Hesitative markers eto and eto samoe: structural and temporal aspects
Authors: Zaides K.D.
Published: November 2024

The article discusses the structural and temporal aspects of the hesitative pragmatic markers eto ( ‘whatsit' ) and eto samoe ( ‘whatchamacallit' ). Pragmatic markers, filling in hesitation pauses in speech, fulfill a hesitative function in spontaneous spoken discourse and include a wide range of structurally different units: eto ( ‘whatsit' ), eto samoe ( ‘whatchamacallit' ), kak ego/eyo/ikh ( ‘whatshisname, whatshername, whatretheirnames' ), chto eshcho ( ‘what else' ), etc. As can be seen, by structure, hesitative markers are divided into words, word-combinations, and sentences; however, the sound duration of such markers remains uninvestigated. Considering the characteristics of speech rate in the hesitative markers with various structure - eto ( ‘whatsit' ) and eto samoe ( ‘whatchamacallit' ), - it is possible to test the hypothesis of the tendency to isochronism of speech units and to reveal the mean duration of the hesitative markers. The material for the analysis was approximately 100 contexts of use of the markers eto and eto samoe from the corpus of everyday Russian speech “One Day of Speech”. As a result of analyzing these markers, the mean sound duration of both markers themselves and one syllable in them was obtained. At the syllabic level, the tendency to isochronism was confirmed: one syllable in longer markers forms is pronounced slightly faster than in shorter forms - on average, 25 ms faster, and their structure turned out to be inversely proportional to their sound duration. The perspective of the study is to compare the sound duration of other hesitative markers, as well as to study the speech rate in pragmatic markers and content words, which, due to the hesitative function of markers, may differ from the rate in content units homophonic to markers.

Authors: Plotnikova D.V.
Published: November 2024

The article presents the results of a psycholinguistic experiment carried out among high school students. The purpose of the work is to identify the features of the identification of the initial abbreviation and / or its individual elements by native speakers - users of social networks. Participants in the Internet communication actively use abbreviations not only in personal correspondence, but also as a hashtag to their publications, designed to attract the attention of the target audience. The ability of users to identify abbreviations allows them to predict the content of the desired material. The initial abbreviations used in the Internet discourse mainly by young communicants served as the material for the research. Research methods are the following: methods of observation and selection of initial abbreviations, the choosing abbreviations for conducting an experiment with the help of an expert group, a semantic experiment, statistical methods for processing the results of the experiment. The analysis of the experimental material made it possible to draw conclusions about the peculiarities of the use of the initial abbreviation in the language of users of social networks: the level of assimilation and the frequency of use of the abbreviation depends on the number of its components. The participant in the experiment might not know the exact decoding of the abbreviation, but he indicated the meaning that is regularly updated in speech and described the situation in which it is appropriate to use this linguistic unit. The frequency of use and the variety of abbreviations in the Internet discourse is facilitated not only by the desire of users of social networks to save speech efforts, but also by the need to consolidate the status of participants in Internet communication.

Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the pressed sesame seed oil has met the requirements of the SNI 01-4468-1998 test, and from the functional groups that appear in the ATR-FTIR it can be concluded that the pressed sesame oil contains methyl ester group compounds.
Anna Julia (1638–1683) – eine ehemalige Sklavin aus Dalmatien in Zürich
Authors: Von Orelli-Messerli Barbara
Published: November 2024

Conrad Ferdinand Meyer beschreibt in seiner Novelle Der Schuss von der Kanzel (1877) das Bildnis einer jungen Orientalin, das in ihrem Gemach des venezianisch inspirierten Landhauses auf der Halbinsel Au am Zürichsee hing. Ob es dieses Bildnis im Landsitz von Johann Rudolf Werdmüller (1614–1677) gab oder ob es der Fantasie des Dichters entsprungen ist, muss dahingestellt bleiben. Der Landsitz auf der Au war das Refugium von General Werdmüller, Kriegsmann in verschiedenen ausländischen Diensten, der auch für die Venezianische Republik in Dalmatien einem Regiment mit Schweizer Söldnern vorstand. Doch die Orientalin kann mit einem Namen belegt werden: Es handelt sich um Anna Julia, die im Alter von zehn Jahren als Sklavin von Werdmüller nach Zürich gebracht, getauft und von ihm adoptiert wurde.Tatsächlich hat sich ein Bildnis der Anna Julia auf Schloss Elgg, das sich im Besitz der Familie Werdmüller befindet, erhalten. Es zeigt das Porträt einer ernst blickenden jungen Frau, die auf ihrem Kopf einen Turban trägt und mit einer dunklen Jacke bekleidet ist. Dieses würdevolle Bildnis der Anna Julia hat allerdings, wie in der vorliegenden Studie gezeigt wird, nur wenig mit dem von C. F. Meyer beschriebenen Gemälde zu tun.
Writing about the Middle East in a Postmodern Era. A Critique
Authors: Manea Elham
Published: November 2024

In this paper the complexities of ongoing conflicts in the MENA region are scrutinized through a critical lens. Acknowledging the influence of multiple actors and factors in shaping political history, the paper challenges the prevailing use of postmodern and post-colonial paradigms in framing and assigning responsibility for these conflicts. While recognizing their contributions, the paper argues against their limitations in providing a nuanced understanding of the underlying dynamics and roots of MENA conflicts.
The paper argues that postmodern and post-colonial lenses oversimplify conflicts by presenting them in binary terms and focusing solely on the role of Western colonialism. Instead, it advocates for a broader perspective that considers the complexities of the region's history, including the legacies of the Ottoman Empire and local social structures and actors. It suggests a contextual realist approach analysing conflicts at both internal and external levels, examining state formation processes and regional dynamics. While acknowledging the challenges, it asserts that with the right analytical and methodological tools, a deeper understanding of the region's conflicts and the underlying dynamics of its political landscape is possible.

Authors: Fathoni Muhammad Zainuddin , Asih Anna Maria Sri , Wibisono Muhammad Arif
Published: November 2024

Business process management has become increasingly important in the manufacturing sector, playing a vital role in fostering productivity and facilitating organizational adaptability to technological advancements. Although each company’s business process models vary in uniqueness and complexity, certain similarities can be identified from these differences. This study employs a systematic literature review to aggregate and summarize findings on business process models, modeling languages, clustering techniques, and foundational clustering principles. Results demonstrate the dearth of research on the grouping of business process models in the manufacturing industry. Several studies have focused on sectors such as services, trading, and insurance. Research specifically addressing clustering in the manufacturing sector is limited. Existing clustering efforts in manufacturing revolve around groupings related to product defects, industrial locations, business ecosystems, and similar factors. Analysis of the methods, scope, and criteria used in grouping business process models in the manufacturing industry indicates that most approaches rely on structural or graphic similarities. Follow-up research is lacking once these business process clusters are identified. This study proposes a novel approach to grouping, integrating business process modeling with the implementation of a management information system. Business process management relies on integrating departments within the company through an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The next step involves proposing a conceptual framework to categorize business processes and assess the comparability of models in the manufacturing sector. Future research directions are also delineated.

Published: November 2024

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have a crucial role in driving economic growth and innovation. In the modern business landscape characterized by uncertainty, the adoption of lean philosophy has gained prominence as a means to continuously improve SMEs’ operational efficiency and competitiveness. A fuzzy assessment model was proposed as comprehensive framework and guide for SMEs during their lean journey that utilizes the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP), Fuzzy Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (Fuzzy DEMATEL), and Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (Fuzzy TOPSIS) to serve many objectives; identifying the most important and influence lean dimensions on SMEs leanness; assessing the level of adoption of lean philosophy in SMEs for five essential lean dimensions, namely management, process, supplier, customer, and employee; identifying the interrelationships among them; and identifying the driving dimensions for the improvement process to focus SMEs limited resources on it in improvement process due to its direct influence on the other lean dimensions. The proposed fuzzy model was applied in Iraqi medium-sized enterprise producing healthy water, juice, and soft drinks to identify the most important and influence lean dimension on enterprise leanness, identify the driving dimension of the improvement process, and assess the level of leanness of these five lean dimensions. The results showed that the management dimension has the highest level of importance and influence on SMEs’ leanness, equal to 41.31%, and is distinguished as a driving dimension that has a high influence on improving the driven dimensions of process and customer. Although the level of importance and influence of the process dimension is 19.96%, it is an effect dimension and is considered a driven dimension. Plotting the interrelationship among the five lean dimensions in the diagram shows management has an influence on all lean dimensions and, at the same time, has a mutual relationship with employees and customers. An employee has a mutual relationship with the process dimension. In addition, the results showed that enterprise has deficiency in adopting a lean philosophy, where its level of leanness equal 0.39.

Published: November 2024

This paper presents the development of the photocurable resin material based on the graphene reinforced polyethylene glycol diacrylate (gPEGDA) for vascular stent fabrication using a commercial 3D printer. 3D printing with digital light processing (DLP) technique is an attractive alternative for low-cost fast fabrication with high accuracy. Four photocurable resin compositions were prepared by mixing PEGDA and varied composition of graphene and the photoinitiator according to the design of experiment of 22 full factorial design. The diphenyl (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phosphine oxide (TPO) photoinitiator was adopted to meet the required 405 nm UV-light source wavelength of the 3D printer for stent fabrication. Material characterization of the UV-absorbance and viscosity tests were conducted and optimized to obtain resin printability. Mechanical characteristics tests were conducted to obtain the best resin composition for stent application. For this purpose, the tensile tests were conducted according to the ASTM D638 standard using the type-V specimen size. The test specimens were 3D printed with varied UV exposure time 20 and 30 seconds. Finally, the stents were successfully fabricated using a commercial 3D printer DLP with the bottom parameter time setting of 60 seconds, and the UV exposure time of 30 seconds. The resin material was applicable for 3D printing of the stent. The result has shown that 3D printer with DLP technique is suitable for stent fabrication with excellent surface quality. Moreover, the innovative bioresorbable stent materials and fabrication approach could open up new possibilities in the development of medical devices, particularly in the treatment of vascular diseases.

Authors: Stryhunivska Olena , Korbiel Tomasz
Published: November 2024

This study focuses on developing the appropriate infrastructure between Poland and Ukraine to enable the import and export of hydrogen, ensuring EU consumers have access to sufficient quantities. Such infrastructure is crucial in achieving climate neutrality goals, as it will serve as a key transit area for hydrogen, thereby contributing to sustainable energy development in Europe. To address this, the article reviews existing solutions for hydrogen transportation via pipelines and proposes mapping the hydrogen transportation system between Poland and Ukraine. Specifically, it examines the possibility of constructing a hydrogen pipeline from Ukraine to Poland, with potential connections to the designated hydrogen supply corridors of the European Hydrogen Backbone (EHB) infrastructure. Through the use of Python-created maps and algorithms, the study demonstrates how a hydrogen supply corridor can be established between Poland and Ukraine and effectively integrated with the broader EU hydrogen supply corridors. Furthermore, the article discusses the complex challenges involved in building hydrogen pipelines, particularly the unification of design standards between EU and non-EU countries. Equally critical is the management of hydrogen export and import, given that no platform currently exists between Poland and Ukraine for this purpose. The integration of hydrogen pipeline transport systems is thus highlighted as a matter of international importance, providing a platform for cooperation between the two countries and facilitating the creation of a hydrogen corridor linked to the EU infrastructure. An original contribution of this study is the presentation of a map illustrating the potential corridor connecting the hydrogen pipeline systems between countries, along with the development of algorithms using Python, which open up possibilities for future expansion of the map.

Authors: Tedjawidjaja Detricia , Christanti Dessi
Published: November 2024

Self-comparison (perilaku membandingkan diri) di media sosial cenderung memberikan dampak negatif pada kesehatan mental. Mahasiswa, sebagai pengguna media sosial paling banyak, rentan melakukan perilaku membandingkan diri di media sosial. Self-construal diduga dapat berperan sebagai salah satu prediktor terhadap tingkat social media self-comparison. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengkaji apakah independent dan interdependent construal berpengaruh terhadap perilaku membandingkan diri pada mahasiswa. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 485 mahasiswa, berusia 18–25 tahun, dan menggunakan media sosial. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis regresi. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hanya interdependent construal yang dapat memprediksi secara signifikan perilaku membandingkan diri di media sosial pada mahasiswa, sedangkan tidak ada korelasi antara independent construal dengan perilaku membandingkan diri di media sosial. Meskipun demikian, interdependent construal hanya berkontribusi sebesar 2% terhadap perilaku membandingkan diri di media sosial. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan gambaran bagaimana faktor budaya, khususnya self-construal tertentu dapat mengarah pada munculnya perilaku membandingkan diri di media sosial.

Authors: Kurochka Iryna , Jadallah Joseph , Napdpara Pramit , Goode Jean-Venable
Published: November 2024

Background: Warfarin has many indications; however, it is the only anticoagulant that is indicated for mechanical mitral value and antiphospholipid syndrome.  Management may be conducted by pharmacists in medical clinic settings.
Objectives: To evaluate the percentage difference in the international normalized ratio (INR) target range when managed by a community-based pharmacist with a collaborative practice agreement (CPA) versus a physician and to analyze patient satisfaction of an anticoagulation clinic when managed by a community-based pharmacist with a CPA versus a physician.
Practice Description: Independent community-based pharmacy. Practice Innovation: Community-based pharmacist managed anticoagulation clinic.  Pharmacist provides anticoagulation services under a collaborative practice agreement or conducts INR testing and reporting with physician management of anticoagulation.
Methods: Quasi-experiment study design with retrospective and prospective evaluation of warfarin management and patient satisfaction. A retrospective chart review was conducted of patients enrolled in the anticoagulation clinic from January 1st, 2020 to June 30th, 2022. Patients, 18 years or older with an indication for warfarin and attendance of at least 3 anticoagulation appointments were included. The Time in Therapeutic Range (TTR) was determined using the traditional method.  TTR differences across the two groups were reported using descriptive, bi-variate, and multivariate statistics. All statistical tests were conducted using SAS 9.0. Patient satisfaction was collected for 6 months using a survey created by the investigators. Survey consisted of 18 questions using a 3-point Likert scale. Survey was assessed using descriptive statistics.
Results: Thirty-seven patients met the inclusion criteria, 26 were in the pharmacist management group with 609 appointments, and 11 patients were in the physician management group with 123 appointments. There was no statistical significance for the time in the therapeutic range between the pharmacist-managed group (60.7%) and the physician-managed group (59.4%); p-value of <0.829. Results of the satisfaction survey suggest that patients slightly prefer management by a pharmacist over a physician.
Conclusion: Community-based pharmacist warfarin management of time in therapeutic range was equivalent to physician management and with similar patient satisfaction.

Background. Food allergy is a public health issue that has a significant impact on the lives of families. Parental self-efficacy/confidence is important in managing food allergies. The aim of this study is to validate the “Food Allergy Self-Efficacy Scale for Parents” (FASE-P) and assess parental self-efficacy in managing their child’s food allergy.
Methods. Turkish version of the FASE-P (T-FASE-P) was administered to 347 parents of children aged 0-18 who had been followed for at least one month due to food allergy at the Pediatric Allergy Clinic of Prof. Dr. Cemil Taşcıoğlu City Hospital between September 1 and December 31, 2023, through face-to-face interviews and online surveys for parents of children with food allergies from the general population. Content validity, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted to evaluate the validity of the scale. General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) was used for concurrent criterion validity. Internal consistency analysis, test-retest application, and item analysis were conducted to assess its reliability.
Results. T-FASE-P scale initially contained 21 items, and the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (α) calculated in this form was found to be 0.89. Later, when 4 items were excluded, the 17-item version of the scale was calculated as α=0.90. The intra-class correlation coefficient between the test and re-test was found to be 0.972. The content validity index value of the scale was calculated as 0.99, indicating that the content validity was at a sufficient level. In the EFA, it was determined that the scale formed a three-factor structural model and that this model explained 60.82% of the total variance. As a result of the CFA, the fit indices were calculated as χ2/df=2.341, GFI=0.919, TLI=0.950, indicating a good level of fit. Based on the analysis results, T-FASE-P consists of 17 items and three subscales.
Conclusion. T-FASE-P scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to determine the food allergy self-efficacy of Turkish parents.
Interpretation of pseudothrombocytopenia using platelet histograms and flags in a hematology autoanalyzer in a healthy child: a case report
Authors: Dönmez Emine , Kaya Zühre
Published: November 2024

Background. Pseudothrombocytopenia is a spurious thrombocytopenia caused mostly by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) use, and if detected early, unnecessary testing and treatment can be avoided. We present pseudothrombocytopenia caused by EDTA and citrate in an asymptomatic healthy child, as well as the value of using peripheral blood smear, platelet histogram, and flag data.
Case. A previously healthy 13-year-old girl with thrombocytopenia who developed tonsillitis 12 days previously was referred to our hematology department. Laboratory tests revealed severe thrombocytopenia (17x103/µL) in EDTA samples. A peripheral blood smear revealed numerous platelet clumping. We hypothesized EDTA-dependent pseudothrombocytopenia and ordered a platelet count by citrate tube. A citrate tube revealed thrombocytopenia with a platelet count of 55x103/µL. The platelet count (175x103/µL) returned to normal with heparin tubing. All blood samples had a similar platelet histogram and flags in the autoanalyzer. The platelet histogram indicated a serrated/sawtooth curve containing the largest platelet aggregates. Platelet flags alert messages about platelet clumping.
Conclusions. Peripheral blood smear is the most reliable test for pseudothrombocytopenia. If the physician has no experience with smear examination, both laboratory technician and physician should be aware of abnormal platelet histograms and platelet clumping messages in platelet flags, which indicate pseudothrombocytopenia.

Authors: Moralova Ludmila Victorovna , Abaeva Evgeniya Sergeevna
Published: November 2024

The article discusses the problem of interlinguistic and intercultural transfer of winged words (catch phrases) in an audiovisual text of the Soviet period. The source of the material is the Russian motion picture "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears" and its translation into English (subtitling), the material is 34 winged words (catch phrases) which were selected with verification based on Internet sources. The purpose of the research is to study the methods/techniques of transferring catch phrases in audiovisual translation (subtitling) from Russian into English, as well as to analyze the results obtained from the point of view of preserving the characteristics inherent in catch phrases and preserving the national cultural component. The main methods are the method of continuous sampling, the method of comparative analysis, the method of contextual analysis, etc. The direction of the translation (Russian-English translation) and the approach chosen by the authors indicate the novelty of the research. Having analyzed the translation of catch phrases, the authors made observations regarding the methods/techniques used which contributed to conveying meaning and complying with the norms of audiovisual translation, as well as to the conclusions that a partial loss of cultural information may occur during translation and that in a situation where a film subsequently becomes a precedent text, postediting may be required, as the conditions of how the text/part of the text functions in the linguoculture of the original language change. The results may be of interest to specialists in the field of audiovisual translation, as well as to philologists, linguists, and to ordinary readers who are interested in translation studies and/or cinematography.
Coordinated optimization and management of oxygen content and cathode pressure for PEMFC based on hybrid nonlinear robust control
Authors: Fang Shiyi , Feng Jianan , Zhu Yuxin , Chen Zehang , Fang Xiening , Chen Daifen , Fan Xinyu
Published: November 2024

Cathode inlet and exhaust management remains a significant challenge in Proton Exchange Fuel Cell (PEMFC). Achieving optimal oxygen content in real-time through precise control of the inlet gas is crucial for maintaining optimal output. Additionally, coordinating the air inlet and exhaust to ensure consistent cathode and anode pressures is essential for balancing the internal stack pressure and preventing nitrogen penetration, thereby enhancing PEMFC’s stability and lifespan. In this paper, a hybrid control strategy based on a fifth-order nonlinear mathematical model of the PEMFC cathode is proposed to address these challenges. The strategy combines two Non-singular Fast Terminal Sliding Mode Controllers (NFTSMC) to optimize the oxygen content and pressure control under dynamic load conditions. The NFTSMC avoids the potential singularity problem of terminal sliding mode control by optimizing sliding mode surfaces, while ensuring convergence in finite time. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method in coping with external disturbances and load variations faced by the PEMFC system, as well as dealing with the uncertainty of the PEMFC.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) based skin boosters used for treating fine lines and for enhancing the quality of skin are quite popular as they help by drawing water under the dermis (hydrofilling effect), helping in prolonged hydration of the skin. They are also considered safe due to the superficial plane of injection and low volumes injected. The patient came to the clinic for skin hydration and rejuvenation treatment. After detailed discussion and informed consent, a non-animal origin HA-based skin booster with a concentration of 20 mg/mL was chosen for facial rejuvenation. As per protocol, 2 mL of the product was injected by micropuncture technique with the automated click technology, delivering 0.01 mL per point in the mid dermis all over the cheeks, chin, and forehead. The patient tolerated the procedure well and presented to us 48 hours post-injection with persisting redness and pain on the central forehead. The redness appeared to be in a triangular pattern, with the apex at the left eyebrow and the base toward the hairline. Diagnosis of vascular compromise was made, and the patient was immediately treated with pulsed doses of hyaluronidase. The entire area healed without any sequelae. We hereby report a rare case of delayed vascular occlusion following skin booster treatment, which was successfully managed by hyaluronidase treatment. Skin boosters are the most sought after treatments for skin hydration and are generally considered safe; this is the first case report with delayed vascular occlusion reported following skin booster injections. Because of the high risk associated with glabella and forehead areas for fillers, one should be mindful in this area even with the skin boosters.

Automated chemistry platforms hold the potential to enable large-scale organic synthesis campaigns, such as producing a library of compounds for biological evaluation. The efficiency of such platforms will depend on the schedule according to which the synthesis operations are executed. In this work, we study the scheduling problem for chemical library synthesis, where operations from interdependent synthetic routes are scheduled to minimize the makespan—the total duration of the synthesis campaign. We formalize this problem as a flexible job-shop scheduling problem with chemistry-relevant constraints in the form of a mixed integer linear program (MILP), which we then solve in order to design an optimized schedule. The scheduler's ability to produce valid, optimal schedules is demonstrated by 720 simulated scheduling instances for realistically accessible chemical libraries. Reductions in makespan up to 73%, with an average reduction of 38%, are observed compared to the baseline scheduling approach.
Mechanism of DNA Chemical Denaturation
Authors: Ostrovsky Daniel , Ostrovsky Mikhail
Published: November 2024

We develop the theory of chemical denaturation of DNA for low and medium denaturation degrees, including but not limited to 50% denaturation as a reversible first-order reaction. We show the degree of influence of hydrogen bonding, dispersion, polar forces, proton donor/acceptor ratio, dipole induction, and the orientation parameter on the denaturation process of DNA. The absolute enthalpy values for DNA chemical denaturation are significantly lower than in the thermal denaturation process (positive). We show that the mechanism of reaching 50% DNA denaturation thermally and chemically differs. The thermal denaturation process mainly involves breaking hydrogen bonds via heating DNA, while the chemical denaturation process involves replacing DNA hydrogen bonding with denaturants. We also show that hydrogen bonding is the most significant part of the enthalpy of chemical denaturation for T4 bacteriophage DNA, and the proton-donor effect is the dominant mechanism in disrupting hydrogen bonds in DNA denaturation. The influence of this effect is two times larger than the influence of the proton-acceptor effect. Another essential factor for DNA denaturation is the orientational component, part of the polar cohesion parameter. We demonstrate that theoretical and prior experimental results show that the Hildebrand, Hansen, Karger, Snyder, and Eon equations are applicable and instrumental in studying DNA chemical denaturation. We developed a novel method to reveal and estimate the degree of influence of different attraction forces in DNA during its chemical denaturation. Our method can be suitable for selecting DNA (or other systems with controllable denaturation) targeted for specific applications.

Published: November 2024

The term ldquoCommando Surgeryrdquo evokes mental images of military battles and heroic soldiers. In its best light commando surgery can be considered a heroic surgery and that the surgeon is waging a great battle with the evil of cancer. Treatment of cancer involving the retromolar trigone is controversial. While early lesions may be managed with single modality more advanced lesions may invade the mandible pterygoid musculature and the adjacent mucosa of the tonsillar pillar and soft palate therefore making therapeutic decisions more difficult. We hereby present a case report of a squamous cell carcinoma involving the right retromolar trigone which was addressed by commando operation involving wide excision of the lesion hemimandibulectomy radical neck dissection amp reconstruction with pectoralis major myocutaneous flap with the review of literature
