Authors: Antokhina Rosalia I. , Antokhin Evgeny Yu. , Nemtseva Ekaterina K.
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND. Although previous studies have shown that deviant predisposition is an important risk factor for non-suicidal self-harming behavior, the reasons for this relationship are unclear.
AIM. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of deviant behavior, the level of depression and the desire to search for new sensations in adolescents with non-suicidal self-harming behavior.
MATERIALS AND METHODS. At the first stage, 154 adolescents with a history of self-harming behavior were examined. At the second stage, using the Colombian Scale of Severity of suicidal Intentions, 149 adolescents with only non-suicidal self-harming behavior were selected from the entire sample (31.50% of them boys and 68.50% of girls, the average age was 16.35 years; SD=1.15). The study excluded 5 adolescents who had self-harmed for suicidal purposes. Columbia Scale of severity of suicidal intentions, Razuvaeva Suicide Risk Questionnaire, Bass–Perry Aggression Level Questionnaire, Diagnostic questionnaire to identify the propensity to various forms of deviant behavior for students of general education institutions, A. Beck’s depression questionnaire, Diagnosis of the needs of new sensations by M. Zuckerman, methods of descriptive statistics, r-Spearman correlation analysis.
RESULTS. Persons prone to aggressive behavior in general are more likely to show inconsistency, demonstrativeness, poorly developed time perspective and uniqueness. Teenagers who have a poor idea of the future (a weak time perspective) are characterized by a high level of general aggressiveness, hostility, physical aggression, as well as a desire to search for sensations. Adolescents with depressive syndrome with feelings of insolvency, helplessness, are prone to deviant behavior in general, and to the search for new sensations.
CONCLUSION. The correlation analysis revealed statistically significant correlations of aggression, autoaggression, deviant behavior, desire for sensation seeking and depression in adolescents. The results of our study provide the basis for an intervention aimed at preventing and reducing adolescent NSSP and deviant behavior in general.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: Secondary cataract is a frequent complication of the postoperative period of cataract surgery.
AIM: To evaluate the timing of secondary cataract formation in pseudophakic eyes after cataract extraction phacoemulsification, carried out as traditional phacoemulsification in comparison with femtolaser cataract surgery.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of patients who underwent YAG laser posterior capsulotomy (98 people, 108 eyes). All patients were divided into two groups. First group (54 people, 58 eyes) consisted of patients in whom secondary cataract occurred after traditional phacoemulsification. In the second group (44 people, 50 eyes) secondary cataract occurred after femtolaser-assisted cataract surgery. All patients were implanted with a monofocal intraocular lens MIOL-2.
RESULTS: The data analysis revealed that the period of secondary cataract formation in the first group was 2.83 ± 1.25 years, in the second group 3.75 ± 1.0 years.
CONCLUSIONS: The analysis showed that the secondary cataract after traditional phacoemulsification occurs earlier by an average of 1 year than after femtolaser-assisted cataract surgery.

Authors: Ahmetov Nail R. , Samoylov Aleksandr N. , Usov Viktor A.
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: Applanation tonometers remain popular in most countries of the world; in Russia, the Maklakov tonometer is one of them. When using a Maklakov tonometer, intraocular pressure values are obtained indirectly through the cornea, which has individual characteristics, which certainly introduces its own errors into the accuracy of the measurement results.
AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of keratotopographic parameters on tonometric intraocular pressure.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A study of 16 keratotopographic indices (using ALLEGRO Oculyzer Wavelight Oculyzer II) and of tonometric intraocular pressure values obtained using Maklakov tonometer (NGm2-“OFT-P”) was carried out in 500 patients (1000 eyes). Among the study population there were patients with both emmetropic refraction — 8 eyes (0.8%), and patients with refractive errors 992 eyes (99.2%), among them: 978 eyes (97.8%) had myopic refraction 14 (1.4%) eyes had isolated refraction with myopic astigmatism. 889 eyes (88.9%) combined myopic refraction with myopic astigmatism.
RESULTS: Based on the analysis of 16 keratotopographic parameters and tonometric intraocular pressure values, 500 patients (1000 eyes), the greatest influence of 13 studied parameters of the cornea was determined, such as: K1 (keratometry of flatter meridian); K2 (keratometry of steeper meridian); Km (mean keratometry); Rf (radius of the flatter meridian); Rs (radius of the steeper meridian); Rm (mean radius of curvature); Rmin (minimal radius of curvature); Rper (average radius of curvature between the 6 mm and 9 mm zone center); IVA (index of vertical asymmetry); ISV (index of surface variance); CKI (central keratoconus index); Thickness (thickness); IHD (index of height decentration) — on intraocular pressure values.
CONCLUSIONS: Based on the results obtained, we determined the effect of topographic parameters of the cornea on tonometric intraocular pressure, and created a formula for correcting intraocular pressure values based on the original formula we developed: Pt keratotopographic corrected = Pt + (±ISVp) + (±IVAp) + (±Rmp) + (±Kmp) + (±CKIp) + (±Thicknessp), where Pt keratotopographic corrected is the corrected tonometric intraocular pressure and Pt is the tonometric intraocular pressure.

Published: January 2024

The authors describe their experience of successful laser additional correction of residual myopic refractive error (Vis OD = 0.04; Sph –5.75 D, Cyl –2.00 D, ax 25° = 0.4) using the FemtoLASIK method with the MEL-90 excimer laser and the VISUMAX femtosecond laser (Carl Zeiss Meditec) in a 15-year-old patient on a pseudophakic eye (Acrysof® Natural, model SN60AT), with moderate glistening and refractive amblyopia after phacoemulsification of congenital posterior capsular cataract with IOL implantation performed at the age of 7 years. Moreover, the very next day after present surgery, the patient’s maximum distance visual acuity without correction increased to 0.5, but she still had the ability to read ordinary magazine text at close distance. Thus, the described clinical case confirms that FemtoLASIK technology can be successfully used as the second stage of bioptics (laser correction of myopia in pseudophakic eyes) in young patients.

BACKGROUND: Visual impairment is a worldwide problem for the humanity in general, including students.
AIM: to conduct a rough estimate of the visual system status in senior medical students at Russian universities taking a training according to General Medicine educational program 31.05.01 (specialty) and having completed the ophthalmology course.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: an online anonymous survey of students from five universities in various cities of the country was conducted using an original interactive questionnaire. Answers were received from 549 respondents, predominantly women (n = 425, 77.4%), mean age 22.4 ± 0,06 years.
RESULTS: Only 42.7% of students rated their vision as “excellent” or “good.” The most common refractive error according to the survey participants’ self-assessment was myopia, which was reported by 56.1% of them, while 21.9% of respondents reported that they did not know their clinical refraction; 25.5% of students confirmed the presence of astigmatism. 56.9% of respondents use optical correction, glasses being the most popular option. 76.7% of the respondents had their vision testing, and 64.5% visited an ophthalmologist within the last year. Any other concomitant ocular condition (refractive errors excluded) was reported by 4.9% of students (most frequently various types of vitreoretinal pathology, dry eye syndrome, and strabismus were mentioned). 57.9% of respondents believe their vision to have worsened over the past few years, and excessive visual stress was considered the leading cause, reported by 57.2% of the study participants. The respondents rated the importance of having a good vision at 9.25 ± 0.06 points on an arbitrary scale from 1 (minimum) to 10 (maximum) points.
CONCLUSIONS: Senior students at Russian medical universities highly appreciate the importance of good vision, while more than half of respondents have visual impairments, use optical correction, and also believe that their vision continues to deteriorate. Insufficient awareness of some students about their vision and gaps in ophthalmological knowledge were revealed.

Authors: YANDAYAN GENÇ Hanife , SARAN Ceren , AKÇURA Sevim
Published: January 2024

Aims:The Mediterranean fruit fly, medfly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a serious pest of many fruits and vegetables. This study was conducted to determine antifeeding and insecticidal activities of some essential oils extracted from Pelargonium graveolens (Geraniaceae), geranium, Lavandula intermedia Mill. (Lamiaceae), lavender, Nigella sativa L. (Ranunculaceae) black cumin, and Laurus nobilis L. (Lauraceae), laurel, against second instars of the Medfly on artificial diet.

Material and Methods:The essential oils were obtained by Clevenger-type water distillation and a laboratory reared medfly colony was used in the study. Each tested essential oils with 6 different doses were distributed over the artificial diet in a Petri dish having 20 larvae. All experiments were performed under laboratory conditions of 23±1°C, 50% RH and 16: 8 (L:D) photoperiods. Probit MsChart was used to estimate LC50 and LC90 values of the tested essential oils. GGE Biplot analyzes were created with the larval mortality based on the different essential oil doses.

Results: As results, the highest larval mortality was determined with addition of laurel and black cumin oils into the diet. The highest mortality was detected in black cumin oil at the lowest concentrations. Based on GGE Biplot analyzes, the essential oil of black cumin has observable larvicidal properties.

Discussion: The results were provided fundemental information about insecticidal and antifeeding properties of the medfly in laboratory.

Conclusions:Further studies needed to integrate sustainable management programmes with natural insecticides against the medfly larvae.

There is stenosis or narrowing of the internal carotid artery in Moyamoya disease, a relatively rare kind of neurological condition. This may result in illnesses like ischemia, haemorrhage, or even a potentially fatal stroke. It is still unclear what this disease's specific pathogenesis is understood. The Moyamoya disease has a total of six stages. Scientists have not yet developed a drug that can fully treat moyamoya disease because it is such a rare disorder. Surgery is the only approach that works here. But once more, this won't help with finishing the course of treatment. It will only aid in slowing the spread of the disease

Published: January 2024

Se buscó analizar la equivalencia terapéutica de rivaroxabán tabletas por medio de perfiles comparativos de disolución y de un estudio in vivo comparativo de farmacocinética. Se realizaron perfiles de disolución comparativos para tabletas recubiertas de rivaroxabán de 10, 15 y 20 mg, en tres medios, que se analizaron por cromatografía líquida de alta resolución. Los resultados se compararon por pruebas de similitud (f2). Para el análisis de bioequivalencia se realizó un ensayo clínico abierto, aleatorizado, cruzado, en ayunas y posprandial en el que se compararon rivaroxabán de 20 mg fabricado por Medley Farmacéutica Ltda. (medicamento de estudio), con rivaroxabán 20 mg fabricado por Bayer Pharma A/G (Xarelto®, medicamento de referencia). La cuantificación se realizó por medio de cromatografía líquida acoplada a la espectrometría de masas en modo MS/MS, con patrón interno de rivaroxabán-d4. En análisis in vitro del perfil de disolución se determinó una similitud mayor a 50, en todos los medios, para rivaroxabán de 10, 15 y 20 mg. En el análisis in vivo se evidenció que la media de la Cmáx, ASC0-1, ASC0-inf para el rivaroxabán de estudio era equivalente al de referencia y cumplía con los criterios de bioequivalencia. Lo anterior demuestra, que, en el rango de pH fisiológico, la formulación de rivaroxabán 10 mg y 15 mg presenta una cinética de disolución similar a la formulación de rivaroxabán 20 mg, en tabletas recubiertas y el análisis de biodisponibilidad permite determinar bioequivalencia entre la formulación de referencia y la de estudio, infiriendo así un mismo efecto farmacológico y equivalencia terapéutica.

Authors: Moreno Giraldo Lina Johanna , Ponce Ramírez María Alejandra
Published: January 2024

La atrofia muscular espinal (AME) se define como un conjunto de trastornos neurodegenerativos hereditarios causantes de una variabilidad fenotípica y genotípica que genera un impacto sobre la calidad de vida, desarrollo psicosocial, emocional y funcional de quien la padece. En Colombia se considera una enfermedad huérfana con relación a su baja prevalencia, cronicidad y alta com- plejidad. El objetivo de este reporte de caso es describir, caracterizar y correlacionar fenotípica y genotípicamente un paciente con sospecha clínica de enfermedad neurodegenerativa. Se trata de una paciente femenina de 32 años de edad,con cuadro clínico con- sistente en equinismo, varismo, supinación del retropié, aducción del antepié derecho y limitación en muñecas con posterior debi-lidad y atrofia muscular predominantemente en miembros inferiores, arreflexia generalizada y signo de Gowers positivo. Ante sospecha de enfermedad neuromuscular progresiva degenerativa se solicitan estudios endocrinos, neuromusculares, cardiovascu- lares,biopsia de nervio sural y estudio genético.Los resultados arrojan biopsia de nervio sural con pérdida de axones con poca desmielinización,y estudio genómico secuenciación de exoma clínico trío realizado utilizando la tecnología Illumina con identifica- ción de variantes con significado clínico patogénico en el gen NOD2 con cigosidad heterocigota y DYNC2H1 homocigota. Finalmente se realiza red de interacción génica mediante programa GeneMania determinando asociaciones génicas. Conclusión: el diagnóstico de ame representa un desafío debido a su amplia variabilidad fenotípica-genotípica, aunque en la mayoría de los pacientes se deben a variantes en el gen SMN1 existen otros genes no 5q asociados a esta patología, un diagnóstico específico impacta en el tratamiento, pronóstico y morbimortalidad atribuida, estableciendo riesgo de heredabilidad y consejería genética en aras de medicina preventiva, predictiva, personalizada y participativa.
Bacillus thuringiensis y L. sphaericus como biocontroladores de A. aegypti y A. albopictus; vectores de virus del dengue y de la fiebre amarilla
Authors: Aguilar Quintero Allison , Cardoso Pachón Sebastián
Published: January 2024

El dengue y la fiebre amarilla representan actualmente un problema de salud en los países tropicales, en donde se busca que la población adopte medidas para evitar ser afectada por vectores de estas enfermedades. Lamentablemente, siguen registrándose más de 700.000 muertes por infecciones víricas de este tipo. En este estudio se evalúa la eficacia para erradicar estos índices a través de diferentes métodos, como el químico o el biológico. Sin embargo, se encuentra que el control químico no demuestra una eficacia del 100 %, ya que los mosquitos pueden generar resistencia a los pesticidas, sumado a los daños al ambiente que ocasionan estos últimos. En el control biológico, por el contrario, encontramos a los biocontroladores Bacillus thuringiensis y L. sphaericus, que van a actuar a través de toxinas, provocando la muerte del vector, en este caso, de Aedes aegypti y de Aedes albopictus, sin causar daño al ambiente. En Colombia, debido a los altos índices de estas enfermedades en zonas tropicales, se ha propuesto la erradicación del mosquito a través de la educación en salud pública, control vectorial, detección temprana, tratamiento adecuado y vigilancia epidemiológica.

Feedback Linearization Control for a Class of Transformerless Common-Ground VSI
Authors: Assunção Gabriel de O. , Barbi Ivo , Pagano Daniel J.
Published: January 2024

As is well known in practice, conventional transformerless inverters may suffer the risk of high-frequency leakage currents between the photovoltaic (PV) array or battery energy storage systems (BESS) and the ground due to the stray capacitances. This operational condition can generate several electrical problems. Recently, we proposed in [1] a new method for designing transformerless topologies of single-phase voltage source inverters (VSI) with common ground derived from four classical DC-DC converters. As a sequence of that previous work, a novel control technique based on a feedback linearization approach is proposed to control that class of transformerless VSI with common ground in this paper. Unlike the classical local linearization techniques commonly used in the technical literature, this approach allows to obtain large-signal linear equations, by means of the feedback linearization of the non-linear terms. Real-time simulation results using Hardware-in-the-Loop allow validation of the proposed discrete control technique applied to this class of VSI topologies.

Published: January 2024

Supercritical hydrothermal combustion technology is a new homogeneous combustion technology with high
potential in the fields of efficient removal of organic waste, clean utilization of conventional fossil energy, and efficient
recovery of heavy oil. This manuscript reviews the literature related to supercritical hydrothermal combustion in recent
years, and focuses on evaluating the current status of experimental and numerical simulation studies on the characteristics
of supercritical hydrothermal combustion, as well as the latest progress in engineering. It is pointed out that the reduction
of ignition temperature and extinction temperature is the key to promoting the application of supercritical hydrothermal
combustion technology, and the consideration of the real-fluid effects and turbulence-reaction interactions can correctly
reflect the combustion process. In addition, supercritical hydrothermal combustion technology, as a source of heat and
reaction medium supply, can realize the efficient removal of highly concentrated organic wastewater, the clean
combustion of coal and in-situ hydrogen production, as well as the thermal recovery of heavy oil by multi-thermal fluids.
At present, supercritical hydrothermal combustion forced ignition technology, reactor design guidelines, and corrosion
prevention of key equipment are still the focus of future research, which is of great significance to promote the application.

ASIA syndrome (autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants) is a group of autoimmune diseases caused by adjuvants that have the ability to induce immune responses. The syndrome includes five immune-mediated conditions that are associated with prior exposure to various trigger factors, such as siliconosis, macrophage myofasciitis syndrome, Persian Gulf syndrome, sick building syndrome, and post-vaccination autoimmune events. The development of ASIA syndrome is associated with an individual genetic predisposition and occurs as a result of the combined effect of exogenous and endogenous factors that trigger an autoimmune response. In this case, the reaction of the immune system can be unpredictable. The article presents the diagnostic criteria for the syndrome, as well as its clinical, laboratory and morphological manifestations. The spectrum of clinical manifestations of the autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants is extensive and affects almost all systems of the human body. At the same time, its characteristic feature is the regression of clinical, laboratory and morphological manifestations after removal of the adjuvant. There is no doubt that ASIA syndrome has clarified the role of adjuvants in the development of autoimmune processes. This should be taken into account when creating safe vaccines, silicone implants, fillers and other medical devices with minimal side effects. In addition, medical professionals should raise patients’ awareness of the side effects of using certain cosmetic procedures and the use of silicone implants, for which it is necessary to include a description of the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of ASIA syndrome in teaching aids for students, residents and doctors of various specialties as a separate nosological unit.

Aim: The aim of the current study was to evaluate the potential clinical impact of clonal evolution detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in untreated chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) patients managed with a watch-and-wait strategy.

Methods: We performed both overall survival (OS) and time to first treatment (TTFT) analysis. For the first one, we exploited a real-life cohort of 123 consecutive CLL patients followed at our institution, for which at least a second FISH evaluation during watch and wait was available. For TTFT analysis, we considered only patients treated after the second FISH sample (n = 69).

Results: Considering the original cohort, patients who acquired a FISH abnormality displayed a worse outcome with a median OS of 91.9 months compared to 147.3 months for patients who did not acquire any FISH abnormalities (P = 0.007). Unmutated immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (IGHV) genes were associated with a higher probability of acquiring a FISH abnormality (P = 0.04). Turning to TTFT analysis, patients who gained at least one FISH abnormality (n = 7, 10%) were characterised by an earlier treatment requirement with a median TTFT of 1.1 months, compared to 2.7 months in patients who did not acquire any FISH abnormalities (n = 62, 90%) (P = 0.025).

Conclusions: The dynamic acquisition of karyotypic abnormalities by FISH predicts poor outcomes and early treatment requirement in CLL patients. Our results suggest that FISH analysis could be integrated with other clinical and biological features to obtain dynamic scores that are able to predict outcomes at different phases of disease history.

Published: January 2024

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with dual linkages can combine advantages and properties of two distinct connectors, enabling the development of multifunctional materials. However, due to challenges in simultaneously forming two types of linkages, the synthesis of COFs with dual linkages remains a significant challenge. Herein, we propose a “three-in-one” molecular design strategy for synthesizing COFs with dual linkages (4-amino-4"-(2,2-dioxan-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)-[1,1':3',1"-terphenyl]-5'-yl) boronic acid (ADTB)-COF and (4'-amino-5'-(4-(2,2-dioxan-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)phenyl)-[1,1':3',1'-teroxan]-5-yl) boronic acid (ADPB)-COF through reversible condensation between three distinct functionalization groups on the monomer. Benefitting from the abundant micropores and high surface area, ADPB-COF showed excellent selective adsorption capability of C3H8 over CH4 (174, 298 K/1 bar). The present work introduces a new approach for constructing COFs with dual linkages, which greatly simplifies the synthesis process and provides a novel opportunity to develop functional materials based on COFs with multi-linkages.

Published: January 2024

Entre os objetivos do desenvolvimento sustentável está o de promover a igualdade de gênero, posto isto, o estudo propõe uma reflexão sobre o corpo no contexto das atividades físicas que são realizadas em Palmas, estado do Tocantins, no período de 2006 a 2020. Foi considerado os dez anos (2006 a 2016) de sistematização da pesquisa do Ministério da Saúde que monitora a população das capitais brasileira em relação aos fatores de risco a doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, como é o caso da obesidade. A publicidade dos dados, pela imprensa local, atribuiu a Palmas o título de capital mais magra do Brasil por apresentar os menores percentuais de obesidade. Estabeleceu-se como objetivos: analisar os mecanismos de controle do corpo e refletir sobre o comportamento das mulheres e dos homens que realizam atividades físicas. Como metodologia, utilizou-se a História Oral, tendo em vista o interesse pela subjetividade inerente às narrativas orais. A análise das narrativas permitiu inferir que os mecanismos de vigilância e controle do corpo, que estabelecem padrões de normalidade, influenciam na decisão de realizar atividade física, tendo em vista a necessidade de garantir a manutenção da ordem binária que validam construções culturais que reforçam as diferenças de gênero.

Este estudo analisa a integração dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) da Agenda 2030 nas práticas acadêmicas da UNIFAP entre 2005 e 2021. O estudo tem como objetivo confrontar as práticas acadêmicas da UNIFAP no período de 2005 a 2021 com os ODS da Agenda 2030, visando perspectivar em que medida a instituição contribui para a implementação destes objetivos no contexto local e identificar possíveis impasses que afetam a sua capacidade de implementação. Utilizou-se uma abordagem descritiva e exploratória, empregando técnicas bibliográficas e documentais para coletar e classificar as ações relacionadas aos ODS. A lista de palavras-chave elaborada pelo Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada (IPEA) em colaboração com o Conselho Nacional de Justiça (CNJ) foi utilizada para classificar as ações. Os resultados mostram que a UNIFAP é um aparelho estratégico na promoção dos ODS, concentrando seus esforços nos desafios apresentados pelos ODS 8, 4, 16 e 3, seguidos pelos ODS 9, 11, 15 e 10. Por outro lado, os ODS 17, 14, 12, 2, 5, 13, 6, 7 e 1 recebem menor atenção. É importante ressaltar que as partes do sistema acadêmico da UNIFAP têm contato com os ODS de formas distintas, revelando a desarticulação entre suas funções e a ruptura da indissociabilidade entre o ensino, pesquisa, extensão e a gestão.

In reality, many English learners find it difficult to speak and to express their idea in English. Knowing less vocabulary, lack of self confidence, and pronunciation’s error have mostly become the most popular reasons of the students to always keep their briliant ideas to speak. It was proven by the current research at one of senior secondary school in Jember which the students also have the same problems as mentioned above. Therefore, the objective of this research was to enhance senior secondary students’ speaking skill. The researcher employed classroom action research as the research design. This research was conducted at one of senior high schools in Jember, East Java, Indonesia. The data were collected from 18 students in one class and from one cycle of teaching which consisted of five sessions. The cycle covered four stages, including plan, action, observation, and reflection. The result of this research showed that the students’ speaking skills were improved for nineteen percents (19%) after the implementation of video-assisted guided conversation. It was validated by the students’ average score which has improved from sixty seven to eighty. It indicates that the use of video-assisted guided conversation could enhance students speaking skills.

This study concerned with students’ viewpoints toward part of speech which attempted to figure out the students’ viewpoints about parts of speech, to explore students’ problems in learning parts of speech, and to reveal the students’ strategies to be acquainted with part of speech. This research was a qualitative study where the data were collected by interview. The subjects of this research were 28 students (15 females and 13 males) in the third semester, English Education Department at Faculty of Training and Education of a State University in West Sulawesi who were chosen randomly. All of the students were interviewed about their viewpoints about parts of speech. Based on the result of the research, the researcher found that some students misunderstood the definition of part of speech, and some of them understand it. The students were found to have problems in learning parts of speech such as being less practice, not mastering the parts of speech well, lack of vocabulary, and inability to differentiate parts of speech, as well as lack of understanding. In the mean time, the students’ way to become familiar with parts of speech was by memorizing the word classes, knowing the characteristics of the word, paying attention to the position of the word in a sentence, knowing the meaning of the word, guessing the word, and looking at the word before and after in a sentence or text. The result of the study could be useful for future lectures about parts of speech.
