Authors: Shanmugam Jaya Kumar , Teoh Ai Ping  , Ramayah Thuraisamy
Published: June 2022

Research on e-commerce in Malaysia is developing, especially amongst the manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as it includes questions about the adoption of business-to business (B2B) e-commerce. Manufacturing SMEs accounted a large portion of gross domestic product (GDP) and SMEs exports. Previous scholars from the developed countries had conducted several research on these issues compared to the developing countries, especially Malaysia. The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) was used to measure the company’s performance from four different perspectives. Strategic agility as a moderator should be attributed to the adoption of B2B e-commerce to improve business performance. Strategic agility plays a vital role in technological change, which can improve business performance. The study obtained detailed information on the respondents through the 49th edition of the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) Industry Directory. Three hundred and eighty-one Malaysian manufacturing SMEs participated in this study. The collected data used the online survey methods and Smart Partial Least Squares Analysis (SmartPLS) under the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The BSC’s point of views include that financial, customers, internal processes, and learning and growth had a significant impact on the adoption of B2B e-commerce. The results showed that strategic agility governed the relationship between B2B e-commerce and internal processes.

Published: June 2022

Развитие цитопенического синдрома при хронических заболеваниях печени, сопровождающихся портальной гипертензией (ПГ), многие исследователи связывают со спленомегалией. Статья посвящена изучению зависимости гиперспленизма (цитопенического синдрома) от величины спленомегалии и уровня портальной гипертензии, а также тяжести поражения печени при внутри- и внепеченочной блокаде портального кровообращения. Анализ проведен у 25 детей, страдающих внепеченочной ПГ и 46 детей с внутрипеченочной блокадой портального кровообращения, находившихся на стационарном лечении в возрасте от 3 до 14 лет. Развитие цитопенического синдрома у детей как с внутри-, так и внепеченочной формой портальной гипертензии не зависит от величины спленомегалии. Есть основание полагать, что цитопения, развивающаяся у детей с портальной гипертензией и спленомегалией, в большей степени связана с поражением печени и внутрипеченочной блокадой портального кровообращения, а также уровнем портальной гипертензии.

Limitaciones en el uso del aula invertida en la educación superior
Authors: Mercado López Emma Patricia
Published: June 2022

Los organismos de relevancia internacional recomiendan la incorporación de nuevos modelos educativos, entre ellos, está el aula invertida. El aula invertida es un nuevo modelo educativo que puede ayudar a mejorar los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje, a través de las tecnologías educativas (TE). La literatura especializada del aula invertida señala que existe investigación empírica sobre la percepción de que el alumnado tiene del aula invertida. Sin embargo, se necesita investigación sobre las limitaciones que puede presentar el aula invertida al ser aplicado en diferentes contextos. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar las limitaciones que se pueden presentar al aplicar el aula invertida a un grupo en un contexto de clases tradicionales. Se llevó a cabo un método fenomenológico hermenéutico. El aula invertida se desarrolló con el método del ciclo de desarrollo de excelencia educativa. Participó un grupo de la asignatura de Parasitología, de la Licenciatura de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia, Facultad de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro. Los resultados analizaron cuatro principales limitaciones. Estas son: 1) En el aula invertida el alumno necesita tener conocimiento de algunas TE; 2) Si se aplica a alumnos receptores-memorizadores les puede parecer inapropiado el modelo; 3) El aula invertida no fomenta en su totalidad la competencia de memorización; 4) No cuenta con un modelo o instrumento adecuado de evaluación. En conclusión, antes de aplicarse el modelo del aula invertida se deben considerar las limitaciones para que, realmente, pueda ayudar a mejorar los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje y proponerse modelos de evaluación adecuados.

Published: June 2022

Ante la pandemia provocada por el Covid-19 las instituciones de educación superior buscaron alternativas para continuar con sus actividades en casa. En este documento, se describe el caso de las y los estudiantes de maestría de una universidad pública que durante cuatro semanas trabajaron en línea. Estos estudiantes son profesionales de la educación, en su mayoría profesorado de educación básica que simultáneamente trabaja en línea con su propio alumnado. El estudio pretendió conocer a qué dispositivos digitales tienen acceso y cómo los usan combinados en las sesiones del posgrado para construir un artefacto de inscripción. Para ello, primero se aplicó un cuestionario vía Formulario Google a una muestra de 35 estudiantes que mostró los dispositivos electrónicos más frecuentes, los usos más comunes y las diversas combinaciones entre ellos. También se transcribieron 12 horas de clase en línea por medio de chat, de una docente de posgrado con seis de sus estudiantes. Se seleccionaron cuatro fragmentos de trascripción para analizar la constitución de actores-red, las trayectorias recorridas por las referencias del contenido que se pretendía aprender y los planos en que se utilizaban las inscripciones. En los resultados, destaca el papel de la experiencia previa de los estudiantes, su participación y la posibilidad de que los aprendizajes logrados impacten su práctica profesional.

Caracterización de la ciberviolencia de género en jóvenes universitarios: reflexiones sobre su impacto en otras violencias
Authors: Domínguez Arteaga Rosa Amelia
Published: June 2022

La ciberviolencia de género es aquella que se perpetra a través de tecnologías digitales para ejercer dominio sobre la mujer y hacia otras personas o grupos sociales. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue explorar las experiencias de ciberviolencia de género en jóvenes universitarios. Asimismo, y desde la identidad del ciberagresor, reflexionar de qué manera esta violencia puede estar afectando las relaciones en los círculos sociales de las víctimas. Metodológicamente, se aplicó a una muestra de jóvenes universitarios, una encuesta con dos escalas tipo Likert que constaban de 23 ítems cada una, misma que describía las agresiones sufridas y presenciadas en ambientes digitales, propuesto por la literatura especializada y cuya base teórica es el patriarcado. Los resultados evidenciaron la presencia de ciberviolencia de género en más de la mitad del grupo abordado, principalmente como observadores. Las conductas perpetradas se relacionaron en su mayoría, con la violencia por manifestar posiciones anti patriarcales, demostrando la existencia de sexismo y estereotipos en el espacio virtual en el que interactúan los jóvenes. El análisis de la ciberviolencia de género permitió vislumbrar cómo otras violencias están presentes: ciberviolencia de pareja, ciberviolencia familiar y ciberbullying. Además, se dio cuenta de que este tipo de violencia virtual puede estar avivando la violencia física o presencial.

The Rhetoric of Chronicity

Special Issue Editors' Introduction, Rhetoric of Chronicity
Patients as Researchers
Authors: Singer Sarah
Published: June 2022

This article considers how scientists and other researchers frame and integrate online patient registry data into their work. In the case of rare chronic conditions, online patient registry data extend the geographic boundaries that limit research involvement and make efficient use of limited federal funding for research. Through a rhetorical analysis of peer-reviewed journal articles, which I evaluate as artifacts, I show how a selection of them seek to recognize patients’ labor through traditional acknowledgements and provide tangible benefits to patient communities. At the same time, the proliferation of online patient registries and lack of publications suggests that patients’ labor is often overlooked and disregarded. This work reveals how online patient data registries change our understanding and approach to researching chronicity. I conclude by offering ethical considerations for rhetoricians who choose to use and publish data from these registries.

Published: June 2022

In terms of extension and flora, the cerrado is the second largest Brazilian biome, which harbors native fruit species that produce fruits with different characteristics, attractive colors, and exclusive flavors, such as baru. However, the uncontrolled and unsustainable exploitation of resources in this biome has been a cause of great concern worldwide. In view of the importance and productive potential of baru, breeding programs should characterize its fruits and seeds in seedling formation by univariate and multivariate analyses and frequency histograms. This study describes an experiment laid out in a completely randomized design with seven populations of baru from the south and southeast regions of the state of Goiás, Brazil. Five replicates were used, totaling 35 experimental plots, with 15 fruits per replicate. For estimated 100-fruit weight, estimated 100-seed weight, and pulp thickness, the populations of Caldas Novas and Bom Jesus stood out with the highest means for some of the evaluated traits. As for frequency intervals, the population of Caldas Novas showed the largest amplitude for seed length, whereas the Edéia population exhibited the greatest amplitude for seed width. In the analysis of the fruit, the population of Caldas Novas showed the largest amplitudes for both length and width. After genetic dissimilarity analysis, the UPGMA clustering method grouped the Caldas Novas and Bom Jesus populations into one group and the others into another. The highest correlation indices observed were between 100-fruit weight and 100-seed weight (87%) and between seed length and fruit length (86%). Clustering based on the k-means method resulted in two groups formed: one comprising the populations of Caldas Novas, Aloândia, and Bom Jesus the other the remaining populations.
Optimizing the Physical & Social Environment Within Hospitals for Patients with Dementia: a Systematic Review
Authors: Reich Caitlan D. , Lyons Hannah , Holroyd-Leduc Jayna M.
Published: June 2022

BackgroundAs the population ages, the number of individuals living with dementia is increasing. This has implications for the health-care system, as people living with dementia are hospitalized more frequently and for longer periods. Because patients living with dementia are at increased risk for adverse events during admission, understanding how the acute care physical and social environments influence their outcomes is impera-tive. Thus, the objective of this review was to identify studies that modified the physical and/or social environment in acute care in order to improve care for hospitalized patients living with dementia.
MethodsMEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL databases were used to search for articles up to and including June 2021. PRISMA guidelines were followed. Two independent reviewers as-sessed citations and full texts against the following inclusion criteria: patients living with dementia/cognitive impairment, presence of a control group, and evidence of clinical or health systems outcomes. All published English-language articles meeting inclusion criteria were retrieved.
ResultsFollowing the database search, 12,901 citations were retrieved with 11,334 remaining after duplication removal. Of these, 15 papers met inclusion criteria. Seven studies evaluated the physical environment (e.g., addition of electronic sensor alarms and environmental cues). The remaining studies evalu-ated specific programs (e.g., art, music, exercise, volunteer engagement, and virtual reality). The majority of studies were low to very low quality; only three studies were RCTs. Environmental cues may initially improve wayfinding, and exercise may reduce neuropsychiatric symptoms.
ConclusionsAlthough there are several interventions, there is a lack of high-quality evidence available to determine what exactly needs to be incorporated into acute care settings to reduce adverse outcomes for patients with dementia.
Levels of Medical Intervention and End-of-Life Practices in Long-Term Care Centres
Authors: Leclerc-Loiselle Jérôme , Gendron Sylvie , Côté Andréanne , Daneault Serge
Published: June 2022

BackgroundLevels of medical intervention (LMI) are legal documents in which physicians record patient preferences, or those of their designated substitute decision-makers, concerning end-of-life care. Studies suggest that, although LMI are intended to orient clinical practice, their function tends to be limited to logistical aspects of care. How LMI shapes or guides patient-centred, end-of-life care remains unclear. The aim of this study was to examine possible associations between LMI and certain aspects of end-of-life care practices in LTCC, such as nurse-documented patient experiences of pain, and prescription and administration of medication.
MethodsA retrospective descriptive study of 100 files retrieved from a clinical database of deceased patients in LTCCs located in an urban integrated health and social service organization in Québec, Canada, was conducted.
ResultsSignificant associations between last documented LMI and frequency of narcotic prescription and administration, at either regular intervals or PRN, are highlighted. The time delay between last LMI assessment and patient death was one week or less for 39.4% of cases.
ConclusionThese results suggest that LMI assessment practices may not correspond to their intended use. A short time frame between last LMI (L-LMI) assessment and patient death may suggest less-than-optimal patient comfort in end-of-life care.
The Critical Discourse Analysis in the Persuasive Language of Hotel and Fast-Food Restaurant Advertisements
Authors: Huseynova Nigar , Amani Bahman , Taghiyev Ilham
Published: June 2022

This research study attempts to analyze persuasive techniques in the hotel and fast-food restaurant advertisements in terms of critical discourse analysis techniques. Research on persuasiveness has been popular for a long time, studied as the art of speaking and features of rhetoric. Linguists have never stopped in their quest to find out what linguistic elements create persuasive effects and impact human brains to convince people about something. The research aimed to reveal what techniques were widely used in advertisements to catch customers’ attention and persuade people to purchase the products. The study was conducted based on the qualitative-quantitative method, and the data was collected from the official pages of different famous hotels and fast-food restaurants. For investigation, 50 slogans, 25 from hotels’ and 25 from fast food restaurants’ advertisements, were analyzed based on “verbal techniques” and “power words techniques.” The results of the study point to the comparative analysis of hotel and fast-food slogans, and they are represented with the help of charts and diagrams in statistical numbers. In the conclusion of the research, it became clear that the most frequent verbal technique used was the “we are different and unique” technique, and the most frequent vocabulary types were the “abundance words” and “confidence words” type of words.
The manifestation of grammatical deficit in the speech of the Azerbaijani-speaking monolingual Broca’s aphasics
Authors: Sharifova Sabina , Kuhi Davoud , Abbasova Milana
Published: June 2022

This research explores how Broca’s aphasia manifests itself in Azerbaijani-speaking monolingual patients. Many patients are in need of customized diagnosis tests and rehabilitation plans designed by neurolinguists and this work is the first step. As Azerbaijani aphasics are among the underrepresented populations in the field, the paper explores the main grammatical deficits in their speeches. This paper tests the findings against the most popular theses and hypotheses in the area to see if a language with a typologically different structure from English aligns with them. It also aims to uncover the universal and language-specific deficits in the participants to create a pioneer characterization of Azerbaijani aphasia. To fulfill this aim, 10 participants with mild aphasia have been involved in 15-30 minutes’ interviews where their speeches were recorded with a high-quality microphone. Special tasks targeting Azerbaijani grammar have been developed for this purpose. The recordings have been transcribed and analyzed to estimate the frequency and quality of deficits. The results show that there are more morphological errors than syntactic ones which can be explained by a low cue cost of Azerbaijani syntax. The results were also contrasted to secondary data of English-speaking patients as this is a typologically polar language to Azerbaijani. The comparison has shown a vital role of language-specific features in aphasia. Furthermore, vulnerability and resistance patterns of grammatical forms in Azerbaijani patients supported the Competition model. Interestingly, the most recent and popular PADILIH theory has not been supported by the data set presented in the work. These findings are unique as they play an indispensable role in developing the first diagnosis and rehabilitation batteries for Azerbaijani-speaking aphasia patients.
Impact of Colonialism on Environment: A Socio-Ecological Study of Twilight in Delhi
Authors: Akram Mian Muhammad , Zaidi Najia Asrar
Published: June 2022

Massive devastation of indigenous social ecology was envisaged during the colonial expansion in almost all parts of the world since the 16th century. This colonial craze resulted in the exploitation of the natural resources of the colonial territories, which leads to environmental degradation. The alarming consequences of economic expansion including depletion of the ozone layer, air pollution, loss of forests and biodiversity, extinction of animal and plant species, loss of marine life, water and soil pollution have occurred at an alarming rate. Substantial destruction has greatly affected the global environment in the shape of global warming, urbanization, and massive industrialization among other grave issues. Modern intelligentsia and academia give rise to environmental consciousness through multiple campaigns including the celebration of “Earth Day”, the emergence of environmental activist organizations like “Friends of the Earth”, “Earth First”, “Sea Shepherd” and the formation of “Association for the Study of Literature and Environment ASLE” in America, the vis-à-vis start of Environmental studies and Ecocriticism at universities all over the world. Soon it prospered into further interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary fields of studies, in addition to the environmental campaigns activated across the world.

The first-line treatment is phenazopyridine, an over-the-counter medication for dysuria that historically has been known to cause methemoglobinemia. This report details the case of a patient presenting to the emergency department (ED) with methemoglobinemia.
Case Report: A 66-year-old woman with a complicated medical history presented to the ED with anemia and hypoxia after extended use of phenazopyridine for treatment of ketamine-induced ulcerative cystitis. She was found to have methemoglobinemia secondary to phenazopyridine used to treat her ketamine-induced ulcerative cystitis, a previously undocumented sequelae of chronic ketamine use. She was admitted to the hospital for three days and made a full recovery.
Conclusion: This case highlights the need to suspect ketamine-induced ulcerative cystitis in patients who use ketamine chronically and be judicious in the use of phenazopyridine for symptom management to prevent life-threatening complications.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: Ruptured ectopic pregnancy is one of the leading causes of maternal death. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has been shown to be highly sensitive for excluding ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy after a hysterectomy is a rare but life-threatening occurrence. We present a case where POCUS helped to diagnose a post-hysterectomy ectopic pregnancy.
Case report: A 36-year-old female with a prior surgical history of hysterectomy without oophorectomy presented to the emergency department with lower abdominal pain. A POCUS revealed free fluid in the right upper quadrant with an unremarkable gallbladder. Subsequently, the pelvic POCUS noted free fluid as well as a heterogeneous structure in the right adnexa. The clinician ordered a serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin level, which was 173.2 international units per milliliter (lU/mL) (negative: < 5m IU/ml). Transvaginal ultrasound revealed a right adnexal echogenic structure with surrounding vascularity and moderate, complex free fluid suggestive of hemorrhage. Given the concern for possible ectopic pregnancy, obstetrics took the patient to the operating room where a right tubal ectopic pregnancy was confirmed.
Conclusion: A ruptured ectopic pregnancy is a life-threatening condition that requires rapid diagnosis. Ectopic pregnancy post hysterectomy is an uncommon occurrence infrequently considered in the differential diagnosis of lower abdominal pain, leading to considerable delays in diagnosis. Although uncommon, emergency clinicians must consider this diagnosis in female patients with lower abdominal pain.

La Glossa sobre l’Ave Maria molt devota del Natzaré: transmissió textual, collatio subjacent i edició crítica
Authors: Martos Josep Lluís
Published: June 2022

Resum: Els textos llatins cantats de la litúrgia i les pròpies oracions o pregàries acaben generant una tipologia diversa de poemes en llengua romanç que en depenen, bé amb certa literalitat o bé a través del mecanisme de la glossa. En una certa simbiosi, de benefici mutu, hem d’entendre la necessitat de considerar en paral·lel l’estudi del text original i del poema resultant. D’una banda, l’oració llatina és el text subjacent d’un poema que la glossa i que, per tant, funciona com a hipotext i té valor ecdòtic en la reflexió filològica: aquest treball defineix aquest mecanisme crítico-textual com a collatio subjacent. D’una altra banda, el text llatí és també inestable, presenta variacions, més encara perquè aquest tipus d’oracions no queden completament fixades fins ben entrada l’Edat Moderna. Del propi poema en llengua romanç, per tant, es pot conéixer la textualitat de la seua font llatina i, d’aquesta manera, es pot reconstruir també l’estadi textual d’aquesta. Aquest article estudia i edita una glossa poètica manuscrita de l’Ave Maria, per a la qual cosa analitza l’edició del segle xix que la transmet i identifica la seua font manuscrita antiga.Paraules clau: Ave Maria, poesia, cançoner, glossa, Marià Aguiló, Natzaré, Pere Vilaspinosa.Abstract: The sung Latin texts of the liturgy and the prayers themselves end up generating a diverse typology of poems in the Romance language that depends, either with a certain literalness or through the mechanism of the gloss. In a certain symbiosis, of mutual benefit, we have to understand the need to consider the study of the original text and the resulting poem in parallel. On the one hand, the Latin sentence is the underlying text of a poem that glosses it and, therefore, functions as a hypotext and has ecdòtic value in philological reflection: this work defines this critical-textual mechanism as an underlying collatio. On the other hand, the Latin text is also unstable, it presents variations, even more so because this type of sentences are not completely fixed well into the Modern Age. From the poem itself in the Romance language, therefore, the textuality of its Latin source can be known and, in this way, the textual stage of the source can be reconstructed. This article studies and edits a manuscript poetic gloss of the Ave Maria, for which it analyzes the 19th century edition that transmits it and identifies its ancient manuscript source.Keywords: Ave Maria, poetry, cançoner, gloss, Marià Aguiló, Natzaré, Pere Vilaspinosa.
Una lauda per Maria Maddalena nell’inedito laudario di tradizione ligure-piemontese di Agostino Perrone, frate in Provenza (ms. Béziers, CIRDÒC - Mediatèca occitana, 913)
Authors: Del Savio Michela
Published: June 2022

Riassunto: Si dà notizia del ms. Béziers, CIRDÒC - Mediatèca occitana, 913, fino ad oggi mai stato oggetto di studi (ma in Brunel 1935, n. 250). Il manoscritto contiene, oltre a preghiere in provenzale, latino e francese, anche un piccolo laudario di tradizione ligure-piemontese: la raccolta tramanda testi condivisi con molti dei già noti laudari dell’Italia nord-occidentale, con fortissima somiglianza con i due provenienti da Finale Ligure (Orlando 1984 e Meliga 1992). Una lauda per Maria Maddalena sarà l’occasione per osservare l’appartenenza del testo alla menzionata tradizione. Palabras clave: laudario, Liguria, Provenza, confraternite, plurilinguismoAbstract: MS Béziers, CIRDÒC - Mediatèca occitana, 913, which has never been studied until now (but in Brunel 1935, no. 250), is the focus of this contribution. The MS contains, in addition to prayers in Provençal, Latin and French, a small laudary of Ligurian-Piedmontese tradition: the collection hands down texts that also appear in many of the already known laudaries of north-western Italy, with very strong similarities to the ones from Finale Ligure (Orlando 1984 and Meliga 1992). A lauda for Mary Magdalene will be an opportunity to observe the belonging of the text to the mentioned tradition. Keywords: laudary, Liguria, Provence, confraternities, multilingualism

Foreign experience of tax regulation of self-employment
Authors: Pianova Marina
Published: June 2022

The article examines and structures the foreign experience of taxation and state regulation of informally employed individuals. The object of the study is the practice of state regulation of the activities of the self-employed in a number of foreign countries. The subject of the study is tax and special legislation regulating the activities of self-employed citizens in Asia, Europe, North and South America, etc. The uncertainty of the legal status of the self-employed as a new category of taxpayers is revealed in scientific and specialized literature, the general features of the definition of the concept of "self-employed" in Russian and foreign practice are indicated. The specifics of taxation of self-employed persons in a number of foreign countries are considered, as well as the tools used for additional regulation of the activities of this category of taxpayers, such as licensing and certification, civil liability insurance, etc. Special attention is paid by the author to structuring the studied foreign experience and highlighting common country features, such as the procedures for registering the self-employed, the absence of a limit on the maximum possible income, the need for certification and licensing, participation in the social insurance and liability insurance system, the presence or absence of preferential taxation, additional support programs, etc. The novelty of the research consists in a broad review and systematization of the experience of foreign states in the areas of state regulation identified by the author: non-interference; general rules of taxation and additional regulation; special taxation. The author's approach to identifying the main scenarios of state regulation of self-employment may be of practical interest for the development of domestic practice.

Published: June 2022

Work-related road accidents are estimated to con-tribute to at least one quarter to over one third of all work-related deaths. Changing the vehicle has a major impact on traffic safety. Some studies have shown that drivers’ knowledge and practical driver training can improve traffic safety when changing vehicles. The aim of this paper is to determine whether there is an impact of the vehicle change on traffic safety. The research was conducted at the location with cylinders, braking coeffi-cient sensors, and brake pedal force detector, as well as with ten different passenger car brands and types. At the time of the research, all cars were registered and used daily in traffic. Prior to the research, the precision of the measuring instruments at the research site was checked. On the basis of the results, it can be concluded that there are two significant factors: the vehicle and the driver who needs to be trained before starting to drive a new ve-hicle. When changing the vehicle brand and type within the company, it is necessary to conduct systemic training of drivers which would include theoretical and practical parts and involve at least braking, driver distraction, and active and passive vehicle safety.
