Authors: Shagufta Khaliq  , Huma Hussain  , Reema Irum  , Muniza Saeed
Published: September 2024

Background & Objective:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and dyslipidemia are common medical disorders that independently increase vascular morbidity and mortality. Currently, there is no conclusive data indicating that Obstructive Sleep Apnea serves as a risk factor for disrupted lipid profiles and subclinical atherosclerosis, as assessed by ankle-brachial index (ABI). The objective of this cross-sectional study was to assess lipid profiles, blood sugar levels, and ankle brachial index in obese male participants with OSA and to compare them with obese individuals lacking OSA.
Methods:
In the present study, 64 obese males with BMI > 25kg/m2 were included between ages 20 - 45 years. Subjects having acute or chronic inflammatory conditions were excluded. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosis involved two subjective assessment tools, the Berlin and STOP BANG questionnaires, followed by overnight portable pulse oximetry. The study participants were partitioned into two distinct groups, 32 with OSA and 32 without OSA. Following an overnight fast lasting between 10 to 12 hours, blood samples were collected. Fasting blood glucose and lipid profiles were then analyzed using a spectrophotometer. ABI was measured by using a Doppler ultrasound device. The data was collected and then entered SPSS version 22 and analyzed. The study utilized both Independent Samples t-test as well as Mann-Whitney U test to analyze and compare the quantitative variables across the two groups.
Results
Comparison of ABI between the study groups showed a non-significant difference p-value= 0.435. Fasting blood sugar levels showed insignificant difference (p-value 0.778) among the study groups. Comparison between the groups showed a nonsignificant difference in triglyceride levels (p= 0.413) cholesterol (p-value 0.523), HDL (p-value 0.190), and LDL (p-value 0.888).
Conclusion
Normal lipid profile and normal ABI indicate the absence of detectable atherosclerosis in young apparently healthy OSA subjects without known comorbidities.

«Ab vergues d’amor». La creu com a símbol en la contemplació lul·liana
Authors: Saiz-Raimundo Maria
Published: September 2024

Jesucrist és un element clau en el mètode contemplatiu que crea i pregona Ramon Llull. Per la seua doble naturalesa i en tant que signe exemplar ple de virtuts, és el model a seguir per a qualsevol contemplador que vulga atènyer el seu fi. En l’espiritualitat cristocèntrica del beat, el patiment de Crist s’utilitza com a imatge per a la contemplació, i la creu n’esdevé un mitjà essencial. Si el recurs a la creu esdevé productiu en la contemplació, és perquè la visió de la creu activa el record de la passió i perquè significa les virtuts divines. Per això el bon contemplador ha de saber llegir-la, descodificar-ne les significacions i seguir de manera activa el model que representa, imitant la passió i el martiri de Jesucrist. El present article analitza el paper de la creu en la contemplació lul·liana a partir de diversos passatges de diferents obres de Llull, sobretot amb exemples de la magna enciclopèdia espiritual que bastí el beat, el Llibre de contemplació.

Accessing Traumatic Pasts through Play: Children’s Perspectives in Two Chilean Theatre Pieces
Authors: Laufenberg Marin
Published: September 2024

This paper examines Lola Arias’ El año en que nací (2012), and Gemelos by Chile’s La Troppa (1999), two theatre works which both approach the telling of trauma and representing experiences of life during dictatorship through the eyes of children. In both works, affective experiences of the dictatorship (knowledge difficult to document and discern in the official narrative) are communicated to the viewing audience by incorporating game playing and lightening tactics such as humor. Through moments of engaging in play, the incorporation of toys, role-playing, humor and laughter, a lightened mood of confronting serious social problems is suggested. I conclude that a ludic representation of trauma and violence may be one of the primary ways that the second generation approaches this charged, difficult to access history while negotiating with and evaluating post-memories and their society’s collective memory.
“Memory is Not for Sale!” La Venda Sexy and Political Sexual Violence in Chile
Authors: Gordon-Zolov Terri
Published: September 2024

Este artículo examina uno de los sitios conmemorativos más tensos en Chile hoy: Irán #3037, una casa particular en Santiago que sirvió como centro clandestino de detención bajo el régimen de Pinochet. También conocido como la “Venda Sexy” o la Discotéque, el sitio era conocido por la violencia y el abuso sexual durante la dictadura. Hoy, las activistas piden que la casa, que alcanzó el estado de Monumento Nacional en 2016, se transforme en un sitio conmemorativo feminista. Basándose en testimonios de sobrevivientes, este artículo analiza la obra de Patricia Artés Ibañez de 2019, Irán #3037 [violencia política sexual en dictadura], para considerar cómo el “teatro de protesta” puede desempeñar un papel catártico para una nación en crisis y servir como un potente vehículo en la lucha por la justicia por los crímenes de “violencia sexual política” en los tiempos de dictatura. Mi lectura se centra en la memoria corporal en la obra: las dimensiones afectivas, experienciales y situadas de la memoria que recrean el pasado, incluso cuando se encuentran ecos en el reciente estallido social. Por lo tanto, este ensayo considera la violencia de género en el pasado y el presente, considerando el impacto de la estrategia de “funa” en la conciencia social y los avances recientes en los casos penales legados de la era de Pinochet en Chile. Este artículo adopta un enfoque literario crítico, basándose en los campos de los estudios de género, los estudios de la memoria, la fenomenología y el derecho.
This article examines one of the most fraught memorial sites in Chile today: Irán #3037, a regular house in Santiago that served as a clandestine detention center under the Pinochet regime.  Also known as the “Venda Sexy” or the Discotéque, the site was known for sexual violence and abuse.  Today activists are calling for the house, which attained the state of National Monument in 2016, to be transformed into a feminist memorial site.  Drawing on testimony of survivors, this article analyzes Patricia Artés Ibañez 2019 play, Irán #3037 [violencia política sexual en dictadura], to consider how the “theater of protest” may play a cathartic role for a nation in crisis and a potent vehicle in the fight for justice for dictatorship-era crimes of “political sexual violence.”  My reading focuses on bodily memory in the play: the affective, experiential, and situated dimensions of memory which reenacted the past even as they found echoes in the estallido social.  This essay thus considers gender-based violence in the past and present, considering the impact of funa on social awareness and recent developments in Pinochet-era criminal cases in Chile.  This article takes a critical literary approach, drawing on the fields of gender studies, memory studies, phenomenology, and law.

Cómo ser mujer en México. Una entrevista a la escritora Gabriela Jáuregui
Authors: Ortiz Canseco Marta
Published: September 2024

Gabriela Jáuregui (Ciudad de México, 1979) es una de las voces más interesantes del panorama literario mexicano actual. La publicación de su última novela, Feral (Sexto Piso, 2022), la ha situado entre las autoras feministas con más potencia narrativa. Activista feminista, escritora e intelectual, toda su obra gira en torno al intento de conjugar ambos mundos: el de la lucha política y el de la práctica literaria. ¿Cómo traer la palabra, el discurso tradicionalmente tomado, construido y delineado por hombres a la lucha feminista? Ella reivindica el lenguaje como la herramienta principal para transformar, readaptar y reimaginar de manera cotidiana nuestras realidades. Su primer libro, titulado La memoria de las cosas (2015), reúne un conjunto de relatos, a medio camino entre el ensayo lírico y el cuento literario, que cuestiona el conocimiento científico al emular un gabinete de curiosidades propio del positivismo del siglo XVIII, pero desde muy distintas premisas: la aleatoriedad, la subjetividad, la denuncia social. Ha coordinado los tres volúmenes de Tsunami (Sexto Piso, 2018, 2020 y 2024), donde encontramos a las voces principales del panorama cultural e intelectual mexicano en el ámbito del feminismo. Una autora con mucho que contar sobre el devenir de los feminismos en México y su propio cuestionamiento del sistema patriarcal.

Fluency in mediation development in online environments
Authors: Lara Adriana Carolina
Published: September 2024

Technology has been incorporated as a valuable tool in education, especially in foreign language teaching. It has also transformed how individuals communicate because they are constantly engaged in face-to-face or online interactions. However, there are situations where the message is not effectively transmitted. In this context of information processing, Mediation emerges. It was incorporated as one of the four modes of communication in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) in 2018. The European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators and the CEFR were the primary basis for this research. This study aimed to develop a methodological proposal based on technology to work and assess the components of Mediation. In this arena, this study focuses on fluency. It was conducted in Ecuador, in Riobamba, at Universidad Nacional de Chimborazo. The population consisted of 63 students enrolled in their training to become English teachers. The research utilized a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The Shapiro-Wilk and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests were applied to analyze the data. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test was also selected as the hypothesis contrast statistic. Semi-structured interviews were implemented to elicit participant’s perceptions. The findings of this research show an improvement in language fluency in Mediation in virtual environments. In conclusion, learners enhanced their ability to use the language fluently and naturally to convey the meaning being transmitted and to boost understanding among interlocutors.
Auditoría tecnoética para el uso sostenible de plataformas digitales en Educación Primaria
Authors: Gonzalez-Mingot Sandra , Marín Victoria I.
Published: September 2024

El uso extendido de las plataformas digitales en la educación primaria conlleva implicaciones problemáticas a nivel ético y sostenible como la generación y el uso de los datos que beneficia a agentes aparentemente externos del proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Sin embargo, son pocas las investigaciones y soluciones prácticas en este nivel educativo.  Presentamos una auditoría tecnoética testeada por el claustro de una escuela de Cataluña para fomentar la reflexión sobre las cuestiones sociales, comerciales, ambientales y pedagógicas que supone el uso de la tecnología en la educación. Los resultados muestran una valoración tecnoética negativa de las plataformas utilizadas en el estudio de caso. Además, se ha evidenciado un nivel escaso de concienciación que ha mejorado tras la auditoría, generando conocimiento sobre los metadatos o datos ocultos, la accesibilidad e inclusividad de las plataformas, su impacto medioambiental, los intereses comerciales de los Bigtech como empresas proveedoras, y la justificación pedagógica entrelazada de su uso.  A la luz de los resultados y apoyándonos en la bibliografía sobre el tema, proponemos recomendaciones para la administración, la escuela y los docentes a modo de conclusiones que garanticen el uso ético y sostenible de las plataformas digitales.
Análisis de interacciones no formales de estudiantes universitarios de posgrado a través de mensajería instantánea
Authors: Martínez Carmen , Prendes M. Paz
Published: September 2024

Las tecnologías se han convertido en elementos básicos que contribuyen al aprendizaje de los estudiantes universitarios, quienes las utilizan en su contexto académico tanto para relacionarse con sus compañeros como para realizar trabajos en grupo (colaboración no formal). Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación sobre la colaboración mediada por tecnología a través de mensajería instantánea en un contexto no formal de estudiantes de postgrado. Con el fin de describir el uso que hacen de la mensajería instantánea se desarrolló una investigación no experimental de tipo evaluativo, basada en un enfoque metodológico mixto y un diseño de caso único. Durante todo un curso académico, se clasificaron mediante análisis de contenido los mensajes intercambiados por los alumnos en cinco grupos de mensajería instantánea y se analizaron las distintas intenciones comunicativas de los estudiantes. Los grupos de mensajería instantánea fueron creados espontáneamente por los estudiantes de posgrado, sin interacción alguna por parte de sus profesores. Los resultados muestran que la mensajería instantánea se utiliza principalmente para pedir ayuda a los compañeros sobre dudas en general y, en particular, las que surgen al realizar las actividades del curso. A través de la mensajería instantánea responden a esas dudas, comparten información académica de interés, expresan sus opiniones y ponen en común sus quejas relacionadas con el curso, las actividades o el profesorado, aunque estas últimas son minoritarias
Translating le vrai americain: Multilingualism in Henry James’s The Ambassadors and James Baldwin’s Giovanni’s Room
Authors: Kang Jimin
Published: September 2024

Drawing upon work from translation studies that posits the precariousness of living between languages, this article explores how the French–English bilingualism in Henry James’s The Ambassadors (1909) and James Baldwin’s Giovanni’s Room (1956) foregrounds the identity fissures that arise in their American protagonists when they arrive in Europe. In both novels, language plays a key role in mining the inner worlds of protagonists preoccupied with lives they fear they haven’t lived; these preoccupations intersect with race, nationality, sexuality, and class. Although other scholars have previously used these four identity markers as entry points into exploring these novels, this article includes multilingualism in the nexus to argue that language offers a visible and textual platform through which the mediation of identity can take place.

James Baldwin in the USSR and Post-Soviet Countries, 1970s–2010s
Authors: Stulov Yuri
Published: September 2024

This article explores the history of Baldwin Studies in the USSR and post-Soviet countries (Azerbajian, Belarus, Russia, Ukraine), which is illustrative of literary approaches and interpretations characteristic of Soviet scholarship. First translations of his short stories, essays, and the play Blues for Mr. Charlie appeared in the early 1960s, followed by commentaries in leading Soviet literary and popular journals. For ideological reasons, in the 1960–70s the focus was on the writer’s public stance and involvement in the civil rights movement. It was only in the years of perestroika—“openness”—and the 1990s that his oeuvre in its entirety began to be discussed without taboos, omissions, or ideological bias. In the 2000s, the focus shifted to discussions of aspects of Baldwin’s method and peculiarities of his style. At present, James Baldwin is regarded as a key personality in contemporary US literature, though interest in his literary heritage has somewhat subsided.

Analyzing the critical steps in deep learning-based stock forecasting: a literature review
Authors: Akşehir Zinnet Duygu , Kılıç Erdal
Published: September 2024

Stock market or individual stock forecasting poses a significant challenge due to the influence of uncertainty and dynamic conditions in financial markets. Traditional methods, such as fundamental and technical analysis, have been limited in coping with uncertainty. In recent years, this has led to a growing interest in using deep learning-based models for stock prediction. However, the accuracy and reliability of these models depend on correctly implementing a series of critical steps. These steps include data collection and analysis, feature extraction and selection, noise elimination, model selection and architecture determination, choice of training-test approach, and performance evaluation. This study systematically examined deep learning-based stock forecasting models in the literature, investigating the effects of these steps on the model’s forecasting performance. This review focused on the studies between 2020–2024, identifying influential studies by conducting a systematic literature search across three different databases. The identified studies regarding seven critical steps essential for creating successful and reliable prediction models were thoroughly examined. The findings from these examinations were summarized in tables, and the gaps in the literature were detailed. This systematic review not only provides a comprehensive understanding of current studies but also serves as a guide for future research.

Introduction: Surgical treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) has advanced significantly in recent years. Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is a minimally invasive procedure associated with a low risk of complications and clinical limitations, including life-threatening Transurethral Resection (TUR) syndrome, as, well as higher costs due to longer hospital stays and challenges in managing large glands. Aim: To compare the safety and effectiveness of prostate enucleation using Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) with bipolar resection of the prostate in cases of BPH. Materials and Methods: A hospital-based prospective interventional study was conducted in the Department of Urology, Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Pune, Maharashtra, India, from January 2020 to July 2022. The study included 60 patients, divided into two groups of 30 each. Males aged ≥45 years with recurrent Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) secondary to BPH, with or without Acute Urinary Retention (AUR) (drug-refractory) or with failed medical therapy (alpha-blockers, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors), were included in the study. In the first group, HoLEP was performed (Group I), while in the second group (Group II), patients underwent bipolar resection. Data were analysed and statistically evaluated using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 21.0. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age of patients in the HoLEP group was 60.25 years, while in the Bipolar TURP (B-TURP) group, it was 59.67 years. Both groups had similar proportions of patients with moderate urinary symptoms {International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS)} and large prostates (>80 grams). The mean amount of irrigation fluid used (40.83±9 litres vs. 21.2±5.9 litres) and the duration of surgery (106.33±14.24 min vs. 67.4±9.73 minutes) were significantly higher in the HoLEP group compared to the B-TURP group (p-value<0.001). Postoperative catheterisation time (1.003±0.23 days vs. 2.38±0.52 days) (p<0.001) and length of hospital stay (3.2±0.65 days vs. 4.67±1.32 days) (p<0.001) were significantly longer in the B-TURP group compared to the HoLEP group. Both the HoLEP and bipolar resection of the prostate groups did not experience significant intraoperative or immediate postoperative complications; however, one patient in the HoLEP group developed urethral stricture as a late complication. Conclusion: The B-TURP procedure is an equally effective and feasible method for treating BPH patients, with a smaller learning curve and lesser financial burden.

Introduction: Television food advertisements targeting children are recognised as a significant health risk, influencing their dietary choices and contributing to the increasing prevalence of Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs) among children in Low and Middle-income Countries (LMICs). Understanding maternal perceptions and attitudes towards these advertisements is crucial for designing effective public health interventions. Aim: To evaluate maternal perceptions and attitudes toward television food advertisements targeting children, specifically among mothers of children aged 4-11 years. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Paediatric and Preventive Dentistry, Dr. D. Y. Patil Dental College and Hospital, Pune, Maharashtra, India, from My 2023 to November 2023. A total of 332 mothers of children aged 4-11 years were divided into two groups: Group 1 (mothers of children aged 4-7 years) with 159 participants, and group 2 (mothers of children aged 8-11 years) with 173 participants. A prevalidated, closed-ended questionnaire consisting of 24 questions was administered to the mothers. The reliability of the questionnaire was ensured through the preliminary exploratory study and expert reviews, achieving a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.84. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests to compare perceptions of mothers in both groups. Results: The study received 332 responses from mothers with children aged 4-11 years. Significant differences between the two age groups were observed. In group 1, 64 (52%) mothers mothers agreed, while 41 (57.7%) mothers in group 2 strongly agreed that their children show a keen interest in watching food advertisements. Additionally, 80 (55.9%) mothers in group 1 agreed, while 39 (44.8%) mothers in group 2 strongly agreed that their children do not understand the persuasive intent of food advertisements, with statistical significance (p-value=0.001). Most mothers, 75 (52.4%) in group 1 and 68 (47.6%) in group 2, agreed that reducing exposure to food advertisements would improve children’s eating behaviour (p-value=0.01). Moreover, 61 (64.9%) mothers in group 1 strongly agreed, and 77 (58.3%) mothers in group 2 agreed that seeing advertisements persuaded children to want unhealthy foods, highlighting significant differences between the age groups (p-value=0.004). Conclusion: Mothers recognise the negative impact of TV food advertisements on their children’s eating habits, particularly noting the use of cartoons and celebrities to promote unhealthy snacks and low-nutrition food that their children struggle to understand. The present study emphasises the urgent need for regulatory measures to protect young viewers and promote healthier dietary choices across different age groups.

This study evaluated the impact of methionine and tryptophan supplementation on the silk gland weight and Silk Gland Tissue Somatic Index (SGTSI) of eri silkworm, Samia ricini Donovan, a key species in vanya silk production. Freshly collected castor leaves were fortified with methionine and tryptophan solutions at various concentrations and fed to silkworm larvae from the third instar until maturity. The treatments significantly enhanced silk gland weight and SGTSI compared to the control. The highest silk gland weight (1.52g) and SGTSI (25.16%) were observed in larvae fed with tryptophan at 500 ppm (T6), followed by methionine at 500 ppm (T3) with 1.47g and 24.61%, respectively. Control larvae exhibited the lowest values (1.07g and 19.43%). Combination treatments of methionine and tryptophan showed less improvement compared to individual treatments. These findings suggest that dietary supplementation with specific amino acids could enhance silk gland development and silk production.
