Metaphor as an Ideological-Conveying Process in Panegyrics: The Ifẹ̀ and Ò̩yó̩ Ethnic Groups of Yorùbá in Perspective
Authors: Kugbayi Lateef Iyanda
Published: October 2024

Panegyrics, as a genre of oral literature, play a significant role in the social, historical and political systems of the Yorùbá people. Through the recitation of praise songs, panegyric reciters often seek to create awareness about the hegemonic status of the individuals or entities being praised. However, the ideologies expressed through the use of metaphor in these panegyrics are usually subtle and covert, thereby enabling the subtle manipulation of the praised individual(s). To uncover the subtle ways metaphors are constructed in panegyrics to serve various purposes, including the maintenance of unequal power relations, this paper examines the use of metaphor as a strategic linguistic device for conveying ideological messages in the panegyrics of the Ifẹ̀ and Ò̩yó̩ ethnic groups within the broader Yorùbá cultural context. It therefore evaluates how metaphor is employed in Yorùbá panegyrics to communicate ideological content in Ifẹ̀ and Ò̩yó̩ panegyrics. By shedding light on the covert ways metaphors are constructed in the panegyrics, the paper offers insights into how language can be strategically employed to maintain and perpetuate unequal power structures within a society. It also highlights the versatility of metaphor as a rhetorical device, capable of conveying complex ideological messages in a subtle and aesthetically pleasing manner, as evident in the Yorùbá panegyric genre. Keywords: Metaphor, Discourse, Critical Discourse Analysis, Ideology and Panegyrics
Investigating Asymmetric Relationship between Financial Development and Global Competitiveness in Developed and Developing Countries
Authors: Amjad Maida , Asghar Nabila
Published: October 2024

Globalization led to economic integration, which increased the competitiveness of economies through interconnection and interdependence. Financial Development (FD) is considered as an engine of Economic Growth (EG) that significantly contributes in economic productivity and raising prosperity in an economy. This study aims to analyze the relationship between FD and global competitiveness from a global perspective. For this purpose, panel data of 87 developed and 60 developing countries have been used for the period 2000- 2020. The Panel Quantile Regression (PQR) estimation technique has been used for the analysis. The results demonstrate that sustainable FD significantly increases the competitiveness of all countries. However, this impact is non-linear across different quantile groups which suggests evidence of an inverted U-shaped relationship. The linearized marginal effect indicates that all developed economies lie before the maturity of the inverted U-shaped curve. In contrast, except Bolivia, Cabo Verde, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Korea Rep of, Lebanon, Mongolia, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Siri Lanka, Tunisia, and Vietnam, all remaining developing nations also lie before the maturity of an inverted U-shaped curve. This indicates that FD accelerates global competitiveness up to a certain optimal point, and excessive financialization may lead to the misallocation of resources and raising financial risk. The study suggests that developing countries need to implement policies to attain optimal level of sustainable FD, which boosts their competitiveness. The major contribution of the present study is to help the policy makers to formulate proper policies to increase global competitiveness.
Responsive Hydrogels: Perspectives, Modelling, and Ongoing Efforts
Authors: Montenegro-Johnson Tom
Published: October 2024

Hydrogels are hydrophilic polymer scaffolds surrounded by adsorbed water. From a dry state, they are capable of swelling in volume by up to two orders of magnitude – becoming up to 99% water - whilst still remaining solid (if a little squishy).

Responsive hydrogels lose this affinity for water – sometimes quite profoundly – when an environmental stimulus, such as temperature or pH, transitions beyond a critical value. Conformational changes in the scaffold squeeze the water out, and the gel shrivels dramatically. This volume change is reversible (albeit non-reciprocal), allowing for cycles of activation and deactivation. As such, responsive hydrogels have important and exciting applications in microscale actuators.

This talk will describe some of the big open areas of hydrogel modelling, before detailing two (very) recent unpublished theoretical pieces of work on 1) thermoresponsive displacement pumps for microfluidic devices, and 2) coupling pH-responsive gels to oscillating reactions to enable communication and synchronisation.

This diversified therapeutic approach is designed to enhance patient quality of life and prolong survival, showcasing the progress in treatment modalities for individuals with gastric cancer and liver metastases.
Systemic treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma secondary to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Authors: Rzeniewicz Karolina , Sharma Rohini
Published: October 2024

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer death globally, with 15% of cases arising on a background of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD is a heterogenous condition ranging from fatty liver to cirrhosis and is itself a growing global problem, with estimated worldwide prevalence of 50% in 2040. Pathophysiology of NAFLD-HCC is not well understood, there are no dedicated screening programs, and there have been no clinical studies of anti-cancer treatments in this population specifically. However, the NAFLD-HCC population appears different than other aetiologies - patients tend to be older, diagnosed at more advanced stages, have more comorbidities, and overall worse prognosis. Understanding of best treatment options for this group of patients is an urgent unmet clinical need. This narrative review discusses NAFLD-HCC pathophysiology and systemic treatment, and offers suggestions for future directions in this therapy area.
Recent efficacy and long-term survival of Astragalus polysaccharide combined with gemcitabine and S-1 in pancreatic cancer
Authors: Li Guang-Yu , Jiang Jing
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND

Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor with a rapid progression rate and a high susceptibility to infiltration and metastasis. Astragalus polysaccharide (APS), a pure Chinese medicine preparation primarily made from the traditional Chinese herb Astragalus , plays a positive role in the treatment of many malignant tumors.

AIM

To explore the recent efficacy of APS combined with gemcitabine plus tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassium capsule (S-1) (GS) regimen in the treatment of pancreatic cancer and assess its effect on the immune function and long-term survival of patients.

METHODS

A total of 97 patients who were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and received GS chemotherapy at The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University (Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine) from March 2021 to December 2021 were included in the retrospective analysis. Among them, 41 patients received APS combined with GS chemotherapy, and 56 patients received GS chemotherapy only. The recent efficacy, immune function, adverse reactions, and long-term survival were compared among these patients.

RESULTS

After 4 cycles of treatment, the objective response rate of patients receiving the combined therapy of APS and GS was 51.22%, and the disease control rate (DCR) was 56.10%, higher than those of patients receiving the monotherapy with GS alone (30.36% and 35.71%, respectively). Besides, the percentages of CD3+ T cells (50.18% ± 9.57%) and CD4+ T cells (31.52% ± 5.33%) in the peripheral blood of patients receiving the combined therapy of APS and GS were higher compared with those treated with GS regimen alone [(44.06% ± 8.55%) and (26.01% ± 7.83%), respectively]. Additionally, the incidences of leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and fatigue in patients receiving the combined therapy of APS and GS were significantly lower than those in patients receiving the monotherapy of GS alone (17.07%, 9.76%, 31.71% vs 37.50%, 28.57%, 60.71%). Moreover, the median survival time of patients receiving the combined therapy of APS and GS was 394 days, significantly longer than that of patients receiving the monotherapy of GS alone (339 days) (hazard ratio (HR): 0.66; 95%CI: 0.45-0.99; P = 0.036). All these differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

The combined therapy of APS and GS improved the recent efficacy and long-term survival of patients with pancreatic cancer and alleviated chemotherapy-induced immune suppression and adverse reactions.

Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND

Intracranial epidermoid cyst (IEC) transformation to malignant squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is extremely rare, and its etiology is yet unknown. Currently, SCC is treated by performing surgery, followed by a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It is crucial to identify efficient and trustworthy therapeutic targets for SCC to improve its diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.

CASE SUMMARY

In this study, we report the case of a 47-year-old female patient with SCC, which progressed from IEC in the left internal capsule region. The patient was sought treatment at our hospital for severe diplopic vision, accompanied with speech disorder and memory loss. Based on the clinical and postoperative pathology, this patient was finally diagnosed with SCC. To identify disease-causing variants, whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on the proband. WES revealed two pathogenic missense mutations on Gap junction protein beta 2 (GJB2) (c.257C>T) and Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) (c.1039A>G), respectively.

CONCLUSION

This study provided the first clinical evidence for demonstrating the role of GJB2 and TLR2 in IEC development and treatment. We further confirmed WES as a robust and reliable technique for underlying rare and complex disease-related genetic factor identification.
Forough Farrokhzad’s “Let Us Believe in the Beginning of the Cold Season”
Authors: Pope Elizabeth Christine
Published: October 2024

Forough Farrokhzad’s “Let Us Believe in the Beginning of the Cold Season” is an exploration of the poetic form of an elegy, encountering nuances of gender, sexuality, mourning, depression, and unrequited love within the containment of religious and cultural laws that dominate leadership in the Islamic country of Iran. Her poetry extends traditional boundaries of lament and elegy to explore oppositions of love and longing, birth and death, seasonality versus time’s continuance, and winter as entrance rather than ending.
Ferdowsi’s Shāhnāma Narratives as Epic Episodes: A Case Study
Authors: Hillmann Michael Craig
Published: October 2024

The article begins with a recapitulation of attention to the Shāhnāma in America and proceeds to an overview of the Shāhnāma in the context of the epic species of narrative, with attention to Hamid Dabashi’s critique in The Shahnameh: The Persian Epic as World Literature of Western writing on world literature and Ferdowsi. The article also here reviews Amin Banani’s much reprinted essay first called “Ferdowsi and the Art of Tragic Epic.” There follow a suggestive list of Shāhnāma parts and a conclusion that, as a whole, it seems not to function as a single narrative, but rather as a collection of epic episodes. As an illustration, the article turns to the story of Rustam and Suhrāb. First comes a cursory American formalist analysis of “The Tale of Sohrab” in Shahnameh: The Persian Book of Kings translated by Dick Davis. Then comes a discussion of poetic features and effects in Mujtabā Mīnuvī’s edition called Dāstān-i [story of] Rustam va Suhrāb az Shāhnāma.
Special Topic on ‘Teaching Legal Writing’
Authors: Legal Education Review
Published: October 2024

The notion that there is a positive correlation between teaching and research has been challenged over the last three decades. Some studies have claimed that teaching and research are activities independent from each other. Other studies have found a negative correlation between the two activities. Consequently, the existence of a positive correlation between teaching and research cannot be taken as a given. This article contends that a positive correlation between teaching and research is possible, but it has to be constructed through the deliberate adoption of active strategies. Such a positive correlation is only possible with institutional support. The article examines the literature regarding the nexus between teaching and research and identifies the various arguments for and against the existence of a positive correlation between the two. The article then describes how a positive correlation between teaching and research can be deliberately achieved by clarifying the meanings of teaching, research and the relationship between the two. Lastly, the article proposes some active strategies that can be used to enhance the positive correlation between teaching and research within the discipline of law.

Published: October 2024

La humanidad durante su desarrollo reciente ha experimentado profundas transformaciones, que van demostrando lo impredecible y desconcertante que se presenta la interrelación humana, tanto dentro de la sociedad, como con la naturaleza. La sociedad en concordancia con la evolución de los progresos de la humanidad, ha superado diferentes procesos en los que dichos avances, han caracterizado a cada una de estas “revoluciones” o “sociedades”, de este modo se han presentado en este orden, una primera revolución o la revolución cazadora - recolectora, posteriormente una segunda, la agraria, luego una tercera, la industrial, seguida de la revolución de la llamada sociedad de la información, en la que nos encontramos actualmente; y estamos entrando a una quinta revolución concebida como “Sociedad 5.0”, una sociedad con visión-lógico informática; cuya visión del mundo es existencial o perspectivista. Esta nueva sociedad 5.0 o sociedad “superinteligente” está caracterizada por la transformación digital y el internet de las cosas (IoT) que permite acceder a una inconmensurable cantidad de datos (big data) muchas veces demasiado complejos para que el ser humano lo entienda, tratados imperceptiblemente por sistemas informáticos avanzados y algoritmos nuevos (IA), que se puede ver como una “distribución y mercantilización de capacidades” que proporcionan servicios nunca vistos, que impulsarán una era de innovación industrial y social. En este contexto, la investigación como eje vinculador y transformador de la sociedad, debe obligatoriamente repensarse; por lo que requiere de otro enfoque. Bajo esta realidad, diferentes autores presentan posibles soluciones a esta policotomía y se prevé la necesidad de generar nuevas actividades económicas que irán de la mano con el desarrollo de la tecnología, mientras que otras desaparecerán paulatina o abruptamente.

Authors: Rocha Nathalia Ferreira , Martins Liziane
Published: October 2024

A Educação em Saúde (ES) origina-se do encontro de duas grandes áreas de conhecimento e práticas, a educação e a saúde, que, via de regra, apresentam objetivos, conteúdos e metodologias distintas e próprias a cada uma delas. Por isso, este trabalho tem como objetivo identificar as metodologias de pesquisa em Educação em Saúde no ensino de Ciências/Biologia presente nas atas do ENPEC. Esse trabalho se caracteriza como uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, a partir de revisão integrativa da literatura.  A revisão se deu nas atas do ENPEC, de 2011 a 2021, na linha temática “Educação em Saúde e ensino de ciências”, onde foram encontrados 246 textos. Destes, 161 foram analisados, através da análise de conteúdo, que ocorreu em três etapas: análise flutuante dos textos; identificação das metodologias; e discussão. Os resultados mostram a prevalência de metodologias de pesquisa documental e bibliográfica de revisão sistemática da literatura.

The factors involving the management of rural properties go beyond merely productive issues as they involve generational aspects and gender issues. This study aims to analyze the socio-professional insertion of women in management and decision-making in various beef cattle farming plans in Brazil. The research took place in 2020, with 70 women, distributed across seven Brazilian states. Data were obtained through structured questionnaires consisting of open and closed questions, in intentional sampling, with quantitative and qualitative variables sent through a link to an online form via WhatsApp or E-mail, to people related to the researchers, or of the respondents themselves. The results show that 61% of the women in the sample are between 30 and 59 years old, half of them are married and 94% have a higher education degree. In relation to its production units, 84% belong to the family, while 63% are considered large. Regarding direct interference and decision-making power, 52% of cases stated that they always decide alone when it comes to purchasing inputs and animals, 56% in health management and 60% in reproductive management and genetic choice. When analyzing the management of establishments, it is clear that women are the main managers in 33% of cases while the father figure appears in 38% of decisions. Although higher than the national average (18.6%), as shown by data from the last Agricultural Census, the results showed that in this sample universe, women still occupy the supporting role in an eminently male agricultural sector. These results allow to conclude that although there have been significant improvements in more recent periods, women are still in the process of being inserted into culturally masculine activities, such as beef cattle farming, where the main tool for inclusion is educational level.

The purpose of the article is to compare the efficiency of using electro-pulse and ultrasonic mufflers for cleaning exhaust gases from internal combustion engines of automobiles. The authors have developed full-size stands for conducting experiments with both types of mufflers on gasoline and diesel engines. Experimental studies have shown that electro-pulse mufflers are more effective in reducing the smoke of diesel engine exhausts, while ultrasonic mufflers are promising for cleaning exhaust gases from solid particles of gasoline engines. In the electro-pulse muffler, at the considered values of the angular velocity of the engine, the smoke indicators of the gas decreased to approximately 30%, while in the ultrasonic one, to 15%. The changes in the mass of the sold particles in the ultrasonic muffler of a diesel engine and a comparison with a gasoline engine show that ultrasonic mufflers have a lot of potential to stop solid particles from forming in the gas flow. In particular, the mass of the precipitated particles in a gasoline engine is 3 times greater than in a diesel engine. The alternative mufflers studied in the article allow for the purification of exhaust gases from solid particles, reducing their negative impact on the environment and giving impetus to the development of environmentally friendly motor transport.

This study adopted a quantitative approach to explore learning adjustment in terms of the students’ perceived adjustments in teaching, cognitive and social presence in the community of inquiry (CoI) framework from face-to-face classroom to online learning, and then from online to blended learning in the case of a higher education institution in Hong Kong. The online CoI survey was conducted to collect data from a convenience sample of 212 participating students who experienced the transition from classroom to online learning, and then the transition from online to blended learning in the case of the higher education institution. Analysis of variance, pairwise comparisons, correlation and multi-group analyses were performed on the collected data. The analytical results indicated that the students perceived four adjustments in their CoI presences in the online classroom and blended learning.  (1)  Classroom learning exhibited the strongest CoI presence while online learning rendered the weakest CoI presence.  (2) Cognitive presence was the most important while social presence was the least important for learning.  (3) All correlations among the CoI presence were positive with large correlations in online and blended learning modes. (4) All the teaching, cognitive and social adjustments were positively and largely correlated. These findings provide implications for further studies on exploring the explanation for the student’s learning adjustment and investigating the learning improvement strategies for online education.

This article analyzes the factors that can influence employee performance at Regional Owned Enterprises (ROE), Klaten Regency, Indonesia. The factors tested in this research are the influence of religiosity, organizational culture, internal control, discipline, and incentives on employee performance. This research focuses on all active employees at Klaten Regency Regional Owned Enterprises (ROE). The sample in this study consisted of 110 respondents from various departments and various types of employees and was analyzed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) program. The results of this research indicate that the religiosity and incentive variables have no impact on employee performance. It can be said that the influence of religiosity will not be able to improve employee performance, and this research found that the problem of religiosity is a personal problem that is not related to work. Meanwhile, incentives are not able to boost employee performance because employees feel satisfied with what they have received. The variables of organizational culture, internal control and discipline, will significantly improve employee performance. So, this research provides implications regarding the importance of emphasizing a good organizational culture by management for all members of the organization as well as continuing to implement a good internal control system and not ignoring employee work discipline.
