Applying CQPweb in Academic Writing Course for ESL Biomedical PhD Students: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Zhang Lei
Published: January 2025

CQPweb, a web-based fourth-generation corpus analysis tool, combines corpus resource sharing with online retrieval functions. This paper selects online corpora based on CQPweb and introduces data-driven learning (DDL) to a medical academic writing course for English as a second language (ESL) biomedical PhD candidates. The study indicates that query through CQPweb not only helps to solve lexico-grammatical problems encountered in PhD students' writing process such as word choice and collocation, but also discover and summarize syntactic discourse problems such as sentence form and text structure. Although the post-course questionnaire showed that learners faced difficulties such as "too many concordance lines" and "difficulty in formulating search formulas for syntax searches". However, overall, respondents provided positive feedback on the CQPweb-based corpus-assisted academic writing. The results show that CQPweb serves as an effective reference tool and reliable resource for academic writing, and the CQPweb-based DDL is conducive to promoting students' interest in learning, increasing the quality of academic writing, boosting their confidence, and cultivating independent learning capability. However, teachers should strengthen the training of corpus searching, especially syntax search, and also randomly thin the query results to reduce the cognitive load, protect students' learning motivation, and increase the use of corpus-assisted writing after class, in order to improve the quality of research paper writing.
Réflexions autour de la solitude (pathologique) dans deux textes d’Eugène Ionesco : Ce formidable bordel ! et Le Solitaire
Authors: LAZEA Alexandru N.
Published: January 2025

Eugène Ionesco est un auteur apprécié pour son théâtre, qui lui a permis d’occuper une place de choix dans la galerie des grands dramaturges de la littérature universelle. Les thématiques autour desquelles il construit ses pièces sont le tragique de l’existence, la difficulté de communiquer, l’écoulement du temps, le monde envahi par les objets et la solitude. Ce formidable bordel ! et Le Solitaire ne figurent pas parmi les œuvres de premier plan de l’auteur. Le Solitaire (1973), son seul roman, est fondé sur la même trame que Ce formidable bordel ! (1973), pièce de théâtre écrite et publiée après le roman. Même s’ils proposent le même sujet, ces deux textes se distinguent par quelques éléments, telles l’échelle d’argent ou l’illusion du jardin édénique. Conçu comme une étude thématique où nous adoptons une démarche appliquée, notre article est divisé en trois parties : une introduction théorique sur le thème de la solitude chez trois philosophes importants (Montaigne, Nietzsche et Cioran), le thème de la solitude chez Eugène Ionesco et l’analyse des textes.

Advances in Concrete Technology Based on New Materials and Applications
Authors: Muhsin Muhannad
Published: January 2025

Due to the existence of new innovative construction technologies, material, and equipment's, civil engineering practice has been enhanced profoundly; despite the concrete as the most popular structural framework. Due to the changes taking place in the global economy and the rising expectations laid down on people, construction of civil engineering structures has become inevitable to meet the requirement of modern civilization. This expansion does not only enhance the progression of infrastructure, but also the improvement in the construction business. To be also more precise, it is easy to understand that concrete being one of the key components in construction is a direct reflection of the civil structures quality. New concrete materials are not just an improvement on the conventional concrete material but can be considered an entirely different entity in terms of its mechanical properties and functional life. These improvements are realised through the adaptation of novel additives, improved manufacturing processes and ultilisation of environment friendly materials. Hence there is added strength, better resistance to the vagaries of the environment and less maintenance than normal concrete while being more satisfactory for complicated designing. This present paper aims at presenting a survey of the current trends in concrete technology, and major concentration will be made on exploring how the new materials in concrete are useful in the enhancement of civil engineering. This research shows the possibility for such materials to revolutionize construction techniques and technologies by focusing on their mechanical characteristics, structural benefits, and durability. Additionally, the paper considers how these developments impact the concrete industry and the practical implications and realisation of new concrete technologies and durable construction. It is believed that this review will be useful for researchers and practitioners in the field and contribute to the expanded understanding of the possibilities and risks connected with the use of advanced concrete materials in civil engineering.

Published: January 2025

Background. To assess the frequency and characteristics of cardiac arrhythmias in relation to cardiac remodeling and blood prolactin levels in patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM). Materials and methods. The study included 104 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of PPCM, classified according to the 1995 WHO guidelines and recommendations from the 2010 Working Group on Peripartum Cardiomyopathy, Association of Heart Failure, EOC. All patients received optimized pharmacological therapy for heart failure (HF). Patients were divided into two groups based on prolactin levels: Group I included 30 patients with elevated prolactin levels exceeding 496 uU/ml (mean 612.2±65.9 uU/ml), and Group II comprised 74 patients with normal prolactin levels below 496 uU/ml (mean 236.3±75.9 uU/ml). Blood samples for prolactin were collected during the manifestation of clinical HF symptoms, from initial inpatient admission up to the 3rd-4th month postpartum.
Results. Comparative analysis revealed that the total number of left ventricular rhythm disturbances (LVRS) was similar across groups, averaging 456.9±215.89 per day in Group I and 398.69±315.89 in Group II (p>0.05). Both groups exhibited a higher prevalence of ventricular ectopic activity during the daytime, with a day/night ratio of 1.34±0.3 in Group I and 1.5±0.44 in Group II (p>0.05).
Conclusion. The findings indicate that patients with PPCM and elevated blood prolactin levels experience significantly more frequent and complex ventricular extrasystole, which could have predictive implications for patient prognosis. Further research is needed to explore the prognostic value of prolactin levels in managing ventricular arrhythmias in PPCM patients.

To investigate the impact of PCI on renal function in IHD patients and identify risk factors for CIN development.
Background. Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a common complication among patients with 
ischemic heart disease (IHD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Understanding the pathogenesis, risk factors, and preventive measures of CIN is essential for reducing morbidity and mortality.
Materials and methods. An analysis was conducted on patients with IHD who underwent PCI with contrast media administration. Renal function indicators, including serum creatinine levels and glomerular filtration rate, were assessed pre- and post-procedure. Clinical manifestations, CIN incidence, and associated risk factors were evaluated.
Results.The incidence of CIN varied based on baseline renal function and comorbidities. Key risk factors included elevated baseline serum creatinine, diabetes mellitus, and advanced age. Hydration therapy was effective in reducing the incidence of nephropathy.
Conclusion. PCI increases the risk of CIN in IHD patients, particularly in those with predisposing risk factors. Comprehensive renal function assessment and preventive measures are recommended prior to the procedure to minimize risk.

Published: January 2025

Background. Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare yet serious condition affecting women during late pregnancy or the postpartum period, often leading to complications such as ventricular arrhythmias and pathological cardiac remodeling. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the frequency and severity of ventricular arrhythmias and the extent of pathological cardiac remodeling in patients with PPCM, highlighting the clinical implications for disease management and prognosis.
Materials and methods. A total of 104 patients with PPCM, treated at the Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Medical Center of Cardiology from 1997 to 2022, were included in this study. Patients were categorized into two groups based on their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF): group I (LVEF <35%) and group II (LVEF 36-45%). Diagnostic criteria followed the European Society of Cardiology guidelines for PPCM. All patients underwent electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography, 24-hour Holter monitoring, and clinical assessments to evaluate cardiac function and arrhythmias. Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential methods.
Results. The average age of patients was 30.15±2.9 years. Most cases (76%) were diagnosed in the postpartum period, with 49% detected within three months after delivery. Ventricular arrhythmias, particularly high-grade arrhythmias (Lown classes III, IVA, IVB), were significantly more frequent in group I. Severe pathological remodeling of the heart, including increased left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic dimensions, was 10% more prevalent in group I compared to group II. Additionally, hypotension and severe sinus tachycardia were more commonly observed in group I patients, further indicating the association between advanced cardiac dysfunction and arrhythmias.
Conclusion. The findings suggest a strong association between ventricular arrhythmias and pathological cardiac remodeling in PPCM patients, particularly those with LVEF <35%. These results underscore the importance of early identification and tailored therapeutic strategies to manage arrhythmias and prevent adverse outcomes in this vulnerable population.

The fragile nature of this environment poses significant challenges when dealing with biodiversity safeguarding and its habitats protection against increasing threats of human activities (Mammola et al., 2019).
Non-Actional Politics and Religion: On the Possibility of a New Political and Religious Relationship
Authors: Bi Congcong
Published: January 2025

Freedom, equality and justice are core categories of mutual conditions in the construction of contemporary political and religious orders. Different understanding and application of the three directly lead to conflicts between countries and religions. “non-action” integrates these basic ideas in a weakly regulated way, bringing the order foundation of politics and religion into a state of harmony, and giving politics and religion non-actional characteristics by analogy. Specifically, the non-actional politics and religion are freedom, which also are spontaneous order, inclusive and virtuous. Therefore, it creates the openness, pluralism and mutual communication of contemporary politics and religion, and makes people and gods systematically related to this world. As a result, the non-actional politics and religion establish a political and religious order based on sacredness, which has freedom, equality and relative justice.
Causes of the Religious Revival in Post-Cultural Revolution China
Authors: Zeng Xiaodong
Published: January 2025

In the studies conducted by overseas scholars on the religious situation in mainland China and the Chinese Communist Party’s religious policies in the post-Cultural Revolution era, a phenomenon that has frequently drawn attention is “religious revival”. In many of these studies, two factors are often identified as the primary causes of this revival: the lingering effects of religious policies during the Cultural Revolution and the direct influence of religious policies during the Reform and Opening-up period. In reality, the “religious revival” after the Cultural Revolution has a political-economic internal cause, aside from the external factor of changes in political environment. This internal cause is related to the inherent nature of religion itself. This article argues that this internal cause is the logical driving force behind the sudden “religious revival” in the post-Cultural Revolution era.

The article investigates methods for extracting valuable components from combustible sludges (i.e., waste, coal, and other combustible materials). Combustible sludges are substances that are generated during production processes or from the extraction of natural resources, containing various chemical elements, including valuable metals. The methods for extracting these components are not only economically efficient but also important from an ecological perspective, as their processing and purification contribute to waste reduction. The study analyzes modern chemical and mechanical extraction methods, examining their effectiveness, safety, and economic aspects. It also explores the possibilities of applying new innovative technologies to optimize these methods and enhance their efficiency.
The Role of Graph-Based Data Science Tools in Uncovering Complex Network Relationships
Authors: Aaesha T. Khanam
Published: January 2025

Graph-based data science tools have emerged as essential methodologies for analyzing and interpreting complex network structures prevalent in a wide range of domains. These tools enable researchers and practitioners to discover hidden patterns, understand community dynamics, identify influential nodes, and reveal intricate relational structures that would otherwise remain elusive. This paper examines the role of graph-based data science approaches in uncovering complex network relationships by exploring key computational frameworks, analytical methods, and visualization techniques. The work delves into the theoretical foundations of graph representations, evaluates the existing literature on graph analytics frameworks, and illustrates how these tools are implemented across various contexts, including social networks, biological interactions, financial markets, and communication networks. Through an empirical methodology, this paper evaluates tool performance and introduces a case study where a real-world social media interaction network is analyzed to identify latent communities and measure node centrality. The results demonstrate that graph-based data science tools allow for more efficient and meaningful exploration of network properties, contributing not only to a more profound understanding of underlying relational structures but also to improved decision-making processes and strategic planning. The paper concludes by underscoring the importance of continued research and development of graph analytics frameworks to better support the evolving complexity and scale of modern data.

Authors: Puyol-Cortez Jorge Luis
Published: January 2025

His study addresses the importance of the development of critical thinking in primary education, a key competence for the integral formation of students in a changing society. Through a documentary analysis, active teaching strategies, such as problem-based learning (PBL) and debate, were examined, highlighting their effectiveness in fostering cognitive, social and emotional skills in the classroom. The exploratory methodology allowed us to identify trends and patterns in recent scientific literature, prioritizing studies from indexed journals and empirically validated active methodologies. The results show that these strategies enhance analysis, reflection and creativity in students, while collaborative work promotes empathy and social cohesion. However, challenges were identified such as the lack of teacher training in critical thinking and institutional resistance to innovative methodologies. The integration of emerging technologies was highlighted as an opportunity to enrich and democratize pedagogical practices, opening new possibilities to overcome structural barriers. In conclusion, the development of critical thinking in primary education requires a comprehensive approach that combines innovative didactic strategies, teacher training and the effective use of technologies, laying the foundations for a more inclusive education adapted to contemporary challenges.

Nietzschean philosophy occupies a significant part in the preliminary blueprints of Deleuze’s philosophy of difference, which relatively encompasses even his collaborative scholarship with Guattari. Hence, this research likewise diagrams some critical affinities between Nietzsche and Deleuze, in conjunction with other contemporary thinkers and issues. My disquisition of the aphorism as a philosophical style and genealogy grounds my engagement with the principles of will to power and the eternal return. Through the evaluative aptitude of the will to power and the differential and ethical powers of the eternal return, genealogy transforms into a philosophical device of critique, diagnosis, and creation. Genealogy criticizes and undermines all dogmatic images of thought; it diagnoses values, forces, and relations; and, it engenders new modes of thinking and living, or what Deleuze and Guattari would later call the world-to- come.

Published: January 2025

This review provides a qualitative overview of school-based smoking cessation programs for adolescents, focusing on motivationally based interventions. Programs such as Project-Ex and Not-On-Tobacco have substantial empirical support, while approaches like Motivational Interviewing combined with the stage of change model show preliminary promise. Successful programs commonly incorporate psychoeducational resources, trained cessation counselors, and collaborative student participation. The review recommends further research to bolster empirical support and identify the most effective program components, addressing implications, limitations, and future research directions.

Authors:   Carleton College in Minnesota, Sage Kara ,   University of Oregon, Baldwin Dare
Published: January 2025

Recent developmental work demonstrates a range of effects of pedagogical cues on childhood learning. The present work investigates natural pedagogy in informal parent-child play. Preschool-aged children participated in free play and a toy task with a parent in addition to a toy task with an experimenter. Sessions were extensively coded for use of pedagogical cues, such as eye contact and pointing. We present a series of analyses investigating the pedagogical cues that characterized natural pedagogy, how these cues related, and how cues bundled into facets. Implications for future research and determining the validity of these measures of natural pedagogy are discussed.

Authors:   University of Toronto, Gumus Sedat , Bulut Okan , Bellibas Mehmet Sukru
Published: January 2025

This study examines the relationship between principal leadership and teacher collaboration in Turkish primary schools. Using multilevel modeling, data from 2,762 teachers in 175 schools were analyzed. The findings indicate that principal leadership is significantly associated with the level of teacher collaboration. Specifically, principals who demonstrate instructional leadership and provide support for teacher professional development foster higher levels of collaboration among teachers. These results suggest that effective principal leadership plays a crucial role in promoting collaborative practices in schools.

Authors:   University of New England, Yamada Kiyomi
Published: January 2025

This paper explores, from a sociocultural perspective, the nature and functions of zemi or seminars in which Japanese undergraduate students received group supervision for research and thesis writing. The study also investigates how the zemi contributed to completion of their theses. It was found that the zemi provided contexts for teaching and learning in which, via assigned tasks, formal teaching, oral presentations and discussions, students acquired new knowledge and skills for undertaking research and completing a thesis. The solidarity, friendship and close bonds which were built among the members of the zemi motivated and encouraged them to achieve their goals.

Authors:   The University of Melbourne, Yim Laetitia , Waters Lea
Published: January 2025

This study explores mentoring between supervisors and their postgraduate students by: (a) investigating types of mentoring functions offered in academic mentoring relationships, (b) exploring perceptions of supervisors and their postgraduate students about provisions for mentoring support, and (c) examining how interpersonal comfort, attributional confidence, and communication quality relate in mentoring relationships. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used on 148 students matched with their supervisors. Results indicated that interpersonal comfort, attributional confidence, and communication quality were positively associated with psychosocial and instrumental support in mentoring relationships. Supervisors rated themselves as providing significantly more support than their students rated them.
Rethinking Teacher Education: Synchronizing Eastern and Western Views of Teaching and Learning to Promote 21st Century Skills and Global Perspectives
Authors:   East Carolina University, Smith Judith , Hu Ran
Published: January 2025

The purpose of the study was to share findings with educators across disciplines on how to incorporate a blended philosophy of teaching and learning from both Eastern and Western perspectives to promote 21st-century skills and global perspectives. Drawing from a previous self-study of their views of teaching and learning between Chinese and American cultures, the two assistant professors investigated how their blended philosophies affected teaching and learning to promote 21st-century skills. They found that studying their own philosophies of teaching and learning heightened awareness of the necessity to incorporate new knowledge of best practices from other cultures.

Authors:   Abu Dhabi University, United Arab Emirates, Al-Zyoud Mohammad Sayel ,   The University of Nottingham, Brown Eleanor J. , Morgan W. John
Published: January 2025

This study examines the presence of peace education in Jordan and England from the perspective of teachers. It adopts a qualitative research approach by interviewing a sample of 80 teachers, both female and male, from English and Jordanian secondary schools. Results indicate that peace education is a vital part of scholarly life in both countries. In England, teachers supplement peace education by cooperating with international organizations and by teaching human rights issues in subject areas such as geography, citizenship, history, English literature, and religion. To promote peace between cultures, teachers in England educate students about diverse religions by hosting events on religious occasions, such as the Islamic Eid and Ramadan, and by arranging international food festivals. Furthermore, teachers in England arrange field trips to areas with cultural minorities so that students may experience other lifestyles and traditions by, for example, dining at non-English restaurants and visiting mosques, churches, and temples. Nevertheless, results also show that teachers in England discuss military conflict with students in a very limited way. Meanwhile, Jordanian teachers educate students about the values of tolerance in a practical way by hosting activities inside and outside the classroom for subjects such as Islam, citizenship, Arabic, English, literature, and history. Jordanian teachers implement different pedagogies to promote cultural tolerance among students, such as by teaching students about human rights, encouraging students to express their views and feelings regarding all issues without feeling restricted, and discussing problems with teachers and classmates inside and outside the classroom. Jordanian teachers also organize a range of activities to promote human rights, religions, and cultures.
ההופכי של התקינות הפוליטית: מבט פסיכואנליטי על שיח האדון
Authors: יושינסקי אורית
Published: January 2025

מסה זו מפתחת את התקינות הפוליטית כתופעה הנטועה בשיח האדון המודרני שהאנליטיקאי ז'אק לאקאן מכנה אותו שיח האוניברסיטה. שיח האוניברסיטה הוא שיח של האמיתות המוסכמות של הידע המדעי המעודכן, הנענה כיום לפוליטיקת הזהויות ולתביעותיה להכרה ולהכלה. התקינות הפוליטית היא הרטוריקה שמבטאת מוסכמות פוליטיות-מדעיות אלו. בתוך כך, התקינות הפוליטית מאפשרת ייצוג לקבוצות חברתיות רבות יותר ויותר וליחידים המזדהים עם קבוצות אלו. אולם היא מחמיצה את הסובייקט שנושא לעולם יסוד מציק ואנטגוניסטי בלתי ניתן לשיכוך, שאינו מזדהה לגמרי עם הזהות הקבוצתית. השיח האנליטי, כהופכי לשיח האדון, יכול להציע מענה לסובייקט שהזדהותו איננה מלאה; הוא מציע אומר טוב (bien-dire), שהוא פירוש אנליטי, ביטוי אניגמטי המיועד לכל סובייקט באידיוסינקרטיות שלו ושלה. האומר הטוב נוגע בכל אחת ואחד באופן שיודע-לעשות עם היסוד המציק והבלתי פתיר של הסובייקט.
