Published: August 2024

The development of lexical competence in foreign languages is one of the skills that presents difficulties in the teaching-learning process, as it requires stimulation and retention on the part of the student and creativity from the teacher. In this sense, digital resources emerge as a conducive means to promote new knowledge and consolidate acquired vocabulary. In this context, the present research aimed to determine if digital comics influence the development of lexical competence in English in virtual environments at the higher education level. Methodologically, an experimental design divided into three phases (pre-treatment, treatment, and post-treatment) took place with a sample of 60 students during the autumn of 2023. The results demonstrated an association between digital comics and lexical competence development variables, influencing lexicon acquisition, experiencing creativity, dynamism, and language involvement. Besides, comics supported by Canva, Makebeliefscomix, and Pixton applications contributed to students' cultural, linguistic, and communicative repertoire. Concurrently, users' confidence increased through gradual and systematic recovery, use, and inventive writing activities. Supports such as images, dialogues, characters, and colors encouraged the retrieval of words for subsequent use. In this way, the cognitive process of recall ceased to be merely memorising to transition to a level of long-term significant comprehension. In conclusion, digital comics were plausible for encouraging practical, flexible, and playful vocabulary improvement in a virtual environment.

Introduction/Objective. The objective of the paper was to evaluate the efficacy of Tetradium ruticarpum (A. Juss.) patch (TRP) in combination with Chinese massage (tuina) for the treatment of insomnia in elderly patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods. A cohort of 320 elderly CHF patients with comorbid insomnia, treated at the Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated Wenzhou Hospital from January 2019 to July 2022, were enrolled and equally divided into four groups (80 patients per group). The control group received standard pharmacological intervention with eszopiclone. Patients in the TRP group received TRP alone, while those in the tuina group received tuina therapy alone. Patients in the combined treatment group received both TRP and tuina therapy. All treatments lasted 14 days. Sleep quality was assessed at baseline and then on days 7 and 14 after treatment using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale (PSQI). Results. There were significant reductions in total PSQI scores in all groups on day 7 compared to baseline (p < 0.05). On day 14, the combined treatment, tuina, and TRP groups showed significantly reduced total PSQI scores relative to baseline, while a reversal of this trend was seen in the control group (p < 0.05). The combined treatment group had the lowest total PSQI scores on both days 7 and 14. Conclusion. The combined use of tuina and TRP may be effective in alleviating insomnia in elderly CHF patients. It resulted in consistent and sustained efficacy, potentially reducing the likelihood of drug resistance.

Introduction/Objective. Sprains account for 85% of all ankle injuries. Syndesmosis injuries occur in 1?18% of patients with ankle sprains and are more common in contact sports involving forced foot dorsiflexion. Methods. In our study, we compared 30 patients treated with dynamic fixation for acute syndesmotic injury with patients treated with rigid fixation. The criteria for comparison were: American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle Hindfoot Scale, visual analogue scale (VAS), EuroQol five-dimension questionnaire (EQ-5D), range of motion, complications and reoperations. Results. The mean AOFAS score for patients treated with rigid fixation was 88.6, while the mean score for patients treated with dynamic fixation was 91.6. The mean VAS score for rigid fixation was 83.5, while it was 85.8 for dynamic fixation. Infection as a complication of rigid fixation was present in two patients (11.8%), while it was absent in the dynamic fixation group. The need for implant removal occurred in two patients treated with rigid fixation (11.8%) and in one patient treated with dynamic fixation (7.7%). Conclusion. Based on our results and the results reported by other authors, we prove that there is a lower incidence of problems related to implants and the need for the implant removal with dynamic fixation, based on the results of AOFAS score, we notice better and faster recovery with dynamic fixation as well.
Topology optimization and experimental investigation of cold plate hydrothermal performance
Authors: Cai Yanzhao , Sun Chen , Chen Jinbiao , Wang Wei , Tian Xiwei , Qian Sihao , Wang Xiaohui
Published: August 2024

To enhance the hydrothermal performance of cold plates, this study constructs
a topology optimization framework that integrates conjugate heat transfer
principles, aiming to maximize heat generation and minimize fluid flow
dissipation. The robustness of the design is improved through the
application of projection and density filtering techniques, with the
projection intensity value incrementally increased via a parameter scanning
method to bolster numerical convergence. The inlet and outlet distribution
of the cold plate, aligned along its centerline, is determined through
various target weight combinations, generating clear, continuous layouts. To
further substantiate the effectiveness of the optimized configuration, a
topology optimization design employing an objective function weighting
factor of 0.7:0.3 is chosen to create the three-dimensional geometry of the
cold plate. A parallel flow channel design, maintaining an identical fluid
volume fraction and heat transfer boundary length, is introduced for
comparative analysis. Moreover, performance indices such as surface
temperature, pressure drop across the channel, average Nusselt number, and
thermal resistance are assessed for two cold plates under varying inlet
velocities. Both simulations and experiments indicate that the hydrothermal
performance of the developed topological structure significantly surpasses
that of the conventional parallel channel design, a disparity that amplifies
with increasing inlet velocities.

ABSTRACT

CD8+ T cells are perceived to play a major role in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D). In this study, we characterized the function and phenotype of circulating CD8+ memory T cells in samples from individuals at different stages of T1D progression using flow cytometry and single-cell multiomics. We observed two distinct CD8+ T-cell signatures during progression of T1D within the highly differentiated CD27-CD8+ memory T cell subset. A proinflammatory signature, with an increased frequency of IFN-γ+TNF-α+ CD27-CD8+ memory T cells, was observed in children with newly diagnosed T1D (stage 3) and correlated with the level of dysglycemia at diagnosis. In contrast, a co-inhibitory signature, with an increased frequency of KLRG1+TIGIT+ CD27-CD8+ memory T cells, was observed in islet autoantibody-positive children who later progressed to T1D (stage 1). No alterations within CD27-CD8+ memory T cells were observed in adults with established T1D or in children during the initial seroconversion to islet autoantibody positivity. Single-cell multiomics analyses suggested that CD27-CD8+ T cells expressing the IFNG+TNF+ proinflammatory signature may be distinct from those expressing the KLRG1+TIGIT+ co-inhibitory signature at the single-cell level. Collectively, our findings suggest that distinct blood CD8+ T-cell signatures could be employed as potential biomarkers of T1D progression.

Keywords: type 1 diabetes, autoimmunity, T cells, human, CD8+ T cells, single-cell multiomics

ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS

· Blood CD8+ T-cell signatures have recently been associated with a slower progression of T1D after diagnosis and with clinical response to immunotherapy.

· We investigated blood CD8+ T-cell signatures in individuals at different stages of T1D progression.

· We observed two distinct CD8+ T-cell signatures at different stages of T1D: a proinflammatory signature in children with newly diagnosed T1D (stage 3) and a co-inhibitory signature in autoantibody-positive children who later progressed to T1D (stage 1).

· CD8+ T-cell signatures could potentially be utilized as biomarkers for evaluating the risk of T1D progression.

Environmental, Social and Governance Disclosure Scores and Tax Avoidance
Authors: Teja Adrian
Published: August 2024

This paper aims to understand the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure scores on tax avoidance. The sample consists of public firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, excluding those in the financial services industry, for the period 2015-2021. We employ panel data regression methods, with the dependent variable being the total of deferred tax assets and liabilities and the independent variable being the Bloomberg ESG disclosure scores. The effect of Bloomberg ESG disclosure scores on tax avoidance is controlled by firm leverage, profitability, growth, and size. Our findings indicate that higher Bloomberg ESG disclosure scores have a positive effect on deferred tax assets relative to deferred tax liabilities. This suggests that firms with high Bloomberg ESG disclosure scores contribute to indirect stakeholders, reflecting a broader commitment beyond direct stakeholders. Additionally, we do not find statistical evidence of a significant effect of a firm's financial constraints and growth opportunities on the deferred tax assets relative to deferred tax liabilities. These results imply that tax avoidance is more influenced by a firm's commitment to ESG principles rather than its financial capabilities and growth opportunities. This research provides valuable insights for policymakers and corporate managers, highlighting the importance of ESG disclosure in shaping tax-related strategies and demonstrating a firm’s commitment to broader stakeholder engagement.

Authors: Kiliçaslan Elif Akşan , İskenderoğlu Tuba Aydoğdu
Published: August 2024

Like in proving, teachers have an important role in critical thinking because critical thinking is not an innately given skill, rather, it is acquired later in life. However, at this point, educators have a lot of responsibilities because if the individual can transfer critical thinking to his life at school age, he can live his life more meaningfully, be inquisitive and find solutions to problems after school. For this reason, the opinions of teachers and hence prospective teachers concerning both critical thinking and doing proof are important. In this study, survey and correlational research methods were used together since it was intended to explore the views of pre-service elementary mathematics teachers regarding critical thinking and doing mathematic proof and to understand whether these two correlates. The study was carried out on 158 pre-service elementary mathematics teachers enrolled in a state university in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey. According to the results, the pre-service teachers in this study have a low level of critical thinking disposition. service teachers depending on the grade level at which they were studying. When the participating pre-service teachers’ opinions on mathematical proof were examined, it was noticed that mental process was the highest while self-confidence was the lowest.

Authors: Setiawan Yayan Eryk Setiawan , Sunardi
Published: August 2024

One of the important materials to study in a trigonometry course is the value of trigonometric functions in standard positions. However, the results of preliminary research show that there are still many first semester students who experience errors in determining the value of the trigonometric function in the standard position. These errors are important for further analysis. Therefore this study aims to describe the mistakes of the first semester students in determining the value of the trigonometric function in the standard position. This type of research is a qualitative descriptive study with a case study approach towards students of the mathematics education study program at a university in Malang. The data collected in this study consisted of the subject's work and transcripts of interviews with the subject. Work data were analyzed descriptively to know the types of student errors. The transcript data from the interview results were analyzed by coding, to determine the factors that caused student error. The results showed that out of 34 students who made errors in determining the value of trigonometric functions at the standard position, 11% had conceptual errors, 56% had principle errors, 15% had calculation errors and 18% had factual errors. The results of this study contribute to teaching the material for the value of trigonometric functions in the standard position to reduce conceptual errors, principle errors, calculatin errors, and factual errors.

This study aimed to explore students’ creative thinking process in fifth- grade elementary school in fraction problem solving based on gender differences. Subjects consisted of one male and one female with high mathematical ability. Data were collected by task-based interviews and analyzed through the sequence: data classification, data reduction, data presentation, interpretation, and conclusions. The creative thinking process in this research is a series of stages that students go through in creative thinking, including: exploring facts, identifying problems, generating ideas and completing ideas to produce solutions. By these stages, the subjects produced solutions in geometric and algebraic that showed their creative thinking that fulfilled fluency, flexibility and novelty. The subjects used algorithm solutions by repeating the completion steps. In this research, both subjects related their algebraic solutions with geometric solutions that has been produced. It was found that geometric solutions supported the subjects to deliver algebraic solutions and they related their understanding of fractions concepts to solve the problem. The more students’ knowledge or experiences associated with the problem, the more ideas for solutions they found. In this research, it was also found that there were some similarities and differences between the creative thinking processes of both subjects.

Lymphatic senescence - can we counteract it through lymphatic system stimulation?
Authors: Piller Neil
Published: August 2024

No-one it seems is immune from cellular senescence, as we age. We often focus on this, and the reason is clear; in its chronic form it's part of the process of aging (and eventually dying) of some form of cancer, and/or system dysfunction, be that cardiovascular, intestinal or some other.
However, senescence is also a necessary part of living, having an important role in embryogenesis, wound healing and the tissue remodeling process.
None of our body systems is immune from it, including the vascular and lymphatic systems which are the focus of this article.
In terms of senescence of the lymphatic system there are structural and thus functional changes affecting its ability to function optimally. Some evidence indicates a reduction in lymphatic density and pumping abilities (at least in skin)
But we may be able to make a difference through the application of lymphatic stimulation techniques such as Complex Decongestive Therapy. Manual Lymphatic Drainage and electrostimulation. However, we need more research into their benefits in the older population groups in which we have also some evidence of senescence.

Missing you already: Losing the love of the unhomely homes of the dead
Authors: Lasala Isabel , Roland Stephanie , Simon Katrina
Published: August 2024

Cemeteries are landscapes created to hold the physical remains of people who have died. Their buildings and monuments are architectures of love built to mark the landscapes of the beloved dead. They act as perpetual reminders of love, longing and loss through the words, images, and symbols inscribed in their fabric and in their organisational and material qualities. They can be seen as microcosms of the cities of the living, creating a permanent, if unhomely, home for the dead. 
Decay challenges cemeteries assumed physical state of permanence, transforming them from landscapes of love to abandoned realms of death and even horror. These tensions inherent to cemeteries, between permanence and decay, between remembrance and forgetting, are intrinsic to their enduring power and fascination.
This paper compares three cemeteries located in Paris, France, Windhoek, Namibia and Melbourne, Australia, to explore the history of Western burial landscapes, their colonial application and appropriation as political narratives, and how the concept of perpetuity produces deserted urban cemeteries. These case studies underscore the significance of preserving cemeteries as cultural expressions, as they often face the threat of vanishing.
