The Genesis of the Translation of Children’s Classics: A Bourdieusian Account of ʿAbd al- Fattāḥ Ṣabrī’s Translation of Gulliver’s Travels (1909)
Authors: M. Almehmadi Khulud
Published: October 2020

Recently, Bourdieu’s sociological theory has been applied in translation studies. Based on Bourdieu’s assumption that individuals’ practices result from the interwoven relation between their habitus and the field in which they grow up and work, ʿAbd al-Fattāḥ Ṣabrī’s translation of Gulliver’s Travels (1909) was chosen as a testing ground, through which this assumption will be proven or rejected. This paper aims to contribute to the growing area of sociological research by contextualizing this translation within its socio-cultural context. To carry out this analysis, Bourdieu’s concepts – field, habitus, and doxa – are used as research tools to understand the relationship between the decisions a translator makes at the micro-level and the stimuli at the macro-level. This entails examining the genesis of the field of children’s literature in Egypt during the late nineteenth century to identify the prevalent doxic practices that conditioned cultural productions. It also requires focussing on the socio-political factors that influenced the translator’s habitus. The analysis is expected to determine to what extent the decisions taken at the textual level were affected by both the prevalent doxic practices and the translator’s habitus. This research concludes that the habitus may exert powerful effects on the translator’s strategic decisions to a greater extent than the prevalent doxic practices in the field. Examining the influences of the translator’s habitus in the translation has produced some results worthy of further analysis. It may be possible to expand on this study by including different genres in the same field, such as fantasy books for children. The same sociological theory also could be applied to other genres outside the field of children’s literature, such as the translation of political books.

Published: October 2020

The aim of this article is to carry out an exploratory analysis and literature review about the influence of the traditional and digital media on social capital. The concept-variable social capital refers to the set of attributes of the social dimension that promote cooperative behaviors and favor the functioning of the economy and society in general. Its study as a development factor has grown strongly in recent years. Social capital has three different dimensions: cognitive (norms and values), structural (networks of interpersonal relationships), and relational (trust). This text gathers various effects of the media in each of these dimensions and concludes that this influence can be considered as an opportunity for the implementation of social marketing, whose ultimate goal is the well-being of citizens.
A tale of two pneumothoraces
Authors: Aujayeb Avinash , Jackson Karl
Published: October 2020

Background:

Two male patients, one with small cell lung cancer and one with squamous cell lung cancer, presented within a few days of each other with incidental pneumothoraces on their routine staging computed tomograms.

Case Presentation:

Both patients were sent to the accident and emergency from the radiology department. The patient with small cell lung cancer was seen out of hours, had a chest drain, and was admited. The drain fell out with resultant extensive surgical emphysema. Specialist pleural advice was sought and instead of further interventions, simple observation in a place of safety enabled resolution of the pneumothorax, the surgical emphysema and symptoms. The second patient was seen within working hours with specialist pleural advice: simple observation over time allowed resolution of symptoms.

Conclusion:

We hence describe the harm that a chest drain performed out of hours caused harm.

Authors: Hana Kharis Fadlullah
Published: October 2020

Technological progress in the 4.0 era was followed by an increase in the Indonesian economy in the field of entrepreneurship. This makes a lot of new business opportunities that are dominated by women. Moreover, there are suggestions from scholars that Muslim women must be able to meet their own needs so that they are not regarded as weak creatures that depend on men. Based on that, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of self-concept and the environment on their interests and influence on millennial Muslim women's entrepreneurial decisions. This research uses a quantitative method with a post positivism approach. This research analysis technique uses the Structural Equation Model with WarpPLS 6.0 application. The concept of self and environment as exogenous variables, entrepreneurial interests and decisions as endogenous variables. Data were taken using a purposive random sample technique of 210 people. The data population is millennial Muslim women in the Pati Residency area. The results obtained that the variable self-concept has an influence on interest and entrepreneurial decisions of 0.211 with a probability 0.001 and a standard error of 0.047. Environmental variables affect the interest and entrepreneurial decisions of 0.131 with a probability of 0.003 and a standard error of 0.048. This means that the self-concept variable has a greater influence than the millennial Muslim women's environment.

La aplicación de pruebas de rango logarítmico a las curvas estimadas para cada categoría de las variables determinó que existen perfiles diferenciados. El perfil de mayor abandono es el de alumnos que ingresan con más de 20 años, masculinos, con promedio de preparatoria menor a 80, no procedentes de la zona metropolitana de Guadalajara, de preparatorias públicas, sin beca ni crédito, con el menor rango de puntuación en examen de ingreso y que iniciaron en programas de administración o ingenierías. Con estos hallazgos es posible detectar a los alumnos con mayor probabilidad de abandono desde su ingreso.
Comprensión, interpretación y corrección del pospretérito periodístico de probabilidad futura en bachillerato
Authors: Hernández Rodríguez Ernesto
Published: October 2020

Este estudio presenta las consideraciones de 45 estudiantes de bachillerato en torno a la comprensión e interpretación de la conjugación en pospretérito en el uso periodístico para informar  situaciones potenciales futuras, sin un compromiso sobre su veracidad, como algo no confirmado, por ejemplo: “El presidente visitaría Europa en junio”. En las actividades realizadas, tres grupos de 15 estudiantes trabajaron con un texto periodístico representativo cada uno. Este recurso verbal produce ambigüedad cuando carece de contextualización del significado adverbial de probabilidad futura. La metodología incluye un cuestionario para la comprensión e interpretación verbal, retroalimentación y la opción de corregir las conjugaciones consideradas confusas. El método de análisis contempla categorías sobre la conjugación y la intencionalidad verbal. Los resultados evidencian las dificultades para comprender y emplear el uso periodístico del pospretérito. Las modificaciones realizadas en el texto muestran intentos por eliminar este recurso y, en su lugar, emplear opciones verbales para unificar los significados de certeza o de potencialidad futura.

Published: October 2020

The development of the property business sector, in particular the construction of a series of houses has created a new phenomenon regarding the sale and purchase of a series of houses and their land rights using the Pre Project Selling system based on the Purchase Binding Agreement (PPJB). PPJB is based on the principle of freedom of contract (Article 1338 of the Civil Code). Buying and selling houses that have not met the conditions will hamper the completion of transactions in the sale and purchase of these houses. The problem that often arises in the buying and selling of houses that are being built by development actors based on PPJB are aspects of consumers, where consumers are at a disadvantage. The problem in this study is "How is the legal protection for consumers in the sale and purchase of a row house with a pre-project selling system based on PPJB. This type of research is normative legal research. The legal material used is primary legal material and secondary legal material. The results of this study are consumers obtain internal and external legal protection. Article 42 of Law No. 1 of 2011 concerning Housing and Settlement Areas, confirms that the houses that are still in the development process can be marketed through PPJB if there is certainty regarding housing construction of at least 20% (twenty percent), Law No. 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection and Minister of Public Works and Public Housing Regulation (Permen PUPR) Number 11 / PRT / M / 2019 concerning the Home PPJB System.Keywords: House Series, Buying and selling, PPJB

Published: October 2020

Background:

Internal carotid artery (ICA) injuries are a major complication of endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEAs), which can be difficult to manage. Adding to the management difficulty is the lack of literature describing the surgical anatomical classification of these types of injuries. This article proposing a novel classification of ICA injuries during EEAs.

Methods:

The classification of ICA injuries during EEAs was generated from the review of the literature and analysis of the main author observation of ICA injuries in general. All published cases of ICA injuries during EEAs in the literature between January 1990 and January 2020 were carefully reviewed. We reviewed all patients’ demographic features, preoperative diagnoses, modes of injury, cerebral angiography results, surgical and medical management techniques, and reported functional outcomes.

Results:

There were 31 papers that reported ICA injuries during EEAs in the past three decades, most studies did not document the type of injury, and few described major laceration type of it. From that review of the literature, we classified ICA injuries into three main categories (Types I-III) and six sub-types. Type I is ICA branch injury, Type II is a penetrating injury to the ICA, and Type III is a laceration of the ICA wall. The functional neurological outcome was found to be worse with Type III and better with Type I.

Conclusion:

This is a novel classification system for ICA injuries during EEAs; it defines the patterns of injury. It could potentially lead to advancements in the management of ICA injuries in EEAs and facilitate communication to develop guidelines.
Frequency, recognition, and management of postoperative hematomas following anterior cervical spine surgery: A review
Authors: Epstein Nancy
Published: October 2020

Background:

We reviewed the frequency, recognition, and management of postoperative hematomas (HT) (i.e. retropharyngeal [RFH], wound [WH], and/or spinal epidural hematomas [SEH]) following anterior cervical discectomy/fusion (ACDF), anterior corpectomy fusion (ACF), and/or anterior cervical spine surgery (ACSS).

Methods:

Postoperative cervical hematomas following ACDF, ACF, and ACSS ranged from 0.4% to 1.2% in a series of 11 studies involving a total of 44, 030 patients. These included; 4 single case reports, 2 small case series (6 and 30 cases), 4 larger series (758–2375 for a total of 6729 patients), an a large NSQUIP (National Surgical Quality Improvement Program ) Database involving 37,261 ACDF patients.

Results:

Risk factors contributing to postoperative cervical hematomas included; DISH (diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis), ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL), therpeutic heparin levels, longer operative times, multilevel surgery, ASA Scores of +/= 3, (American Society of Anesthesiologists), prone surgery, operative times > 4 hours, smoking, higher/lower body mass index (BMI), anemia, age >65, > medical comorbidities, and male gender. Notably, the use of drains did not prevent HT, and did not increase the infection, or reoperation rates.

Conclusion:

In our review of 11 studies focused on anterior cervical surgery, the incidence of postoperative hematomas ranged from 0.4 to 1.2%. Early recognition of these postoperative hemorrhages, and appropriate management (surgical/non-surgical) are critical to optimize recovery, and limit morbidity, and mortality.
Assessing Potential Inhibitors for SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease from Available Drugs using Free Energy Perturbation Simulations
Authors: Ngo Son Tung , Nguyen Hung Minh , Huong Le Thi Thuy , Quan Pham Minh , Truong Vi Khanh , Tung Nguyen Thanh , Vu Van
Published: October 2020

The main protease (Mpro) of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes the COVID-19 pandemic, is responsible for the maturation of its key proteins. Thus, inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 Mpro could prevent SARS-CoV-2 from multiplying. Because new inhibitors require thorough validation, repurposing current drugs could help reduce the validation process. Many recent studies used molecular docking to screen large databases for potential inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. However, molecular docking does not consider molecular dynamics and thus can be prone to error. In this work, we developed a protocol using free energy perturbation (FEP) to assess the potential inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. We first tested both molecular docking and FEP on a set of 11 inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro with experimentally determined inhibitory data. The experimentally deduced binding free energy exhibits significantly stronger correlation with that predicted by FEP (R = 0.94 ± 0.04) than with that predicted by molecular docking (R = 0.82 ± 0.08). This result clearly shows that FEP is the most accurate method available to estimate the binding affinity of a ligand to SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. We subsequently used FEP to validate the top 33 compounds screened with molecular docking from the ZINC15 database. Thirteen of these compounds were predicted to have strong binding affinity for SARS-CoV-2 Mpro, most of which are currently used as drugs for various diseases in humans. Notably, delamanid, an anti-tuberculosis drug, was predicted to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 Mpro in the nanomolar range. Because both COVID-19 and tuberculosis are lung diseases, delamanid has higher probability to be suitable for treating COVID-19 than other predicted compounds. Analysis of the interactions between SARS-CoV-2 Mpro and the top inhibitors revealed the key residues involved in the binding, including the catalytic dyad His14 and Cys145, which is consistent with the structural studies reported recently.
Redesigning a “Writing for Chemists” Course Using Specifications Grading
Authors: Mang Stephen , McKnelly Kate J. , Morris Michael
Published: October 2020

The Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) instituted an upper-division “Writing for Chemists” course in fall 2017 that fulfills part of UCI’s writing graduation requirement. During the 2019-2020 school year, we re-designed the course using a specifications grading system with the following goals: 1) to teach students how to develop their own writing practice, while mastering chemistry discipline-specific writing conventions, 2) to provide students with frequent and constructive instructor and teaching assistant (TA) feedback by providing ample revision opportunities, 3) to increase transparency in how students can achieve course SLOs, and 4) to provide students with consistent and clear assessment rubrics. This specifications grading approach uses a high-pass, low-pass, unsatisfactory system predicated on whether students meet a certain number of criteria for each assignment. Achievement of Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) was assessed using criteria instead of points so that instructors and students could more objectively measure student learning. Standardized rubrics and a student grade tracker helped students understand the relationship between meeting criteria, achieving SLOs, and earning grades. Students completed surveys at the end of the course to determine if their writing habits and attitudes towards writing changed. After the course, students self-reported increased propensities to pre-write and edit, and several students mentioned that they appreciated the transparency of the specifications rubrics and the control the specifications system gave them over their grades.
Correlating Experiment and Theory for Electron Paramagnetic Resonance and Substrate Binding in a Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenase
Authors: Theibich Yusuf A. , Lo Leggio Leila , Sauer Stephan P. A. , Hedegård Erik
Published: October 2020

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are enzymes that binds polysaccharides followed by an (oxidative) disruption of the polysaccharide surface, thereby boosting depolymerization. The binding process between LPMO and polysaccharide is key to the mechanism and recent investigations have established structure-function relationships for this binding, employing hyperfine coupling constants (HFCs) from EPR spectroscopy. Unfortunately, EPR does not provide direct structural data and therefore the experimental EPR parameters have been supported with parameters cal-culated with density functional theory. Yet, calculated HFCs are extremely sensitiveto the employed computational setup. Using the LPMO Ls(AA9)A, we here quantifythe importance of several choices in the computational setup, ranging from the useof specialized basis, the underlying structures, and the employed exchange–correlationfunctional. We compare our results to both X-ray structures and experiment (EPR spectra) for Ls(AA9)A as well as to recent experimental/theoretical results for another(AA10) family of LPMOs.
A Molecular Perspective on Water Vapour Accommodation into Ice and Its Dependence on Temperature
Authors: Schlesinger Daniel , Lowe Samuel J. , Olenius Tinja , Kong Xiangrui , B. C. Pettersson Jan , Riipinen Ilona
Published: October 2020

Accommodation of vapour phase water molecules into ice crystal surfaces is a fundamental process controlling atmospheric ice crystal growth. Experimental studies investigating the accommodation process with various different techniques report widely spread values of the water accommodation coefficient on ice, αice, and the results on its potential temperature- dependence are inconclusive. We run molecular dynamics simulations of molecules condensing onto the basal plane of ice Ih using the TIP4P/Ice empirical force field and characterize the accommodated state from this molecular perspective, utilizing the interaction energy, the tetrahedrality order parameter and the distance below the instantaneous interface as criteria. Changes of the order parameter turn out to be a suitable measure to distinguish between surface and bulk states of a molecule condensing onto the disordered interface. In light of the findings from the molecular dynamics, we discuss and re- analyse a recent experimental data set on αice obtained with an environmental molecular beam (EMB) setup [Kong et al, Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2014] using kinetic molecular flux modelling, aiming at a more comprehensive picture of the accommodation process from a molecular perspective. These results indicate that the experimental observations indeed cannot be explained by evaporation alone. At the same time our results raise the issue of rapidly growing relaxation times upon decreasing temperature, challenging future experimental efforts to cover relevant time scales. Finally, we discuss the relevance of the water accommodation coefficient on ice in the context of atmospheric cloud particle growth processes.

Theory of Mind, Aesthetic Judgment and Child Development Issues: A Narrative Review / Théorie de l’esprit, jugement esthétique et enjeux du développement de l’enfant : un compte rendu narratif
Authors: Mendonça Pedro , Savoie Alain , Émond Anne-Marie
Published: October 2020

Abstract: The Theory of Mind (ToM) is an empathy related concept that refers to the ability of attributing mental states to oneself and to others. ToM is present throughout the process of aesthetic judgment and essential for an aesthetic experience to happen. We present a narrative overview of four influential studies that propose a developmental model of aesthetic judgment in children and we discuss their inherent relationship with ToM. We argue that ToM permeates the four suggested models, although not expressly mentioned in them, and conclude that ToM cannot be separated from the aesthetic experience in the context of child development.Keywords: Art Appreciation; Aesthetic Experience; Aesthetic Judgment; Child Development; Empathy; Imagination; Shared meaning; Theory of Mind (ToM). Résumé : La théorie de l’esprit désigne un concept lié à l’empathie, qui relève de la capacité d’attribuer des états mentaux, à soi-même et à autrui. La théorie de l’esprit est inhérente au processus de jugement esthétique et indispensable au vécu de l’expérience esthétique. Nous proposons ici un compte rendu narratif de quatre études déterminantes qui introduisent un modèle développemental du jugement esthétique chez l’enfant et analysons sa relation étroite avec la théorie de l’esprit. Nous affirmons que la théorie de l’esprit imprègne les quatre modèles suggérés, bien qu’elle n’y soit pas exprimée directement, et qu’elle ne peut donc être dissociée de l’expérience esthétique au niveau du développement de l’enfant.Mots-clés : connaissance des arts ; expérience esthétique ; jugement esthétique ; développement de l’enfant ; empathie ; imagination ; sens commun ; théorie de l’esprit.

Authors: Vatika Agarwal  , Subhabrata Maiti
Published: October 2020

Oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic, premalignant condition that is prevalent in Asian countries like India, Pakistan and Srilanka. Oral cancer accounts for around 30% of the cancer cases in India. It is important to understand the prevalence of the disease for its effective management. The aim of the study was to understand the prevalence of the condition and the popularity of various treatment modalities used in its management, along with the prevalence of OSMF patients requiring prosthetic rehabilitation. Case sheets of around 23,000 patients were reviewed from March 2019 to June 2020 out of which 100 patients were affected by oral submucous fibrosis. To eliminate bias, all patients affected by the disease were included in the study. Epidemiological data of the patient along with their ongoing treatment, was collected and tabulated in MS Excel sheet. The data was then analyzed using IBM SPSS software version 23: The prevalence of OSMF in males was 92% while in females, it was 8%. The age group of 31-40 years was found to be most commonly affected, and pan chewing was observed to be the most common abusive habit amongst OSMF patients. The most common treatment modality used was non-invasive methods within which antioxidant therapy was the most popularly used modality. The increasing prevalence of OSMF amongst the younger population is a matter of great concern. The present study shows the prevalence of OSMF in males, especially in the young and middle-aged population. Thus it is important to increase awareness amongst the youth regarding the condition and to increase awareness amongst the dentists regarding the various treatment modalities to effectively prevent and clinically manage such conditions.

Authors: Любовенко Елена Сергеевна
Published: October 2020

Статья посвящена изучению взаимосвязи договоров кредитования и личного страхования в качестве связанных договоров. Актуальность исследования определяется, во-первых, недостаточной разработанностью связанных договоров в отечественной науке, во-вторых, законодательными новациями, которые вступили в силу 1 сентября 2020 г. Вместе с тем не все участники рынка кредитования осведомлены об этих изменениях. Таким образом, исследование носит ярко выраженную практическую применимость, а также может служить базой для совершенствования законодательного регулирования.

The article is devoted to the study of the relationship between credit and personal insurance contracts as related contracts. The relevance of the study is determined, firstly, by the insufficient development of related contracts in domestic science, and secondly, it is determined by legislative innovations that will soon come into force. However, not all participants in the lending market are aware of these changes. Thus, the study has a pronounced practical applicability, and can also serve as a basis for improving legislative regulation.

Bivariate Hydrologic Risk Assessment of Flood Episodes using the Notation of Failure Probability
Authors: Latif Shahid , Mustafa Firuza
Published: October 2020

Floods are becoming the most severe and challenging hydrologic issue at the Kelantan River basin in Malaysia. Flood episodes are usually thoroughly characterized by flood peak discharge flow, volume and duration series. This study incorporated the copula-based methodology in deriving the joint distribution analysis of the annual flood characteristics and the failure probability for assessing the bivariate hydrologic risk. Both the Archimedean and Gaussian copula family were introduced and tested as possible candidate functions. The copula dependence parameters are estimated using the method-of-moment estimation procedure. The Gaussian copula was recognized as the best-fitted distribution for capturing the dependence structure of the flood peak-volume and peak-duration pairs based on goodness-of-fit test statistics and was further employed to derive the joint return periods. The bivariate hydrologic risks of flood peak flow and volume pair, and flood peak flow and duration pair in different return periods (i.e., 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 years) were estimated and revealed that the risk statistics incrementally increase in the service lifetime and, at the same instant, incrementally decrease in return periods. In addition, we found that ignoring the mutual dependency can underestimate the failure probabilities where the univariate events produced a lower failure probability than the bivariate events. Similarly, the variations in bivariate hydrologic risk with the changes of flood peak in the different synthetic flood volume and duration series (i.e., 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 years return periods) under different service lifetimes are demonstrated. Investigation revealed that the value of bivariate hydrologic risk statistics incrementally increases over the project lifetime (i.e., 30, 50, and 100 years) service time, and at the same time, it incrementally decreases in the return period of flood volume and duration. Overall, this study could provide a basis for making an appropriate flood defence plan and long-lasting infrastructure designs. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2020-03091599 Full Text: PDF
