La diffusion des rickshaws au Tchad, une réponse « par le bas » aux besoins de mobilité des populations urbaines ?
Authors: Mugelé Ronan , Tob-Ro N'Dilbé
Published: March 2023

Au Tchad, comme ailleurs en Afrique subsaharienne, les encadrements étatiques peinent à mettre en œuvre des politiques de transports efficaces et accessibles à une population en forte croissance, largement touchée par la pauvreté et en voie d’urbanisation rapide. Pour pallier ces manquements, le secteur privé est un recours fiable grâce aux ressources offertes par le transport artisanal. Après le succès bien connu des mototaxis ou « clandos », on assiste ces dernières années à la diffusion rapide d’un autre moyen léger, le rickshaw, qui est aujourd’hui utilisé dans la majorité des centres urbains. Cet article analyse la place actuelle du rickshaw dans le système des mobilités urbaines au Tchad. Il décrit les mécanismes de sa diffusion spatiale à l’échelle nationale, ainsi que les modalités de gestion et les représentations locales associées à ce nouveau moyen de transport, à travers principalement le cas d’Abéché.
La gouvernance de l’orpaillage clandestin dans les localités ivoiriennes frontalières du Mali et du Burkina Faso
Authors: Konan Kouamé Hyacinthe
Published: March 2023

Les débats sur l’orpaillage clandestin en Côte d’Ivoire ont été longtemps focalisés sur les dégâts d’ordre environnemental que cette activité engendre sur les milieux qui abritent les sites aurifères. Si le désordre spatial reste l’élément frappant lorsque l’on aborde les sites miniers, cette activité masque une logique de fonctionnement solide qui structure sa gestion. Au-delà de ce désordre apparent, l’orpaillage clandestin est très structuré et fonctionne à partir des mécanismes de régulation qui se basent sur l’application stratégique de normes qui se construisent aux marges des normes formelles. L’objectif de cette contribution est de faire la lumière sur ces mécanismes qui fondent la gouvernance de l’orpaillage clandestin. La méthodologie s’appuie sur des enquêtes de terrain réalisées dans les localités de Kalamon, Gôgô et Zanikahan situées respectivement dans les départements de Doropo, Téhini, Tingrela à la frontière du Mali et du Burkina Faso. Les résultats de cette étude montrent que les mécanismes qui régulent l’orpaillage clandestin sont certes instables, mais ils font des sites d’extraction artisanale de l’or des espaces gouvernés, bien éloignés de l’idée d’« anarchie généralisée » qui domine les discours sur l’orpaillage clandestin. Aussi, le choix des voies coercitives pour mettre fin à l’orpaillage plutôt qu’une gestion participative incluant les pouvoirs publics et les populations locales contribue à la création de ces zones de ‘non responsabilité’ où les opérateurs organisent l’exploitation des ressources minières sans répondre de ses conséquences.
Dessiner son terrain pour le ressentir
Authors: Lascaux Anne-Adélaïde , Rigaud Antoine
Published: March 2023

Alors que la pratique du dessin et de la bande dessinée sont des outils de plus en plus mobilisés par les chercheurs, ils restent souvent en marge de la démonstration scientifique. Cet article revient sur la collaboration que j’ai effectuée au cours de mon doctorat avec Antoine, un chercheur et dessinateur amateur. Ensemble, nous défendons l’idée que les productions graphiques sont des outils méthodologiques à part entière dans l’administration de la preuve. Le dessin et la bande dessinée permettent d’ajuster le curseur du chercheur sur les données qu’il souhaite mettre en avant, tout en préservant l’intégrité de son terrain. De plus, l’émotion émanant de ces œuvres, au croisement de l’art et de la science, est elle aussi un vecteur d’information sur un mode sensible.
Ações policiais de combate à Cannabis nas páginas do Diário de Pernambuco (1938-1981)
Authors: Da Rosa Lilian , Fraga Paulo Cesar Pontes
Published: March 2023

No Brasil, a proibição da Cannabis se consolidou em 1938, através do Decreto-Lei 891, e, desde então, essa planta é tema de debate em diferentes setores sociais. Apoiado nos conceitos de representação e de fonte histórica propostos pela Escola dos Annales, o artigo analisa as representações criadas pelo jornal Diário de Pernambuco em torno das ações policiais no combate à Cannabis entre 1938 e 1981. Através do método de clipagem, foram identificadas 2.926 notícias, das quais 636 traziam informações sobre a tentativa de erradicação dessa planta. O banco de dados formado pelas 636 notícias possibilitou a análise de aspectos sociais, políticos e econômicos, bem como o georreferenciamento das ações da polícia por meio da produção de um mapa. De modo geral, as análises dessas notícias sugerem que a destruição de plantios ilícitos e a apreensão de maconha pronta para o consumo eram uma das principais formas de combate utilizadas pelo Estado. Por fim, o artigo ainda identifica e discute quatro narrativas associadas às ações de combate: as grandes operações coordenadas, as pequenas batidas, as ações violentas e a política de orientação.

Published: March 2023

Obesity is a dramatically increasing disease, accompanied with comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Both obesity and OSAS per se are associated with systemic inflammation. However, the multifactorial impact of obesity, OSAS, and its concomitant diseases on the immunological characteristics of circulating monocytes has not yet been fully resolved. Monocyte subsets of 82 patients with obesity were analyzed in whole blood measurements in terms of the CD14/CD16 cell surface expression patterns and different monocytic adhesion molecules using flow cytometry. Plasma levels of adipokines adiponectin and leptin of all patients were evaluated and correlated with accompanying cellular and clinical values. Whole blood measurements revealed a significant overall redistribution of CD14/CD16 monocyte subsets in patients with obesity. Monocytic adhesion molecules CD11a, CD11b, and CX3CR1 were significantly elevated. The observed alterations significantly correlated with plasma leptin levels and diabetes status as crucial amplifying factors. The additive impact of obesity, diabetes, and OSAS on the immunological balance of peripheral blood monocytes requires a coordinated regimen in terms of therapeutic treatment, respiratory support, and weight loss to improve the systemic immunity in these patients.
Congenital penile curvature as a possible risk factor for the onset of Peyronie's disease, and psychological consequences of penile curvature
Authors: Paulis Gianni , Paulis Andrea , Perletti Gianpaolo
Published: March 2023

Objective: To investigate a possible relationship between a history of congenital penile curvature (CPC) and Peyronie's disease (PD), and to characterize the psychological profile of patients suffering from PD, with or without concomitant CPC.

Methods: We included 519 patients with Peyronie's disease (PD), of which 73 were found to have underlaying CPC. As a comparator population, we selected 2166 patients without PD, referring to our tertiary care clinic. In this population we detected 15 subjects with CPC. All patients completed the GAD-7 (Generalized-Anxiety-Disorder - 7 questions) and the PHQ-9 (Patient-Health-Questionnaire - 9 questions) questionnaires.
Results: The overall prevalence of CPC in PD-patients was 14.07%, compared to a prevalence of 0.69% in the non-PD control population (p < 0.00001). Moderate-to-severe anxiety was found to be present in 89.4% of all PD-patients.Significantly higher proportions of patients with CPC associated with PD showed severe anxiety, compared to patients with PD alone (57.5% vs. 36.7%, respectively, p = 0.0008). Moderate- severe depression was found to be present in 57.8% of all PD- patients. Significantly higher proportions of PD patients with a history of CPC showed severe depression, compared to patients with PD alone (13.6% vs. 3.36%, respectively, p < 0.0002). GAD-7 median scores were significantly higher in patients with more severe penile curvatures (> 45°; p = 0.029). We did not detect a statistically significant difference between PHQ-9 medi- an scores based on the severity of PD (p = 0.53). Analysis of PHQ-9 and GAD-7 median scores showed significantly worse depressive and anxious symptoms in younger patients(p < 0.001 and p = 0.0013, respectively).
Conclusions: The presence of congenital-penile-curvature may represent a risk factor for the subsequent onset of Peyronie's disease. Moderate/severe anxiety and moderate/severe depression were reported in a high fraction of cases. Anxiety was significantly higher in patients with more severe penile-curvatures, and depression was present independently of the degree of penile curvature. Depression and anxiety were found to be more severe in younger subjects.
Sicurezza ed efficacia nell'utilizzo di tourniquets improvvisati versus dispositivi commerciali nel controllo dell'emorragia massiva: una revisione della letteratura
Authors: Annese Federica , Tiraboschi Lorenzo , Mascioli Lisa , Sofia Diana Maria
Published: March 2023

Il costante incremento di eventi traumatici e conseguenti ferite penetranti in contesti civili suggerisce di porre attenzione all'utilizzo di dispositivi sicuri e funzionali per il trattamento delle emorragie massive degli arti. In Italia il tourniquet rimane uno strumento ancora poco utilizzato perchè considerato pericoloso ed erroneamente associato esclusivamente ad un contesto militare. Le recenti linee guida nazionali sul trauma incoraggiano invece il largo utilizzo in ambito civile quando la compressione manuale diretta e la medicazione emostatica è inefficace o non praticabile. Esistono due tipologie di devices: improvvisati (I-TQs) e confezionati (C-TQs). L'obiettivo di questo lavoro è volto a confrontare efficacia e sicurezza di I-TQs e C-TQs.
Effect of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on low back pain in patients with prolapsed intervertebral disc: A randomised controlled trial
Authors: Singh Girish K. , Talawar Praveen , Kumar Ajit , Sharma Ravi S. , Purohit Gaurav , Bhandari Baibhav
Published: March 2023

Background and Aims:

Prolapsed intervertebral disc (IVDP) is a major cause of low back pain. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as a viable option for these patients, with fewer adverse effects and long-term sustainability of pain relief. This double-blinded, randomised study aimed to evaluate the effect of autologous PRP on low back pain in patients with IVDP.

Methods:

A total of 42 patients with IVDP were randomised either to the autologous PRP (n = 21) group or control (epidural local anaesthetics with steroids; n = 21) group. Change in pain was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Impact of treatment was assessed using the Global Perceived Effect (GPE) scale. All the patients were followed up for six months. Data was compared using Chi-square, independent sample t, and Mann–Whitney U tests.

Results:

The two groups were similar in their demographic and clinical profile. The baseline mean NRS ± standard deviation (SD) was 6.91 ± 0.94 in the PRP group and 7.38 ± 1.16 in the control group (P = 0.099). At six months, the mean NRS ± SD was 1.43 ± 0.75 in the PRP group compared to 5.43 ± 0.75 in the control group (P < 0.001). The GPE score was also found to be significantly higher in the PRP group, compared to the control group in the final assessment (P < 0.001). During the course of the study, the PRP group showed a consistent decline in NRS, whereas the control group showed an initial decline followed by consistent increase in NRS.

Conclusion:

PRP provided sustained relief from low back pain due to IVDP and can be recommended as a safe and promising alternative to epidural local anaesthetics and steroids.

Published: March 2023

Background:

Patients' satisfaction in emergency departments (EDs) could be improved by providing estimates of the expected waiting time.

Aim:

The aim of this study was to determine waiting time and assess patients' satisfaction in EDs.

Setting and Design:

A descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out in Taif city included patients who come to EDs of three main hospitals throughout the period from mid-August to mid-September 2022 if they aged from 18 to 65 years.

Materials and Methods:

Data were collected through a pretested Arabic version of the Brief Emergency Department Patient Satisfaction Scale questionnaire.

Statistical Analysis:

Data were entered into the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 26 for Windows.

Results:

The study included 612 patients. Almost a quarter (23%) aged 25–34 years. Regarding satisfaction of patients with ED, the highest score was observed concerning physicians' care (4.31 ± 0.88) whereas the lowest satisfaction score was reported regarding arrival in reception (AIR) (3.57 ± 1.08). The highest score was observed among those who attended King Faisal Medical Complex (4.19 ± 0.74), whereas the lowest score was observed among those who attended Alhada Armed Forces Hospital (3.75 ± 0.91), P < 0.001. The highest score of satisfaction was observed among patients aged 65 years/above (4.08 ± 0.76), P = 0.041. Non-Saudi patients were more likely to be satisfied compared to Saudi patients (4.33 ± 0.77 vs. 3.89 ± 0.87), P < 0.001. Patients who did not read/write were more likely to be satisfied compared to educated patients (4.23 ± 0.83 vs. 3.89 ± 0.87), P = 0.001. The waiting time exceeded 2 h among 13.9% of patients. With decreasing the waiting time, the patients' satisfaction with ED was increasing, P < 0.001.

Conclusion:

The overall patients' satisfaction with ED was high; it was lowest regarding AIR. In addition, longer waiting time was associated with patients' dissatisfaction.
Severity and antibodies profile of seropositive myasthenia gravis
Authors: Alkhotani Amal M , Alrishi Nouf
Published: March 2023

Background:

Myasthenia gravis (MG), an autoimmune disease, affects the neuromuscular junction. The impaired neuromuscular transmission results in fatigable muscle weakness among MG patients. Positive antibodies are found among MG patients.

Aims:

The main aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation of MG severity with their anti-muscle-specific kinase (MUSK) and anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody status. Moreover, the study also identifies the correlation between the antibodies profile and the severity of a seropositive MG.

Setting and Design:

This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the tertiary center of the western region of Saudi Arabia named King Abdullah Medical City (Makkah) over 8 years, from January 2011 to December 2019.

Materials and Methods:

This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in Saudi Arabia in King Abdullah Medical City (Makkah) over 8 years, from January 2011 to December 2019 was reviewed. Seventeen patients out of 27 MG patients came out to be seropositive. The correlation was investigated between severity and antibody status.

Statistical Analysis:

Data were collected in an Excel sheet, and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 21 software.

Results:

The results showed that most patients (87.5%) were positive for AChR antibodies only, while others (12.5%) were positive for anti-MUSK and anti-AChR. Thymoma and crisis were observed in 100% with dual seropositivity and 21% with single seropositivity.

Conclusion:

The study concluded that a severely aggressive course of MG is present among patients. However, detailed clinical trial studies are required for conforming MG severity and dual seropositivity.

Authors: Takhar Rajendra Prasad , Saran Rama Kishan , Saran Sanya , Maan Lokesh , Bainara Mahendra Kumar , Purohit Gopal
Published: March 2023

Background:

Chest X-ray plays a vital role in diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) in HIV infection. These patients present with variable chest radiographic presentation, making diagnosis and treatment of TB notoriously challenging and increasing the risk of treatment failure, relapse, and even death.

Aims:

The objective of this study was to identify various radiological patterns of TB in HIV-TB-co-infected patients and to correlate with CD4 count.

Setting and Design:

This was an analytical cross-sectional study conducted in a tertiary care center in the southern part of Rajasthan, India.

Materials and Methods:

In our study, 110 consecutive patients with pulmonary TB-HIV co-infection were subjected to chest radiographs and evaluated for the types of lesion/TB; anatomical distribution, and type of radiological shadows. The findings were correlated with CD4 counts and sputum acid-fast bacilli (AFB) status. The main outcome measures were radiological shadows and their correlation with level of immune suppression. The sample size was 110 patients.

Results:

Patients of Group I (CD4 <200) had significantly more involvement of mid and lower zones than Group II (CD4 >200). Nodular shadow (54.1% vs. 46.9%), consolidation (28.4% vs. 25.0%), hilar lymphadenopathy (23.0% vs. 9.4%), and miliary shadow (9.5% vs. 3.1%) in Group I, while cavitation (25.0% vs. 20.3%) and pleural effusion (18.8% vs. 16.2%) were more frequent in Group II. In Group I, consolidation (44.8% vs. 17.8%, P = 0.012) while in Group II, both consolidation (46.2% vs. 10.5%, P = 0.038) and cavitation (46.2% vs. 10.5%, P = 0.038) were present in significantly higher proportion in AFB-positive cases.

Conclusion:

A wide spectrum of radiographic shadows in consonance with varying CD4 counts was observed in the study. Along with well-known atypical radiological findings, some features were present throughout spectrum of CD4 counts, indicating that TB should be considered in this group of patients with these radiographic presentations, regardless of CD4 count. The small study population, majority of the patients' already hospitalized indicating serious nature of illness. In addition, no prospective follow-up of the study population to identify over the time changes in radiological pattern.

Published: March 2023

Los bosques pantanosos de Temo-Pitra representan uno de los hábitats preferidos del Huillín (Lontra provocax), una nutria de río nativa en el centro-sur de Chile. Rodales boscosos de este bosque conviven actualmente con otras asociaciones vegetales productos de la degradación antrópica por pastoreo. Con el propósito de caracterizar la composición florística y la estructura de dichas unidades vegetales, se estudió el caso del humedal de Millahuillín ubicado en las cercanías de Máfil, provincia de Valdivia, región de los Ríos, Chile. Se trabajó con metodología fitosociológica levantando 51 censos de vegetación. En el humedal se determinó un total de 97 especies vegetales de las cuales, 52 son nativas y 45 introducidas. Se determinaron 5 asociaciones vegetales: Bosque de Temo-Pitra (Blepharocalyo-Myrceugenietum exsuccae), matorral de Zarzamora y Quil- Quil (Rubo-Blechnetum chilensii), pantano de Cortadera (Loto pedunculatii-Cyperetum eragrostidae), pradera de Junquillo (Juncetum procerii) y pradera de Chépica (Loto pedunculatii-Agrostietum capillariae), de las cuales el bosque es primario y el resto, secundarios y terciarios. Se concluye que la biodiversidad tanto florística como vegetacional del lugar ha aumentado, pero con especies alóctonas y asociaciones secundarias y terciarias que no corresponden al paisaje natural, lo cual restringe la función de la vegetación como hábitat seguro para Lontra provocax.

S ciljem očuvanja bioraznolikosti, obavljena je inventarizacija samonikle vaskularne flore tijekom vegetacijskog perioda 2021. godine. Istraživano je područje od 30 km2 koje se odlikuje kontinentalnom klimom u neposrednoj blizini sliva rijeke Une. Ustanovljeno je 276 biljnih svojti unutar 167 rodova i 60 porodica. Najzastupljenije porodice su Poaceae (7,25 %) te Fabaceae i Lamiaceae (6,16 %). U spektru životnih oblika dominiraju hemikriptofiti (51,80 %) i fanerofiti (15,58 %). Prema IUCN-ovom kategorijama ustanovljeno je osam ugroženih vrsta te šest strogo zaštićenih vrsta od čega je samo jedna endemična vrsta (Helleborus atrorubens Waldst. et Kit.). Također je utvrđeno šest alohtonih invazivnih vrsta. Rezultati ovog istraživanja prilog su poznavanju ukupne flore Hrvatske, ali su također važni za praćenje stanja biološke raznolikosti područja Trgovske gore koje dosad nije bilo temeljito istraživano.
Three new alien species in the flora of Croatia
Authors: Hohla Michael , Nikolić Toni
Published: March 2023

During field research in 2022 in the area of Kvarner and Istria, the spontaneous appearance of three non-native species (Catalpa ovata, Oenothera lindheimeri, Salvia hispanica) outside the area of primary cultivation was observed. These species are ornamental plants, food plants or part of the park dendroflora. It seems that these species appear as casual, but monitoring in the next years will show whether their naturalization will be successful.

Efectos de un programa de entrenamiento aeróbico en el tiempo de reacción y la metilación de ADN del gen SHANK3 en niños con trastorno de espectro autista: un estudio piloto
Authors: Hernandez Sandoval Erika Yolanda , Alvis-Gómez Karim-Martina , Arboleda Granados Humberto , Concha-Mera Ana-Gabriela
Published: March 2023

Introducción: El trastorno del espectro autista (TEA) es un trastorno del neurodesarrollo que provoca déficits en áreas cognitivas y motoras y es causado por varios mecanismos, entre ellos la regulación epigenética. Los procesos epigenéticos pueden verse influenciados por factores ambientales como el ejercicio físico.
Objetivo: Analizar el efecto de un programa de ejercicio físico aeróbico (EFA) en el tiempo de reacción simple (TRS) y la metilación del ADN de la isla 2 del gen SHANK3 en niños con TEA. 
Materiales y métodos: Estudio cuasiexperimental realizado con un grupo de 9 niños (7-11 años) con TEA, que participaron en un programa de EFA de 10 semanas. Las diferencias en el TRS y la metilación de ADN fueron analizadas mediante la prueba de Kruskall-Wallis, considerando un nivel de significancia de p<0.05.
Resultados: La mediana del TRS disminuyó después del programa de entrenamiento. Sin embargo, no se encontró una diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p=0.53). Se observó un patrón de hipermetilación en 11 de los dinucleótidos, tanto antes como después del entrenamiento, y se encontró una diferencia estadísticamente significativa en la posición CpG108 (p=0.032).
Conclusión: Un programa de entrenamiento basado en EFA de intensidad moderada a vigorosa tiene el potencial de modificar el TRS y la metilación del ADN en niños con TEA. No obstante, es necesario realizar nuevos estudios con muestras más grandes y en los que se analicen más genes, para corroborar los resultados aquí descritos y fortalecer el conocimiento sobre el efecto del ejercicio en los procesos epigenéticos de esta población.

Authors:   KONSTANTIN PRESLAVSKY UNIVERSITY OF SHUMEN, FACULTY OF NATURAL SCIENCE, SHUMEN 9712,115 UNIVERSITETSKA STR., Boycheva Maria
Published: March 2023

130 patients (66 male and 64 female) suffering from Melanoma maligna are studied. The connection between the illness and the blood group affiliation according to the ABO systems and the Rh. factor is traced. Most of the patients belong to 0 blood group (39,23%), followed by A (23,25%), B (19,38%) and AB (18,14%) group. The significance of group O (p<0,05) and AB (p<0,001) is considerable. The results show a considerable decrease in the percentage of A group (p<0,05) and of the negative Rh. factor (p<0,001). On the basis of the results obtained we can admit that belonging to 0 and AB groups and the positive Rh factor appear to be a part of the hazardous factors for the illness Melanoma maligna and its development.

Today, the generation of digital data is easier than it has ever been. These are the so-called digitally born products – documents, images, audio and video recordings, software, e-books, digital models, maps, etc. They are more and more widely employed nowadays in a variety of fields, such as business, science, art, education, digital communications, national security, intelligence service, military science, etc. Their global application has brought forth the need for their being reliably protected and has made it an issue of paramount importance in the modern world of information. This necessity has imposed the fast development of two contemporary sciences - cryptography and steganography. The present report treats one of the recent variations in the development of steganography - digital steganography, suggesting a universal idea for its application to all types of digital products.
WÖRTERBÜCHER ZWISCHEN ÜBERSETZUNG, WORTSCHATZLERNEN UND DIDAKTIK. EINE UNTERSUCHUNG ZUR WÖRTERBUCHBENUTZUNG DER GERMANISTIKSTUDIERENDEN IN SERBIEN
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Philology and Arts, Vujčić Nikola D.
Published: March 2023

The aim of this article is to discover the habits and preferences of Serbian students of the German language and literature regarding the use of dictionaries by means of a survey, in order to underscore the consequences and implications for university teaching. The survey revealed a clear picture: most German language students possess deficient lexicographic skills since they display undifferentiated lookup performance in the selection and use of dictionar- ies, often missing the respective target and purpose. In view of these findings, the paper made proposals for a curricular restructuring that attempts to do justice to all three main areas of study and the corresponding professional profiles (practical language training, translation, GFL-methods/didactics).
IDIOSTIL KOLUMNI MOMA KAPORA U VODIČU KROZ SRPSKI MENTALITET
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Education in Jagodina, Spasić Jelena
Published: March 2023

The subject of analysis is the idiostyle of Momo Kapor’s columns published in the book entitled Vodič kroz srpski mentalitet. The author’s individual discourse style of columns is a collection of specific expressive means which distinguish the language of Momo Kapor from other Serbian writers. Communicative, stylistic, verbal and cognitive style of M. Kapor reflects the author’s personality and his perception of the world. We have isolated and analyzed stylis- tically marked usage of linguistic devices in order to show the characteristics of Kapor’s com- municative, stylistic, verbal, and cognitive style. Kapor’s communicative style in the analyzed columns is informal and he uses jargon and colloquial phraseology in order to transform the genre of column. In Vodič kroz srpski mentalitet Kapor performs a kind of painting with words by developing descriptions through different types of repetition, antithesis, metaphorical epi- thets, metaphor, comparisons, personification, and antonomasia. The linguostylistic analysis shows that the peculiar structural organization of the discourse of the analyzed columns is achieved through the use of cumulation, syntactic parallelism, which is sometimes enhanced by anaphora, the use of epiphonemes and antithesis.

In order to examine the students’ point of view, whether the online exam in the subject Translation from German to Serbian can be applied as an effective way of assessment of knowl- edge and skills, an empirical study was conducted at the Faculty of Philology and Arts, Uni- versity of Kragujevac. The online exam was carried out through Moodle by using a screen recording program instead of proctoring services. The results of the evaluation of the online exam presented in this paper are based on the results of the author’s pre-study. Unlike the pilot phase described in the pre-study, the exams of the students (n=58) were graded by the examiner and a more comprehensive survey was created for the needs of the research. The survey was analysed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results show that the participants generally have a positive view of the e-exam, regardless of the grades. However, they believe that a way should be found to prevent cheating, to solve possible technical problems (e.g. the Internet, recording program, etc.) and to reduce anxiety and fear. As the most useful aspects of the online exam, they highlight the possibility of using e-dictionaries and search engines which are not available to them when they take an exam on site. Furthermore, they appreciate the fact that they have more time for proofreading and trying out different translation tech- niques. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the students’ experience is mostly posi- tive regarding various aspects of the implementation of the online exam during the COVID-19 pandemic and that the online exam can be recommended as an effective tool for assessing translation knowledge and skills, if e-cheating prevention measures are to be taken.

Authors:   University of Belgrade, Faculty of Philology, Bakaluca Jelena
Published: March 2023

The aim of this descriptive, non-experimental research is to highlight certain characteris- tics of writing a lesson plan, significant for students of French - future French language teach- ers, as a new text type which is being compared to writing genres students are already famil- iar with, especially with a commanding-instructive one. The conceptual framework for the research is provided by French for specific purposes, a specific branch of French as a foreign language, i.e. by the disciplines that contributed to its development – text linguistics and dis- course analysis. In order to achieve the set objectives, the standard procedure within French for specific purposes was applied – a linguistic analysis of the relevant material: a lesson plan preparation model in a glottodidactic journal Le Français dans le monde, two textbooks used for future French language teachers education (Écrit et gestion du tableau: de la compréhen- sion à la production; Oral et gestion du tableau: de la compréhension à la production) and one teacher handbook (Club@ados 4). The research results show certain enunciating, graphic and linguistic characteristics, for example: the absence of enunciator’s hints; the usage of on as a pronoun, the usage of impersonal constructions, infinitives, nouns, the passive voice; the usage of the imperative and ’the near future’ in instructions, as well as the usage of certain connectors and professional terms, graphic highlighting in the text plan and schematic pres- entation of the whiteboard, etc. The conclusion is that the numerous elements students should pay attention to, demand both the preparation phase, which activates their ethnolinguistic competence, and the careful planning of the gradual introduction into the lesson plan writing techniques.

Authors: Alves da Silva Isabelle , Nhanharelli Juliana de P. , Fonseca Vanessa U. da
Published: March 2023

Primary hypoadrenocorticism or Addison’s disease is an endocrinopathy involving glucocorticoid deficiency, commonly associated with mineralocorticoid deficiency. The most commonly used treatment for hormone replacement involves the combination of fludrocortisone and prednisone. Deoxycorticosterone pivalate (DOCP) has been shown in the literature to be superior in electrolyte control in patients with hypoadrenocorticism, and should always be associated with prednisone/prednisolona. In this study, we report the benefit of DOCP and the two-stage dose adjustment protocol for this drug in 2 different cases. There was superior efficacy in electrolyte control and reduction of side effects with the DOCP and prednisolone protocol compared to the use of fludrocortisone in both patients.

An analysis of the documentation of wild animals received by Cetras/IEF from Patos de Minas, MG, Brazil, during the year 2020 was carried out, obtaining data on the origin of animals, release and death rates, permanence in captivity and data on clinical conditions at the arrival. During the period, 1,306 animals were received, 86.9% of which were birds. The most common form of admission was apprehension by competent authority (36.1%), followed by voluntary delivery (33.2%) and collection in urban/rural areas (30.8%). Of the total, 44.3% animals were reintroduced, 39% died, 10% remained at Cetras until the end of the period and 6.7% were destined to other institutions. Injured animals and offspring had a mortality rate of approximately 50%. It is observed that the voluntary delivery has increased and almost equaled the apprehensions. The reintroduction rate is considered satisfactory in relation to similar institutions.

As China gradually enters the era of mass tourism, people's tourism consumption demand has changed from low-level and focusing on sightseeing to high-quality, diversified and leisure vacations, which puts forward more requirements for the deep, connotational and high-quality development of tourism. Given that the research on language landscape in tourism is still relatively insufficient, this study tries to investigate the construction of the language landscape in the Juguo ancient city in Shandong Province from the perspective of the tourism language landscape in China. The study found that the language signs in the scenic area are mainly monolingual signs, supplemented by bilingual and trilingual signs; There are three languages in the scenic spot, Chinese, English and Korean, among which Chinese is the priority code, while English and Korean are marginalized codes in the scenic spot language landscape. The management department of scenic spots plays a decisive role in constructing language landscapes, but the business operators have not yet realized the economic value of language landscapes. There are problems in constructing the tourism language landscape in scenic spots, such as insufficient construction of a diversified language landscape, non-standard translation of language signs, and lack of design sense and characteristics of signs. In the future, scenic spot management departments should pay attention to the value of language landscape construction, meet the multilingual needs of tourists, highlight the style and characteristics of language landscape, and regularly carry out language landscape investigation and updates.

This study aims to determine the effect of using the flipped classroom learning model assisted by mobile technology on the learning outcomes of Infantry Officer School of Indonesia Marine Corps students about reading maps. Officer graduates are required to have a good understanding of the concepts in each topic related to assignments. The ability to read maps is a top priority that must be mastered by the marine corps in war military operations. Time allocation in class is not enough for mastering the concept of map reading. It takes more time to master the material for the soldiers. The use of mobile technology provides access for Marine Corps students to additional study time online. The research method used is quasi-experimental or quasi-experimental using t-test data analysis techniques. The research design used a static group comparison design. Comparing the two groups that were taught using the flipped classroom model assisted by mobile technology and the conventional model. The subjects of this research were 133 students of Marine Corps Officer Formation Education at the Advanced Stage (Sargolan) who were divided into two groups, namely the experimental group of 67 students and the control group of 66 students. The findings in this study indicate that students who are taught with the flipped classroom model assisted by mobile technology obtain a better average learning outcome score. The flipped classroom model with the help of mobile technology is very suitable for Marine Corps Officer Formation Education students at the Advanced Class Basic Stage (Sargolan).
