Authors: Yardley Lucy , Denford Sarah , Kamal Atiya , May Tom , Kesten Jo , French Clare , Weston Dale , Rubin James , Horwood Jeremy , Hickman Matthew , Amlôt Richard , Oliver Isabel
Published: October 2022

A lesson identified from the COVID-19 pandemic is that we need to extend existing best practice for intervention development by establishing better methods of rapidly coproducing public health interventions and messaging to support all population groups to protect themselves and their communities, together with better methods of rapidly evaluating interventions to determine which are acceptable and effective. This paper describes the Agile Co-production and Evaluation (ACE) framework, which is intended to provide a focus for investigating new ways of rapidly developing effective interventions and messaging by combining co-production methods with large-scale testing and/or real-world evaluation. We briefly review some of the participatory, qualitative and quantitative methods that could potentially be combined and propose a research agenda to further develop, refine and validate packages of methods in a variety of public health contexts to determine which combinations are feasible, cost-effective and achieve the goal of improving health and reducing health inequalities.
The Impact of Education on Language Use in the Algerian Context
Authors: AMMOUR Naima , BELMEKKI Amine
Published: October 2022

This research paper attempts to examine the impact of education on language use, i.e., highlighting the sociolinguistic variable, mainly that of education and age, and how it may affect the linguistic behavior in the Arabic Nedroma speech community as a sample population. Nedromi speakers, especially the new generation, tend to correct mistakes; they look at them as stigmatized features in their speech and thus, try to shift to Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). In this regard, the researcher attemps to determine the reasons behind such a change in linguistic behaviors essentially motivated by the influence of education. Methodological triangulation was used in this study. Data were collected through observation, questionnaire, and interview. Based on both quantitative and qualitative methods, the findings reveal that the choice of specific linguistic features by the individual is determined by the speaker’s age category, his level of education, and most importantly, his attitude towards specific linguistic characteristics.
The formula to compute country-wise Human Development Index by the UNDP is illogical
Authors: Rao Arni
Published: October 2022

Mathematically the geometric rule of computing the human development index by the UNDP launched in 1990 could be valid. However, the three components of the index and its expanded versions like Oxfam's Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) stand illogical as long as the wealth of the nations looted and lost during the colonial era is not adjusted in such indices. A measurement of the current human development and measurement of poverty without any standardizing the wealth lost by the countries or regions that were otherwise historically not poor need to be standardized and adjusted by the UNDP.
Green hydrogen regions: emergent spatial imaginaries and material politics of energy transition
Authors: Hine Amelia , Gibson Chris , Carr Chantel
Published: October 2022

This paper analyses the discursive and material politics of energy transition, focusing on promotion of Australian industrial regions as ‘green hydrogen hubs’. Regions are key spatial imaginaries in transition projects promoted by state- capitalist coalitions. First-to-market investments target regions with suitable infrastructures and workforces, anticipating future decarbonised energy markets. Yet, far from an orderly transition, such projects confront competing regional imaginaries and conflicts across governance scales, with hydrogen’s troublesome material limitations precipitating hedging tactics among established energy-intensive firms. Scholars of decarbonisation, ‘green capitalism’ and energy transitions must pay closer attention to materiality and the complexity of regional contestations and asymmetries.
Improving Language Assessment Literacy for In-Service Saudi EFL Teachers
Authors: Salami Faten , Alharthi Rasha Mastour
Published: October 2022

A teacher’s ability to create and implement high-quality assessments is a key component of assessment literacy. Therefore, improving teachers’ language assessment literacy (LAL) is one of the most important factors in assuring the quality of language testing and assessment (LTA). Thus, this study aimed to investigate the perceived level of LAL among Saudi in-service English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers. Additionally, it aimed to identify the aspects of LAL that in-service EFL teachers wish to improve through further professional assessment training. Two research questions were formulated to achieve the study aims; a) what is the perceived level of LAL among Saudi in-service EFL teachers? b) What aspects of LAL do in-service EFL teachers wish to improve through further professional training? A questionnaire was administered to collect the data. Fifty EFL female instructors at King Abdulaziz University responded to the online questionnaire. To analyze the data, SPSS software was used. Regarding teachers’ perceived level of LAL, the results indicated that Saudi EFL teachers lack a well-developed knowledge of assessment literacy. The findings showed that the majority of the teachers received either no training or basic training in LAL. In regard to teachers’ training needs, the findings highligted that there is a need for training in nearly all the aspects of LAL, with priority being given to different content areas of LTA. Finally, the study recommended providing Saudi EFL teachers with sufficient professional language assessment training.
The Impact of Teaching Approaches on Students’ English Language Learning in Higher Education: A Case Study of a Saudi University
Authors: Althubaiti Haitham A. , Alqurashi Hassan S.
Published: October 2022

This study investigates the effect of teaching approaches on students’ English language learning at King Abdulaziz University (KAU). Moreover, it is an endeavor to know the difference between students’ interaction with the teaching approaches used by Non-Native English Speaking (NNES) lecturers and those used by Native English Speaking (NES) lecturers. A documentary review, observations, and semi-structured interviews with lecturers and students served as the data sources of this study, as per the qualitative case study approach. The interactions with students and teaching approaches of the lecturers varied in accordance with their native tongue— NNES lecturers and NES lecturers. The findings have revealed that the level of students’ interaction was less during the lectures delivered by NNES lecturers due to the adoption of a teacher-centered approach. Significantly, the level of students’ interaction was high during the lectures delivered NES lecturers. This is due to the fact that NES lecturers adopted a learner-centered approach.
Exploring the Effect of Instructional Scaffolding on Foundation Level Students’ Writing at the City University College of Ajman: A Case Study
Authors: Tabib Faiza Mohamed
Published: October 2022

The present research is a small-scale case study with a 15-week intervention aiming to identify lower intermediate language learners’ major writing challenges and explore the effect of instructional scaffolding on their writing skills and abilities. Scaffolding is central to the broader theories of constructivism and Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory. Nine Foundation Level students enrolled in an Intensive English Program at the City University College of Ajman, United Arab Emirates, participated in this study. This study is observational, descriptive, and interpretive. The researcher used three qualitative and quantitative data collection instruments: pre-and post-writing tests, a focus-group interview, and a student attitude questionnaire to triangulate and gain reliable, valid data. The findings revealed some major writing issues, including paucity of ideas, lack of grammatical and lexical knowledge, proper organization, and problems with spelling and punctuation. However, the pre-posttest results indicated improved students’ writing skills and abilities, mainly in task completion, paragraph organization, lexical range, and writing fluency. The study also finds that students need more time and practice to produce accurate and error-free essays. Accordingly, the researcher recommends engaging students in research-based strategies and activities in all writing phases to raise their awareness of grammatical and lexical mistakes, increase their learning and reflection, and boost their confidence.
Targeted Advertising and Consumer Protection Law in the European Union
Authors: Zard Lex , Sears Alan M.
Published: October 2022

Targeted advertising is the primary revenue stream for the largest online platforms that act as the Internet’s gatekeepers, such as Alphabet and Meta. The financial incentives drive targeted advertising towards maximizing the efficiency of algorithmically matching advertisements with consumers, which typically requires building fine-grained profiles that rely on consumers’ personal data. In the European Union, the protection of personal data is a fundamental right operationalized by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), establishing the limits of targeted advertising to the extent that it relies on the processing of personal data. Nevertheless, as online interface design and fine-grained personalization allow platforms and other publishers new ways to influence consumers, targeted advertising is also associated with the potential for consumer manipulation.While the consumer protection framework in the EU is the primary field that protects consumers from manipulation, it has received little attention in academia in the context of targeted advertising when compared with the GDPR. In 2022, the EU adopted proposals for the Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which contain consumer protection rules that directly limit targeted advertising. These developments of consumer protection law may fundamentally transform the Internet, as its gatekeepers are now faced with a new legal regime that regulates their primary source of revenue. This article provides an overview of the myriad of legislation that comprises the EU consumer protection framework—including how it intersects with the data protection framework—and analyzes how and the extent to which it coalesces to limit targeted advertising.
The Effect of the Length of L2 Education and L2 Exposure on Apologies Produced by Saudi Females
Authors: Qari Israa A
Published: October 2022

This study investigates the effect of the length of language education and Language exposure on English apologies as produced by female Saudi learners. Second language research studies stress that learning a second language from a younger age often results in a higher level of language proficiency. Nevertheless, factors such as language exposure outside of the classroom setting can have a significant effect on the learners’ fluency and competence. This paper investigates the relationship between these two concepts, focusing on the speech act of apology. The current study will attempt to answer the following research question: In terms of L2 apologies, which factor seems to help the learners achieve better and more accurate results: longer periods of formal EFL classroom education or longer periods of EFL exposure outside of the classroom? In this research, forty-eight Saudi female participants responded to an online questionnaire which was the main data collection method in this study, along with interviews. The respondents were divided into four groups: group one was introduced to English at age three; group two learned English at age six; group three learned English at age twelve, and group four started learning English at the university level. It seems fitting to suggest that the respective four groups systematically represent the following linguistic proficiency levels (advanced, upper-intermediate, lower-intermediate, and beginner). The results concluded that there was a positive correlation between the years of language education and the application of apologies, in that the earlier a participant started learning English as a second language, the more appropriate her apologies were linguistically and pragmatically. However, a few exceptional cases were found where group one used apologies at the beginner level. Alternatively, group four displayed advanced competencies in employing apologies, despite their shorter years of formal English classroom education.
How Students on College Campuses Created Opportunities for Workers in Sweatshops: A Multi-Institutional, Interlocking Approach to Political Opportunity Structure
Authors: Williams Matthew
Published: October 2022

Political opportunity structure (POS) refers to how the larger social context, such as repression, shapes a social movement’s chances of success. Most work on POS looks at how movements deal with the political opportunities enabling and/or constraining them. This article looks at how one group of social movement actors operating in a more open POS alters the POS for a different group of actors in a more repressive environment through a chain of indirect leverage—how United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) uses the more open POS on college campuses to create new opportunities for workers in sweatshop factories. USAS exerts direct leverage over college administrators through protests, pushing them to exert leverage over major apparel companies through the licensing agreements schools have with these companies.
Seriously accounting for local categories: Gendered sexual orientation among “men who have sex with men” in Côte d’Ivoire
Authors: Broqua Christophe , Larmarange Joseph
Published: October 2022

In most African countries, a significant proportion of “men who have sex with men” (MSM) are divided according to a spectrum of sex-role stereotypes, with some identifying themselves as more feminine and others as more masculine. These gendered roles correspond to local categories and specific terms that are rarely considered by quantitative surveys. In a telephone-based survey conducted in 2018 and 2019 among 518 MSM in Côte d’Ivoire that included several questions on sexual orientation and gender identities, we seriously accounted for local categories by investigating what we call “gendered sexual orientation” within the local identities of woubi and yossi.According to their official definitions, woubis are often associated with a female gender role and a receptive sexual role, and yossis are typically associated with a male gender role and an insertive sexual role. However, two additional categories emerged in our study: those self-identifying as both woubi and yossi and those who identify as neither woubi nor yossi. However, the woubi/yossi distinction is far from clear-cut in Côte d’Ivoire because of a particular and persistent avoidance of effeminate behaviors among individuals and their partners. Overall, this study underscores how local categories of gendered sexual orientation blend with global categories to form a syncretic and plural whole.
Typos, Misspellings and Other Accidents: Metadata Accuracy as a Measure of Publisher Quality
Authors: Siler Kyle , larivière vincent
Published: October 2022

Appraising the quality and legitimacy of academic journals and publishers is often challenging for academic stakeholders. Debates over defining “predatory publishing” continue to be heated, especially since the academic status and legitimacy of publishers and scholars are being contested. Our research proffers metadata accuracy as an empirical measure of quality (or lack thereof) of academic journals and publishers. Using a dataset of 1,301,898 articles from 2,305 journals published by ten relatively new Open Access publishers, we identify 1,684 articles with metadata typos. Typos provide unique, candid insight into quality control processes of journals and publishers. In some cases, typos provide clues suggesting how and why mistakes occur, while also revealing quality control failures that underpin published typos. Some publishers exhibited much higher propensities for typos than others, revealing institutional and quality differences between publishers. Articles with authors from less-wealthy and scientifically peripheral countries were also more prone to typos. Metadata quality is an axis of inequality in modern science, since less-wealthy, more peripheral scholars are less likely to enjoy the scholarly and professional benefits of accurate metadata. Textual analysis of metadata can provide evidence to better inform normative and professional appraisals of journal quality, value and legitimacy.

Published: October 2022

As evidenced by recent studies in the fields of positive psychology and psycholinguistics, learners’ emotions and thoughts while learning a second language are believed to generate sophisticated and dynamic linkages that contribute to their motivational as well as linguistic outcomes. This study aims to evaluate foreign language gaiety (FLG) and foreign language apprehension (FLA) as determinants of the ideal second language (L2) self for Saudi EFL learners. The basic research question that this study attempts to answer is: “What is the impact of EL elation and apprehension on PSAU learners’ ideal L2 self?” An online survey incorporating the three scales in question was completed by 116 EFL male and female students at Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University (PSAU) in the College of Science and Humanities (CSH). To examine the reliability of this research study, the Cronbach Alpha value of ≥ 0.70 is regarded as reliable and acceptable. The study results showed a strong positive correlation between the PSAU EFL learners’ EF Gaiety and their ideal L2 self. Further, there was a strong negative correlation between the PSAU EFL learners’ FL Apprehension and their ideal L2 self. The study concluded that PSAU EFL learners do not enjoy studying English as a foreign language. Their ideal L2 self is tremendously affected by the high rates of apprehension and the low degrees of EF gaiety.
The Essential Role of Scientific Exegesis in Qurʾan Translation: The Case of Mistranslating the Arabic Word Kawkab
Authors: Atta Hussein
Published: October 2022

The Qurʾan contains numerous scientifically-sensitive terms that pose considerable challenge to the translation activity. Accurate and coherent translation has an indispensable role in conveying the correct message of the Qurʾan to the non-Arab readers. Consistent mistranslation of the word ‘kawkab’ to star, instead of planet, in the earliest Western translations of the Quran had permeated English translations up to the present time. Mistranslation of the word ‘kawkab’ to star introduces intertextual and intratextual incoherence and dissonance within the related verses and with established scientific facts, causes confusion, and sows distrust and doubt about the integrity of the Qurʾan itself particularly for the non-Arab scientifically-minded readers. Future translators of the Qurʾan should adopt a model that comprises collective efforts of groups of scholars from different disciplines including natural sciences in their endeavors for translation of the Qurʾan.

Authors: K Saraswathy , C Susila , A Merlin , D Sasikala
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Obstetrical emergencies are unanticipated and occur infrequently but has potential life-threatening complications if not managed on time. Methodology: Qualitative study was conducted among health professionals with the aim to analyze need for training of Midwifery students in obstetrical emergency. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 25 participants and the data was collected through Google forms on Background variables and open-ended questions on obstetrical emergencies. Results: The findings of the study revealed that training is needed in Obstetrical emergencies such as Eclampsia and antepartum haemorrhage (60%), cord prolapse (52%), prolonged/obstructed labour (44%) and Postpartum haemorrhage (100%). About 68% of the participants preferred simulation training as an effective method of teaching and learning obstetrical emergencies. The data were analyzed by conventional content analysis approach. Two main themes were framed like “staff preparedness” and “Organizational factors” with eight sub themes as follows hands on training, Poor exposure to critical condition, situational chaos, clinical emotional dexterity, Decision to care time, lack of assistance, facilities, communication, and leadership. Conclusion: Skill training is essential for midwives in managing obstetrical emergencies like eclampsia, antepartum haemorrhage, cord prolapse, prolonged labour and PPH and simulation-based learning is an ideal method for acquiring these vital skills and knowledge.
ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC PROVISION OF FISCAL REGULATION OF AGRICULTURAL LAND USE
Authors: Tarnavskyi Viacheslav
Published: October 2022

Agricultural land use and land management is traditionally one of the most developed branches of the economy of Ukraine, which uses natural resources - land, as a means of production, to obtain agricultural products. This branch of the economy not only provides domestic needs for high-quality, affordable food, but also plays a major role in solving the global food crisis by exporting agricultural products to many countries around the world. Thus, the regulation of world food prices is ensured, performing a humanitarian function in the world economy, counteracting the trends of food shortages and the threat of famine. The article examines the economic efficiency of agricultural land use in Ukraine and border regions. In particular, a retrospective analysis of the main indicators of the agricultural sector of Ukraine and Zhytomyr, Kyiv and Chernihiv regions was performed. The trend processes observed in the agricultural land use of these regions and the country as a whole are outlined. The article highlights the degree of ruination of the territory of Ukraine, compared with the most developed countries in the world. The degree of poverty and the percentage value of agricultural land in the regions of Ukraine were analyzed. A set of measures is proposed to reduce the extensive use of land resources in order to preserve their quality indicators of fertility and ensure the sustainable development of the economy of Ukraine.

Abstract. The occurrence of an emergency situation (ES) forced international (ISN, EDTA/ERA) and national (Turkey) nephrological associations to establish the Renal Disaster Relief Task Force, which is primarily concerned with the treatment of patients with acute kidney injury and end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis. The war started by the RF is putting the Ukrainian state, Ukrainian society, and the healthcare system in the catastrophic ES. Under these circumstances, all nephrological patients became one of the most vulnerable categories of patients.

To provide immediate support in solving problems within the Ukrainian Association of Nephrologists and Kidney Transplant Specialists (UAN&KTS), the Ukrainian Renal Disaster Relief Committee (URDRC) has been established. One of the most important tasks was to form a group of experts to develop recommendations for specialized medical care for kidney patients in wartime.

 According to the experts, the key person for this type of medical care is the leading nephrologist in the region or city. He/she establishes a local Renal Disaster Relief Committee (LRDRC) and decides through horizontal (with other LRDRC) or vertical (with UAN &KTS) collaboration, using available communication tools, on the problems that arise; the most appropriate tool is the Viber platform "Nephrology. Dialysis. Transplantation". In this way, a network without administrative subordination and a non-hierarchical functional system was created, which, on the one hand, functions according to similar working principles, but, on the other hand, may differ in terms of LRDRC composition, communication methods, and more.

The LRDRC divides all patients into three groups and provides work preparation measures before, during and after the cancellation of ES.
Morphological pattern of kidneys in rats with infravesical urinary obstruction following administration of biologically active compositions containing neurotrophic factors

Published: October 2022

Abstract. The research aimed to study the morphological characteristics of kidneys after intraperitoneal administration of biologically active compositions (BACs) in rats with infravesical obstruction (IVO).

Methods. IVO was reproduced by surgical ligation. BACs were injected intraperitoneally for 10 days. The morphometric parameters of the kidneys were determined by examining their structure (the areas of renal corpuscle, glomerulus, the cavity of the glomerular capsule, outer and inner diameters of the tubules, the tubular index, the outer diameter and area of the vascular lumen). The experimental animals were divided into the following groups: Group 1 was saved as an intact control group, Group 2 received “Cortexin”, Group 3 was given CMCNMG, Group 4 received BCM, and Group 5 was not treated (U).

Results. BACs obtained from a culture of native mantle gliocytes (MG) and BCM were involved in the remodeling of the kidneys’ structure being changed during IVO. The renal corpuscle area was found to be increased in groups 2, 4, and 5 by 42.3%, 193.9%, and 72.3%, respectively, compared with the control group. At the same time, the extent of renal corpuscle hypertrophy in group 3 was minimal and approached the control values. The glomerulus area expanded by 35.4%, 181.1%, and 34% in animals of groups 3, 4, and 5, respectively, compared with the control group. However, the difference in the index between group 5 and BAC-treated animals was not significant, except for group 4. The Bowman's capsule area increased by 117.6%, 235.8%, and 186%, in groups 2, 4 and 5, respectively, compared with the control group. Interestingly, the values in groups 1 and 3 were in agreement but differed from group 5. The lowest values of outer and inner diameters of renal tubules were determined in group 3, which were close to those in the control group but significantly different from those of other groups. An increased tubular index (by 1.35 and 1.4 times) was revealed in groups 3 and 4, compared with other groups. The lowest values were found in groups 2 and 5. The maximum values of the average diameter and area of the vessel lumen were determined in groups 3 and 4, and the minimum values were obtained in group 5. It is noteworthy that the indices of these groups were significantly different from those of group 5.

Conclusions. The research results suggest that the phenomena of glomerulosclerosis, tubular atrophy, and renal interstitial fibrosis in rats can be alleviated, as well as the morphological structure of rat kidneys can be partially restored against the background of IVO after administration of CMCNMG and, to a lesser extent, BCM due to the multidirectional action of neurotrophic factors.
Vasopressin marker copeptin and the development of renal and metabolic disorders in patients with type 2 diabetes
Authors: Nesen A. , Savicheva K. , Semenovykh P. , Galchiskaya V.
Published: October 2022

Abstract. The aim of the study was to evaluate the possibility of using copeptin as a marker of renal and metabolic dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: In this cross-sectional, observational study included 78 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by diabetic nephropathy (DN) were examined. Patients were divided into 4 groups according to the stage of chronic kidney disease. Control group - 15 healthy subjects. Serum levels of copeptin and insulin were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Results: our studies have shown that the development of DN in type 2 diabetes is accompanied by a significant increase of copeptin concentration in blood plasma compared with controls and with diabetic patients without signs of nephropathy. The highest values of copeptin were found in the later stages of DN - in patients with albuminuria and impaired kidney filtration function. In patients with type 2 diabetes, a significant direct correlation was found between copeptin level and serum creatinine (r = 0.247, p <0.03). We found more significant violations of glucose metabolism in DN patients with high serum levels of copeptin compared with patients with normal values of this factor. In particular, an increase in serum copeptin was accompanied by a significant increase in the HOMA index and insulin concentration.

Conclusions. Our data indicate that the copeptin level reflects the functional state of the kidneys and can be considered a diagnostic marker of renal and cardiovascular lesions in type 2 diabetes.

Analyzing and Measuring the Relation between the Golden Rule of Financial Discipline and the Federal Budget Deficit in Iraq for the Period (2004-2020)
Authors: Hamad Khalaf Mohamed , Abarahim Dhaygham Khataab
Published: October 2022

This study aims to reduce the deficit in the public budget through the policy of fiscal discipline in Iraq for the period 2004-2020, as the expansionist policy results in an increase in the fiscal deficit in the public budget, which results in the exacerbation of financial burdens and the accumulation of government debts, both on the external or internal level, and if this financial deficit continues, the expansion of government debt will negatively affect the performance of economic activity in general and the management of financial policy in particular; so this research found a relationship between the application of the golden rule of financial discipline and the deficit in the public budget, as the application of this rule works to reduce the deficit in the general budget, and thus achieve financial surpluses in the general budget, and all of this would achieve the objectives of the economic and financial policy that the government seeks to achieve. To achieve this goal, an annual time series was used that extends from 2004 -2020, through the use of a standard model on the statistical program E-views12; the main conclusion reached by the study is the existence of a relationship between the rules of financial discipline and the public budget deficit during the two periods age and depression in Iraq during the study period. The study concluded that the application of the golden rule of financial discipline would correct the course of fiscal policy and then the possibility of employing it to meet the challenges facing fiscal policy in Iraq through rationalizing investment spending, developing infrastructure, and improving education and health.

One of the responsibilities of administrative work is to use the poles and the economy of effort in all facets of the work, and one of the unavoidable priorities has been time management. In the conventional sense, the significance of this research is examining the degree of time management exhibited by the club's administrative bodies that play volleyball. Among the most prominent of these problems is the weakness of time management, how to invest this energy, and scheduling administrative work according to a programmed curriculum. Among the goals of this study is to build and implement the time management form for the administrative bodies of clubs participating in volleyball and learn about the level of time management of the administrative bodies of the participating clubs in volleyball. The researchers used the descriptive approach in the surveying study method because it is closest to dealing with the research problem. The research community represents the first-class volleyball club players, which included (150) players. The sample was divided into two parts, which included the Building sample and the application sample. The construction sample number was (100) players, and the application sample number was (50) players. The findings exposed a serious flaw in the administrative structures of the volleyball league's participating teams. It is advised that the administrative staffs of the volleyball league's participating teams pay close attention to time management.

Interaction through communication remains crucial in education. However, this became more magnified when academic institutions shifted to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is the reason why this study was conducted to explore more on the communication types, mechanisms, and reasons behind the phenomenon. The study employed Corpus-Based Discourse Analysis to understand the four-recorded virtual academic discourses of AB English Language Studies as the main source of data. These discourses were transcribed and analyzed using the analytical framework of Miles and Huberman (1994) to find out the existing types and mechanisms of communication repairs. In addition, study participants were interviewed to find out the reasons why these types and mechanisms were used during the virtual academic discourses. Findings revealed that there are three types of communication repairs utilized by the participants, including repetition, code-switching (substitution), and modification. In addition, the mechanisms include self-initiated self-repair and self-initiated other-repair, and the communication breakdown that demands repair in the virtual academic discourse is associated with communication barriers, comprehension constraints, and low self-esteem as common reasons. Thus, it is concluded that communication repair opens opportunities to eliminate communication breakdown, especially for those people who know communication repair strategies.

A verticalização de molares inclinados seja devido a anodontias ou perdas precoces de dentes adjacentes pode ser um desafio para os ortodontistas. Muitas são as mecânicas usadas para corrigir essa inclinação, porém é necessário, análise dos efeitos colaterais que podem ser provocados durante o processo de verticalização. O presente trabalho aborda um relato de caso onde optou-se por uma alça de correção radicular, ativada na geometria VI e associada a miniparafuso cabeça de braquete rosca invertida, uma mecânica que traz o mínimo de efeitos colaterais indesejados.

Objetivo: adaptar culturalmente a Social Distance Scale de Bogardus nos domínios esquizofrenia e dependência de heroína para o português falado no Brasil. Método: este estudo metodológico foi desenvolvido por meio do processo de adaptação cultural: 1) tradução; 2) comitê de juízes; 3) retrotradução; 4) pré-teste; e 5) ponderação dos scores. Na fase pré-teste, a amostra populacional foi de 40 profissionais de saúde da Atenção Primária à Saúde. Resultados: a escala adaptada para o português brasileiro foi avaliada como equivalente ao instrumento original. Para maior aproximação cultural com a realidade brasileira, o domínio “dependência de heroína” foi modificado para “dependência de cocaína”. O valor de alpha de Cronbach foi 0.69 e 0.62 para os domínios esquizofrenia e dependência de cocaína, respectivamente, indicando que houve equivalência semântica, cultural e conceitual no instrumento adaptado. Considerações finais: a adaptação cultural da escala obteve resultados representativos de boa consistência interna, mas há necessidade de validação desse instrumento por meio da análise das propriedades psicométricas.

Nos últimos anos, tem havido um crescimento na ênfase da educação de pacientes e de suas famílias sobre as condições médicas deles. Isso tem levado os pacientes a desejarem mais informações sobre suas condições, e, em parte, os profissionais de saúde têm reconhecido que um certo autocontrole da doença é importante para os pacientes. O objetivo geral deste trabalho foi adaptar para a cultura brasileira e avaliar a reprodutibilidade do Bristol COPD Knowledge Questionnaire em pacientes com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica. O presente estudo tratou de um questionário original composto de 65 perguntas foi traduzido para a língua portuguesa por um profissional com domínio na língua inglesa. Essa primeira versão passou por adaptação cultural. Em seguida foi aplicada a versão adaptada a oito pacientes que responderam ao questionário e avaliadas as dificuldades com as palavras traduzidas. Essa segunda versão em português adaptada culturalmente passou por uma tradução retrógrada para o inglês, por outro tradutor americano com domínio nas duas línguas. Esta versão em inglês foi comparada com a versão original pelos pesquisadores e depois pelo o autor do questionário original. Encontrou-se o valor de CCI de 0,83 para a avaliação global das duas aplicações do questionário. Avaliados isoladamente seis domínios apresentaram o CCI acima de 0,70, quatro entre 0,60 - 0,69 e três abaixo de 0,60. A menor concordância foi observada no domínio referente à etiologia e a maior, em corticoides orais. Concluímos que o Questionário Bristol adaptado para a língua portuguesa do Brasil é de fácil entendimento pelos pacientes com DPOC e mostrou ser reprodutível.

O estudo objetiva avaliar como os tratamentos fonoaudiologicos podem ajudar no desenvolvimento de crianças com transtorno do espectro autista. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura realizada através das bases de dados Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), através dos seguintes Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS): “Transtorno do Espectro Autista”, “Terapêutica”. Combinados entre si pelo operador booleano AND. Como critérios de inclusão: artigos disponíveis na íntegra, nos idiomas português, espanhol e inglês, que abordassem a temática, nos últimos cinco anos (2017-2022). Como critérios de exclusão: artigos que não contemplavam o tema e estudos repetidos nas bases de dados. A partir da busca inicial com os descritores e operador booleano definidos, foram encontrados 84 estudos nas bases selecionadas e após aplicar os critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram selecionados 10 estudos para compor a revisão. Diante do exposto, podemos observar que o fonoaudiólogo tem extrema importância no desenvolvimento das crianças com transtorno do espectro autista, propiciando uma qualidade de vida para a criança e para a família. Ainda assim, se faz necessários mais estudos para pautar as práticas de cuidado.
