Aim: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the seventh most common cancer worldwide with a survival rate below fifty percent. Addressing meager therapeutic options, a series of small molecule inhibitors were screened for antitumor efficacy. The most potent analog, acryl-3,5-bis(2,4-difluorobenzylidene)-4-piperidone (DiFiD; A-DiFiD), demonstrated strong cellular JUN proto-oncogene, activator protein 1 (AP-1) transcription factor subunit (JUN, c-Jun) antagonism. c-Jun, an oncogenic transcription factor, promotes cancer progression, invasion, and adhesion; high (JUN) mRNA expression correlates with poorer HNSCC survival.
Methods: Four new small molecules were generated for cytotoxicity screening in HNSCC cell lines. A-DiFiD-treated HNSCC cells were assessed for cytotoxicity, colony formation, invasion, migration, and adhesion. Dot blot array was used to identify targets. Phospho-c-Jun (p-c-Jun) expression was analyzed using immunoblotting. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) head and neck cancer datasets were utilized to determine overall patient survival. The Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) datasets interfaced with University of Alabama at Birmingham Cancer Data Analysis Portal (UALCAN) were analyzed to determine protein levels of c-Jun in HNSCC patients and correlate levels with patient.
Results: Of the small molecules tested, A-DiFiD was the most potent in HNSCC lines, while demonstrating low half-maximal drug inhibitory concentration (IC50) in non-malignant Het-1A cells. Additionally, A-DiFiD abrogated cell invasion, migration, and colony formation. Phospho-kinase in vitro array demonstrated A-DiFiD reduced p-c-Jun. Likewise, a time dependent reduction in p-c-Jun was observed starting at 3 min post A-DiFiD treatment. TCGA Firehose Legacy vs. recurrent and metastatic head and neck cancer reveal a nearly 3% DNA amplification in recurrent/metastatic tumor compared to below 1% in primary tumors that had no lymph node metastasis. CPTAC analysis show higher tumor c-Jun levels compared to normal. Patients with high JUN expression had significantly reduced 3-year survival.
Conclusions: A-DiFiD targets c-Jun, a clinical HNSCC driver, with potent anti-tumor effects.
Design the Fuzzy Variable to Determine the Relation Between Price and Assessment
Authors: Hashemi Seyed Mahmood
Published: October 2023

Accounting produces information that is used for decision-making, so helpful standards of accounting are required. One of the challenging aspects of accounting is trade assessment. This subject is important in the buying process (and also in the fund management). In the buying process, customers are looking for trades with high profit, but determining the exact value for the profit is hard. Profit is categorized into Cash and Obligation. In this paper, the spread of cash operation is considered as a cash component, and the difference in the receive accounts, the difference in the inventory, and the difference in the payment accounts are considered as obligations. To examine, the financial information of 10 trades in the TEHRAN EXCHANGE STOCK are used. In this paper to determine the relation between the assets and the real price, a fuzzy approach is used. Fuzzy systems include some components and diversity in each of them may influence the final result. Therefore the influence of each fuzzy component needs to be examined, but the goal of this paper is to use the fuzzy system. Hence we use a simpler shape of fuzzifier, defuzzifier, and inference engine.

FOOTBALL VOCABULARY IN THE INTERNET ARTICLES ABOUT THE WORLD CUP IN QATAR
Authors: DOSEV Vladimir
Published: October 2023

The present study aims to describe the origin of the specific football vocabulary used in the modern Bulgarian media language. The football vocabulary used in internet articles about the World Cup in Qatar 2022 has been studied. Various ways of enriching the football vocabulary and phraseology in the modern Bulgarian language are discussed: lexical loanwords, word-formation and phraseological calques, rethinking of vocabulary already existing in the Bulgarian language. Lexical loanwords from English are the most characteristic way of providing football-specific lexis. Most of the football vocabulary in Bulgarian is borrowed from English, which is also the case in many European languages. The forming of new derivatives from the loan lexis is one of the main ways of providing the necessary football vocabulary. The article explores also the use of metaphorically reinterpreted vocabulary from other semantic fields. The usage of metaphors in the headlines is very characteristic for the Bulgarian articles about football. Language has turned into a powerful marketing tool for the football media. Catchy headlines often prompt the reader to click on the link and to read the whole article. The applied methods of the research are descriptive and discourse analysis. The object are journalistic articles about the Football World Cup published online in November and December 2022.
TYPES OF PERSONAL LETTERS IN “SLAVENOBOLGARSKIY PREDRUCHNIY POSLATELNIK ZA NASTAVLENIЕ NA BOLGARSKITE YUNOSHI” (1835) BY NEOPHYTE BOZVELI AND EMANUIL VASKIDOVICH
Authors: Mitskova Maria
Published: October 2023

The present article explores the teaching dedicated to the different personal letter types presented in one of the first printed letter-writing manuals – “Slavenobolgarskiy Predruchniy Poslatelnik za Nastavlenia na Bolgarskite Yunoshi“ (1835) by Neophyte Bozveli and Emanuil Vaskidovich.
The educational goals of the book transpire in the very essence of the idea that the epistolary theory should be implemented into clear examples. Therefore, types of letter patterns were provided not for mere reproducing but for interpretation and implication. And it is not a coincidence that by including the largest possible collection of examples of human relations – written and used as images of the various aspects of the human connections and interactions – Bozveli and Vaskidovich brought forward their practical epistolary lessons on writing good letters and maintaining a correspondence and etiquette.
The themes of the personal letters and fictional stories chosen by the co-authors not only reveal the wide range of possible human relations inside immediate and friend circles but also extol social, civil, and moral virtues. The alluded ethical issues of love, respect, commitment, filial love, clear conscience, kindness, and sincerity, as well as the influence they have or aim to have both on the sender and the addressee, implicitly point out the principles of good behavior at home, at school, and on the street. They truly embody the enlightenment philosophy about the new ethics – moral education, the core value of which is to work for the benefit of society.
A COMPARATIVE PARADIGM OF NONFICTIONAL PROSE: A POLYASPECT LINGUISTIC DIMENSION
Authors: Romanchenko Alla , Kovalevska Tetiana , Druzhynets Maria
Published: October 2023

The purpose of the research is a qualification of comparativity as a component of nonfictional literature. The diaries, authored by the poet, novelist, literary critic and scientist Petro Soroka, were used as a source base. The actual base consists of comparativemas extracted from these works using the method of continuous sampling. The object of the article is a comparison, and the subject is semantic-functional, linguistic-cultural, neurolinguistic and pragmatic analysis of comparative constructions that make up a specific system.
The researched diaries contain introversion and literary parts, each of which expresses the author’s inner world, reflections on nature or thoughts on the literary process. A special subsystem is represented by the epistemological-artistic comparative paradigm. We interpret the paradigm as a model of the world, and we define the comparative paradigm as a set of logical, semantic, functional and ethnocultural models that are appropriately verbalized and make up the system. In general, the comparative paradigm of the Ukrainian language is a complex system. The qualification of the comparative paradigm provides a comprehensive consideration of the phenomenon of comparison. The article provides a linguistic qualification of comparison. The logical types and subtypes of comparative models are determined, the specifics of comparison as a fragment of equivalence are outlined, some ethnocultural codes of the writer like his idea of environment and creativity are characterized, stylistic parameters and communicative aspects as an expansive complex comparative system are outlined. Petro Soroka is interpreted as a linguistic personality that correlates with the visual type of perception of the world.
FRENCH COLORONYMS CONTAINING ANTHIOSEMIC COMPONENT
Authors: SMUSHCHYNSKA Iryna
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to the study of French lexical units of semantics that denote color and may have opposite connotations or obtain it in the context of the work. According to the analysis, the core of color is its physical characteristics, layered with others (psychological, emotionally expressive, evaluative, symbolic), which can be variable up to the opposite. French coloronyms are mostly polysemantic, but the meaning often depends on the distribution, on the noun that determines the semantics of the color adjective, and these meanings are often multipolar. The peculiarity of French coloronyms is that they include a large number of derivatives of complex lexemes – names of shades, formed contrary to the rules of French word formation. Opposition relations can include: the semantics of the main color – its shade, direct – figurative meaning, phraseological meanings, connotations, symbols, associations, and so on. French color vocabulary clearly reflects the peculiarities of specific national-cultural world view and is quite active in terms of semantic transformation: some meanings are lost, obsolete, become historicisms or archaisms with a positive or negative color, the symbolism of which is no longer understood. In addition to the linguistic and cultural connotations, there is an individual-subjective, associative one, but the main types of reinterpretation of French coloronyms are metaphor and metonymy. In most cases, French coloronyms represent incomplete enantiosemia, when coloronyms have a positive / neutral / negative meaning depending on the semantics of the noun.
VERBAL COLLOCATIONS IN THE SPOKEN ALBANIAN CORPUS
IN KOSOVO
Authors: BAFTIU Adelajda , RUGOVA Bardh
Published: October 2023

This paper aims to examine verbal collocation in the spoken corpus of Albanian in Kosovo. Lexical and semantic components that are repeated in a linguistic context are known as collocations. The verbal collocations occurring inside the parameters of the sentence will be examined in this study. The most common verbs found in the corpus, those used more than 70 times, are used as the basis for this study. Examples include: vij, bëj, dal, hyj, marr and rri. Except for the verbs rri and hyj which came out with 16 meanings, the same verbs were presented with more than 30 meanings in the Dictionary of the Albanian Language. Due to their wide range of meanings and ditransitive nature, the verbs marr and bëj are used in the most consistent collocations. So, they are more likely to be followed by a complement unlike the verbs rri, hyj, dal and vij.
The work makes a connection between corpus linguistics and semantics. The methods of Baker (2010) and Sinclair (1991) are applied in this investigation. They base their strategy on how frequently the words x and y are displayed next to one another, setting a spacing of five words to the left and five words to the right of the word x. 76 recordings of speakers from various cities in Kosovo make up the corpus of this study. The Partitur Editor application is used to transcribe recordings. The KWIC program is then used to automatically extract collocations as well as vocabulary from the transcriptions.
ON THE CATEGORY OF THE PRESENT PASSIVE PARTICIPLES IN GREEK AND BULGARIAN
Authors: YORDANOVA-PETROVA Desislava
Published: October 2023

The present article is a comparative study of the present passive participles in Greek and Bulgarian, their meaning, use, as well as the Bulgarian equivalents of the Greek present passive participles. From a typological point of view, we can assign the present passive participle to the category of linguistic phenomena that exist in Bulgarian and Greek, but differ significantly in their meaning and use. It was this fact that generated my interest in the type of participle in question, and the purpose of the present study is, with the help of comparative analysis, to reveal the main similarities and differences in the meanings and use of the present passive participle in Greek and Bulgarian. In the first part of the study, a system-level analysis was performed – the formation, meaning and use of the present passive participles in each of the two languages are presented separately. Even here, significant differences emerge in the characteristics of the studied participles in the two languages. In the second part of the study, the analysis moves to the level of speech – the concrete implementation in speech of the present passive participles is analyzed, by means of a comparison of their use in certain texts and for this purpose, documents issued by the European Union and translated into Greek and Bulgarian have been selected.

ANALISIS MORFOLOGI SERAT DAN KEKUATAN IMPAK BAHAN KOMPOSIT BERPENGUAT SERAT PINANG (ARECA CATECHU) YANG TELAH DILAKUKAN PERBAIKAN SIFAT FISIK
Authors: Tanjung Iqbal
Published: October 2023

Teknologi modern saat ini membutuhkan material dengan sifat mekanik tinggi yang tidak dihasilkan pada material konvensional seperti logam, keramik, dan polimer. Salah satu material yang berpotensi dapat memenuhi beberapa kriteria dari sifat mekanik tersebut dapat ditemui pada material komposit. Material komposit merupakan kombinasi dari dua atau lebih material memalui sebuah proses pecampuran yang tidak homogen, hasil pencampuran ini menghasilkan sifat mekanik dan karakteristik dari masing masing material pembentuknya.  Secara umum terdapat dua kategori material penyusun komposit yaitu matriks dan reinforcement (penguat). Secara umum penguat yang sering digunakan adalah serat (fiber). Bahan penguat serat ini terbagi menjadi beberapa jenis yaitu serat sintetis dan serat alam.  Sejak tahun 1970 serat sintetis seperti serat kaca dan serat karbon lebih banyak dipakai karena memiliki sifat mekanik yang bagus. Namun, serat sintetis memiliki sifatnya tidak ramah lingkungan. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut penggunaan serat alam sebagai penguat bahan komposit merupakan solusi prospektif dimasa mendatang. Salah satu serat alam yang berpotensi untuk menggantikan serat sintesis adalah serat Pinang (areca catechu). Pinang sangat banyak dijumpai pada perkebunan di Indonesia terutama di Sumatera Utara. Meskipun ketersediannya melimpah di alam dan terbarukan, namun potensinya masih kurang dimanfaatkan dibandingkan dengan serat-serat alam lainnya. Sehingga pengembangan bahan komposit berpenguat serat alam buah pinang menjadi salah satu topik penelitian yang menjanjikan. Adapun tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengembangkan bahan komposit berpenguat serat pinang dan mempelajari karakteristik bahan komposit berpenguat serat pinang dengan pendekatan eksperimental. Berdasarkan hasil yang didapat perbaikan alkali berhasil memperbaiki permukan serat pinang. Perlakuan alkali berhasil membuat kekasaran permukaan pada serat pinang dan menjadi lebih bersih. Selanjutnya perbaikan sifat fisik menggunakan perlakuan alkali NaOH berhasil meningkatkan kekuatan impak bahan komposit berpenguat serat pinang sebesar 40%. Kekuatan impak material komposit dengan Perlakuan alkali durasi 3 dan 5 jam memiliki nilai kekuatan impak tertinggi sebesar 7,561 KJ/m2 dan 8,225 KJ/m2. Komposit memiliki kompatibilitas antarmuka yang baik, beban impak yang diterima oleh matriks epoksi dapat ditransfer ke serat. Oleh karena itu, serat memainkan peran utama sebagai penguat matriks.

Authors: Sukhairi Teuku Arriessa , Harahap Jagodang , Wahju Santoso Djarot
Published: October 2023

Helicopters have a unique advantage over airplanes in that they can adjust the direction of their blades to generate lift in any direction, allowing them to perform vertical takeoffs and landings and hover in one spot. This capability makes them highly valuable for a variety of operations, including transportation. A crucial component in the helicopter control system is the swash plate, which allows for adjustments to the angle of the rotor blades to achieve specific maneuvers.To manufacture and model components such as the swash plate, rotor head, and rotor blades, CATIA V5R16 software can be used. This involves modeling the individual parts in the workbench part design, assembling them in the workbench assembly design, or conducting kinematic analysis using the DMU Kinematics workbench to obtain values for linear velocity, angular velocity, linear acceleration, and angular acceleration. When compared to manual calculations, the differences between the results produced by the CATIA V5R16 software and theoretical calculations are negligible. Therefore, it can be concluded that CATIA V5R16 software is highly capable and suitable for conducting kinematic analysis of three-dimensional components.

Published: October 2023

The development and introduction of digital technology for the past three decades have affected every aspect of human life. Since the introduction of digital technology in schools and colleges, most Graphic Design(GD) students have had difficulties making use of these digital technologies for their various artistic expressions. Therefore, exploiting the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in the visual arts classroom has been rather challenging for students. This study thus set out to explore the challenges of Graphic design students in Senior High Schools (SHS) in Ghana. The study was conducted quantitatively. It employed the purposive sampling methodology to select four Senior High Schools where Visual Arts is studied in the Ho Municipality in the Volta Region of Ghana. The simple random sampling method was used to select 400 students from the four schools to answer the designed questionnaire. The result revealed that GD students do not involve computer applications in design knowledge to enhance creativity in the Visual Arts class because they were not taught how to use the computer application software for their practical work. It is recommended that there is a need to investigate to know the factors affecting the proper integration of ICT in the learning of Visual Art at the SHS level. Secondly, students should be trained to use ICT software to do Graphic Design work in the classroom.

Deviating from Monstrosity
Authors: Copeman Zoe
Published: October 2023

Between 1800 and 1807, Napoleonic reforms to obstetrics exposed more physicians to “monstrous births” (congenital anomalies). These reforms followed post-Revolutionary France’s need to re-define the “individual” and the Enlightenment’s attempts to naturalize the “monstrous.” Drawing on foundational eighteenth-century natural historical and medical texts, the article argues that the French Revolution was a major turning point in the conceptualization of dis/ability. To illustrate this, the illuminated volume
Les Ecarts de la Nature
(1775) by Nicolas-François and Geneviève Regnault and its 1808 edition revised by the physician Jacques-Louis Moreau de la Sarthe are analyzed through contemporary disability studies. The late eighteenth-century’s eventual eradication of monstrosities from the natural realm would lead to certain human bodies becoming normalized and others pathologized. This pathologization involved systematically categorizing human beings into forced binaries. Yet, by attempting to order that which does not fit into a binary,
Les Ecarts
attests that the dichotomy between “normal” and “abnormal” is a false narrative.
Decolonizing Interspecies Relationality
Authors: Lewis Rachel
Published: October 2023

The article examines neoliberal and anthropocentric discourses of disability inclusion in the context of animal rescue. The first part offers a close reading of two US-based documentaries—
Guardians of Recoleta
(Kuhre) and
God’s Little People
(Berkley)—both of which perpetuate ableist and anthropocentric assumptions about transnational adoption as a “cure” or solution for animals with illnesses and disabilities. Drawing upon ethnographic participant observation at a cat sanctuary in Syros, Greece, the second part discusses narratives of feline skin cancer survivors that center around animal agency, pleasure, and desire. By caring for cats in a way that accounts for their capacity to experience pleasure as well as pain, volunteers at Syros Cats articulate a decolonial approach to the question of interspecies relationality, one based not on neoliberal models of ownership and property rights, but rather on a recognition of street cats as subjects of multispecies habitats.
Ecorelational Aesthetics
Authors: Ojrzyńska Katarzyna
Published: October 2023

The article introduces the concept of ecorelational aesthetics, understood as a realm of artistic production and practice that creates a space for meaningful encounters between the human and the nonhuman, which can facilitate rethinking disability and its place in the world. Ecorelational aesthetics helps dismantle anthropocentric and ableist ways of thinking, and reconceptualizes disability as a crucial form of cultural and biological diversity rather than an aberration or deviation from nature. Analyzing Sunaura Taylor’s paintings, Claire Cunningham’s performances
Beyond the Breakwater
and
We Run Like Rivers
(with Julia Watts Belser), the concept behind Hanna Cormick’s performance
The Mermaid
, and the choreodocumentary
Gatunki chronione
(
Protected Species
, dir. Rafał Urbacki and Anu Czerwiński), the article examines key aspects of this aesthetics which accentuates the essential vulnerability of all human and nonhuman beings and promotes an ethics of (inter)dependence and care. The article also uses this as an opportunity to reflect critically upon Rosemarie GarlandThomson’s notion of conserving disability as a valuable resource, i.e. an alternative way of being in the world that facilitates our cultural, epistemic, and ethical growth.
Embodying Otherwise
Authors: Cavar Sarah
Published: October 2023

Larissa Lai’s (2002) visionary novel,Salt Fish Girl, is teeming with sensations beneath and beyond capitalist control. An atemporal narrative follows Miranda, a near-future young woman conceived by a durian and afflicted by a “memory disease” that produces distinctive body odor and flashbacks to episodes of colonial violence that the powerful would prefer to forget. While subjected to treatment for this “disease,” Miranda falls in love with Evie, erstwhile sweatshop laborer with carp DNA and body odor to match. In a story of anti-state, anti-capitalist rebellion, Miranda and Evie defect from straight, sane, and abled sterility. Aided by human/carp comrades called The Sonias, they realize spaces Elsewhere and Otherwise at the edges of the collective imagination. Using a queercrip conceptual framework, the article attends to the alienated, nonhuman body as a site of erotic play through Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha and Ellery Russian’s (2010) concept of the “crip lust of recognition,” arguing that it is within that space of affirmation and lust that criptopias beyond the “rational” might be found(ed). Finally,Salt Fish Girlis read alongside recent works of speculative activist-scholarship to theorize queercrip, multispecies resistance and imagination toward criptopian possibilities.
A Unified Theory of Jetted Tidal Disruption Events: From Promptly Escaping Relativistic to Delayed Transrelativistic Jets
Authors: Teboul Odelia , Metzger Brian D.
Published: October 2023

Only a tiny fraction ∼1% of stellar tidal disruption events (TDEs) generate powerful relativistic jets evidenced by luminous hard X-ray and radio emissions. We propose that a key property responsible for both this surprisingly low rate and a variety of other observations is the typically large misalignment ψ between the orbital plane of the star and the spin axis of the supermassive black hole (SMBH). Such misaligned disk/jet systems undergo Lense–Thirring precession together about the SMBH spin axis. We find that TDE disks precess sufficiently rapidly that winds from the accretion disk will encase the system on large scales in a quasi-spherical outflow. We derive the critical jet efficiency η > η
crit for both aligned and misaligned precessing jets to successfully escape from the disk wind ejecta. As η
crit is higher for precessing jets, less powerful jets only escape after alignment with the SMBH spin. Alignment can occur through magneto-spin or hydrodynamic mechanisms, which we estimate occur on typical timescales of weeks and years, respectively. The dominant mechanism depends on η and the orbital penetration factor β. Hence, depending only on the intrinsic parameters of the event {ψ, η, β}, we propose that each TDE jet can either escape prior to alignment, thus exhibiting an erratic X-ray light curve and two-component radio afterglow (e.g., Swift J1644+57), or escape after alignment. Relatively rapid magneto-spin alignments produce relativistic jets exhibiting X-ray power-law decay and bright afterglows (e.g., AT2022cmc), while long hydrodynamic alignments give rise to late jet escape and delayed radio flares (e.g., AT2018hyz).
Cold modified Del Nido cardioplegia in adults undergoing elective cardiac coronary surgery

Introduction: The cardioplegic solution of Kirklin (Kn) is frequently used in adult cardiosurgical patients. It requires reinfusion at short intervals, which causes further difficulty during surgery and the quality of myocardial protection is often called into question.

Aim: To demonstrate whether the modified cardioplegia of del Nido (MDN) with a longer period of cardiac arrest provides sufficiently effective and reliable myocardial protection when compared to the classic cardioplegia of Kirklin we use in our institution.

Materials and methods: This ambispective clinical-epidemiological study was conducted in the Department of Heart Surgery at St Anna University Hospital in Sofia between January 2017 and September 2021. Using a random number generator, а hundred and twenty patients were selected and divided into two cohorts of 60 patients each. After further data processing, an additional five patients dropped out of the Kirklin group due to a ‘beating heart’ operative technique. As a result, the groups were divided as follows: 1) intermittent cardioplegia Kirklin (Kn, n=55) used in patients between January 2017 and June 2019, and 2) modified del Nido cardioplegia (MDN, n=60) used from June 2019 to September 2021.

Results: In this study, we present our experience with MDN cardioplegia in patients undergoing isolated CABG and compare it with a group of patients who received Kn cardioplegia. The difference in cross-clamp and CPB times is due to the individual qualities and experience of surgeons. When using MDN, the longer intraoperative times not only showed no deterioration in postoperative results, did not increase the need of using an additional dose of cardioplegia, but also did not materialize in a statistically significant difference. The MDN cardioplegia showed significantly less usage of inotropic support (p<0.001) and IABP (p=0.029). Creatinine phosphokinase MB fraction when patients are admitted to intensive care was significantly less in the Kirklin group (p=0.045).

Conclusions: Results suggest that the routine use of modified cardioplegic protection of del Nido in adult patients may be safe, leads to comparable clinical outcomes and could accelerate the surgical process. The reduced incidence in intra- and postoperative complications like DC shocks, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, multiorgan failure and in-hospital mortality should be further studied, as it may imply superiority of myocardial protection with the modified solution.
