use in stylistics varies greatly, especially in poetry. Poets use their unique styles to distinguish themselves from others. In this study, the researchers attempt to analyze and compare these two poems based on stylistic methods. The following two research questions are posed: What linguistic features can be categorized in the two selected poems? Besides, how do these features function in these poems with the use of language? To answer the above questions, the researchers focus on the selected two poems and stylistically analyze them. Findings reveal four linguistic features appearing in both poems: parallelism, semantic deviation, lexical deviation and syntactic deviation. By adopting the same stylistic deviations, the effects of the selected poems are present differently due to the two poets’ unique language uses and writing styles. In a word, the choices of words and expressions are important because they will affect readers’ understanding of a poem.

Use of Near-InfraRed Spectroscopy (NIRS) during Vascular Occlusion Test (VOT) for predicting an increase in oxygen consumption after fluid challenge in circulatory shock patients
Authors: Cheerasiri Kritsiri , Thertchanakun Sahawat , Morakul Sunthiti , Theeravit Pongdhep , Mongkolpun Wasineenart
Published: September 2023

Background: The goal of fluid challenge (FC) is to increase cardiac output (CO) and oxygen delivery (DO2) (known as fluid responders) to correct tissue hypoxia. To optimize fluid administration, fluid challenge (FC) during dependence of oxygen consumption on oxygen delivery (VO2/DO2 dependency) would correct tissue hypoxia confirmed by an increase of oxygen consumption (VO2) and oxygen delivery (DO2) after FC (known as VO2 responders) and get more benefit from a reduction in tissue hypoxia. Markers of anaerobic metabolisms, such as blood lactate concentration or the ratio of venous-arterial CO2 tension difference (P(cv-a)CO2) over arterial-to-venous oxygen content difference (C(a-cv)O2), can predict VO2 responders but still have several limitations. Therefore, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been developed to evaluate tissue perfusion, presented as tissue oxygen saturation (StO2), at the bedside. Combining StO2 with the vascular occlusive test (VOT) and introducing a short period of forearm ischemia is a non-invasive technique to examine microvascular alterations at the bedside. However, a study validating the ability of these variables to predict VO2 response has not been conducted.

Methods: We plan to conduct a single-center prospective study on circulatory failure patients. The cardiac index (CI), oxygen delivery (DO2), oxygen consumption (VO2), arterial lactate, central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2), ratio of venous-arterial carbon dioxide tension to arterial-to-central venous oxygen content difference (P(cv-a)CO2/ C(a-cv)O2), and tissue oxygen saturation measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) probe during vascular occlusion test variables (NIRS-VOT variables) will be collected before and after the fluid challenge.

Hypothesis: We hypothesize that markers of reactive hyperemia by NIRs will predict an increase in VO2 after FC in patients with circulatory shock.

Ethics: The study protocol has been approved by the ethics committee of the faculty of medicine, Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University (COA. MURA2022/80).

Authors: Chen Tao
Published: September 2023

Antimony chalcogenides (Sb2X3), including Sb2S3, Sb2Se3, and the alloy-type Sb2(S,Se)3, have been considered as a promising absorber materials for photovoltaic applications. Owing to its unique quasi-one-dimensional crystal structure, it displays distinct defect and carrier transport properties and requires special material synthesis strategy compared with the traditional three-dimensional crystal structure semiconductor materials. Recent studies on this class of materials have generated new understandings in film fabrication, defect characteristics and passivation, interfacial engineering, and efficiency improvement. With these efforts, the power conversion efficiency of the solar cell device has been increased from below 3% to 10.7% over the past 10 years. This efficiency achievement suggests that Sb2X3 possesses great potential for practical applications with further efficiency enhancement. This perspective article presents the critical development in the Sb2X3 materials and solar cells in recent years, including the unique crystal structure for solar cells, the preparation method for obtaining high-quality Sb2X3 films, and the discovery and passivation of unusual and complex defects. Finally, we propose several strategies for future efficiency improvement.
Green organic conversion with H2O2: challenges and opportunities
Authors: Li Zhaosheng
Published: September 2023

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), as a green oxidant, plays an important role in organic conversion reactions, such as cyclohexanone ammoximation and olefin oxidation. However, the production of H2O2 relies on the anthraquinone process, which is costly, complex, and typically done on clustered production. Furthermore, H2O2 is prone to decomposition or the generation of ineffective byproducts and unfavorable reactive groups, leading to low efficiency and waste of resources. Achieving the widespread application of H2O2 in green organic conversion reactions requires efficient utilization and low-cost on-site production of H2O2. Effective activation of H2O2 is the key to realizing efficient utilization of H2O2, which has been widely recognized. In addition, some emerging methods of on-site production of H2O2 are convenient and low-cost, which may gradually overcome the shortcomings of traditional methods in the future. In this review, we introduce common organic conversion reactions with H2O2, summarize the challenges of H2O2 activation, and review the progress on electrochemical, photoelectrochemical or photochemical H2O2 production. We also discuss the vision of organic conversion reactions via in-situ-generated H2O2.
Material AgInSe2 originated from strong acoustic phonon scattering
Authors: Xie Lin , He Jiaqing
Published: September 2023

The chalcopyrite system, which consists of ABC2 (where A can be Cu or Ag, B can be Ga or In, and C can be Se or Te), has potential uses in thermoelectric applications. However, the lack of high-performance n-type chalcopyrite thermoelectric has hindered their practical application. This study presents a new method for inhibiting cation vacancy in AgInSe2, achieved through the addition of excessive amounts of Ag and Br doping, which further increases electronic concentration. The resulting n-type material, Ag1.03InSe1.99Br0.01, exhibited superior thermoelectric performance at high temperatures, with a ZT of 1.2 at 900 K and an average ZT of 0.75 within a temperature range of 600-900 K. The remarkable thermal performance of this material is mainly due to its extremely low lattice thermal conductivity, which is attributed to the quartic anharmonicity and nondispersive phonon dispersion relation. These findings provide new insights into developing high-performance n-type chalcopyrite thermoelectric for practical use in energy conversion technologies.

The Effects of Undercut Depth and Length on Weldment Mechanical Properties
Authors: KURTULMUŞ Memduh
Published: September 2023

Undercutting is a fusion welding defect that appears as a groove at the weld metal's toe. An undercut discontinuity forms when welding, particularly when the current is applied at an extremely rapid rate. It decreases the static and fatigue strength of the weld and produces stress concentration at the welding zone. The height of the reinforcement, the weld bead's contact angle, the undercut's breadth, depth, length, and root radius, as well as other factors, affect the stress concentration factor's size. In this study, two mild steel plates with a 20 mm thickness were welded together using gas metal arc welding. Each test plate was machined to have a 30° single bevel groove angle prior to welding. The butt welded plate underwent radiographic NDT testing. A weldment free of defect was created. The weldment was machined into typical test specimens for tensile strength. An undercut defect was simulated by drilling a groove through each tensile test sample. Grooves had different depths and lengths. After that, samples were put through a tensile test. The test findings allowed for the identification of the impacts of groove shape on tensile strength, ductility, and static stress concentration factor.

Published: September 2023

Attempts have been made to understand how teachers see different methods of teaching foreign languages. Also, numerous approaches and techniques have been used to improve the process of teaching foreign languages. These techniques have always been scrutinized for their perceived effectiveness and frequency of usage by the teachers. On the one hand, each approach is time-specific and may solve the issues of language instruction and learning at that point sufficiently; on the other, its flaws are revealed, making way for a new approach. This article aims at presenting an assessment of the frequency of usage of different teaching methods and techniques in foreign language learning, explicating the views of the foreign language teachers and evaluating the level of effectiveness. The study community include 200 foreign languages teachers drawn across various locations. There was no target on a particular foreign language, and the teachers participated through responding to questionnaires inputs. The 200 teachers polled for the study presented their views on the viability of six different teaching methods and strategies, including the direct or natural method, the hybrid method, the simulated experiment approach, the communicative strategy, the computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), and the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). Data was collected using structured questionnaire, and analysis was conducted using relevant statistical measures, including the calculation of the frequencies and percentile values of the views of the respondents. The survey result indicated that the direct or natural method, and the communicative method are not frequently used by the teachers. The participated teachers further affirm that hybrid method is the most current effective method, followed by the CALL, CLIL and Simulated learning method. In terms of effectiveness of method, the result indicated that hybrid method and simulated method are the most effective teaching method. It was further shown in the analysis that foreign languages teachers in high schools must pay attention to the impacts of digital tools in facilitating language learning and improve learner’s communication ability. School leaders must incorporate the views of teachers on best methods for foreign language learning.

Para concluir, Valéria Giannella presenta “La democracia en disputa”, en donde se reflexiona a partir de los levantamientos sociales en el caso de Chile, Brasil y Ecuador. Cuestionándose por qué en gobiernos democráticos las necesidades de las poblaciones más pobres tienen que plantearse a través de protestas para ser incluidas en la agenda pública. Y por qué las respuestas de los gobiernos de un sistema democrático implican el derramamiento de sangre cuando esta forma de gobierno debería operar por y para el pueblo, evidenciando las teorías y las prácticas en disputa. Para finalizar, la autora nos pide cuestionarnos ¿de qué democracia estamos hablando? y ¿hacia qué

Published: September 2023

Diagnosing cancer at an early stage helps the doctors for the successful treatment of the disease. Lung Cancer, a leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, has emphasized the importance of early detection to enhance patient survival outcomes. This paper offers a comprehensive review of various machine learning algorithms employed in the prediction and early detection of lung cancer. Through a diligent survey of recent literature, we evaluated the effectiveness of techniques ranging from ensemble learning methods to regression and classification algorithms. Several studies exhibited promising results, with some algorithms achieving accuracies upwards of 99%. Particularly, SVM, Logistic Regression and ensemble methods consistently demonstrated high prediction accuracies across multiple datasets. However, there remains substantial potential to expand on these findings, especially in the domain of hybrid model development, real time predictions and seamless clinical integrations. This review underscores the transformative role of ML in Lung Cancer diagnostics and charts a course for future exploration in this critical medical domain.

Background: Spinal haemangioblastomas are rare benign but potentially devastating vascular tumours.They may occur sporadically or as a component of Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. There is a dearth of information on these tumours among Nigerians. This study aims to evaluate the clinical profile and outcome of surgery as well as the challenges of the management of these tumours in a resource-limited country.

Methods: We retrospectively analysed data from the records of patients who had surgery for spinal haemangioblastoma at our centre between January 2004 and December 2018.

Results: We operated 2 cases of spinal haemangioblastomas during the study period (1 male, 1 female). The patients  were aged 25 and 50 years. The onset of symptoms was 2 weeks in one patient and 18 months in the other. The tumour was located in the thoracic region in the 2 patients. One patient had extramedullary tumour. Both individuals were paraplegic at the time of surgery, which was 3 days in one patient and more than 4 months in the other. Whereas gross total tumour resection was achieved patient with shorter duration of symptoms and While both patients had thoracic lesions and presented with sensorimotor deficits, only one had sphincteric dysfunction. Patient had an intramedullary tumour location both instances, the extramedullary tumour made a rapid-post operative neurological improvement, while the one with the longer duration of symptoms and intramedullary tumour remained paraplegic until his death nine months after surgery.

Amitraz is a widely available insecticide but whose human poisoning is highly under-recognized and mistaken for organophosphate poisoning. As a result, it is often mismanaged possibly resulting in suboptimal clinical outcomes. We present a case of a 55-year-old man who ingested Amitraz pesticide 3 hours prior to admission following a suicide attempt.His clinical condition rapidly deteriorated necessitating admission to the Intensive Care Unit. As there is no known effective antidote for human Amitraz poisoning in current medical practice, he was managed supportively but with excellent clinical outcome. Despite the lack of an effective antidote for human Amitraz poisoning, appropriatesupportive management yields excellent clinical outcomes. However, misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment may result in severe effects on the body systems causing coma and respiratory failure which often yields fatal outcome especially in resource limited settings like Zambia.

Published: September 2023

Background: The oro-facial region is made up of a complex anatomical relationship of structures which may be a source of development of malignant lesions. Majority patients who present at the oral and maxillofacial unit of MNH with a variety of malignant lesions are referred cases from upcountry district/regional hospitals and present with advanced stages of disease often with a wide range of complications. Of recent, there has been a dramatic change in the characteristics and demography of some of the common malignant lesions of the oro-facial region. Such changes mightbe attributed to predisposition or systemic changes following exposure to certain external factors.

Objective: To determine the predisposing factors and clinico-pathological presentation of malignant lesions of the oro-facial region among patients attending the Muhimbili National Hospital.

Methodology: This was a cross-sectional descriptive hospital-based study carried out in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Muhimbili National Hospital. A sample of 186 patients with malignant tumours in the oro-facail region attended at MNH during the study period.For every patient, demographic details were recorded and history, clinical examination and laboratory investigations, including biopsy were done.

Results: A total of 186 patients, 104 (56.0%) males and 82 (44.0%) females with a ratio of 1.3:1 were included in the study. The age ranged from 3 to 83 years with a mean age of 48.4 ± 19.2 SD years. Thirty-three percent of the patients were aged below 40 years. The commonest reported oral and maxillofacial malignant tumour was SCC with 96 (51.6%) patients followed by KS which had 17 (9.1%) patients and non-specific carcinoma 10 (5.4%) patients. Tobacco use was reported by 89 (47.8%) among whom 62 (69.6%) had used tobacco for more than 20 years. Ninety-six (51.6%) patients reported alcohol use among whom 49 (51.0%) reported to have used alcohol for more than 20 years. Thirty-three (17.7%) patients were HIV positive. All patients with KS were also HIV positive. MEP and PLGA were among very rare tumours occurring in the maxillofacial region that were encountered in this study.

Conclusion: There was an increased frequency of malignant tumours in the oral and maxillofacial region among young patients. Tobacco use and HIV infection seemed to have influence on the occurrence of SCC and KS respectively. Majority of patients reported late with advanced disease and over 95% of patients with SCC presented with stages III or IV tumours.
