From Culture Shock to Cross-cultural Adaptation: Narrative inquiry of a Kenyan student’s journey in Pakistan
Authors: Ali Shumaila
Published: July 2022

Travelling to a foreign country for higher education has its own challenges, as apart from dealing with academic stress, international students have to overcome various obstacles mainly because of linguistic and cultural differences between their native and the host country.The study explores a series of narratives shared by a Kenyan male student who had been in Karachi for the last five and a half years for earning a Pharm-D degree from a public sector university in Karachi. The aim of this qualitative narrative inquiry was to conduct an in-depth study of the challenges the Kenyan student faced during his five and a half years in Pakistan along with exploring how he succeeded in dealing with culture shock and adapting to the new academic, linguistic, and sociocultural environment in the host country.The data for this study were collected through a series of conversations with the participant collected in the form of stories, spanning over a period of 16 months. The collected data were analyzed through ‘a critical events approach’ based on highlighting critical events contained in the stories of experience. Although the findings of the study provide insights into the life experiences of only one international student, many international students, particularly the Kenyans can relate to it, as they pass through somewhat similar experiences during their academic journey in Pakistan. The findings of this study call for the need to facilitate international students irrespective of their race, religion, and nationality so that they do not feel marginalized in the host country.

Latin Vocabulary Knowledge and the Readability of Latin Texts: A Preliminary Study
Authors: Gruber-Miller John , Mulligan Bret
Published: July 2022

Studies have found a strong correlation between vocabulary knowledge and L2 reading comprehension. This preliminary study of the readability of Latin texts considers how common measures of lexical complexity (word length, word frequency, lexical sophistication, lexical density, and lexical variation) can inform instructors about what texts have the least (and most) lexical complexity. By defining several key measurements of Latin lexical complexity, we establish a provisional account of the lexical difficulty of some familiar Latin texts that are frequently taught in elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels, and propose LexR, a single, informative, integrated score that provides a sense of the comparative lexical complexity of Latin texts.

Authors: Zhuravleva N. S. , Frayfeld Т. A. , Vorobieva O. A. , Telina A. S. , Mineeva N. Yu.
Published: July 2022

Introduction. Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a disease of the glomeruli that occurs in childhood with a frequency of 12–16 per 100,000. More than 85 % children with NS respond to corticosteroid therapy, approximately 10–15 % remain refractory or later become resistant to them. In 10–30 % of patients with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS), mutations in the structural genes of podocytes, modifier genes were found, there is also evidence of the formation of circulating antibodies to the structure of podocytes, the influence of environmental factors. Difficulties in the diagnosis and treatment of SRNS are determined by its heterogeneous etiology, the frequent absence of remission with the development of multidrug resistance and the progression of the disease with the formation of end-stage chronic renal failure and the return of NS after kidney transplantation. The aim of the study is to present a clinical case of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis associated with the c.1280_1285delCACCCC mutation in the INF2 gene, localized on chromosome 14 in a 15-year-old child. Materials and methods. An analysis of clinical and anamnestic data was used - primary medical documentation (medical history), the results of an objective examination with examination, analysis of laboratory, instrumental diagnostic and molecular genetic methods for studying a child with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. Results and Discussion. The presented clinical case demonstrates the development in a child of SRNS with FSGS associated with a mutation in the structural podocyte gene INF2, which was also detected in a close relative. The course of the disease was characterized by multiple drug resistance. Conclusion. The presented clinical case of the development of FSGS in a child with SRNS demonstrates the importance of morphological verification of the disease in a child, conducting a molecular genetic study not only of the patient himself, but also of his parents to predict the risks of kidney transplantation, the return of NS in the recipient and donor.

消費者減少食物浪費之因素探討：以高雄市為例
Authors: 郭育齊 郭育齊 , Yu-Ci Guo 張瓊婷
Published: July 2022

食物浪費在已開發國家中以消費者層面的個人與家戶最為嚴重，臺灣亦然，但臺灣少見探討消費者減少食物浪費因素之實證研究。本研究以一延伸之計畫行為理論，亦即加入消費者之食物管理計畫變項，分析消費者減少食物浪費的行為受何因素影響。 本研究於2019年4月至5月間在高雄市某量販店愛河店與某超市鹽埕店進行調查，回收204份有效樣本。模型估計採結構方程模型，資料分析軟體為SPSS24版與AMOS24版。

分析結果呈現主觀規範與知覺行為控制對減少食物浪費意圖呈顯著正向影響，態度的影響則不顯著。減少浪費之意圖越高，自述之浪費行為亦越少。消費者之食物管理計畫對最終浪費行為呈顯著負向影響，知覺行為控制對消費者之食物管理計畫呈顯著正向影響，而知覺行為控制對最終浪費行為的影響則不顯著。

前述結果之意涵有三：一、家庭教育之約束屬主觀規範，若家庭成員致力減少浪費而樹立榜樣，或藉由規勸，可正面影響其他成員；二、透過相關措施培養家庭中主要負責購物與採買民眾訂定消費者之食物管理計畫，可望助於改變浪費行為；三、降低民眾對執行減少浪費行為的不便利性、增加消費者的自主性，例如增加包裝容量的彈性，協助消費者提升知覺行為控制。

 

Food waste at the consumer end is most problematic in developed countries, as well as in Taiwan. Nevertheless, there has been very little empirical research on the factors associated with reducing consumers’ food waste in Taiwan. This study makes an attempt to explore the factors that influence consumers’ intentions and behavior regarding food waste reduction via an extended theory of planned behavior (TPB), with a newly-added construct, the consumers’ food management plan.

We conducted a survey from April to May 2019. The questionnaires were distributed in the Love River branch of a hypermarket and the Yancheng branch of a supermarket in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. After removing samples with incomplete responses, there remained 204 valid questionnaires from the survey. We applied a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach to perform the estimation. Both SPSS24 and AMOS24 software were employed.

The results showed that both subjective norms and perceived behavioral control had significant positive effects, while attitude had no significant effect on the intention to reduce food waste. The intention to reduce food waste has a significant negative effect on food waste behavior. By contrast, the impact of perceived behavioral control on food waste behavior was not significant. Nevertheless, perceived behavioral control had a significant positive effect on the consumers’ food management plan. The food management plan had a significant negative effect on food waste behavior.

These findings imply that establishing a good example within a family may positively influence other family members in reducing food waste. Moreover, guiding consumers towards the implementation of food management plans was found to be useful in reducing food waste. Finally, perceived behavioral control could be improved through measures such as reducing the level of inconvenience and increasing consumer autonomy, for instance by increasing the variety of packaging sizes.

Com uma trajetória que atravessou o Império até os primeiros anos da República, sendo dissolvida em 1904, o enfoque deste artigo esteve em investigar as suas relações com o Estado brasileiro e, através desses elementos, contribuir para interpretação de sua natureza. A partir da análise de documentos institucionais e da bibliografia oficial, se argumenta pela compreensão de uma instituição que, apesar de heterogênea, desenvolveu características de um órgão consultivo oficial para temáticas técnico-científicas.
brinde, com cachaça, aos 200 anos de Independência do Brasil

Tomando como objeto de estudo as iniciativas de modernização da produção de açúcar e cachaça pela aristocracia na construção histórica do Brasil independente, as quais se pautavam na ciência ocidental moderna em contraposição ao método indiciário, analisamos documentos buscando evidenciar como os preceitos do Iluminismo orientaram essas iniciativas e como o uso de sinais se manteve em várias operações, mesmo em situações em que já existiam aparelhos precisos, como no caso do emprego da Prova de Holanda, que tem como correspondente atual o teste do ajofe. Em torno dessas práticas indiciárias há um campo de interdiscursividade e de interculturalidade criativa, com potencial para inspirar práticas educativas emancipatórias no campo do ensino de ciências, voltadas para uma compreensão ampliada das formas diversas de atividade racional e para a realização de ações sociopolíticas que valorizem a integração não hierárquica de saberes e promovam a decolonialidade, nas suas múltiplas dimensões.

The pandemic called COVID 19 has altered the ways in which people think, act, and believe and what not. Though morbidity and mortality are the biggest causes for concern, one cannot ignore the effect such a pandemic has over the other aspects of life. One such aspect is reading. While digital reading keeps on gaining further significance due to the pandemic, it becomes necessary to investigate the various facets of the same. Hence the study was conducted with the aim of examining the user preference towards select attributes of reading in the digital format. The present study is a descriptive research using primary data collected through questionnaire. The sample size was 100. It was found through Garrett ranking analysis that the most and least preferred format was ‘pdf’ and ‘azw’ respectively. The same for genre was fiction and poetry, whereas for device it was laptop and tablet. Chi-square tests were conducted for testing hypothesis. It was found through analysis that age and occupation had significant association with format and genre respectively. This finding presents a new perspective on digital reading user preferences over the previous studies for the fact that individual groups were focussed here.

Synthesized compounds that have been bis azo groups [B1-B3] from 1,2-diaminobenzene via coupling its diazonium salt with phenoxide anion of 4-alkoxybenzaldehyde which Alkoxy was as pentyl, hexyl, and Heptyl groups. These compounds B1-B3 are condensed with 4-Bromoaniline in Schiff bases reactions to give bisazoimine derivatives C1-C3. The compounds C1-C3 were produced by cycloaddition reaction to produce 1,3-oxazepine-4,7-dione derivatives D1-D3. The structures of the synthesized compounds are characterized by spectroscopic methods, such as FTIR, and 1HNMR spectra with the elemental composition analysis. The compounds D1-D3 that are synthesized play a big role in the inhibition of growth.

Aim: Aim of study is to evaluate the fracture resistance of the root canal treated Mandibular 1st and 2nd molar teeth with Conventional(TEC) access design and Truss(TREC) access design restored with composite resin and subjected to thermocycling. Method: 60 human 1st and 2nd molar (mandibular) teeth were randomly categorised into six (6) groups: CON (GroupI), TEC (GroupIII), TREC(GroupV) not subjected to thermocycling whereas CONTC (GroupII),TECTC(GroupIV) and TRECTC(GroupVI) subjected to thermocycling. Biomechanical preparation of the canals were done upto #F3 of Protaper gold rotary files (Dentsply) and obturated using gutta-percha points and restored using SDR bulk-fill composite(Dentsply). All samples were then subjected to thermo-cycling for 5000cycles between 15°C and 45°C for different time intervals and their fracture toughness tested under an Universal Tester with steel ball of diameter 5mm at a constant 1mm/min speed. Two-way and one-way ANOVA test employed for statistical analysis. Result: The fracture strength of teeth in TREC group had no notable variation with the control group (P>0.05) without thermocycling. Both TEC and TREC designs notably reduced the fracture toughness after thermocycling (P<0.05). The least fracture resistance was noted in TECTC group. Conclusion: TREC ought to increase the fracture resistance of root canal treated teeth after thermocycling.

Aim: To evaluate the properties of three different long-term addition polymerising silicone denture liners in relevant clinical situations. Materials and Methods: Three silicone-based, widely used soft denture liners (autopolymersing chair-side GC RelineTM Soft and Mollosil® and heat cure Molloplast® B) were selected. Forty-two disk-shaped samples were prepared using a heat-polymerised PMMA denture base material using a stainless steel split mould (40mm diameter, 8mm thickness). All three long-term silicone-based soft liners were mixed, and 3mm were poured over the specimens. The samples were stored in artificial saliva for 24 hours at 37 degrees Celsius, and initial measurements were taken for hardness, water sorption and modulus of elasticity. A Shore A durometer measured the hardness, water sorption with precision balance and modulus of elasticity with a universal testing machine. Statistical Analysis: Statistical constants such as mean and standard deviations (SD) were calculated. One-way ANOVA was done using Tukey's multiple comparison test to compare hardness, modulus of elasticity, sorption of three different addition polymerising soft liner after storage in artificial saliva checked at different time intervals.
