Poetics of Titles: Some Observations on Literary Translations from Russian into Italian
Authors: Remonato Ilaria
Published: July 2022

The present article is devoted to the poetics of literary titles and their manifold meanings and functions in literary works. Due to their formal, stylistic and/or semantic characteristics, titles represent one of the most challenging and controversial elements in literary translations. In fact, they often refer to specific cultural aspects, idiomatic expressions or realia coming from the original linguistic context, which are not so easy to reproduce in translation with the same effects. Moreover, in some cases, editors or publishers prefer to propose specific titles slightly or consistently different from the originals for “marketing” strategies. Starting from Gerard Genette’s (1930-2018) seminal study on the topic, we will focus on some titles of Italian translations of Russian literary works of the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries, aiming to analyse the reasons underlying different choices. We will also propose reflections on the complex intertextual and cross-cultural dynamics connected to literary titles’ history and their translation processes.

Diclofenac sodium is one of the commonly used therapeutic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; notwithstanding, diverse adverse effects are clearly described. In humans, vitamin C is an essential nutrient that is ubiquitously a water-soluble electron donor with biological characteristics. To a greater extent, it has been widely recognized not only as an antioxidant but also as a specific co-factor in patho-enzymatic processes and reactions. This study investigated the effect of vitamin C on the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of juvenile mice exposed to Diclofenac sodium. Thirty juvenile mice were randomly assigned into 5 experimental groups; control, saline-treated, vitamin C treated, Diclofenac sodium treated, and vitamin C + Diclofenac sodium. Histochemical, immunohistochemical, stereologi-cal, and quantitative neurochemical studies were respectively, employed to assess the effect of vitamin C on Diclofenac sodium-associated neurological damage. Results showed that the histoarchitectural profile of the mPFC was well preserved in the control, saline, vitamin C, and vitamin C + Diclofenac sodium treated groups compared with the Diclofenac sodium treated group. Exposure to Diclofenac sodium during elicited significant glutamate level reduction in the mPFC. Furthermore, co-administration of vitamin C + Diclofenac sodium significantly decreased (p<0.05) glutamate level compared with the Diclofenac sodium-treated group. It could be concluded from this study that vitamin C conferred neuroprotective effect on the mPFC of the juvenile mice exposed to Diclofenac sodium.

Introduction: With the global outbreak of Zika virus and its association with microcephaly, an up-to-date fetal head circumference (HC) nomogram is crucial to offer a reference standard in order to make an accurate diagnosis. This study was conducted to revise the local fetal HC nomogram. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, ultrasound data was used for construction of the fetal HC nomogram from a total of 6155 pregnancies in the ethnic Chinese population with low risk profile at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital over a 10-year period. Regression model was fitted to calculate the mean and standard deviation of HC at each gestational age (GA). Comparison of HC between ethnic groups (no significant differences) and genders were made. The revised chart was compared with another commonly used reference chart (Hadlock). In an independent test population, different reference charts were used to estimate number of cases with microcephaly. Results: A statistically significant difference of HC between the genders was observed across all gestational ages. Gender-specific reference charts and equation were computed. Our revised fetal HC chart showed a different distribution from the Hadlock chart. Compared with the gender-specific charts, the Hadlock HC chart would significantly under-report microcephaly cases in male fetuses, and tend to over-report in female fetuses. Conclusion: This study provides a new set of gender-specific fetal HC charts in the Singaporean population for antenatal ultrasound surveillance of microcephaly.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire is a 26-item questionnaire that evaluates 4 domains of quality of life (QoL), namely Physical, Psychological, Social Relationships and Environment. This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the WHOQOL-BREF among Singapore residents aged 21 and above. Materials and Methods: We recruited participants from the general population by using multistage cluster sampling and participants from 2 hospitals by using convenience sampling. Participants completed either English, Chinese or Malay versions of the WHOQOL-BREF and the EuroQoL 5 Dimension 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaires. Confirmatory factor analysis, known-group validity, internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) and test-retest reliability using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were performed. Results: Data from 1316 participants were analysed (Chinese: 46.9%, Malay: 41.0% and Indian: 11.7%; 57.5% men, mean standard deviation [SD, range] age: 51.9 [15.68, 24 to 90] years); 154 participants took part in the retest in various languages (English: 60, Chinese: 49 and Malay: 45). Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) was 0.919, 0.913 and 0.909 for the English, Chinese and Malay versions, respectively. Standardised root mean square residual (SRMR) was 0.067, 0.074 and 0.094, respectively. Cronbach’s alpha exceeded 0.7 and ICC exceeded 0.4 for all domains in all language versions. Conclusion: The WHOQOL-BREF is valid and reliable for assessing QoL in Singapore. Model fit is reasonable with room for improvement.

Predictors and Moderators of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder: An Investigation of Anxiety Sensitivity and Resilience in Individuals with Chronic Pain
Authors: Lies July , Lau Shi Ting , Jones Lester E , Jensen Mark P , Tan Gabriel
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Anxiety sensitivity has been proposed as a psychological vulnerability factor for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Studies have also supported the protective role of resilience for overcoming the negative effects of trauma exposure. Given the linkages between anxiety sensitivity, resilience, trauma exposure and post-traumatic stress, this study explored the potential moderating roles of anxiety sensitivity and resilience on the association between trauma history and PTSD symptoms in a sample of individuals with chronic pain. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 patients with chronic pain were recruited from a large public hospital. Patients who had pain lasting for more than 3 months and a pain intensity rating of at least 4/10 were included. The study participants were administered measures of PTSD symptoms (PTSD Checklist – Civilian Version), resilience (Brief Resilient Coping Scale) and anxiety sensitivity (Anxiety Sensitivity Index). Results: An analysis of outcome measures indicated that anxiety sensitivity and resilience were independently associated with PTSD symptoms, where βs were 0.57 and -0.23, respectively. The relationship between trauma and PTSD symptom severity was also moderated by anxiety sensitivity. Trauma history was associated with higher PTSD symptom severity only in those with high anxiety sensitivity. However, contrary to the hypotheses, resilience did not serve as a moderator. Conclusion: There are potential benefits of PTSD interventions that increase resilience and decrease anxiety sensitivity in individuals with chronic pain, especially for those who have experienced a traumatic event. Given that the presence of PTSD symptomatology in chronic pain populations negatively impact patient well-being, it would be important for clinicians to assess, monitor and treat PTSD in individuals with chronic pain.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Age-related physiological changes predispose older road users to higher mortality from traffic crashes. We aimed to describe the injury epidemiology of these patients, and explore the association between the comorbidity polypharmacy score (CPS) and outcomes. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study utilised data from the Trauma Registry in the National University Hospital, Singapore, between January 2011 and December 2014. Patients involved in traffic crashes aged 45 years and above with injury severity scores (ISS) of 9 and higher were included. Results: There were 432 patients; median age was 58 (interquartile range, 51 to 65.5) years with predominance of male patients (82.2%) and Chinese ethnicity (66%). Overall mortality was 9.95%, with lower odds associated with higher Glasgow Coma Scale (odds ratio [OR] 0.73; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.65 to 0.81, P <0.001), higher diastolic blood pressure (OR 0.98; 95% CI, 0.97 to 1.00, P = 0.031), and lower ISS of 9 to 15 (OR 0.10; 95% CI, 0.02 to 0.43, P = 0.002). The need for blood products was associated with higher mortality (OR 7.62; 95% CI, 2.67 to 21.7, P <0.001). CPS did not predict mortality. Independent predictors of discharge venue included length of stay, tier of injury and CPS group. Moderate CPS was statistically significant for nursing home placement (OR 10.7; 95% CI, 2.33 to 49.6, P = 0.002) but not for rehabilitation facility. Conclusion: CPS score is useful in predicting discharge to a nursing home facility for older patients with traffic crashes. Further larger studies involving other trauma types in the Asian population are needed to evaluate its utility. Key words: Elderly, Motor vehicle crashes, Trauma severity indices

Published: July 2022

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate secular trends in the prevalence of myopia over 6 decades (from the 1920s to 1980s) in Chinese adults in Singapore. Materials and Methods: Parental myopia prevalence was estimated using a parent-completed questionnaire in paediatric cohorts that included: 1) The Singapore Cohort Of Risk factors for Myopia (SCORM), 2) The Strabismus, Amblyopia and Refractive Error in Singaporean Children (STARS), and 3) The Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Outcomes (GUSTO). Published estimates for myopia prevalence from 5 adult studies in Singapore were reviewed. Secular trends in the prevalence of myopia were correlated with changes in the education system. Results: The prevalence of parental myopia in SCORM (n = 2943), STARS (n = 4938), and GUSTO (n = 1072) was 47.8%, 53.4%, and 73.4%, respectively; corresponding calendar years these parents might have started schooling were 1966, 1973, and 1983 (born in 1960, 1967, and 1977), respectively. Mean age of parents was 41.3, 40.1, and 33.4 years, respectively. Prevalence of myopia in adult studies in persons who started elementary school in 1928, 1934, 1938, 1939, 1942, 1948, 1952, 1958, 1962, 1972, 1982, and 1995 were 36.4%, 39.7%, 30.0%, 31.5%, 33.0%, 26.4%, 32.5%, 48.7%, 39.4%, 52.0%, 82.2%, and 85.9%, respectively. Conclusion: During the past few decades, the prevalence of myopia increased rapidly, especially in persons who started elementary school after the 1980s (born after 1970). The education system was expanded after Singapore’s independence in 1965, and the new education system was introduced in 1978. These changes, together with increasing intensive schooling, may have contributed to the increase in myopia prevalence. Key words: Education, Refractive error, Secular trend

Published: July 2022

This study aims to investigate the impact of parental divorce on children’s character development in a city in Indonesia. This used a case study qualitative method. Data was collected through direct observation, and in-depth interviews with divorced parents, children, and religious court staff. Written materials were also analyzed to find out the divorce cases handled at the city religious court. This study found that the causes of divorce are included economic limitation, domestic violence, betrayal, and longer conflict. The impact of the divorce on children’s character development included unstable children’s emotions, such as stress and mental pressure, dropping out of education, decrease children’s confidence and a lack of trust of the children to their parents. However, this study also found that the divorce also caused a positive impact on the children’s character in which the children become more independent and stronger in their lives. We suspect the divorce might have caused some children to build positive perceptions from their painful life. As such they take it as a positive life experience and then caused them to become more stronger and independent. Future research should focus on why some children perceive their parent’s divorce as a negative experience, while others accept it as a positive life experience and use it as a factor to be independent and stronger.
Minorities in social and state structures: reflections on the Sikh community of Swat, Pakistan
Authors: Qadir Altaf
Published: July 2022

The Sikh community of Swat has been living in the area since their migration from Hazara in the 19th century. They lived peacefully though dealt with as clients of the Pukhtuns of Swat till 1969 when it was merged with Pakistan. Under the 1973 Constitution, they are equal citizens of Pakistan, however, the practice may not be as prescribed by the State. There are citizens and social forces too, that work alongside state institutions. The post-9/11 militancy has affected the entire region and Swat remained a hotbed of militancy for more than a decade. The paper looks into the status of the Sikhs living in Swat, their economic and social opportunities, the threats that they have faced as well as their perception of their status. The Sikh community of Swat was approached, and a few questions were put before them which were frankly responded. Despite serious threats to the state and society at large, the Sikhs of Swat were not tortured by the militants which indicate that militancy was not an indigenous move. Though a few families migrated from the area but returned to Swat after a couple of years because they were not happy in the ‘other’ social structure.
Incidental Stigmatisation?
Authors: Sukalla Freya , Karnowski Veronika
Published: July 2022

More and more individuals turn to apps to increase their well-being or reduce stress, with meditation apps being most popular to achieve these goals. However, considering the underlying normative imperative of idealised self-help inherent in the well-being app market, concerns have been raised that these apps and how they are promoted on the app market might contribute to the stigma of mental illness. To explore these potential detrimental effects we conducted a pre-registered experimental survey study (N = 249) examining whether (1) the emphasis on individual responsibility for one’s well-being in the text describing the app in the app market and (2) the lack of a disclaimer that the app is not a replacement for medical treatment increase both the stigmatisation of individuals with depression and self-stigmatisation. While our findings did not support our a priori hypotheses, further exploratory analyses uncovered more complex relationships between our experimental factors, respondents’ age and prior experiences with mental illness, and stigmatisation and self-stigmatisation. We, therefore, call for future empirical investigations to better assess the risk of incidental stigmatisation through how well-being apps are promoted in the app market.

Authors: Hati Getar , Pratama Ari Lazuardi
Published: July 2022

The aging group in society faces challenging situations in most countries. This paper discusses comparing the aging challenge and pension policy to overcome the problems. As one of the most aging population countries globally, South Korea has become a good representative to learn about the aging context. Meanwhile, Indonesia as a populous country with a gradually growing aging population from year to year. The article analyses that even though South Korea and Indonesia have a similar threat for aging population growth, these two countries face different situations. South Korea faces a low fertility threat, and Indonesia faces poverty in the aging population. Therefore, pension policy as social security and protection are discussed through the state and corporate pillars in implementing the pension scheme. However, the pension policy implementation in South Korea should be supported by strengthening social networks to enhance the elderly group. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, there is a need to increase people's awareness in participating in the pension plan to enhance life quality in the old ages.

Background and objective: Given the difficulty in establishing an ideal method that can successfully extract bacterial deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in Gram-negative bacteria, the objective of this work was to compare protocols for the extraction of bacterial DNA and to suggest more practical, faster, and less costly methodologies.
Methods: Bacterial species used were Escherichia coli, provided by Dr. Leão Sampaio University Center. The evaluated/adapted methodologies were: sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS); salting-out; Promega kit and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and phenol/chloroform. Extracted DNA was examined by the agarose gel electrophoresis.
Results: The SDS method revealed the best result in extracting DNA from E. coli. Its advantages include rapidness, low cost, and good concentration of the extracted material. Others methods showed low-quality DNA, probably due to the presence of large amounts of proteins in the cell wall of E. coli, interfering with the quality of the samples.
Conclusions: It was concluded that the SDS method is better than others with better DNA quality, low cost, and good efficiency.

Published: July 2022

Background and objective: Acne vulgaris (AV) is a common skin disease of sebaceous hair follicles. Many factors are associated with the occurrence and severity of acne, while the exact etiology remains incompletely understood. The current study was aimed to investigate the association between the severity of acne and serum zinc, copper, and calprotectin.
Methods: Fifty patients with AV were recruited in the study as well as 25 healthy age and sex-matched individuals as controls. The acne severity was classified into mild (n=21), moderate (n=16), and severe acne (n=14) according to the global acne grading system (GAGS). Serum levels of zinc, acne and calprotectin were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The gained data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism software.
Results: Insignificant difference was found in zinc and copper levels between controls and AV patients, except in severe AV, where the patients displayed significant elevation in serum copper level (p<0.05) as compared to that of mild AV. The calprotectin concentration was significantly higher (p<0.001) in all AV patients, when compared with healthy subjects, which was positively correlated with the disease severity. No gender difference was noted for all measured biomarkers.
Conclusions: Our study suggests a possible association between calprotectin and acne inflammation, which requires validation in large-scale studies.

Published: July 2022

The objective of this paper is to generate a proposal for professionals in the educational, social, and cultural fields with an interest in contributing to the social appropriation and democratization of knowledge in CTeI to strengthen the scientific culture by promoting community spaces based on participation and dialogue of knowledge based on four axes: community participation in STeI, access to STeI as a right, STeI and community challenge (local and global problems), and STeI and quality of life. The proposal is framed based on the following concepts: a community of learning and participation for the promotion of scientific culture, collective construction of solutions based on science to real problems, and contribution of social and community knowledge to science as empirical knowledge is taken into consideration for the construction of scientific knowledge. Some limitations are the heterogeneity of the members of learning communities requiring facilitators’ experience and knowledge in managing groups that allow them to mediate the conversation.

Citizen participation is a vital element for building high-quality democracies. However, statistics suggest that a greater number of citizens reject the polyarchic system as the most efficient. This research guides its analysis in the main characteristics that evidence the electoral processes in Ecuador, as well as in the strategies of citizen formation that can be applicable to the national case. The methodology used adheres to a path of qualitative order, of a theoretical -descriptive and documentary type, under an exhaustive review of the Ecuadorian jurisprudential regulations that support this document. Finally, the Ecuadorian actions in electoral matters should not be governed only by the Code of Democracy, but also by the Organic Code of the Judicial Function, increasing the jurisdictional power, and adding functions and powers to which it can be included by normative means. the counting of votes in the country.

The empty chair and the breach of citizen participation
Authors: Gamboa Maritza , Avila Linzan Luis
Published: July 2022

On the way to the construction of the social community, citizens participate through their rights as main actors, granting continuous development based on democracy and equality, with the Constitution guaranteeing the exercise of citizen rights in every society. In the application of the aforementioned rights, it is citizen participation that creates a space for intervention by the people, citizen action is managed by organs of public power and democratic means. However, determining the course taken by citizen participation and social control has become a transcendental task to obtain real data that corroborates the correct application of the constitutional rights that are granted to the people, that is, a scenario has been proposed where These rights are not applicable in the event of ignorance or noncompliance with citizen participation, as is the case of the empty chair in Ecuador.

Analysis of alternative sustainable approach to concrete mixture design
Authors: BABCOCK Rebecca , SALAMA Talat
Published: July 2022

Sustainability is a growing area of concern, especially amid the concrete industry. Concrete, especially traditional concrete, which contains Portland cement, is extremely harmful to the environment producing mass amounts of carbon dioxide. Additionally, the harvesting of these materials, like lime, cause significant damage to waterways and the ecosystem. For years, studies have found numerous, more sustainable, alternatives that are structurally equivalent to traditional concrete. The Connecticut Department of Transportation does allow for the use of alternative “green” concretes as long as the mix designs meet the required specifications. Nevertheless, heavy highway construction seems reluctant to dabble with new substances and continues to falls back on the use of fly ash concrete. This solution, however, is not perfect, as fly ash is a finite material. By conducting a nationwide survey to the Departments of Transportation (DOT), the reliance on fly ash was evident. It was also found that the biggest concerns for DOTs would be the cost and availability of the material. This study investigates presently accepted alternative concrete mixture designs and also explores the solutions of volcanic ash concrete and ground glass concrete. Based off the results of the survey and practicality, this study suggests the incorporation of ground glass concrete for heavy highway construction. This solution provides the needed strength requirements per DOT specs and is within the same price-range as fly ash concrete.

Published: July 2022

Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is obtained by activating industrial wastes such as fly ash with chemical liquids such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na2 SiO3). In order to use environmentally friendly GPC obtained from industrial wastes instead of portland cement concrete (OPC), its behavior in structural elements is important and should be investigated in detail. Load-displacement characteristics, flexural and shear stiffnesses and crack development of samples were obtained by numerical analysis. The GPC beams to be an alternative to OPC beams, their mechanical properties and fracture modes must be at least as much as OPC. As a result of the analyses, it was determined that the 110x20x15 cm GPC beams with compression reinforcements of 2Φ8 and tension reinforcements of 2Φ8, 3Φ14 and 2Φ18, respectively, showed similar flexural, shear and crack development with OPC beams. Simulations of GPC beams were made up to the breaking point, contributing to the understanding of its behavior.

Acehnologi sebagai salah satu paradigma pemikiran yang dikembangkan oleh Kamaruzzaman Bustamam Ahmad tidaklah bergerak dari ruang kosong. Acehnologi yang diperkenalkan memiliki pergumulan dan pengaruh yang kompleks dari semua sisi. Salah satu yang paling berpengaruh bagi paradigma berfikir Acehnologi adalah studi kawasan, khususnya Asia Tenggara. Kamaruzzaman Bustamam Ahmad sebagai penggagas Acehnologi, yang sempat berkelana di kawasan Asia Tenggara menemukan signifikansi tersebut. Menurutnya, Acehnologi tidak dapat difahami sekedar memahami geografi Aceh dari Sabang ke Singkil. Acehnologi juga bukan berarti pengejawantahan hegemoni satu suku saja. Acehnologi adalah paradigma kosmopolitan yang paling sedikit mewarnai dan diwarnai oleh kawasan Asia Tenggara. Artikel ini kemudian mengulas hubungan saling mewarnai tersebut. Disini ditemukan pertama, bahwa peran Aceh tidak dapat dinafikan bagi sejarah Asia Tenggara, khususnya sejarah islamisasi di kawasan tersebut. Kedua, bahwa kawasan Asia Tenggara memiliki andil bagi perkembangan dan pergolakan sosial-politik di Aceh. Bahkan eksistensi Gerakan Aceh Merdeka dalam sejarah Aceh kontemporer memiliki kaitan dengan jaringan perlawanan di Asia Tenggara.

Published: July 2022

Artikel ini bertujuan menelaah tentang nilai-nilai yang terkandung dalam ibadah puasa ramadhan bagi pendidikan karakter siswa sekolah dasar. Nilai-nilai pendidikan  yang  dimaksud  adalah  nilai  pendidikan  religius,  nilai  pendidikan moral, pendidikan sosial, dan nilai pendidikan budaya.   Berpuasa merupakan sebuah kegiatan religius yang dilakukan orang islam sebagai wujud ketaatan terhadap Tuhan-Nya di samping ibadah-ibadah  yang lainnya. Puasa ramadhan adalah kegiatan menahan diri dari makan, minum, dan berhubungan badan serta hal-hal lain yang menyebkan batalnya berpuasa mulai terbit fajar sampai terbenam matahari yang dilaksanakan pada bulan ramadhan. Fenomena yang terjadi saat ini makin berkurangnya kegiatan beribadah, tepo seliro, gotong royong, saling membantu,  serta  sikap-sikap  positif  lainnya  seperti  jujur,  disiplin,  tanggung jawab, dan hidup toleran dalam berkehidupan. Puasa ramadhan bukan hanya menekankan pada menahan diri dari makan dan minum saja, tetapi latihan peningkatan keimanan, pembinaan mental (jiwa), akhlak (moral), sosial, dan memahami arti perbedaan. Di sekolah dasar nilai-nilai tersebut perlu ditanamkan sebagai landasan siswa dalam pengembangan dirinya terutama pada aspek kepribadiannya seperti: berkarakter, perilaku, tanggung jawab, disiplin, dan berjiwa sosial.
