Authors: Fauziyah Hayyin Nur
Published: July 2022

Gadgets provide positive and negative impacts for their users. The excessive intensity of the use of gadgets makes children vulnerable to the negative effects of gadgets. The intensity of the use of gadget can be influenced by the type of parenting applied by the parents. The treatment given by the parents will affect the child. This study aims to identify how children's behavior and the intensity of gadget in authoritarian, democratic and permissive parenting. This intensity is seen from aspects of parenting such as parental demands, forms of parental supervision and communication that occurs between children and parents regarding the use of gadgets. This study uses a qualitative approach to the type of phenomenology. Phenomenology is a type of research where researchers find out by seeing and hearing the explanations and behavior of informants. Based on the analysis of the data found, it is known that authoritarian parenting has high demands on children and has many rules. So the intensity of using gadgets is low. For democratic parenting, parents supervise but sometimes give freedom. So that the intensity of children's use of gadgets is higher than authoritarian parenting. While permissive parenting, parents give freedom to children. Children and parents also rarely have time to communicate. So that the intensity of the use of gadgets in this permissive parenting pattern is high.

Published: July 2022

Background: The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to systematically evaluate a risk prediction model for the readmission of patients with CHF.
Methods: The search was carried out in databases including PubMed, Embase, EBSCO, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and also domestic databases including Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese Academic Journal Full Text Database, Wanfang Database, and Vipu Chinese Journal Service Platform. All the original studies published by July 2021. Two researchers identified previous studies involving readmission risk prediction models that met our selection criteria. The quality of the included studies was evaluated based on the CHARMS checklist, and the prediction models were systematically evaluated.
Results: Of the overall 4787 studies retrieved, nine studies—two prospective, seven retrospective—met our selection criteria. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve exceeded 0.63 (0.63-0.80) for all the studies. The most common predictors in the model were B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) or N-terminal pro-brain BNP (Odds Ratio 4.35; 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.53–7.49; P<0.001), renal insufficiency (Odds Ratio 1.60; 95%CI 1.24–2.08; P<0.001), comorbidities, and a history of hospitalization.
Conclusion: The use of non-parametric statistical methods and assessment of large samples of electronic data improve the predictive abilities of the risk assessment models. It is necessary to calibrate and verify such models and promote the combined use of parametric and non-parametric methods to establish precise predictive models for clinical use.

Authors: Arian Mahdieh , Valinejadi Ali , Soleimani Mohsen
Published: July 2022

Background: Application of technology in virtual or remote cardiac rehabilitation programs can resolve the challenge of accessing healthcare services and reduce access level inequalities. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of technology on different clinical outcomes in cardiac rehabilitation programs used for cardiovascular (CVD) patients.
Methods: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and a comprehensive evidence map of overview was used. Two researchers searched electronic databases such as Science Direct, Medline / PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest, Google Scholar and Cochrane library at the time of publication until Mar 21, 2021.
Results: Of 51 reviews published, most of them have reported that the virtual or remote cardiac rehabilitation had a positive effect on most outcomes compared to usual care, and the difference in the type of comparison group and the high heterogeneity in reviews with inconsistent results are due to different technologies used in the interventions, follow-up duration, the type of heart disease, tools, and reporting methods, the quality of the reviews, and the quality of the primary studies included in the reviews.
Conclusion: Two important factors before choosing the remote cardiac rehabilitation technology include the complexity of technology and the level of satisfaction and acceptability of the interventions among participants. The simplicity of the interventions increases the acceptability level, and the more complex design and advanced monitoring level during the interventions and the need for specific equipment affect cost saving, so it is important to consider the above cases while choosing the type of technology.

Background: We aimed to examine the quality of life of children who engage in regular physical activities.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study with intersectional 301 children (182 boys and 119 girls) involved in regular sporting activities and the control group of 100 children (67 boys and 33 girls), not involved in extracurricular sports. Children in both groups were from 8 to 13 years, attending elementary school, and without any associated illnesses. The quality of life (QOL) was assessed using the Quality of Life questionnaire Kidscreen-27 version for parents. For comparison of groups, we used χ2 test, and for comparison of mean values among groups we used ANOVA test.
Results: More boys were engaged in sport than girls and the choice of sport is gender-dependent (P<0.01). Boys preferred collective sports, while girls were more oriented towards individual sports (P<0.01). A significant statistical difference in the mean values of the socializing dimension was given to children who trained football (P=0.04) and basketball (P=0.02). In children engaged in volleyball, a statistical difference in the mean values was observed in all dimensions of the questionnaire. In children who trained water polo, a statistically significant difference in the mean values for dimensions of health (P<0.01), mood (P<0.01) and friendship (P=0.01) was seen.
Conclusion: KIDSCREEN scores were significantly higher in the examined group than in the control group, with a statistically significant difference between scores for different sports. Children involved in regular extra-curricular physical activities had better QOL.

Published: July 2022

Background: Crohn's disease (CD) has a chronic course, which its recurrence varies widely among different patients. In this study we prospectively analyzed blood samples of 19 CD patients. Alteration in transcription of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines was analyzed compared with household members after three month follow up.
Methods: CD patients were diagnosed based on clinical symptoms, endoscopic and histopathologic characteristics. Nineteen CD patients and their households were evaluated from Jun 2019 to Feb 2021 at Tehran university hospitals. CD activity score, biological, clinical and demographic data of the patients were recorded at two time point intervals. Bacteriological tests were done using aerobic and anaerobic blood cultures. To investigate transcriptional alterations, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated using Ficol centrifugation method and relative quantitative real-time PCR was done to determine the expression level of IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL10, and FOXP3 cytokines.
Results: Our results showed a correlation between fecal calprotectin level (709.8 ± 554.6), C-reactive protein concentration (18.1 ± 15.9), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (30.4 ± 17.9) with disease activity (Flare/remission). IL10 and Foxp3 anti-inflammatory gene’s expression were significantly (P = 0.003 for IL10 and P = 0.008 Foxp3) higher during the flare and remission in patients with active disease respectively. Bacteriological examination showed infection with Streptococcus spp. and Clostridium spp. in two CD patients during flares, which was correlated with upregulation and down-regulation of IL10, TNF-α, IFN-γ and FOXP3 proteins, respectively.
Conclusion: Occurrence of bacteremia, and higher amount of CAP, CRP and ESR are correlated with higher level of transcription for inflammatory cytokines, which could effectively reflect the disease activity. Raise in FoxP3 transcription proposed change in Treg sub-population in PBMC or its activity during the CD remission phase.

„Najstraszliwszy smok na tej ziemi”. O samoświadomości czytelniczej dziecka, podpatrywanej przez pośrednika lektury
Authors: Mazan-Mazurkiewicz Alicja
Published: July 2022

Artykuł wyrasta z dwojakiej inspiracji: profesjonalnego zainteresowania literaturą i książką dziecięcą oraz osobistego doświadczenia mamy dwóch córek (dziesięcioletniej i pięcioletniej). Prawie dziesięć lat praktykowania roli pośrednika lektury zaowocowało wieloma obserwacjami, dotyczącymi rozwoju kompetencji lekturowych i samoświadomości czytelniczej dzieci. Autorka artykułu była i nadal jest świadkiem i w jakiejś mierze współuczestnikiem procesu inicjacji literackiej. Proces ten może postrzegać w pogłębionej perspektywie: całościowego rozwoju dwóch (bardzo różnych) dziecięcych osobowości. Punktem wyjścia jest zatem autentyczne, indywidualne doświadczenie, nie teoria. Dlatego obserwacje, którymi autorka pragnie się podzielić, nie mają cech syntetycznego ujęcia. Podstawową kwestią, podjętą w artykule, jest stosunek dziecka do samej literackości, rozumienie fikcji literackiej. Cytat (z wypowiedzi młodszej córki), który posłużył jako cząstka tytułu, ma w intencji autorki wymiar metafory. „Ta ziemia” jest bowiem sferą literackości właśnie. Wiele obserwacji dotyczy reakcji córek autorki na stronę graficzną książek dziecięcych. W tej dziedzinie dziecko bywa szczególnie uważnym i wymagającym odbiorcą. Chętnie podejmuje interpretację przekazów wizualnych. Dziecięce komentarze (szczególnie bezlitosne wychwytywanie błędnych sugestii niesionych niekiedy przez ilustracje), powinny w przekonaniu autorki stać się obiektem szerszych badań. Ich rezultaty mogłyby stać się przydatne redaktorom wydawnictw oraz samym ilustratorom.
Rapid Generation Advance Methods to Fast-track Crop Breeding: A Review
Authors: Ghosh Swarnadip , Roy Abhik , Dutta Suman
Published: July 2022

Rapid generation advance is a collection of breeding tools for quicker development of homozygous lines from the segregating generations raised from a cross of two divergent parents. An array of techniques including single seed descent, speed breeding, shuttle breeding, doubled haploidy, marker assisted breeding and genomic selection were designed to achieve the maximum genetic gain through reducing the time required for development of such homozygous lines. In addition, utilization of genome editing in agronomically important crops further enhances the genetic advance to alleviate the food supply shortage. Therefore, utilization of these techniques could be more advantageous than the conventional breeding approaches in terms of speed and logistic support. Combination of these methods allows breeders to develop agronomically superior varieties in a very short period of time.

Published: July 2022

La educación bilingüe se ha extendido en España debido a su potencial para el aprendizaje de lenguas. Sin embargo, pocos estudios examinan las percepciones sobre el éxito lingüístico (como combinación de competencia intercultural, empleabilidad y movilidad) de los egresados de estos programas y el efecto de realizar cursos formativos en el extranjero. Este artículo analiza si la participación en cursos de formación en otros países y en enseñanza bilingüe española condiciona las percepciones sobre el éxito lingüístico de los graduados de programas bilingües. El estudio utiliza una encuesta online mediante Facebook Audience Insights. El 19,2 % de los encuestados afirma haber participado en programas bilingües y el 38,6 % declara haber realizado cursos en otro país. Los resultados revelan mayor éxito lingüístico auto-percibido en los egresados de programas bilingües y de dichos cursos y, animan a seguir investigando sobre el potencial de estos programas y las experiencias formativas en el extranjero.

Los resultados confirman la existencia de tal relación y las conclusiones indican que es conveniente profundizar en la investigación para descubrir de qué manera los dos procesamientos pueden beneficiarse mutuamente, con el objetivo de potenciar el aprendizaje en ambas areas.
Testing Conversational Implicature in the TOEIC Examination. Investigando la Implicatura Conversacional en el Examen de TOEIC
Authors: Martínez Celis Andrea , Maíz Arévalo Carmen
Published: July 2022

La incorrecta inferencia de la implicatura conversacional a menudo puede conducir a una ruptura comunicativa entre los interlocutores que comparten la misma primera lengua (L1), y ciertamente puede conllevar un grado adicional de esfuerzo por parte de los aprendices de una segunda lengua (L2). Por esta razón, es un tema que debe abordarse en los cursos de segundas lenguas (L2) para que los estudiantes estén preparados para poder comunicarse con éxito en contextos reales. Sin embargo, enseñar a los alumnos a inferir el significado pragmático correctamente cuando se enfrentan a la implicatura conversacional plantea la cuestión de cómo probar si estos alumnos han logrado inferir dicho significado pragmático. Este artículo pretende ampliar la investigación en esta área centrándose en el examen TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) en un grupo de cincuenta estudiantes universitarios que han realizado la última versión del examen, donde se incluyen implicaturas conversacionales en las secciones de Listening y Reading. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes parecen tener un mejor desempeño en la sección de comprensión auditiva que en la sección de comprensión lectora gracias a las señales paralingüísticas. Los ejercicios de comprensión lectora plantean más problemas y podrían beneficiarse de una instrucción explícita y una mayor competencia lingüística.

Introduction to the Special Issue "On Communicative Skills in Foreign Language Teaching and Academic Language Instruction: Tools, Resources and Methods in the Digital Era"
Authors: Sánchez Fajardo José Antonio , Vargas Sierra Chelo
Published: July 2022

This volume, as hinted by the title, adds to the current debate between foreign and academic language instruction and digital resources (or methods). Such debate has been particularly present in the last two years during Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, in which teachers and instructors have been challenged to design fully digital resources to continue with their intended syllabuses. Regardless of the outcomes of the pandemic, one silver lining is that this new situation has had an impact on pedagogical approaches, particularly those that are most significant to language instruction and practice, thus “[showing] promise for assuring that [language learners] can develop academic language proficiency” (Ranney, 2012, p. 560). The need to find effective strategies and methods, conceived to enhance language learners’ fluency and communicative (and academic) achievement, conforms to, among others, the long-standing theories on interpersonal communicative skills and language academic proficiency (Cummins 1981; 2000). These theories, especially those revolving around the so-called Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS) and Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency (CALP), demonstrate that linguistic resources should be necessarily adapted to the scopes of social interaction and interpersonal communication.
Crisis de refugiados, discurso de la prensa y el ascenso de la derecha xenófobo-populista
Authors: Suau Dolón Andrés
Published: July 2022

Estamos viviendo un ciclo político en el que la ultraderecha en Europa está resurgiendo de forma innegable e imparable. Los nuevos partidos de derecha radical populista tienen un fuerte perfil xenófobo que extrae rédito de la crisis de los refugiados. Este estudio trata de averiguar, dentro de la multiplicidad de factores que contribuyen al comportamiento político, cuál es el papel de la prensa en este auge xenófobo-populista. Mediante técnicas cualitativas y cuantitativas, fundamentadas en el análisis del discurso y la estadística descriptiva, se pretende esclarecer la relación entre la crisis de los refugiados, la prensa, y la ultraderecha en tres casos comparados, a saber, España, Francia e Italia. Mediante un uso simbiótico de campos semánticos, regresiones y análisis cuantitativo, se logra confirmar la mayoría de hipótesis sobre los efectos del encuadre que utiliza la prensa sobre el comportamiento político.

Los resultados revelaron que no se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los grupos de español L1 y español L1/L2, mientras que el grupo de inglés L1/L2 produjo más conjunciones que el grupo de inglés L1. No se encontró evidencia de influencia interlingüística. Parece que la competencia lingüística y la formación en escritura académica pueden ser más relevantes que ser un escritor académico nativo o no nativo.
Sexist drafting and translation of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU
Authors: López Medel Maria
Published: July 2022

The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU (adopted in 2000 and legally binding since 2009) was the object of criticism during its process of drafting, among other issues, on gender grounds for the use of sexist language, the lack of gender mainstreaming, and not having a clearer stance on the support of equality between women and men.

This article lists the main amendments that were submitted in this respect. The final version of the Charter was modified to eliminate sexist language in the original English text but not in other language versions, as we will see in the analysis.

Based on the European Institute for Gender Equality’s definition of non-sexist use of language as the avoidance of ambiguous masculine gender, we will highlight the appearance of so-called generic masculine in the Charter’s versions in English, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese.

Finally, a proposal of non-sexist Spanish translation is included with the hope to demonstrate the functional adequacy, simplicity and need to implement non-sexist translation and drafting of an EU text.
Experiencias de inglés como medio de instrucción. Centrarse en la forma como una estrategia para desarrollar la alfabetización específica de la materia
Authors: Velilla Sánchez María Ángeles
Published: July 2022

Este artículo tiene por objetivo analizar clases magistrales de inglés como medio de instrucción en la Universidad de Zaragoza (España) para definir hasta qué punto el inglés es sólo el “medio” o la “lengua franca” para obtener un propósito de enseñanza-aprendizaje respecto al contenido de las asignaturas o si estas clases también son sensibles al aprendizaje del idioma. El estudio aborda comentarios metalingüísticos realizados por los profesores durante sus clases en las que se “prestan atención a la forma", es decir, cambian del contenido relacionado con las asignaturas a aspectos formales de la lengua (ej., vocabulario, pronunciación, etc.). Estos comentarios metalingüísticos se analizan como una estrategia pragmática entre otras empleadas por los profesores para prevenir y superar las dificultades de comprensión que experimentan sus alumnos. El corpus del estudio consta de 14 horas de clases magistrales grabadas en en dos disciplinas diferentes (Administración de Empresas y Nanociencia). La metodología se basa en un análisis discursivo-pragmático de las transcripciones de las clases, así como en entrevistas semiestructuradas con los profesores para comprender su percepción sobre el propio uso de esta y otras estrategias pragmáticas. Los resultados del estudio contribuyen a evidenciar el apoyo de los docentes de inglés como medio de instrucción a sus estudiantes con el lenguaje disciplinar a pesar de no considerarse a sí mismos como expertos en enseñanza de lengua extranjera.

Theory From The Big Bang to Big Crunch and Eternal Vacuum Space
Authors: Ladhani Amrit
Published: July 2022

We propose a cosmological model in which the Big Bang was not the beginning of space and time; there was a previous phase leading up to it, with multiple cycles of contraction and expansion that repeat indefinitely; from big bang to big crunch. The observed accelerated expansion, which relates the change in the space, to change in the stretching of shrink space for the new theory, is derived. As pressure of shrink space decreases, the expansion of space increases, that is although in general, decelerate in the pressure of shrink space leads to accelerate the stretching of space. (pressure of shrink space approaching zero at the end of accelerated expansion, or when all the shrinked space stretches), after that a period of slow contraction begins, thus bringing the universe back to contract to its initial state, ending in a Big Crunch. The universe will not always continue to expanding, no need however, for dark energy. The new definition of eternal space enables us to describe a sequence of events from the Big Bang to the Big Crunch.
Exploring Desertification in Coastal Groundwater-Dependent Agriculture through an Integrated Simulation Model

Groundwater degradation is a global problem linked to irrigation agriculture and aggravated by climate change. In drylands, where aquifer recharge is low, irrigation has emerged as an engine of economic growth. This problem falls under the paradigm of desertification, as it fits the definition of this complex problem in that the degradation of drylands is due to climatic variations and inappropriate human activities. Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN), the response of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification to the lack of progress in tackling desertification, is integrated into Sustainable Development Goal 15.3 and provides the adequate framework for implementing effective solutions. LDN prioritizes prevention strategies, and early warning systems coupled to integrated simulation models is a sound approach. We analyze the dynamics of a coastal aquifer in southern Spain, a “desertification landscape” according to the Spanish National Action Plan to Combat Desertification. For this purpose, we have (i) adapted a generic desertification model that considers socio-ecological systems as a particular case of predator-prey systems; and (ii) coupled to this model a risk analysis to calculate the probabilities of groundwater salinization under the current scenario of water resources use, driven by the expansion of greenhouse agriculture supported by external water transfer. The risk of desertification is close to 100%: groundwater salinity is 40 dS m-1 (well above tomato tolerance, 3.5 dS m-1), and 2.4 Mm3 yr–1 water transfer is needed to support the 631 ha of greenhouses. This worrying result suggests that complimentary solutions should be promoted to deactivate the ongoing process of desertification. Among them, we propose reclaimed water, diversifying the economy, or promoting crops adapted to aridity. This simulation framework shows how to explore the future of a socio-ecosystem under current scenarios and others that consider climate change, the energy crisis, or the impact of alternative solutions.

The aim of this study is to test the effectiveness and safety of AE-AE surgery combining otoendoscopy and surgical microscopy in the treatment of acquired pars flaccida cholesteatoma in stages Ib and II of the Japan Otological Society classification occupying the tympanic cavity and attic. A historical cohort study on 65 patients. Of the total, 44 patients were treated by AE-AE surgery using an otoendoscope and 21 with canal wall-up tympanomastoidectomy (CWUT). Patients in whom the AE-AE technique was performed had a lower recurrence rate (9%) compared to those treated with CWUT (38%); p=0.013. In addition, the median time to recurrence was lower in the AE-AE group (4 years [P25-75= 1.25-2-75]) than in CWUT group (2 years [P25-75= 3.25-4.75]); p=0.048. Thresholds were higher in the CWUT group compared to the AE-AE group in pre-surgery (53±16 vs 44±15; p=0.039) and post-surgery (52±18 vs 42±16 dB dB; p=0.042), but not in pre-post-surgery comparisons neither in the AE-AE technique (p= 0.89) nor in the CWUT technique (p= 0.96). We concluded that AE with otoendoscopic support is an effective and safe technique for acquired cholesteatomas occupying box and attic in stages IB and II.

Published: July 2022

The specialisation and intensification in agriculture have increased the productivity but have also led to the spread of monocultural systems, simplifying production and reducing genetic diversity. The purpose of this study was to propose crop diversification as a tool to increase biodiversity and achieve sustainable and resilient intensive agriculture, particularly in areas with water scarcity. In this paper, a combined Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Costing (LCC) was applied to evaluate the environmental and economic sustainability of a differentiated system of cultivation (pomegranate, almond and olive), according to modern intensive and superintensive cropping systems. Based upon the results obtained, it is deduced that pomegranate cultivation generated the highest environmental load, followed by almond and olive. From the financial analysis, it emerged that almond is the most profitable, followed by pomegranate and olive.
Evolution of Necrotizing Periodontitis in a Patient with Multiple Sclerosis

Published: July 2022

Multiple sclerosis (MS) and necrotizing periodontitis (NP) are two diseases whose aetiology and pathophysiology do not seem to have a common link; however, the treatment of MS with monoclonal antibodies and the decrease in humoral immunity that this entails can be a trigger or an aggravation in patients who present NP. We present a clinical case of NP in which its clinical manifestations, treatment and evolution during therapy with ocrelizumab are reflected. During the evolution of the case, a rapid progression of NP was evidenced. During her evolution, the patient suffered bilateral pneumonia due to COVID requiring treatment with corticosteroids and antibiotics, which led to clinical relief of her NP. Given this important clinical finding, we consider of great interest the regulated dental monitoring of those patients with MS before, during and after the administration of monoclonal antibodies to prevent periodontal deterioration.
