GRAMMATICAL AND LEXICAL COHESION ANALYSIS OF TRUMP’S SPEECH UPON SOLEIMANI ASSASSINATION
Authors: Mandarani Vidya
Published: April 2020

This study specifically examined the grammar and lexical cohesion of a speech from one of the controversial figure, Donald Trump, regarding with a current reckless assassination upon Iran’s highest general, Qasem Soleimani, in early 2020. Such investigation required the use of textual analysis of a designated speech from a YouTube video, which transcripted further be thoroughly examined. The results showed that Trump positively justified his action while negatively claim the opposite of his addressee. This was shown with the most frequent form of cohesion for the grammatical section is the reference with 65 pieces of evidence, as well as near-synonym and repetition with only 9 evidence for lexical section. While the least form is the conjunction with 23 evidence, also both synonym and general word with only 1 evidence. This also highlighted that the use of some cohesion features displays a different aim and effect. All in all, this study presented a theoretical implication, where all elements of a related proper speech entailed the use of grammatical and lexical cohesion altogether.

Authors: Utami Valisneria
Published: April 2020

Many research concerning pronunciation problems of Chinese learners majorly take place within the country, yet very few of them conducted in the context where English is the native language of the country. This study aims to explore the problematic features of pronunciation of Chinese student who studied in Australian university. This study employs qualitative approach with a single case study. The data were collected through an interview and two models of speaking; monologue and reading a text. The problematic features, then, were prioritized based on its context and concept of English as International Language (EIL) context proposed by Jennifer Jenkins (2006). The result showed that the participant was aware about her pronunciation issues. Several problematic segmental and suprasegmental features in which emerged during data analysis also supported this finding. The problematic features are consonant cluster, long and short vowels, /r/ and /l/ sounds, schwa addition in monosyllabic words, /æ/, /ɛ/ and /ʌ/, and issues in word stress, prominence, and intonation. Among all these features, the proposed prioritization of teaching is to focus on word stress, consonant cluster, intonation and prominence, /r/ and/l/, and long and short vowels. The findings also showed  slightly difference in which in this study, the participant did not encountered difficulties in pronouncing double /l/ sounds.This study concludes with recommendation for teaching and learning these problematic features.

Published: April 2020

The aim of this research was to find out the type and reason of code switching on WhatsApp group of Putera Batam University. In collecting the data, the research applied observational method non-participatory technique. The data was analyzed by using the theory of Poplack (1980). The researchers applied the text in WhatsApp as the data. It was found 15 texts contain code switching. The data ware classified into three: tag switching, inter-sentential switching and intra-sentential switching. From the 15 text, intra-sentential switching were the most frequent type of code switching because WhatsApp group members often change language from Indonesian to English in only a few sentences that appear at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of sentence. Code switching have ten reason using theory of Grosjean (1981). First, to fill the linguistic needs for lexical items, specify phrases, discourse markers, or sentence fillers. Second, to continue the last language used (trigger). Third, quote someone. Fourth, to determine the recipient. Fifth, to qualify the message: strengthen or emphasize. Sixth, to determine the involvement of the speaker (personal message). Seventh, to mark and emphasize group identity. Eighth, conveys confidentiality, anger, and harassment. Ninth, to exclude someone from conversation. Tenth, change the role of the speaker: Increase status, add authority, and show expertise. For reasons in the WhatsApp group only 3 of 10 kinds of reasons were found: to fill the linguistic needs for lexical items, to continue the last language used (triggered) and to determine speaker involvement.

Towards a program of focused and applied curriculum research
Authors: D'Eon, PhD Marcel
Published: April 2020

Though hundreds of journal pages have been packed with studies describing, analyzing, and synthesizing benefits of PBL over conventional curricula we still don’t really know why because there are so many differences between them that it is impossible to say which of the various elements contributes to any incremental student learning. We need to apply the scientific method to studies of curriculum delivery. Accumulating evidence from strong studies in messy real-world situations will eventually yield important insights and instrumental truths for real medical schools and real medical students that teachers and administrators can then implement. Examples of feasible experimental designs are described including a factorial study. More effective curriculum development is only possible through a renewed applied research agenda that is both focused and grounded in the real world.

Osmanlı’da Sinema Yayıncılığı ve Bilinen İlk Türkçe Sinema Gazetesi: Türk Sineması
Authors: ODABAŞI İsmail Arda
Published: April 2020

Osmanlı’da ilk Türkçe sinema gazeteleri 1914’te yayın hayatına girmiştir. Bununla birlikte Osmanlı dönemi sinema yayıncılığı ve yayınları az çalışılmış bir konudur ve bu nedenle büyük oranda meçhul kaldığı söylenebilir. Bu makalede Osmanlı sinema ve basın tarihinin – şimdilik bilindiği kadarıyla – en eski ama kuvvetle muhtemelen ilk sinema yayını olan Türk Sineması ilk kez gün ışığına çıkarılmış, tanıtılmış ve tahlil edilmiştir. İkinci olarak bu makalede, Türkçe sinema yayıncılığını doğuran toplumsal, iktisadi, siyasi ve ideolojik dinamikler tartışılmıştır. Diğer bir deyişle, ilk Türkçe sinema gazetesini/gazetelerini neyin/nelerin doğurduğu ve şekillendirdiği sorusu cevaplandırılmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu minvalde Osmanlı’da yerleşik sinema salonlarının doğuşu ve gelişimi, Balkan Savaşları ve 1913-1914 Boykotajı, Türk milliyetçiliği ve onun iktisadi boyutu olan “milli iktisat”, sinemaya yönelik seyirci rağbeti ve sinemanın ticari bakımdan kazançlı bir işkolu hâline gelişi temas edilen bazı konulardır.
Uma proposta de articulações entre Álgebra Vetorial e GeoGebra

Published: April 2020

Neste trabalho, apresentamos algumas produções oriundas de um minicurso realizado em um evento direcionado a licenciandos e professores de matemática da Educação Básica. Destarte que, apenas estudantes realizaram inscrição nesta atividade. A proposta do minicurso constituiu-se a partir de um estudo do trânsito entre as diferentes representações vetoriais nos domínios numérico, algébrico e geométrico, subsidiado pelo software GeoGebra, com o intuito de apontar caminhos para a instauração de pressupostos do emergente Paradigma de Questionamento do Mundo, cujos pilares se assentam no despertar de uma visão prospectiva que se opõe ao Paradigma de Visitação de Obras. Nesta perspectiva, tomamos como aporte teórico a Teoria Antropológica do Didático – TAD, a qual possui um dos fundamentos centrado nas análises das atividades didáticas matemáticas em torno de uma modelação praxeológica pontual, por meio da interação entre os blocos prático e teórico. As atividades foram planejadas e desenvolvidas contemplando-se tarefas que geralmente são tratadas em aulas ou avaliações sobre a teoria de vetores no plano, objetivando-se apontar direções para integrar o software às aulas que abordam a álgebra vetorial. Em termos de resultados, identificamos que os participantes abandonaram a postura estática e coadjuvante imposta no modelo tradicional de ensino e assumiram um papel protagonista nas atividades desenvolvidas, tanto no ambiente “papel lápis” quanto no âmbito virtual, contribuindo, desta forma, com a formação de futuros professores de matemática que questionem e não apenas visitem obras.
Matemática e Arte à luz [e à noite] de Gaston Bachelard: processos criativos na educação
Authors: Kerscher Mônica Maria , Flores Cláudia Regina
Published: April 2020

Este texto intenta colocar luz sobre o pensamento diurno e noturno (complementar e não oposto) de Gaston Bachelard sobre a razão e a imaginação, para pensar as conexões entre a Matemática e a Arte. Para tanto, analisa-se o envolvimento de Bachelard com os pressupostos do movimento surrealista da arte, a partir do qual o epistemólogo propõe o termo surracionalidade. Com isso, devanear-se-á com a surracionalidade em Educação Matemática, dialogando com o que se produz em pesquisas que envolvem Matemática e Arte, nas quais a imaginação criadora pode potencializar a problematização e a reflexão do conhecimento matemático, fazendo com que outras e novas coisas, pensamento e conhecimento aconteçam.
Narrativas históricas: ensaiando movimentações de exus e pombagiras em terreiros de Quimbanda de Rio Grande/ RS
Authors: Soares Rodrigo Lemos , Dillmann Mauro
Published: April 2020

Neste artigo problematizo como os saberes em torno das narrativas de experiências históricas foram recorrentes ao produzir análises acerca do ensino de danças de exus e pombagiras, em terreiros de Quimbanda, na cidade do Rio Grande/ RS. Utilizei, para tanto, discussões sobre ensino relacionadas a dois conceitos: conhecimento histórico e usos do passado. Ensinar, ainda que não seja uma premissa de todos(as) os(as) participantes do estudo, coloca em debate artefatos ou técnicas, que substanciam os movimentos dos corpos dos(as) filhos(as) de santo dos(as) dirigentes de terreiros. O aporte teórico está centrado nos Estudos Culturais na sua vertente pós-estruturalista e as narrativas foram produzidas a partir de roteiros estruturados, sendo os dados analisados sob uma Análise Cultural. Considero que o conhecimento é transitório e que produz, a partir de narrativas históricas, sujeitos religiosos por meio das danças. Desse modo, especifico que os saberes e o ato de ensinar não são processos definitivos e que apresentam conexões de proximidade com histórias que forjam os terreiros.

Impacts of Adding Rye, Sorghum and Their Mixtures on the Quality of Untraditional Egyptian Kishk
Authors: Ali Jehan B. , El-Sisy T. T. , Abdel-Salam A. F.
Published: April 2020

Kishk is a dried mixture of fermented milk and cereal, widely consumed in Upper Egypt. The aim of this study was to study the effect of rye, sorghum with wheat grains compared with traditional wheat kishk (control) on physical properties, chemicals composition, microbiological and sensory analysis. Untraditional kishk was prepared with rye, sorghum and four groups of mixtures Mix1 (50% wheat and 50% rye), Mix 2 (50% wheat and 50% sorghum), Mix3 (50% rye and 50% sorghum) and Mix4 (mixed of wheat, rye and sorghum in ratio of 1:1:1) compared with traditional wheat kishk. The chemical composition analysis of different untraditional kishk was in the following ranges: moisture content of kishk samples ranged from 8.00 to 12.72% for M 2 and M 1, respectively. M 2 had the highest total solid of untraditional kishk samples value 84.66% while Mix 1 had the lowest value 76.18%. For protein content, wheat had the highest protein 27.11% followed by M 1 (26.02%), while sorghum (22.90%) had the lowest protein content. On other hand nitrogen free extracts (NFE) % range from 65.76% (rye) to 80.55% (wheat). Additionally Sorghum had lower fat (2.50%) than other samples and wheat was lower in ash content 6.64% in completely in other untraditional kishk. The results of fiber showed that rye had significant highest value of 8.12% while wheat had lowest value of 1.80%. M 3 was the lowest total caloric values 325.13% of kishk samples and tannic acid was under detection safe limit 0.185%. Data also indicated that as a result of pH of different prepared kishk samples. Microbiological analysis of kishk from wheat, rye, sorghum and their mixture were determined. M1 kishk is white and yellow colored than other untraditional kishk samples. Differences in sensory attributes were associated with different grain kishk and their mixed but there were no significant differences between wheat kishk control and M 1 in mouth feeling, and consistency. Sensorial, M1 kishk is more acceptability than other treatment after the traditional kishk control.
Direct comparison of Eulerian–Eulerian and Eulerian–Lagrangian simulations for particle‐laden vertical channel flow
Authors: Baker Michael C. , Kong Bo , Capecelatro Jesse , Desjardins Olivier , Fox Rodney O.
Published: April 2020

Particle‐laden flows in a vertical channel were simulated using an Eulerian–Eulerian, Anisotropic Gaussian (EE‐AG) model. Two sets of cases varying the overall mass loading were done using particle sizes corresponding to either a large or small Stokes number. Primary and turbulent statistics were extracted from these results and compared with counterparts collected from Eulerian–Lagrangian (EL) simulations. The statistics collected from the small Stokes number particle cases correspond well between the two models, with the EE‐AG model replicating the transition observed using the EL model from shear‐induced turbulence to relaminarization to cluster‐induced turbulence as the mass loading increased. The EE‐AG model was able to capture the behavior of the EL simulations only at the largest particle concentrations using the large Stokes particles. This is due to the limitations involved with employing a particle‐phase Eulerian model (as opposed to a Lagrangian representation) for a spatially intermittent system that has a low particle number concentration.
Increased expression of immune checkpoint programmed cell death protein‐1 (PD‐1) on T cell subsets of bone marrow aspirates in patients with B‐Lymphoblastic leukemia, especially in relapse and at diagnosis

Published: April 2020

Background

We analyzed expression profiles of immune checkpoint receptors on T cell subsets and ligands on leukemic blasts in patients with B‐lymphoblastic leukemia (B‐ALL).

Methods

Total 149 bone marrow (BM) samples obtained from 65 B‐ALL patients with four different clinical status (41 at diagnosis, 54 in complete remission [CR], 34 in persistence, and 20 in relapse), and 32 BM control samples were prospectively enrolled. Expression of immune checkpoint receptor (programmed cell death protein‐1 [PD‐1]) on T cell subsets and ligands (PD‐L1, PD‐L2) on leukemic blasts was evaluated by flow cytometry, and was compared between patient subgroups.

Results

Relapsed patients demonstrated highest PD‐1 expression proportion and intensity on CD3+CD4+ T cells with statistical significance when compared to patients in persistence/CR/BM controls (p = .027/<.001/<.001 and .012/.001/<.001, respectively). Newly diagnosed patients showed significantly lower PD‐1 expression proportion on CD3+CD4+ T cells than relapsed patients (p < .001), but their intensity was not significantly different. Relapsed patients showed significantly higher PD‐1 expression proportion and intensity on CD3+CD8+ T cells than patients in CR/BM controls (p = .022/.045 and .049/.005, respectively), but PD‐1 expression status on them were not significantly different between relapsed and newly diagnosed patients. PD‐L1/L2 expression on leukemic blasts was not significantly different between patient subgroups.

Conclusions

In BM aspirates from B‐ALL patients, PD‐1 expression on T‐cell subsets is increased at diagnosis, and to a greater extent, at relapse. These data suggest the potential usefulness of PD‐1 blockade in the treatment of B‐ALL, particularly at relapse.

Role of Lectin-like Oxidized LDL Receptor-1 and Syncytiotrophoblast Extracellular Vesicles in the Vascular Reactivity of Mouse Uterine Arteries During Pregnancy
Authors: Spaans Floor , Quon Anita , Kirschenman Raven , Morton Jude S. , Sawamura Tatsuya , Tannetta Dionne S. , Sargent Ian L. , Davidge Sandra T.
Published: April 2020

Vascular complications in pregnancy (e.g. preeclampsia) are a major source of maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality, and may be due to excessive release of placental syncytiotrophoblast-derived extracellular vesicles (STBEVs) into the maternal circulation. Increased activity of the multi-ligand scavenger receptor Lectin-like Oxidized LDL Receptor-1 (LOX-1) is associated with vascular dysfunction, and LOX-1 has been shown to interact with angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1). We hypothesized that STBEVs contribute to vascular dysfunction via LOX-1 and AT1 receptors during pregnancy. Uterine arteries from late pregnant wildtype and LOX-1 overexpressing mice were incubated overnight with or without STBEVs and vascular function was assessed using wire myography. STBEV-incubation decreased angiotensin II responsiveness only in wildtype mice, which coincided with decreased AT1 contribution and expression. Thus, STBEVs reduced angiotensin II responsiveness in normal pregnancy, but not in conditions of increased LOX-1 expression, suggesting that STBEVs (via LOX-1) play a role in normal adaptations to pregnancy. Oxidized LDL (a LOX-1 ligand) increased angiotensin II-induced vasoconstriction in STBEV-incubated arteries from both mouse strains, suggesting that the LOX-1 pathway may be involved in complicated pregnancies with elevated STBEVs and oxidized LDL levels (such as preeclampsia). These data increase our understanding of vascular complications during pregnancy.
Uncertainty propagation based on correlated sampling technique for nuclear data applications

A correlated sampling technique has been implemented to estimate the impact of cross section modifications on the neutron transport and in Monte Carlo simulations in one single calculation. This implementation has been coupled to a Total Monte Carlo approach which consists in propagating nuclear data uncertainties with random cross section files. The TMC-CS (Total Monte Carlo with Correlated Sampling) approach offers an interesting speed-up of the associated computation time. This methodology is detailed in this paper, together with two application cases to validate and illustrate the gain provided by this technique: the highly enriched uranium/iron metal core reflected by a stainless-steel reflector HMI-001 benchmark, and the PETALE experimental programme in the CROCUS zero-power light water reactor.

Aim To test the usability and user experience of a newly self-developed eLearning tool to teach PET/CT and CT to undergraduate medical students.

Methods The eLearning tool permits to display PET and CT DICOM images web-based. It contains a healthy subject with anatomical annotations and a clinical case study. The usability and user experience of the eLearning tool was evaluated in undergraduate medical students of the medical faculty of the RWTH Aachen. We applied a survey based on different already existing and validated questionnaires such as System Usability Scale (SUS) and User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ-S) as well as specific questions regarding the eLearning tool.

Results 38 volunteers (9 males) participated in our study. Applying the SUS resulted in a mean of 82.24, and a median of 83.75. This positive evaluation is supported by the results of the UEQ-S that were 2.2 with regard to the pragmatic quality, 2.3 with regard to hedonic quality and 2.3 for overall quality indicating a very positive evaluation. In the free-text answers, students emphasised easy and intuitive use of the eLearning tool that was additionally described as interesting and exciting. The students also positively mentioned the case study and the possibility of practice-based learning. Negative aspects were mainly problems with synchronisation of the PET and CT images.

Conclusion The positive evaluation is encouraging and form a foundation for further development of the eLearning module. It may be the basis for the implementation of a sustainable blended learning concept in the nuclear medicine curriculum.

Consociationalism under examination: Is consociationalism the optimal multiculturalist approach for Turkey?
Authors: Kolçak Hakan
Published: April 2020

Some scholars maintain that the Republic of Turkey should construct a consociational model to manage its ethno‐cultural diversity. This article suggests consociationalism is not the optimal multiculturalist approach for Turkey, where there is some degree of interethnic moderation between ethnic Kurds and Turks at the grassroots level. In the presence of this mass‐based moderation, a consociational formula is unlikely to provide Turkish political leaders with political incentives that urge them to cooperate and enter into consociational power‐sharing arrangements with their Kurdish counterparts. This renders consociational power‐sharing arrangements difficult to promote or enforce in Turkey. In the absence of such incentives, any multicultural reform of the consociational formula would not be sustainable in Turkey. There would simply not be enough popular support for such reforms. There are some electoral strategies that offer both majority and minority leaders political incentives to move toward the moderate middle, form interethnic coalitions, foster interculturalism, and increase the number of intercultural citizens. These strategies are offered by centripetalism, another multiculturalist approach to managing ethno‐cultural diversity.
Helicobacter pylori

Helicobacter pylori
has been shown to agglutinate erythrocytes in a sialic acid-dependent manner. However, very few studies have examined relevant target cells in the human stomach. Neutrophils are required for the onset of gastritis, and the inflammatory reaction may be induced on contact between bacteria and neutrophils. In the present work, glycolipids and glycoproteins were isolated from neutrophils and were studied for binding by overlay with radiolabeled bacteria on thin-layer chromatograms and on membrane blots. There was a complex pattern of binding bands. The only practical binding activity found was sialic acid dependent, since treatment of glycoconjugates with neuraminidase or mild periodate eliminated binding. As shown before for binding to erythrocytes and other glycoconjugates, bacterial cells grown on agar bound to many glycoconjugates, while growth in broth resulted in bacteria that would bind only to polyglycosylceramides, which are highly heterogeneous and branched poly-
N
-acetyllactosamine-containing glycolipids. Approximately seven positive bands were found for glycoproteins, and the traditional ganglioside fraction showed a complex, slow-moving interval with very strong sialic-acid-dependent binding, probably explained by Fuc substitutions on GlcNAc.

Keratinocytes injured acutely by UVB light or lipopolysaccharide were used to test the hypothesis that keratinocyte injury promotes bacterial adherence and the development of group A streptococcal skin infections. Injury did not affect adherence to undifferentiated and differentiated keratinocytes, but keratinocyte differentiation promoted adherence four- to fivefold.

The article analyzes the results of the Unified State Qualification Examination (USQE) implementation in order to assess the pharmacy students’ education level during the Krok-1 licensed integrated examination and to compare these results with the national indicators.

Considering that for the first time in 2019 a new qualitative assessment method of students’ knowledge has been introduced in Ukraine, both Ukrainian and foreign third year pharmacy students have had the USQ examination at Dnipropetrovsk Medical Academy (DMA), which included two components: Krok-1 licensed integrated examination and professional English. The analysis of the obtained results has revealed some shortcomings of the student training program and drawn an attention to the solution to these problematic issues.

This comprehensive assessment of the pharmacy students’ profile knowledge allows us to identify the training programs’ shortcomings and provides an opportunity to increase the effectiveness of study at the academy in order to integrate Ukrainian specialists in the world medicine.

Published: April 2020

O contato intencional e controlado com objetos é a meta das habilidades de controle de objetos e espera-se que as mudanças em tais habilidades apareçam em uma sequência progressiva de níveis desenvolvimentais, com o aumento da idade cronológica. O sexo é um fator a ser melhor estudado neste contexto. Este estudo investigou os níveis desenvolvimentais (inicial, intermediário e avançado) em habilidades de controle de objetos em pré-escolares, segundo idade e sexo. A amostra foi composta por 342 crianças, de 3, 4 e 5 anos (187 meninos). O TGMD-2 foi usado para avaliar o desempenho nas habilidades rebater, quicar, receber, chutar, arremessar e rolar. Diferenças entre grupos e sexos foram analisadas com testes não paramétricos; o teste Qui-quadrado foi usado para identificar o percentual de crianças nos níveis desenvolvimentais das habilidades, em cada idade. As crianças de 5 anos foram superiores às de 3 anos no quicar, receber e escore total de controle de objetos; nas comparações entre crianças de 3 e 4, e 4 e 5 anos, a diferença ocorreu a favor das crianças mais velhas apenas no quicar e escore total. Os meninos apresentaram desempenho superior em cinco das seis habilidades e no escore total. Houve associação entre os mais avançados níveis desenvolvimentais e o sexo masculino para o escore total (aos 3 e 5 anos), e para as habilidades rebater e rolar (4 anos) e arremessar (aos 4 e 5 anos). Em geral, o desempenho dos pré-escolares nas habilidades de controle de objetos melhorou com o avanço da idade, evidenciando que o desenvolvimento motor é cumulativo e progressivo.
