Authors: CHUBARYAN Astghik , DANIELYAN Hayk
Published: July 2022

The aim of the present paper is to analyze the pragmatic theories of irony and sarcasm, namely, the Cooperative Principle, the Standard Pragmatic Model, the Echoic Mention Theory, the Pretense Theory, and the Echoic Reminder Theory to demonstrate the pragmatic understanding of sarcasm in theoretical studies, and to develop a relevant model for sarcasm interpretation applicable in various contexts. The introduced features of the presented models allow us to highlight some challenging aspects of the pragmatic insights of sarcasm. Several examples from academic studies, fiction, TV series, and TedTalk videos are analyzed to examine the suggested frameworks in terms of pragmatic comprehension of sarcastic language and single out a combined model of sarcasm analysis to assist further practical research.

Fault simulation of medium voltage squirrel cage induction motors
Authors: Marot Alfredo
Published: July 2022

The main objective of this paper is to model failures of squirrel cage rotor induction motors, it presents the equations that model the machine variables, and we simulate an induction motor in the Matlab-Simulink software, to know and evaluate the effects of the stator windings when the motor experiences failure to function as a short circuit between spirals that there are many diagnostic methodologies for each class of failure. The most widely used technique is analyzing the frequency spectrum of one or several motor signals. A fault in the motor represents an asymmetry concerning its construction; consequently, harmonic components appear in the electrical signals that are related to the present fault, and the spectral analysis of motor current signatures applying the fast Fourier transform (FFT) to the current since these contain relevant information that is distinguished in a spectrum of frequencies.

Authors: Resky Ninik Dwi , Arifin Mimi , Wunas Shirly
Published: July 2022

A pandemic is one of many types of disasters that must be considered in emergency response planning. Currently the Covid-19 pandemic is sweeping the world, including Indonesia, so there is increasing concern about urban settlements that have high density and vulnerability to Covid-19 because housing is one of the important factors during the pandemic. Based on this, it is deemed necessary to conduct a study on a sustainable urban settlement model that is resilient to pandemics so that it can facilitate and overcome pandemic cases that have or will occur. Resilient housing is a residential area or residence inhabited by people who are ready to face any threat, including Covid-19. The research location is a residential real estate located in the city of Makassar. The research method used is multiple regression, t test and f test. As a result, the most influential factor on the security of housing residents during the pandemic is supervision, while the most influential factor in increasing the transmission of Covid-19 is the vulnerability of socio-economic mix, both of which are the most dominant variables in increasing housing resilience to the pandemic. There are various control strategies with a pandemic resilient sustainable housing model, namely increasing supervision, limiting socio-economic mixing, principles of resilience and sustainability.

A middle-aged woman with recurrent diarrhoea since years

The case of a 49-year-old woman with abdominal discomfort since years, presenting with bloody diarrhoea and the recent development of joint pain and petechiae, is described. Laboratory analysis showed slightly elevated inflammatory parameters, as well as an elevated IgA level. Urinalysis showed microscopic haematuria and a significant proteinuria of 2.61 g/L, suspecting a glomerular pathology. The further investigation with autoimmune serology and protein electrophoresis was negative. A colonoscopy and kidney biopsy were performed. The colonoscopy demonstrated vasculitis at the terminal ileum. On the kidney biopsy, immunofluorescence showed IgA deposition in the mesangium, endocapillary injury and crescent formation, proving the diagnosis of IgA vasculitis complicated with renal involvement.

IgA vasculitis, also known as Henoch-Schönlein purpura, is a systemic leukocytoclastic vasculitis affecting the small blood vessels. It is a typical childhood disease; almost 90% of the patients are children. The pathogenesis of the disease remains mainly unknown. The IgA level is raised, probably provoked by the presentation of an antigen to the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue. Renal damage in adults is more frequent and severe, and therefore connected to morbidity.

Authors: Assey Ernest S , Babyegeya Emmanuel
Published: July 2022

Purpose: This study focused on the challenges facing effective teaching, learning and assessment in community-based secondary schools in the Tabora region.                                       

Methodology: This study employed a mixed method approach in line with a sequential explanatory research design. The study employed simple random sampling procedures to enlisted 219 people from various educational backgrounds. Questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were used to gather information.

Results: The study findings revealed that, poor teaching and learning environments, a problem with the medium of instructions, poor parental engagement in children's education, teacher shortages, poor managerial skills among school leaders and lack of in-service training among teachers are the main factors that hinder effective teaching, learning and assessment in community-based secondary schools in Tabora region in Tanzania.

Unique contribution to practice, theory and strategy: This study contributes to a better understanding of the challenges to effective teaching, learning and assessment in Tanzania's Tabora region's community-based secondary schools. The findings are comparable with "Curriculum theory," which emphasised that an effective curriculum implementation cannot take place in a setting where there is a lack of a supportive environment, where significant school stakeholders do not collaborate in planning for teaching and assessment, where there is a fairly poor teaching and learning environment, where there are not enough human resources, and where the language of instruction is inappropriate.

Recommendation: The local authority that oversees schools should hire more teachers, upgrade the facilities for teaching and learning, fully involve parents in decision-making, improve in-service teacher training, and require school administrators to regularly attend training on pedagogical leadership in order to implement effective teaching, learning and assessment in schools.

Published: July 2022

Introduction

The accuracy of detecting myocardial infarction (MI) has greatly improved with the advent of more sensitive assays, and this has led to etiologic subtyping. Distinguishing between type 1 and type 2 non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) early in the clinical course allows for the most appropriate advanced diagnostic procedures and most efficacious treatments. The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive effect of demographic and clinical variables on predicting NSTEMI subtypes in patients presenting with ischemic symptoms.

Material and methods

We performed a single institution retrospective cohort study of patients who presented to the emergency department (ED) with ischemic signs and symptoms consistent with non-ST-segment myocardial infarction, for whom results of coronary angiography were available. We analyzed demographic, laboratory, echocardiography and angiography data to determine predictors of NSTEMI sub-types.

Results

Five hundred and forty-six patients were enrolled; 426 patients were found on coronary angiography to have type 1 acute MI (T1AMI), whereas 120 patients had type 2 acute MI (T2AMI). Age (OR per year = 1.03 (1.00, 1.05), p = 0.03), prior MI (OR = 3.50 (1.68, 7.22), p = 0.001), L/H > 2.0 (OR = 1.55 (1.12, 2.13), p = 0.007), percentage change in troponin I > 25% (OR = 2.54 (1.38, 4.69), p = 0.003), and regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) (OR = 3.53 (1.46, 8.54), p = 0.004) were independent predictors of T1AMI, whereas sex, race, body mass index, hypertension, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), heart failure, family history (FH) of coronary artery disease (CAD), HbA1c, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were not.

Conclusions

Key clinical variables such as age, prior MI, L/H ratio, percentage change in troponin I, and presence of RWMA on echocardiogram may be utilized as significant predictors of T1AMI in patients presenting with ischemic symptoms to the ED.

Introdução: A obesidade é uma doença crônica e incapacitante de causa multifatorial, com um aumento rápido e gradativo, sendo considerado um problema de saúde pública no mundo todo, alterando significativamente a qualidade de vida de seus portadores e estando associada diretamente a uma alta taxa de morbiletalidade. Nesse contexto, o uso do balão intragástrico acaba sendo uma das opções de métodos utilizada para o tratamento da obesidade. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar a implementação do balão intragástrico como o ponto de partida da terapia bariátrica endoscópica. Metodologia: Para a confecção desse trabalho, realizou-se uma investigação integrativa nos idexadores eletrônicos PubMed, Scielo, MEDLINE e Google Scholar. A partir disso, pode-se construir uma revisão bibliográfica a respeito da utilização do balão intragástrico no tratamento da obesidade. Resultados: O balão intragástrico (BIG) tem sido considerado uma opção em pacientes obesos que possuem resistência ao tratamento clínico e à cirurgia bariátrica. Dados epidemiológicos mostram que pacientes submetidos ao BIG, quando acompanhados por uma equipe multidisciplinar capacitada para o manejo destes pacientes, acabam obtendo melhores resultados, sendo essencial o acompanhamento por médicos, nutricionistas, psicólogos e fisioterapeutas, que, quando trabalhando em conjunto, traçando metas e objetivos, contribuem para melhores resultados. Conclusão: O uso do balão intragástrico quando associado a uma equipe multidisciplinar, modificações nos hábitos alimentares e exercício físico adequado, pode se considerar uma opção terapêutica segura e eficaz para o tratamento da obesidade.

The influence of outsourcing the core deliverables on the business performance at Eskom Distribution South Africa
Authors:   , Magagula Marcia
Published: July 2022

The execution of maintenance and repairs are the core business deliverables of the Power Plant Maintenance (PPM) department at Eskom Distribution South Africa (SA). However, external service providers are employed to similarly execute these deliverables. Given this background, this study aimed to determine the influence of outsourcing core deliverables on the performance of the PPM department at Eskom SA. This quantitative study sought to determine the prevalence of any statistically significant differences in the degree of respondents’ responses regarding outsourcing the core business deliverables of their respective PPM departments in terms of profile factors such as gender, marital status, age, education qualification, designation and length of service. The study was carried out in eight out of nine PPM departments. A total of 135 responses were attained from a possible 152 participants, providing a response rate of 89 percent. The study was successful in the achievement of all the objectives. The results of the chi-square and regression tests revealed the presence of significant factors contributing to the outsourcing of core business deliverables, accomplishing the first objective. The results of the chi-square and correlation tests revealed that outsourcing did effect business performance, though this was not generally an enhancing effect, accomplishing the second objective. Results of the chi-square tests also highlighted significant effects on the motivation of internal employees when the repairs and maintenance of the power plant equipment are outsourced, accomplishing the third objective. The results of the correlation and chi-square also highlighted the effect of managing the core business deliverables on the business performance, the motivation of internal employees, as well as the alleviation of significant risks resulting from outsourcing core deliverables. The coefficient of determination (R-squared) revealed only 33 percent of the variations in the dependent variable that were explained by the independent variables. Finally, there was an indication of statistically acceptable reliability for the variables of the study.
A contextual and transdisciplinary analysis of pedagogic, operational and administrative frameworks of a Writing Centre : the case of the Durban University of Technology (DUT) Writing Centre (WrC)
Authors:   , Manjeya Nicolle Chido
Published: July 2022

Different pedagogies, and writing styles have not only over the years transformed the face of academia, but have played a pivotal role in shaping diverse curricula and contributing to their development. In pursuit of attaining suitable models that have administrative and operational frameworks that address the ever-growing myriad multicultural world we live in today; different models and facilities have been developed to keep up with the development of academic literacies. The overall aim of this research was to investigate a model Writing Centre (WrC) and how its pedagogic, operational and administrative framework contributes to the growth of curricular in an institution of higher education. The study examined the power relations of the tutor and tutee relationship, as explained by the critical discourse analysis and how it adopts the customer contact theory to focus on the intangible assets of the student. The researcher used mixed methods analysis to be able to understand perceptions, views, expectations and experiences by students to explore the different ontologies and epistemologies associated with curriculum development. Finally, the research concluded that a positive contribution to growth for teaching is defined by the pedagogic, operational and administrative framework of a given WrC. It is however, imperative to note that the model can move away from what ought to be but still work, as the phenomenon of a WrC is informed by the institution in which it is birthed. Thus, the findings of this study are not disconfirmed by previous theories and research on similar efforts, but rather add to the already existent knowledge base on writing centres.
The use of small, medium and micro-enterprises as a strategic tool for women socio-economic empowerment in the northern rural KwaZulu-Natal
Authors:   , Nhleko Mary-Ann Nokulunga
Published: July 2022

Positive women entrepreneurial support can change the entrepreneurial spirit, attitude and perceptions among the women communities with specific references to rural women in the northern region of KwaZulu-Natal province. A lot of previous research survey about how SMMEs can improve women’s socio-economic challenges did not properly include those women living in the rural places such as KwaZulu-Natal. This study aims to analyse the use of SMMEs as a strategic tool for women’s socio-economic empowerment in rural northern KwaZulu-Natal. The study was conducted within the rural areas of northern KwaZulu-Natal using qualitative method. The sample for the study consisted of 250 respondents of rural women SMMEs. The respondents were selected using quota sampling. Respondents were asked to complete 2 page questionnaires with an interviewer present to assist. The data analysis was done by using SPSS version 24.0. The results were presented through tables and bar graphs. The main aim of the study was to investigate and describe the use of SMMEs as a strategic tool, to identify factors influencing the use and to examine to what extent they affect the use of SMMEs as a strategic tool for women empowerment. The findings of the study reveals that rural women SMMEs are mostly affected by external factors while on the other hand they also indicated that lack of proper training and entrepreneurial education have impact on the day- to -day running of their businesses. The study was limited by the exploratory nature and small sampling size. Therefore, generalisation of the findings should be done with care and further research is encouraged and should include other places in the area.

Abstract. The alpine grassland ecosystem accounts for 53 % of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) area, which is an important ecological protection barrier, but fragile and highly vulnerable to climate change. Therefore, continuous monitoring of the aboveground biomass (AGB) of grassland is necessary. Although many studies have mapped the spatial distribution of AGB over the QTP, the results vary widely due to the limited ground samples and mismatches with satellite pixel scales. This paper proposed a new algorithm using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as a bridge to re-estimate the grassland AGB over the QTP from 2000 to 2019. The innovations were as follows: 1) In the aspect of ground data collection, the spatial scale matching among the traditional ground quadrat sampling, UAV photos, and MODIS pixels was fully considered. From 2015 to 2019, 906 pairs of ground-UAV sample data at the quadrat scale and 2,602 sets of UAV data matching the MODIS pixel scale were collected. A total of more than 37,000 UAV photos were captured at the height of 20 meters. Therefore, the ground validation samples was sufficient and scale matched. 2) In terms of model construction, the traditional quadrat scale (0.25 m2) was successfully upscaled to the MODIS pixel scale (6,2500 m2) based on the random forest method and stepwise upscaling scheme. Compared with previous studies, the scale matching of independent and dependent variables was realized, effectively reducing the impact of scale mismatch. At the pixel scale, the AGB value estimated by UAV had a more linear correlation with the MODIS vegetation indices than the traditional sampling method. The multi-year independent cross-validation results showed that the constructed pixel scale AGB estimation had good robustness, with an average R2 of 0.83 and RMSE of 34.13 g/m2. Our dataset provides an important input parameter for a comprehensive understanding of the QTP in the process of global climate change. The dataset is available from the National Tibetan Plateau/Third Pole Environment Data Center (https://doi.org/10.11888/Terre.tpdc.272587, Zhang et al., 2022).
