Introduction: Splenic length is an important parameter for many splenic pathologies. Ultrasonography has been an efficient tool for the measurement of different splenic parameters including the splenic length. The objective of this prospective study was to determine the splenic length in healthy adults without any hematological, oncologic or traumatic condition and to correlate it with age, sex, height, weight, body surface area of the body.

Materials and Methods: A total of 360 healthy subjects were included in this study conducted for a period of 6 months. Informed written consent and ethical approval were taken. A detailed clinical history of all the patients were taken. Basic investigations, clinical and ultrasonography examination were performed. Then the data collected was analyzed by MS Excel and SPSS 25 program.

Results: The study included 360 participants (180 male & 180 female) with mean age of the 40.39 ±11.51 years. The mean splenic length was found to be 9.11±1.16 cm. There was significant correlation of splenic length with age, weight, height and body surface area. The splenic length was higher in male compared to female ineach age group.

Conclusion: The study aimed to establish the normal range of spleen length and to examine its correlation with body height, weight, and surface area in male and female subjects. The researchers found that spleen length decreases with age in both sexes. Additionally, spleen length increases with body height, weight, and body surface area. Female spleen length is less than male spleen length for corresponding ages.

English Medium Instruction in Multilingual Context: Exploring Teacher’s Ideology and Practices
Authors: Miya Farmud
Published: July 2023

The present study explores the ideological perspectives of basic level teachers who teach through English medium in EMI classroom. Teachers’ ideology has profound influence on their classroom application. The ideology of a teacher determines the path of teaching-learning pedagogy in the classroom. I have explored the experiences of teachers as an ideological phenomenon. Experiences help to develop one’s ideology. In context of Nepal, teachers are found to use several strategies such as: Paraphrasing, translation, code switching to deliver the classes in EMI classroom. The study is of course qualitative in nature. The sample population consisted of four basic level teachers who have been teaching content subjects like Science, Social, Mathematics and Moral science in English medium. I used purposive non random sampling technique to select the sample population of the study. I employed interview and classroom observation techniques to elicit my data. The interviews were audio recorded with some notes. I analyzed the data qualitatively using the thematic analysis approach. Different codes were formulated to develop themes. The findings gained from the data interpretation showed that teachers used more mother tongue, especially Nepali language to make the text clear to the students in the classroom. Translation, code switching and sometimes paraphrasing were used as teaching pedagogies in a single class. Notably, there were inconsistencies between what the teachers said and what they practiced in their classrooms. It was found that Job market, internationalization and neo-liberalism have fostered in the growth of EMI. Another striking finding was students were found as passive listeners in the classroom. The interaction was rare between the students and teachers. Students were assisted by writing answers of the comprehensive questions. Professional training, sufficient teaching materials and trained teachers need to be focused to make EMI meaningful.

The concept of social transformations refers to the permanent movement that leads to the transition from one situation to another in which the overall features of all aspects of social life change. It is linked to the radical changes that take place in the social system and its internal structure, and there are no societies devoid of social transformations, whether in their economic, intellectual, or cultural levels. These transformations often occur gradually, as they are constantly changing and new systems, other traditions, and cultures different from those that prevailed in them arise. Political culture is part of the general culture that exists in every society, and it consists of a group of elements that are defined by an organized framework and operate in the political field that links individuals to the political system. It is directly affected by the changes that occur in society, which lead as a whole to comprehensive transformations in the economic, social, political, and intellectual structure because it includes all the political orientations of the members of society that affect the different levels of political life, and there is a link between the orientations of individuals and their political positions and their social and economic conditions.

Italian Geographer Massimo Quaini’s Critical Contribution to the Study of Maps
Authors: De Santi Valentina , Rossi Luisa
Published: July 2023

This article proposes to present to an international public of map scholars the work of the Italian geographer Massimo Quaini, active between the 1970s and 2017. Known outside Italy as a radical geographer mainly for his work Geography and Marxism (1982), Quaini has dedicated numerous studies to the history and criticism of the map. The interest in his scientific production concerns firstly his theoretical contribution to map theory, having subjected to an intense criticism the traditional notion of the cartographic device. Theoretical considerations and the study of documents – analysed in every aspect (patrons, authors, languages, etc.) – have intertwined in a scientific work based on two types of sources: the cartography of the Liguria region and the Napoleonic topographers’ activity, studies in which he anticipated the remarkable work of Anne Godwleska.
Portrait des pratiques d’enseignants utilisant la littérature de jeunesse bi-/plurilingue dans les écoles élémentaires de langue française en Ontario
Authors: Trottin Mélissande , Thibeault Joël
Published: July 2023

Un nombre croissant d’études s’intéresse aux divers avantages liés à l’utilisation de la littérature de jeunesse bi-/plurilingue en classe. Cependant, il existe encore peu de recherche qui décrit concrètement comment les enseignants mettent en place des pratiques à l’aide de ce médium. Le présent article expose donc les résultats d’une étude multicas qui a pour objectif de décrire les pratiques déclarées d’enseignants en contexte franco-ontarien qui utilisent la littérature de jeunesse bi-/plurilingue. À l’aide d’un questionnaire portant sur l’utilisation de cette littérature et d’une série d’entrevues semi-dirigées, nous avons eu accès aux différentes pratiques de trois enseignants qui œuvrent à l’élémentaire. Plus précisément, ils nous ont décrit, par l’entremise de livres bi-/plurilingues qu’ils ont choisis, leurs façons de mettre en œuvre les trois moments clés de la lecture : la pré-lecture, la lecture et l’après-lecture. Les résultats de cette recherche montrent notamment que les enseignants recourent à des pratiques déjà connues lors de l’utilisation de la littérature monolingue, mais qu’ils en créent aussi de nouvelles afin de mettre en valeur de caractère bi-/plurilingue des œuvres qu’ils emploient.

Published: July 2023

Lard refers to a creamy, white, soft substance made from pig fat and used in cooking and baking. Lard not only has the risk of biological complications and health problems associated with regular consumption, but also has other issues such as the restriction on use in the food industry from the perspective of the Muslim religion. There are few literature studies that show several issues related to the adulteration of food products, especially halal meat. This issue must be resolved to avoid confusion for Muslims. Therefore, laboratory analysis on meat species authentication is highly necessary. There are different available methods to detect different species in food samples, including Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Electronic Nose (e-nose), Duplex PCR-Enzyme-linked Oligonucleotide Assay (ELONA), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), and Rapid PCR. This article aims to review the application of lard in food, cases related to halal and methods to detect the presence of lard.

Authors: USLU Esra , ASLAN Canan
Published: July 2023

From the perspective of language and literature education, children’s and youth books should be sensitive to the culture of human rights and democracy and should not endorse group antagonism such as stereotype, prejudice and discrimination. The main purpose of this research is to determine if there are any messages about group antagonisms in the award-winning children’s and youth stories/novels; and to understand the emotional aspect, style, context and content characteristics of those messages. The data source of this general survey model research consists of a total of 34 books that have received awards from various institutions and organizations in the field of children’s and youth literature. In the content analysis, the main category of group antagonism was divided into three subcategories: stereotype, prejudice and discrimination, which were further divided into sub-categories based on emotional aspect, style, context, and content and analyzed in cross-tables. The findings showed that most messages were in the prejudice category. In addition, it was determined that the messages that foster group antagonism were mostly related to the affective dimension and were conveyed in a blatant style and often without malicious intent. Within the scope of this study, it is recommended that fictional books addressing children and young people should address group antagonism with a critical and problem-oriented approach.

Abstract: In the city of Semarang, many old buildings are still original and have many stories behind their architectural design styles, one of which is the Gereformeerd Church. Due to its age, Gereformeerd Church has been designated as a cultural heritage building by the Semarang city government, but the lack of data on the Gereformeerd Church building causes a lack of conservation measures that can be taken for this church. The purpose of this research is to support the data of the church's cultural heritage building on the important points of the Gereformeerd Church style using an architectural approach so that it can be used as a reference for further research on the conservation of the Gereformeerd Church building in Semarang. The Gereformeerd Church has an architectural style that is heavily influenced by gothic and romanesque architecture which is very closely related to European churches in the 16th-18th centuries. In addition, with Art Deco influence on the interior decoration of the church, it becomes more of an attraction if the analogies and meanings behind the interior design and architectural style are explored and to be used as the basis for the conservation of the cultural heritage of the Semarang Gereformeerd church.Abstrak: Di Kota Semarang, banyak sekali bangunan tua yang masih asli dan menyimpan banyak cerita di balik gaya desain arsitekturnya, salah satunya adalah Gereja Gereformeerd. Karena usianya, Gereja Gereformeerd ditetapkan sebagai bangunan cagar budaya oleh pemerintah kota Semarang, namun minimnya data mengenai bangunan Gereja Gereformeerd menyebabkan kurangnya langkah-langkah konservasi yang dapat diambil untuk gereja ini. Mendata bangunan cagar budaya harus meliputi usia dan nilai penting bangunan. Nilai penting bangunan dibagi menjadi dua yaitu keaslian dan langgam bangunan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk men-support data bangunan cagar budaya Gereja pada nilai penting langgam Gereja Gereformeerd menggunakan pendekatan arsitektur, sehingga dapat dijadikan acuan bagi penelitian lanjutan mengenai konservasi bangunan Gereja Gereformeerd Semarang. Metode penelitian kualitatif digunakan untuk mencapai tujuan atau objektif di dalam penelitian ini, dengan memfokuskan pada data-data yang dapat diolah secara visual dan pikiran. Gereja Gereformeerd memiliki langgam arsitektur yang terpengaruh berat oleh arsitektur gotik dan romantik yang sangat erat dengan gereja Eropa pada abad ke 16-18.

Abstract: This paper investigated the emerging trends of research related to digital public spaces through a bibliometric analysis based on the VOSviewer software. Digital public spaces have become a hot topic of conversation lately due to possible influencing factors like the development of advanced Industry 4.0 technologies, the introduction of Society 5.0, the growth of smart city concept, the manifestation of the digital universe as known as metaverse, and the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 610 publications obtained from the Scopus database were analysed in three different ways including research development trends analysis, publications productivity analysis, and knowledge topic area analysis. The results pointed out that from 2012 to 2021, digital public spaces have attracted the significant attention of researchers in various scientific fields, mostly in western countries. From 7 clusters of knowledge topic areas detected, public space, social media, human-computer interaction, urban planning, and digital technologies have established the research hotspot to date. In addition, as the research focus is enriching, the potential novelty for further digital public spaces research may likely be related to more comprehensive and humane aspects. It is also possible that linking unrelated topics between different clusters is also highly considered to obtain the novelty of future research.Abstrak: Makalah ini menyelidiki tren penelitian yang muncul terkait dengan ruang publik digital melalui analisis bibliometrik berdasarkan perangkat lunak VOSviewer.

Abstract: Design thinking with a semiotic approach is a design strategy that seeks to bridge the communication gap between architects and the process of interpreting messages by readers or observers, so that architectural works can be interpreted properly. The Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) is the highest symbol of autonomous government power in the Regency area. Based on the functional ideology attached to the DPRD building, the architectural form of the DPRD office building is a symbolic language that represents local values and cultural identity. The aim of this research is to find out the concept of symbolic signs that are internalized by local people and how semiotic transformation strategies can be carried out to produce expressions in the form of DPRD office buildings that represent local identities. The method used is to conduct a literature study that is relevant to the formal object of architectural semiotics, then elaborated with the theory of the principles of architectural arrangement of government buildings as the material object of this research. Based on the research objectives, a collection of ideas, ideas, attributes and symbols of local culture, were analyzed and mapped within the semiotic-Barthes concept framework and transformed into a simulation model for the design of the East Flores Regency DPRD office building. building.Abstrak: Berpikir desain dengan pendekatan semiotika merupakan suatu strategi perancangan yang berupaya menjembatani jarak komunikasi antara arsitek dengan proses penafsiran pesan oleh pembaca atau pengamat, sehingga karya arsitektur dapat dimaknai dengan baik. Lembaga Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah (DPRD) merupakan simbol kekuasaan pemerintahan otonom tertinggi di wilayah Kabupaten.
