Hypertension is an increase in blood pressure > 140/90 mmHg is the result obtained with two measurements. Hypertension can be prevented and controlled with non-medical and medical treatment, non-medical treatment including maintaining weight, regulating diet, avoiding alcoholic beverages and cigarettes and steeping rosella flowers. This study aims to see the difference in blood pressure in the control and intervention groups after giving Rosella flower water steeping. The method used is a quasi-experimental pre-post test with a control group of 36 respondents, using a purposive sampling technique to determine the sample, with the intervention group (given rosella flower steeping) totaling 18 respondents and the control group totaling 18 respondents. The data obtained were carried out by the Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney U statistical tests. Data analysis using the Wilcoxon statistical tests in the intervention and control groups showed sig 2 tailed = 0.000 and 0.248 and the Mann Whitney U statistical test showed 0.000 meaning that there was a difference in blood pressure in the control and intervention group respondents. after giving rosella flower steeping. Steeping rosella flowers can be used as an alternative non-drug therapy to control blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

Some reproductive characteristics in common donkey male (Equus asinus)-A mini review
Authors: AISSANOU Sofiane , BESSEBOUA Omar , AYAD Abdelhanine
Published: July 2022

In contrary to most domestic livestock species, the common donkey (Equus asinus) is widely known as an animal with a marked seasonality in reproductive activity .The annual cycle of daily photoperiod has been identified as the determining factor in the sexual activity. A synthesis of the particularities of donkey reproduction is important and constitutes a basis of scientific reflection for managing asine livestock farms and to establish a well conservation plan for the different breeds around the world. It is necessary to have a perfect knowledge of the seasonal physiological changes in order to optimize the reproductive characteristics in donkeys.The objective of this paper is to review the current state of knowledge on the reproductionseasonality in common donkey. We start with a remainder of some anatomical of the genital apparatus and sexual behavior aspects. Moreover, the investigations undertaken by many authors reveal the influence of the season on testicular biometry, histology, seminal and hormonal parameters in male donkeys’ populations. In conclusion, despite scientific controversy on reproductive seasonal character in donkeys, it could likely be influenced by several factors mainly the photoperiod.
TRANSCENDING TIME AND SPACE: TRAUMA NARRATION IN THE HARMONY SILK FACTORY
Authors: Hou Xia , Omar Noritah , Kaur Hardev , Bahar Ida Baizura , Fan Yingying
Published: July 2022

Tash Aw is the first renowned Malaysian writer who has brought Malaysian literature to the platform of the world. This paper uses the text, The Harmony Silk Factory(2005), by Tash Aw to investigate the relationships between traumatic memory and temporal-spatial narratives. The text utilises three narrators to tell the story of central silent character Johnny Lim, intermixing with their personal memories. We hypothesises that traumatic memories are correspondent to or characterised with special time and space arrangement of narratives. The article also frames its arguments according to the ideas proposed by Michael Toolan and Cathy Caruth, Toolan’s viewpoints about time and space in discourse and story; Caruth’s views on features of trauma. The frame of argument presupposed that circular temporal-spatial narratives have more similarities to traumatic memories than previously assumed. By analysing Jasper’s and Peter’s telling of Johnny’s experiences, the study strives to deepen the idea of chronotope arrangement being conducive to expression of traumas. The study concludes that traumas determine special arrangement of narratives, especially in the dimension of time and space, in turn, temporal-spatial narratives are to express traumas’ characteristics and even achieve some universal theme in literary works. The implication of the study allows us to view traumatic texts more objectively and deeply.
KEEPING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER IN ONE UNIT: A STUDY OF IRONY AS COMMUNICATIVE TOOL IN SELECTED SISAALA PERSONAL NAMES
Authors: Sanka Confidence Gbolo , Issaka Charity Azumi , Kofigah Francis Elsbend
Published: July 2022

This paper discusses the relevance of irony as a conduit for social commentary in selected traditional personal names in Sissalaland in Ghana. The research is motivated by the fact that names, apart from their communicative functions, are also intricate layers of verbal aesthetics all over the world. This article investigates, using the theory of ethnopoetics, the concepts of irony and culture, the ability of selected traditional personal names to comment effectively on attitudes, utterances or certain postures among the Sissalas in Ghana due to the irony embedded in them. By collecting a number of names purposively from Sissala land, and by using methods such as structured interviews, observation, and participating in five naming ceremonies, the researchers are able to subject selected ironic names to a critical analysis. The findings reveal that due to the verbal art embedded in these names, they constitute a unique platform for contributing sound advice, warnings, observations, and social commentary which are all conduits of communication that keep the community functioning as a unit. The names are able to function in this way due to the role and aesthetic quality of irony.
CONVERSATIONAL ANALYSIS ON THE INTERRUPTIONS OF MEN AND WOMEN IN MALAYSIA’S PODCAST
Authors: Syafillah Ameera
Published: July 2022

Speakers interrupt each other in a conversation to show their excitement and support, or to simply disagree and hog the floor. Interruption has always been viewed as a disruptive action that could ruin the conversation flow and always regarded as something that carries negative meaning. Many studies were conducted on interruptions in TV programs, casual conversation, and interviews. There were less study done on interruption involving mixed-gender in a podcast conversation, especially in Malaysia’s context. Hence, this study investigated the interruptions that occurred in a mixed-gender conversation. It also focused on the types and functions of interruptions that were used by both men and women in Malaysia's podcast conversation. This paper adopted a content analysis method, combining both quantitative and qualitative approach. A 48-minute episode of Mamak Session’s podcast were chosen to be analyzed. Two male and two females were chosen as the samples. The data was collected and analyzed by using Chera’s (2014) List of Types and Functions of Interruption. Overall, the data showed that there was no mutually exclusive relationship between the use of types and functions of interruptions. The data also revealed that men did more interruptions than women. However, women did more disruptive interruptions than men. This was considered as a significant finding as previous studies suggested that women were more nurturing and less competitive. Due to this, the women in this particular study exhibited competitive speech style rather than cooperative. In conclusion, men had proven that they interrupted more than women but women did more disruptive interruptions than men.
AUDITORY RECOGNITION IN BILINGUAL ARABIC/FRENCH VIA THE DICHOTIC LISTENING TECHNIQUE
Authors: Sassane Ali
Published: July 2022

The field of auditory recognition of words occupies an important place in cognitive psycholinguistics. The study of the processes and representations in the recognition of words is an extremely complex activity, which depends on the physical characteristics of the signal, the requested sensory method and the forms of organization in mental lexicon. The present study investigates the process of auditory lateralization by Arab/French bilingual subjects. The originality of this study is closely related to Arabic/French and diglossia situation in Algeria. Twenty-five bilinguals mix Arabic and French in their oral speeches, and another twenty-five French were selected in studying the process of lateralization. A dichotic listening technique used in sending two different words simultaneously to each of the ears was adopted, whereby every subject was asked to report what s/he perceived. The finding of the experiment showed more words were reported in the right ear regardless of language.
A PRELIMINARY DISCUSSION ON MALAYSIAN CHINESE LITERATURE STUDIES IN CHINESE MAINLAND: TAKING LITERATURES IN CHINESE AS AN EXAMPLE
Authors: Jiaqi Wang , Choon Bee Lim
Published: July 2022

In the academic circle in the Chinese mainland, Malaysian Chinese literature studies closely connect China with the world as a part of World Chinese-language literature. However, due to the isolation of the Chinese mainland from Malaysia after the Second World War, the interruption of thirty-year communication directly or indirectly led to some problems within academic circles in the Chinese mainland about studying Malaysian Chinese literature. Taking the journal of Literatures in Chinese as an example, this paper attempts to explore the focus and its underlying causes of the academic study on Malaysian Chinese literature in the Chinese mainland through data statistics and comparison. The following results were obtained: the low attention paid to the Malaysian Chinese literature studies, fewer relevant research journals with limited and single content, regionally weakened distribution of journals and authors from South to North and from East to West, and lacking experience and originality in the part of author teams.

Published: July 2022

Marriage plays an important role in the establishment of families, which are the basis of society. On the other hand, with the event happening of social changes, the perspective of marriage has changed, and the rate of marriage has gradually decreased. However, in most societies today, individuals are expected to marry. Thus, it is important to investigate attitudes towards marriage and related factors. This study discusses marital role expectations, which include thoughts of individuals about how they and their partners will behave in marriage. Marriage role expectations, in a sense, include their beliefs about what they will encounter in marriage, so it is thought that this may influence attitudes towards marriage. Accordingly, the main purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive role of marriage role expectations on the attitudes towards marriage. The sample comprised of 484 individuals over the age of 18 (70.2% female, 29.8% male, average age was 26.02, ±5.14). The findings of the study indicated that the proposed model significantly explained attitudes towards marriage (F(3,480)= 27.60, p

O Currículo Básico da Escola Pública do Paraná “pós-matemática moderna”
Authors: Portela Mariliza Simonete , Novaes Barbara Winiarski Diesel , Pinto Neuza Bertoni
Published: July 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é  compreender mudanças ocorridas no currículo de matemática de 1990, proposto para as escolas públicas do Paraná. Para tanto analisa, além do Currículo Básico, documento direcionador da educação no estado, publicado em 1990, duas propostas que em anos anteriores (1973 e 1979) foram sugeridas para o ensino de 1o grau, durante o período da matemática moderna. O Currículo Básico, de 1990, compreendia um ensino de 9 anos, da Pré-escola à 8ª série, no qual os conteúdos seguiam a abordagem histórico-crítica vigente no período. Nessa proposta, o conhecimento matemático, de caráter social, expressa uma aproximação entre a matemática e a realidade, que se distancia das anteriores, focalizadas na matemática moderna e na transferência de modelos para educação matemática que vinham de fora.  Os elaboradores do currículo de matemática de 1990, Carlos Alberto Vianna, Maria Tereza Carneiro Soares, Regina Luzia Cório de Buriasco e Regina Maria Michelotto, defendem a inter-relação entre números, operações, geometria e medida, considerando os avanços trazidos pela psicologia genética e corrigindo distorções de uma percepção parcial e estreita da visão piagetiana de comportamento em relação à concepção de atividade. A finalidade social da matemática deve estar vinculada a uma educação compatível com o mundo em que se vive.

Ensuring that the experiences provided by Extension, including those associated with the 4-H program, are impactful to participants is of paramount importance. To ensure the continued success and relevance of the 4-H program, it is crucial for practitioners to measure the impact of 4-H involvement and use these results to develop highly impactful programs. This study proposed and validated the Impacts of 4-H scale. The scale was developed based on previous research and literature review. Based on content, response process, and internal structure validation, a single factor consisting of eight items was proposed. The results of the study indicate the proposed scale may provide a valid and reliable measure to capture, quantify, and report the impacts associated with participating in the 4-H program. Additional recommendations for future research and practice are provided.
Reintegrating ex-combatants : an action research project in a Rwandan agricultural cooperative
Authors:   , Binenwa Jean Bosco Nsengiyumva
Published: July 2022

Post-conflict countries have a range of needs of interventions in the reconstruction efforts. These efforts require immediate, medium and long term interventions. DDR process require the immediate restoration of security which requires demobilization in the both the regular army and armed groups. Demobilized combatants need to be economically and socially re-integrated in their local communities. Therefore governments through demobilization commissions or programmes ensure that ex-combatant is re-integrated as matter of governments’ responsibility. In the specific case of this research, former members of armed groups from DRC and former RDF soldiers all members of an Agricultural cooperative based in Jabana (Kigali City) have been participants to this research which is by nature an action research project aiming most importantly on participation outputs oriented to learning. Before this project, economic, political, social and psychological dimensions among the ex-combatants were frustrating. However, after this project, the following were discovered: Economically, the approaches that have been used allowed ex-combatants to learn basic and necessary skills of creative entrepreneurship while working in corporate setting. Socially, this research discovered that the nature of research requires working in group settings in addition to personal and collective participation toward the attainment of the project’s objectives. Working in group settings is the social cohesion that originates from sharing common goals, interests, successes and failures if any. In addition, group members became best friends among themselves and relied on each other in time of need. At psychological level, ex-combatants have gained self-confidence, self-trust, and removal of past negative clichés that they used to hold against each other. Finally, in the implementation of this research, aspects of peace-building, together with unity and reconciliation and peace-building in its broad term has been witnessed from its outset to the concluding phase of the research. Recommendations were devised; some are formulated towards ex-combatants at individual level and others for RDRP.

pozornost je namenjena razumevanju države in demokracije, pri čemer članek v prvem delu problematizira prevladujoče geografske razlage države v politični znanosti,
ki jo še vedno omejujejo ali celo opredeljujejo zgolj kot geografsko razmejeno in nespremenljivo ozemlje. Opozorimo
na izgubo analitične ostrine v tovrstnih obravnavah
države, saj povsem spregledajo procese redefiniranja in
redistribuiranja države, ter s tem na procese njene de-/

država prisiljena prilagajati gospodarski dinamiki in ne

Abstract. The purpose of this study is to investigate the ability of the Sentinel-5P TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) to derive accurate geometrical features of lofted aerosol layers on a continental scale. Comparisons with ground-based correlative measurements constitute a key component in the validation of passive satellite aerosol products. For this purpose, we use ground-based observations from quality controlled lidar stations reporting to the European Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET). An optimal methodology for validation purposes has been developed and applied using the EARLINET optical profiles and TROPOMI aerosol products, aiming at the in-depth evaluation of the TROPOMI Aerosol Layer Height (ALH) product for the period 2018 to 2021 over the Mediterranean Basin. Seven EARLINET stations across the Mediterranean were chosen, taking into consideration their proximity to the sea, which provided 34 coincident aerosol cases for the satellite retrievals. In the following, we present the first validation results for the TROPOMI/S5P ALH using the optimized EARLINET lidar products employing the automated validation chain designed for this purpose. The quantitative validation at pixels over the selected EARLINET stations illustrates that TROPOMI ALH is consistent with EARLINET, with a high correlation coefficient R=0.91 (R=0.59) and a mean bias of −1.02±0.96 km (−1.46±1.57 km) over ocean and ocean/land pixels respectively. Overall, it appears that aerosol layer altitudes retrieved from TROPOMI are systematically lower than altitudes from the lidar retrievals. This work confirms that the TROPOMI ALH product is within the required threshold accuracy and precision requirements of 1 km. Furthermore, we describe and analyse three case studies in detail, one dust and two smoke episodes, in order to illustrate the strengths and limitations of TROPOMI ALH product and demonstrate the presented validation methodology.

Abstract. Global and regional sources and sinks of carbon across the earth's
surface have been studied extensively using atmospheric carbon dioxide
(CO2) observations and atmospheric chemistry-transport model (ACTM)
simulations (top-down/inversion method). However, the uncertainties in the
regional flux distributions remain unconstrained due to the lack of
high-quality measurements, uncertainties in model simulations, and
representation of data and flux errors in the inversion systems. Here, we
assess the representation of data and flux errors using a suite of 16
inversion cases derived from a single transport model (MIROC4-ACTM) but
different sets of a priori (bottom-up) terrestrial biosphere and oceanic
fluxes, as well as prior flux and observational data uncertainties (50
sites) to estimate CO2 fluxes for 84 regions over the period 2000–2020.
The inversion ensembles provide a mean flux field that is consistent with
the global CO2 growth rate, land and ocean sink partitioning of
−2.9 ± 0.3 (± 1σ uncertainty on the ensemble mean) and
−1.6 ± 0.2 PgC yr−1, respectively, for the period 2011–2020
(without riverine export correction), offsetting about 22 %–33 % and
16 %–18 % of global fossil fuel CO2 emissions. The rivers carry about
0.6 PgC yr−1 of land sink into the deep ocean, and thus the effective
land and ocean partitioning is −2.3 ± 0.3 and −2.2 ± 0.3,
respectively. Aggregated fluxes for 15 land regions compare reasonably well
with the best estimations for the 2000s (∼ 2000–2009), given
by the REgional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes (RECCAP), and all
regions appeared as a carbon sink over 2011–2020. Interannual variability
and seasonal cycle in CO2 fluxes are more consistently derived for two
distinct prior fluxes when a greater degree of freedom (increased prior flux
uncertainty) is given to the inversion system. We have further evaluated the
inversion fluxes using meridional CO2 distributions from independent
(not used in the inversions) aircraft and surface measurements, suggesting
that the ensemble mean flux (model–observation mean ± 1σ
standard deviation = −0.3 ± 3 ppm) is best suited for global and
regional CO2 flux budgets than an individual inversion
(model–observation 1σ standard deviation = −0.35 ± 3.3 ppm).
Using the ensemble mean fluxes and uncertainties for 15 land and 11 ocean
regions at 5-year intervals, we show promise in the capability to track flux
changes toward supporting the ongoing and future CO2 emission
mitigation policies.
Factors controlling atmospheric DMS and its oxidation products (MSA and nssSO42−) in the aerosol at Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica

Abstract. This paper presents the results of simultaneous high time-resolution measurements of biogenic aerosol (methane sulfonic acid (MSA), non-sea salt sulfate nssSO42-) with its gaseous precursor
dimethylsulfide (DMS), performed at the Italian coastal base Mario Zucchelli
Station (MZS) in Terra Nova Bay (MZS) during two summer campaigns (2018–2019
and 2019–2020). Data on atmospheric DMS concentration are scarce, especially in Antarctica. The DMS maximum at MZS
occurs in December, one month earlier than at other Antarctic stations. The
maximum of DMS concentration is connected with the phytoplanktonic senescent
phase following the bloom of Phaeocystis antarctica that occurs in the
polynya when sea ice opens up. The second plankton bloom occurs in January
and, despite the high dimethylsufoniopropionate (DMSP) concentration in seawater, atmospheric DMS remains low, probably due to its fast biological
turnover in seawater in this period. The intensity and timing of the DMS evolution during the two years suggest that only the portion of the polynya
close to the sampling site produces a discernible effect on the measured
DMS. The closeness to the DMS source area and the occurrence of air masses
containing DMS and freshly formed oxidation products allow us to study the
kinetic of biogenic aerosol formation and the reliable derivation of the
branch ratio between MSA and nssSO42- from DMS oxidation that is
estimated to be 0.84±0.06. Conversely, for aged air masses with low
DMS content, an enrichment of nssSO42- with respect to MSA, is observed. We estimate that
the mean contribution of freshly formed biogenic aerosol to PM10 is 17 % with a maximum of 56 %. The high contribution of biogenic aerosol to the total PM10 mass in summer in this area highlights the dominant role of
the polynya on biogenic aerosol formation. Finally, due to the regional and
year-to-year variability of DMS and related biogenic aerosol formation, we
stress the need for long-term measurements of seawater and atmospheric DMS and biogenic aerosol along the Antarctic coast and in the Southern Ocean.

Abstract. The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service has recently produced a greenhouse gases reanalysis (version egg4) that covers almost two decades from 2003 to 2020 and will be extended in the future. This reanalysis dataset includes carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). The reanalysis procedure combines model data with satellite data into a globally complete and consistent dataset using the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts’ Integrated Forecasting System (IFS). This dataset has been carefully evaluated against independent observations to ensure validity and point out deficiencies to the user. The greenhouse gas reanalysis can be used to examine the impact of atmospheric greenhouse gases concentrations on climate change, such as global and regional climate radiative forcing, assess intercontinental transport, and also serve as boundary conditions for regional simulations, among other applications and scientific studies. The caveats associated with changes in assimilated observations and fixed underlying emissions are highlighted, as well as their impact on the estimation of trends and annual growth rates of these long-lived greenhouse gases.
Net irrigation requirement under different climate scenarios using AquaCrop over Europe
Authors: Busschaert Louise , de Roos Shannon , Thiery Wim , Raes Dirk , De Lannoy Gabriëlle J. M.
Published: July 2022

Abstract. Global soil water availability is challenged by the
effects of climate change and a growing population. On average, 70 % of
freshwater extraction is attributed to agriculture, and the demand is increasing. In this study, the effects of climate change on the evolution of the irrigation water requirement to sustain current crop productivity are assessed by using the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) crop growth model AquaCrop version 6.1. The model is run at 0.5∘lat×0.5∘long resolution over the European mainland, assuming a general C3-type of crop, and forced by climate
input data from the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project
phase three (ISIMIP3). First, the AquaCrop surface soil moisture (SSM) forced with two types of
ISIMIP3 historical meteorological datasets is evaluated with satellite-based SSM estimates in two ways. When driven by ISIMIP3a reanalysis meteorology, daily simulated SSM values have an unbiased root mean square difference of 0.08 and 0.06 m3 m−3, with SSM retrievals from the Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity (SMOS) and Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) missions, respectively, for the years 2015–2016 (2016 is the end year of the reanalysis data). When forced with ISIMIP3b meteorology from five global climate models (GCMs) for the years 2015–2020, the historical simulated SSM climatology closely agrees with the satellite-based SSM climatologies. Second, the evaluated AquaCrop model is run to quantify the future
irrigation requirement, for an ensemble of five GCMs and three different
emission scenarios. The simulated net irrigation requirement (Inet) of the three summer months for a near and far future climate period (2031–2060 and 2071–2100) is compared to the baseline period of 1985–2014 to assess changes in the mean and interannual variability of the irrigation demand. Averaged over the continent and the model ensemble, the far future Inet is expected to increase by 22 mm per month (+30 %) under a high-emission scenario Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) 3–7.0. Central and southern Europe are the most impacted, with larger Inet increases. The interannual variability in Inet is likely to increase in northern and central Europe, whereas the variability is expected to decrease in southern regions. Under a high mitigation scenario (SSP1–2.6), the increase in Inet will stabilize at around 13 mm per month towards the end of the century, and interannual variability will still increase but to a smaller extent. The results emphasize a large uncertainty in the Inet projected

Abstract. Compound flooding is generated when two or more flood
drivers occur simultaneously or in close succession. Multiple drivers can
amplify each other and lead to greater impacts than when they occur in
isolation. A better understanding of the interdependence between flood
drivers would facilitate a more accurate assessment of compound flood risk
in coastal regions. This study employed the D-Flow Flexible Mesh model
to simulate the historical peak coastal water level, consisting of the storm
surge, astronomical tide, and relative sea level rise (RSLR), in Shanghai
over the period 1961–2018. It then applies a copula-based methodology to calculate the joint probability of peak water level and rainfall during historical
tropical cyclones (TCs) and to calculate the marginal contribution of each
driver. The results indicate that the astronomical tide is the leading driver
of peak water level, followed by the contribution of the storm surge. In the
longer term, the RSLR has significantly amplified the peak water level. This
study investigates the dependency of compound flood events in Shanghai on
multiple drivers, which helps us to better understand compound floods and
provides scientific references for flood risk management and for further
studies. The framework developed in this study could be applied to other
coastal cities that face the same constraint of unavailable water level
records.

Objective: To assess diagnostic accuracy of HRCT for COVID pneumonia keeping RT-PCR as reference standard. Study Design and Setting: A retrospective cohort study, carried out in of Radiology Department of KRL hospital, Islamabad from January 2021 to May 2021. Methodology: A total of 199 patients referred to Radiology Department for HRCT examination with clinical suspicion of COVID pneumonia were enrolled. Average age was 54yrs ± 14. PCR results of patients were retrieved from MIS. HRCT chest scan report assessed pulmonary involvement and categorized according to CORADS on a scale from 1 to 5. CT severity score was also assessed on 20-segment model for scoring. Statistical analysis was carried using SPSS software. Sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value and diagnostic accuracy were calculated. Results: The sensitivity was calculated to be 99.05%, the specificity was36.84%, the positive predictive value was 86.25%, the negative predictive value was 90.63% and diagnostic accuracy was 88.61%" For CORADS categories 1, 2 and 6, CT was in good agreement with the PCR results. Maximum numbers of patients were from age bracket 51-60 yrs. Correlation of gender with disease showed more prevalence in males and CTSS was not different in genders. Conclusion: HRCT chest has high sensitivity and negative predictive value for diagnosis of COVID pneumonia on the basis of CORADS reporting scheme. However it has low specificity. Disease has more prevalence in male gender. The most severely affected age bracket was 51-60 years.

Putting on a Fronto: Persona and Patterns of Language in Fronto’s Correspondence
Authors: Barrios-Lech Peter
Published: July 2022

The subject of this chapter is the language of letters exchanged between Fronto and correspondents, specifically those linguistic means by which Fronto and his epistolary correspondents construct a persona and maintain and negotiate relationships. Analysis of the frequency of (Latin to Greek) code-switches, the diversity, or range of unique, address-terms, letter openings and closings used, and the type and frequency of requests show how Fronto’s relationship with Marcus Aurelius changes over time; and offer us one way to measure differences in Fronto’s epistolary relationship with the other correspondents.
