Tissue Volume and Section Area Changes of Paraffin and Methacrylate Embedded Testicular Sections: An Unbiased Design Study
Authors: Guo Yang , Xiang Yu , Wang Dan , Yang Zheng-Wei
Published: November 2024

For stereological estimates of structures in an organ such as total number (particles), length or surface area, the tissue change after processing (usually embedding of tissue blocks, sectioning of embedded blocks, and mounting and staining of sections) may need to be estimated to correct the results obtained on final sections so as to reflect the true results in the organ before processing. We proposed that the correction be made depending on the stereological principle used: correction for estimation with 3-dimensional and 2-dimensional measurements be based on different tissue volume and section area changes. Previous researches on tissue changes were limited and overlooked different corrections. Using paraffin and methacrylate embedded testicular sections, we studied, with an unbiased design, the tissue volume and section area changes after processing. The results demonstrated that the overall change of the actual tissue volume of paraffin sections was a marked shrinkage of 21%-23% while that of methacrylate sections was a small expansion almost negligible; compared with area of the embedded block face, the final section area had a 4% decrease in paraffin but an 8% increase in methacrylate. The results were tentatively used for correction of estimates in some of previous studies. The present study provides both methods and data for experiments involving the study of tissue change for better stereological estimation.

Authors: Syaripuddin Rahmatullah
Published: November 2024

The low level of students’ English oral proficiency was caused by inappropriate learning methods and the lack of a conducive English learning environment created by lecturers. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effectiveness of implementing the ChatGPT-assisted debate clinic approach to enhance students’ oral proficiency in English. This study was conducted using a quantitative approach with a true-experimental design (pretest–posttest control group design). The population involved in this study consisted of third-semester students from the Islamic Religious Education Study Program at STAI DDI Pinrang, Indonesia. The total population was 45 students, and the study sample was 29 students, selected using a total sampling technique. The statistical test results show that the significance values (Asymp. Sig. and Exact Sig.) are very small (0.000), indicating high statistical significance (p < 0.05). This means that there is a significant difference between the post-test data of the two groups. Therefore, teaching English through the ChatGPT-assisted debate clinic method can effectively enhance students’ oral proficiency.

Authors: Udiat Udiat , Widyaningrum Agnes
Published: November 2024

This study examines the short story "Hills Like White Elephants" by Ernest Hemingway through the lens of structuralism, focusing on the concept of binary opposition. As a narrative text, Hemingway's story utilizes a minimalist style to convey complex themes, leaving much of its meaning open to interpretation. This analysis employs Saussure's theory of structuralism to explore the contrasting elements within the story, such as the opposing desires of the characters, Jig and the American man, in relation to their decision about an unplanned pregnancy. Through a close textual analysis, the research identifies key binary oppositions present in the dialogue and symbolism of the story, including certainty versus uncertainty, power versus vulnerability, and pragmatism versus emotional depth. These Binary opposition highlight the underlying tensions in the relationship and the broader themes of freedom and responsibility. By examining these binaries, this study reveals the nuanced ways in which Hemingway constructs meaning and tension, offering insights into the complexities of human relationships and the challenges of communication. The findings underscore the significance of structural analysis in understanding the intricate layers of meaning in literary texts.
