Authors: Lengari Yoana Gita Pradnya , Maria Dimitrij Anggie Pavita
Published: February 2024

This paper discusses the metaphor categories and the translation strategies that are used in Twilight (2005) novel using Newark’s (1988) theory of metaphor categories and Larson’s (1984) theory of metaphor translation strategies. The acquired data consist of verbal data from Source Language (SL) text and Target Language (TL) text from both novels. This study is a qualitative study with note-taking technique library research, and observation. The library research and observation were applied to obtain information and evidence about the metaphor categories and the translation strategies used by the translator. The data then collected and noted using the note-taking technique, and there were 264 data gathered from SL and TL text which then analyzed to determine the categories and translation strategies of the metaphors. The analysis of the data then showed that dead metaphor is the main category that are found in SL and TL text with 172 data in SL text and 136 data in TL text. The next categories found is stock metaphor with 61 data in SL and 36 data in TL text, followed by cliché metaphor with 31 data in SL and 26 data in TL. There were no original, adapted, and recent metaphor categories found from the gathered data. In terms of metaphor translation strategies, there are four strategies used by the translator to translate metaphor as follows: (1) 150 data found translated using the strategy of metaphor/simile to metaphor/simile with the same image, (2) 9 data found translated using metaphor to simile strategy, (3) 56 data found translated by using metaphor to metaphor in the receptor language strategy, and (4) 150 data found translated using the strategy of metaphor to non-figurative language. The determination of metaphor categories and the translation strategies can help both the translator and the receptor language readers in a way that the categorization of the metaphor may assist the translator consider the most appropriate strategy to translate figurative language. Moreover, using the appropriate translation strategy can contribute to the accuracy, acceptability, and readability of the translation receptor language readers.

Published: February 2024

Black Swan (2010) is a psychological horror movie that explores themes of ambition, perfectionism, and the psychological toll of obsession in the competitive world of professional ballet. The movie delves into Nina's descent into madness as she strives for artistic perfection, blurring the lines between reality and hallucination. The aim achieved in this analysis includes examining how psychological stress manifests itself, how high-pressure artistic circumstances can distort reality, and how these factors influence the protagonist's spiral toward mental instability. This is qualitative-descriptive research. The researchers follow a four-step process involving data identification, classification, analysis, and concluding. The main data collection comes from Black Swan (2010), focusing on scenes when Nina Sayers experiences mental breakdowns. The researchers collected data from the film itself and several journals, focusing on Nina's mental disorders and applying Freudian concepts to analyze her behavior and personality. The research results show that obsession and strong demands for perfection from herself and others have disturbed Nina's mental instability in Black Swan (2010).

Published: February 2024

The behaviour of a leader has a significant impact on the actions and feelings of employees. Many European university researchers have recently focused on the impact of effective leadership behaviour on the behaviour of subordinates. Positive behaviour of the leader toward his subordinate creates a sense of belonging to the organization, which reduces the outflow of employees from the organization and improves support for the leader. Leader's behaviour was studied within our research. The object of the research was the Ministries of Economic Profile of Georgia. The purpose of this article is to analyze the influence of the leader's behaviour in terms of gender on such issues as the respondent's perception of himself as a valuable member at work, support for the respondent's career development, motivation of employees to perform the work, effort invested by the respondent at work, and desire to change the leader. Furthermore, the study aimed to investigate the impact of financial benefits on employee satisfaction and motivation. In total, 821 respondents participated in the study. The SPSS software package was used to analyze the obtained data. In such countries as Georgia, there is a stereotypical attitude towards women. Sometimes, the mentioned factor is also reflected in the leader's behaviour. As a result, women have to overcome a variety of challenges, frequently face the glass ceiling phenomenon, and have to break stereotypes. In some cases, as a result of research, it is clear that not only women but also men show a negative attitude toward the leader's behaviour, which indicates the shortcomings of the current management style. Five hypotheses were formulated during the research process, and based on their analysis, we developed recommendations that we believe to be an effective way to solve multiple challenges.

Published: February 2024

The main purpose of the article is a theoretical and methodological substantiation of the optimal choice of a modern strategy for implementing state policy for the development of small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine. The object of the study is the development of small and medium-sized businesses. The subject of the study is the state policy for the development of small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine. The scientific task posed in the article involves demonstrating a new approach to choosing the optimal strategy for implementing the state policy for the development of small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine. The research methodology involves the use of various methods, including the expert analysis method, the paired comparison method, the Delphi method, the integral assessment method, the regression analysis method and a number of general theoretical methods, such as synthesis, deduction, abstract logical, etc. As a result of our research, we presented two models of optimal financial support for the development of small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine. The calculation made it possible to select one that is most significant for modern conditions. An approach is proposed to assess the effectiveness of the development of small and medium-sized businesses through the calculation of an integral indicator of the effectiveness of the implementation of state policy for the development of small and medium-sized businesses. The study has limitations and does not take into account statistics for the last year in the calculation due to the lack of a number of indicators due to martial law. Prospects for further research are to focus on solving the problems of effectively countering modern financial threats and risks in the context of implementing state policy for the development of small and medium-sized businesses under martial law.
Doctora: «¡La podóloga ya no sabe qué hacer!»

Published: February 2024

La psoriasis es una afección autoinmune que puede brotar con la exposición a ciertos desencadenantes. Su prevalencia es variable, estimándose que afecta al 2-4% de la población occidental.

Se produce cuando el ciclo vital de las células de la piel se acelera, lo que genera una rápida acumulación de células ásperas y muertas, que se acumulan y forman manchas escamosas y secas.

Puede aparecer casi en cualquier parte del cuerpo, incluyendo las manos y los pies. Se presenta como una erupción monomorfa, simétrica, cuya lesión elemental es muy característica: una placa roja, bien delimitada, redondeada u oval, de tamaño variable, recubierta con abundantes escamas blanquecinas, nacaradas y finas. Cuando la lesión se localiza en pliegues, las escamas pueden estar ausentes. A diferencia de las dermatitis y con mayor frecuencia, las escamas de la psoriasis son más gruesas y de aspecto algo más seco que las escamas de la dermatitis seborreica. Las manifestaciones son: enrojecimiento de la piel y aparición de manchas rojas o escamas, dolor y molestias, piel seca y agrietada que incluso puede llegar a sangrar y descamación de la piel; hinchazón y ardor en la zona son característicos de procesos agudos poco evolucionados.

El tratamiento ideal debe conseguir y mantener a largo plazo una afectación leve, localizada y controlable con medicación tópica.

Respecto a la psoriasis pustulosa palmoplantar o pustulosis palmoplantar, se engloba dentro del llamado grupo de las psoriasis de difícil tratamiento y se da con mayor frecuencia en mujeres de mediana edad. Cursa con pequeñas pústulas estériles sobre una base eritematosa en las palmas de las manos y las plantas de los pies. Estas pústulas no se rompen, pero adquieren un color pardo-oscuro y evolucionan a escamas en ocasiones muy dolorosas. Las lesiones palmares suelen ser bilaterales y anteriores a las plantares. Ocasionalmente solo existe afectación palmar, mientras que la afectación plantar única es muy rara.

Nous terminerons par quelques réflexions sur les résultats déjà visibles de ce dispositif, ainsi que les actions et prochaines étapes à mener, qui impactent le PER, le corps estudiantin et la posture des documentalistes.
Development of a maturity model to assess the FAIRness of architectural data in Switzerland
Authors: CARACUTA Valentina , SCHAER Charlotte
Published: February 2024

This research carries out an in-depth assessment of the application of the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) principles by the Swiss scientific community specialized in architecture, and consequently its positioning in the context of open science. The FAIR maturity assessment of research data is based on the use of maturity models. They provide a structured framework for implementing and improving data management practices. Our methodology involved a careful comparison of six existing maturity models and their alignment with the FAIR principles. This ensured a relevant and appropriate selection of evaluation criteria for own model. Developing straightforward criteria that can be applied in real-world scenarios is a key aspect of our approach. Inspired by the FAIR principles, we formulated our matrix-based maturity model, the Architectural Maturity Model (AMM). The goal of the AMM is to improve the understanding of metrics using a question-answer approach. We then applied the AMM to evaluate selected datasets stored in the Zenodo and ETH Research Collection repositories to assess the FAIRness of architectural research data.

The results show that architectural data are findable and accessible, but that they not very interoperable and can be reused only with limitations. To improve the FAIRness of architectural research data we recommend data producers to prioritize licences without restriction (e.g. CC0) and open formats. We also encourage researchers to discuss with their data stewards how to use controlled vocabularies to improve the visibility of their data on digital platforms.
POTENTIAL THREATS TO THE ECOLOGICAL STATE OF WATER IN THE SEVASTOPOL BAY
Authors: Kondratev S.I. , Orekhova N.A.
Published: February 2024

The purpose of the work is to discuss the main environmental problems of the state of waters in the Sevastopol Bay and to identify the causes affecting their quality. Four seasonal surveys of the Sevastopol Bay water area in 2022 confirmed the prime impact of the Black River runoff, a main source of nutrients, on the hydrochemical composition of the bay waters.At the same time, it is noted that the hydrochemical parameters of the South Bay waters are predominantly affected by freshwater runoff in the estuarine part of the area rather than by the Black River water. It is assumed that the runoff is permanent, and not emergency, as previously thought. With the winds of the southern directions, the spread of the South Bay water to the central part of the Sevastopol Bay is possible, thus affecting the state of its ecosystem.In summer an additional source of ammonium ions was recorded in the estuarine part of the Artillery Bay, next to which the Crystal city beach is located, with concentrations 80 times higher than the background. Since ammonium is a product of organic matter oxidation, its appearance may indicate the predominance of destructive processes, which affect living conditions of biological organisms and, in general, the ecological state of waters. In the warm season a constant deficiency of oxygen was observed in the bottom waters of an artificial depression under the floating dock, which in some cases leads to the formation of hydrogen sulfide. All detected threats affect the ecological state of entire ecosystem of the bay, the living conditions of biological organisms and the recreational potential of the bay
Lemierre’s syndrome – case report
Authors: Pychyński Tomasz , Bereza-Andrzejewska Aleksandra , Milżyńska Joanna , Pychyński Wojciech
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Lemierre’s syndrome or Lemierre’s disease is sepsis caused by tonsillitis. This is a rare disease that occurs during or after pharyngitis, connected with inflammation of the internal jugular vein and subsequent embolic abscesses in the lungs or viscera. It is most common in teenagers and young adults. The incidence of Lemierre’s syndrome is unknown but it is estimated at 1–2.5 cases per million people per year. The most common pathogen responsible for the disease is Fusobacterium necrophorum – from the name of this bacterium, the syndrome is also called necrobacillosis. Before the era of antibiotics, which began in the 1940s with the introduction of penicillin, Lemierre’s syndrome was more common and usually resulted in death after a few weeks. Over time, it became a „forgotten disease”, but nowadays, with the reduction of antibiotic therapy in common upper respiratory tract infections in young adults, the incidence of this syndrome is increasing again.

Case report: In this study, the authors present the case of a 44-year-old man who was hospitalized due to life-threatening complications resulting from pharyngitis that had not been treated for about a week. Despite prompt treatment, subsequent complications could not be avoided. Ultimately the patient was saved.

Conclusions: The occurrence of Lemierre’s syndrome is associated with a mortality rate of approximately 5–18%, but without proper diagnosis, the mortality rate is much higher. Although this disease is rare, it is worth remembering it, especially in young adults after a throat infection, with neck pain and pulmonary symptoms (abscesses, infiltrates in the lung parenchyma, pleural effusion).

Authors: Erdur Zülküf Burak
Published: February 2024

Objectives: This study aims to determine the effect of nasal septal deviation (NSD) on the volumes of the paranasal sinuses, also considering the sex of the patients. Patients and Methods: One hundred and eighty-four patients (95 females, 89 males; mean age: 32.4±12 years; range, 17 to 69 years) with NSD were included in the retrospective study between January 2018 and March 2020. Patients were grouped according to the radiologically measured NSD angle: Group 1, <90° (mild deviation); Group 2, 90-150° (moderate deviation); Group 3, >150° (severe deviation). The volumes of the frontal, maxillary, and sphenoid sinuses on the deviated and opposite sides were calculated and compared. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the deviated- and opposite-side volumes of the frontal, maxillary, and sphenoid sinuses of the female patients in all three groups and male patients in Groups 1 and 3 (p>0.05). Maxillary sinus volume on the deviated side was smaller than the opposite side in male patients in Group 2 (p=0.028). The frontal sinus volume on the deviated side and maxillary sinus volume on the opposite side of the male patients in Group 2 were higher than Groups 1 and 3 (p=0.046, p=0.017). Conclusion: Nasal septal deviation does not affect the volumes of the paranasal sinuses in females. Moderate NSD in males may affect the volumes of frontal and maxillary sinuses.
Red blood cell distribution width may predict the prognosis of vestibular neuritis
Authors: Başkadem Yılmazer Ayça
Published: February 2024

Objectives: The study aimed to determine whether red cell distribution width (RDW), as well as other inflammatory markers of complete blood count, have any predictive value for the etiology, diagnosis, and prognosis of vestibular neuritis (VN). Patients and Methods: Forty-two VN patients (28 females, 14 males; mean age: 46.7±11.0 years; range, 20 to 75 years) and 50 controls (32 females, 18 males; mean age: 44.4±6.0 years; range, 22 to 55 years) were included in the retrospective study between May 2016 and May 2018. Red cell distribution width and neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet, and monocyte levels were documented from the hemogram records of all patients. Additionally, the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and lymphocyte-monocyte ratio were calculated. Results: In the VN group, NLR and PLR values were significantly high (p=0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). Red cell distribution width, platelet, lymphocyte, and monocyte levels were significantly high and hemoglobin was significantly low in VN patients with long-lasting spontaneous nystagmus (p<0.001, p=0.026, p=0.033, p=0.047, and p=0.006, respectively). Conclusion: High RDW and low hemoglobin levels may predict a poor prognosis in adult VN patients. Moreover, a low lymphocyte-monocyte ratio and high NLR and PLR values are supportive findings in the diagnosis of vestibular neuritis.

A relação entre o COVID-19 e a doença falciforme (DF) é alvo de muitos estudos científicos, que buscam entender como o vírus atua na fisiopatologia da DF. A grande hipótese dos pesquisadores é que o SARS-CoV-2 pode levar ao agravamento das comorbidades comuns à DF, porém elaborar um estudo em um ambiente controlado, com a abrangência de diversas variáveis e dados concretos é um desafio. Dessa forma, a presente revisão sistemática é importante para reunir todos os dados confiáveis e relevantes acerca da temática. Com isso, o estudo foi feito através das plataformas PUBMED e BVS, com os descritores “Sickle cell anemia” e “COVID-19”, combinados com o operador booleano AND, sendo utilizados em português na BVS e selecionados artigos dos últimos 2 anos feitas em humanos. Foram desconsiderados para o trabalho relatos de caso e revisão de literatura, sendo selecionados para escrita após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, 16 artigos. Os resultados demonstraram alta prevalência de dor, trombose venosa profunda, tromboembolismo pulmonar, dispneia, pneumonia, febre, STA entre outros sintomas, em pacientes portadores de DF. Nota-se, portanto, piora significativa da DF durante a infecção pelo COVID-19, uma vez que ela potencializa as fragilidades do sistema imunológico, hematológico e pulmonar desses pacientes.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the trend of female representation in publishing in the Acta Anaesthesiologica Belgica (AAB) from 2005 to 2021. In recent years, there has been an increased focus on gender equality and disparity. However, as far as we know, an evaluation of the Belgian literature in this regard has not been undertaken before.

Methods: The study’s main objective is on determining the gender of the first author, with the gender of the second and last authorship position being secondary outcomes. Additionally, the study aimed to investigate whether other variables, such as the field in which the article was published, study type, the country of origin (of the first author), the first author’s academic degree, the number of authors, and coauthors’ gender, are related to these outcomes.

Results: In total 475 manuscripts were included for data collection, of which 146 (30.7%) had a female first author, 94 (19.8%) had a female second author, and 61 (12.8%) had a female last authorship position. We demonstrated a trend towards greater gender equality in the AAB over time, with more women occupying first and second authorship positions. However, we observed a stagnation in female last authorship positions, with only a small increase of last female authorship of 1.16% reaching 7.41% in 2021. Further analysis showed that female last authorship affected first female authorship. As the number of authors increases, the representation of women (particularly for the last author) diminishes compared to their male colleagues. Lastly, the analysis of gender in relation to the number of coauthors showed that male authors are more likely to publish alone (as a single author) compared to their female colleagues. The AAB predominantly published case reports, observational studies, and narrative reviews, all of which had a higher number of male authors than female authors. The study also uncovered the absence of female first authors in the four systematic reviews published.

Conclusion: From 2005 to 2021, the number of female first authors in the AAB has increased, and there has been a small but steady rise in female last authorship position. However, articles published in the AAB still exhibit a lower representation of female first authors. It is crucial to conduct further research and raise attention to gender disparity in anesthetic – and per extension in scientific - literature.

Peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) for hip fractures are standard of care in many countries at the emergency department and sometimes even in the prehospital setting. This type of analgesic care is however not standard in Belgium. The structural implementation of PNBs at the emergency department depends on the availability of personnel trained in regional anesthesia and a correct informed consent. Given the professionalization of emergency medicine in Belgium since 2005, anesthesiologists have become less involved in most emergency departments. This might cause a potential lack of personnel trained in regional anesthesia. In this article the authors propose a practical guideline with a decision tree to guide better analgesic care for patients with hip fractures in Belgium.

This work aims to demonstrate the importance of knowledge for the formulation of clean technologies in the production of materials and chemical products, which do not go against the interests of society and are centered on environmental preservation. Most chemical processes were conceived at the beginning of the century or in the 1950s, where the principles of preservation of man, the environment and industrial safety were not fundamental requirements in the implementation of these large basic industries. The origin of the raw materials and the multiple industrial technologies adopted in the manufacture of various products and the recovery of industrial waste or other origins are fundamental factors that dictate the quality of the final product. Several industrial processes were presented where the level and type of contaminant is inseparably linked to its origins and the industrial processes imposed. In addition, it is concluded that it is important to develop a critical technical awareness in society, especially in the University, which aims to understand the manufacturing routes of the products and the contaminants generated and/or aggregated during industrial processing, especially in relation to the quality of the products and environmental preservation.
