Published: March 2021

The present article is concerned with identifying the linguistic and extralinguistic features of Instagram, Twitter, and Live Journal hypertexts, depending on their functional focus. The relevance of the topic is due to the need for a more detailed study of Internet communication from the point of view of functional and stylistic aspects. The study provides a comparative analysis of Instagram, Twitter, and Live Journal online services based on the Russian language material. The results are correlated with the questionnaire data on the studied problem. The article discusses graphic, lexical, stylistic, syntactic, and spelling features. The authors conducted a comparative analysis of the hypertexts of Instagram, Twitter, and Live Journal online services in the context of their functions; identified linguistic and extralinguistic features of the hypertext of the services under study; established the relationship between the language of the text and the function implemented. It has been established that all three online services perform, first of all, a communicative function, which is expressed through the use of slang, vernacular, online discourse vocabulary, graphic means, markers of increased emotionality, recreation of a specific accent/dialect, spelling and punctuation violations, incomplete, unextended sentences. Along with the socialization function, Instagram performs the function of self-presentation, for the implementation of which the authors of publications resort to linguistic creativity. Unlike Instagram, Twitter, and Live Journal fulfill a more political function, expressed in stylistic devices such as metaphor, comparison, irony, hyperbole, and repetition. The results were verified using a questionnaire survey conducted among Russian students.

Published: March 2021

Students should be able to develop their communication abilities instead of just concentrating on translation methods. As a result, Communicative Teaching Language (CLT) had become the most favored approach to achieving the verbal goal as it was known as the most effective strategy to enhance learners' communicative competence. However, it was not a one-size-fits-all approach, and language instructors were advised to integrate educational technology to develop learning for students. Hence, CLT Mandarin mobile learning via personal action research was conducted to determine the extent of the approach on students' oral learning attainment, attitudes, and learners' recommendations during the learning process. The communicative task used in this study was Chatting to Mandarin Native Speakers programme. Pre- and post-oral assessments had been conducted in response to research inquiries. In verifying the reliability and validity of the study, data were triangulated through students' oral assessments, Students' Diaries, Self-Reflective Journals and Focus Group Interviews. The outcomes showed that students enjoyed the activity and improved their confidence and oral competence. Also, they suggested that there should be more language activities. The findings indicated that, when designing CLT technology-integrated projects, an instructor needed to consider students' learning preferences which make the project a success.

Teoria da argumentação jurídica em confronto com o populismo judicial
Authors: Gabardo Emerson , Viana Ana Cristina Aguilar , Wasilewski Dione J.
Published: March 2021

Na obra “Os onze”, Felipe Recondo e Luiz Weber retratam os bastidores do Supremo Tribunal Federal, no Brasil. Segundo os autores, os onze guardiões da Constituição fazem uso da opinião pública como fundamento, distanciando-se das razões substanciais que deveriam embasar as decisões. Esse problema se encaixa no que é denominado pela doutrina como “populismo judicial”. A hipótese do artigo é que mediante o uso “metapositivista” de teóricos da argumentação jurídica, a Corte brasileira realmente atua de forma populista. A metodologia do trabalho é descritiva e lógico-dedutiva. A investigação analisa a bibliografia a respeito do tema, abordando criticamente a teoria da argumentação jurídica. O artigo descreve a evolução do pensamento jurídico que conduziu à adoção do uso de argumentos persuasivos e das técnicas da razão prática na solução das questões jurídicas, em complemento à utilização dos postulados da razão teórica. O texto relata a defesa realizada por Theodor Viehweg e Chaïm Perelman do uso da tópica e da retórica no Direito para, em seguida, apresentar a temática desenvolvida por Robert Alexy concernente ao discurso jurídico como modalidade específica de discurso prático. Ao final, analisa a colaboração de Aulis Aarnio ao estudo da relação entre linguagem e Direito com o objetivo de interpretação do ordenamento jurídico e obtenção de uma resposta racional para o caso concreto. Ao fim, conclui que estas teorias podem ser utilizadas como parâmetro para uma crítica ao populismo judicial, encarnado nos “onze” do STF.
Decoding Algorithm by Cooperation Between Hartmann Rudolph Algorithm and a Decoder Based on Syndrome and Hash
Authors: Alaoui My Seddiq El Kasmi , Nouh Said
Published: March 2021

In this paper, the authors present a concatenation of Hartmann and Rudolph (HR) partially exploited and a decoder based on hash techniques and syndrome calculation to decode linear block codes. This work consists firstly to use the HR with a reduced number of codewords of the dual code then the HWDec which exploits the output of the HR partially exploited. Researchers have applied the proposed decoder to decode some Bose, Chaudhuri, and Hocquenghem (BCH) and quadratic residue (QR) codes. The simulation and comparison results show that the proposed decoder guarantees very good performances, compared to several competitors, with a much-reduced number of codewords of the dual code. For example, for the BCH(31, 16, 7) code, the good results found are based only on 3.66% of the all codewords of the dual code space, for the same code the reduction rate of the run time varies between 78% and 90% comparing to the use of Hartmann and Rudolph alone. This shows the efficiency, the rapidity, and the reduction of the memory space necessary for the proposed concatenation.

Artificial Neural Network to Predict the Effect of Obesity on the Risk of Tuberculosis Infection
Authors: Badawi Alaa , Liu Christina J. , Rihem Anas A. , Gupta Alind
Published: March 2021

Background

Body weight has been implicated as a risk factor for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and the active disease.

Design and methods

This study aimed to develop artificial neural network (ANN) models for predicting LTBI from body weight and other host-related disease risk factors. We used datasets from participants of the US-National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES; 2012; n=5,156; 514 with LTBI and 4,642 controls) to develop three ANNs employing body mass index (BMI, Network I), BMI and HbA1C (as a proxy for diabetes; Network II) and BMI, HbA1C and education (as a proxy for socioeconomic status; Network III). The models were trained on n=1018 age- and sex-matched subjects equally distributed between the control and LTBI groups. The endpoint was the prediction of LTBI.

Results

When data was adjusted for age, sex, diabetes and level of education, odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for risk of LTBI with increased BMI was 0.85 (95%CI: 0.77 – 0.96, p=0.01). The three ANNs had a predictive accuracy varied from 75 to 80% with sensitivities ranged from 85% to 94% and specificities of approximately 70%. Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were between 0.82 and 0.87. Optimal ANN performance was noted using BMI as a risk indicator.

Conclusion

Body weight can be employed in developing artificial intelligence-based tool to predict LTBI. This can be useful in precise decision making in clinical and public health practices aiming to curb the burden of tuberculosis, e.g., in the management and monitoring of the tuberculosis prevention programs and to evaluate the impact of healthy weight on tuberculosis risk and burden.

Published: March 2021

Over recent decades, systemic inflammation  as  quantified  with  inflammation  markers  or  indices has been extensively  investigated  in the setting of  various  cardiovascular  conditions  including heart failure (HF),  acute coronary syndromes (ACS). In contrast, systemic inflammation  in patients with  takotsubo syndrome (TTS) has been an underrated  phenomenon in clinical practice. On the other hand, experimental and clinical data  have been  rapidly  accumulating  in the recent years  regarding   pathogenetic, prognostic as well as therapeutic implications of  systemic inflammation in TTS.  Accordingly, the present article  aims to provide a general perspective  on mechanistic and  clinical aspects of  systemic  inflammation in the setting of  TTS.

Published: March 2021

Background:

Laparoscopic-Warshaw technique (lap-WT) may be selected as a function-preserving operation for malignant border lesions in the tail region of the pancreas. However, previous reports showed that there are complications such as infection and abscess formation due to lack of blood flow to the spleen after surgery. To overcome the problems, we have performed real-time vessel navigation by using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence during lap-WT.

Materials and Methods:

We report our experience of three patients with pancreatic tumour who underwent real-time vessel navigation during lap-WT at Hokkaido University from May 2017 to September 2018.

Results:

The median operating time was 339 min (174–420). The median intraoperative bleeding was 150 ml (0–480). There were no incidences of complications. There were no cases with post-operative spleen ischaemia or abscess formation and varices formation.

Conclusion:

We believe that laparoscopic real-time vessel navigation using indocyanine green fluorescence during lap-WT could contribute in reducing the post-operative spleen-related complications.

Published: March 2021

Quality and standards of services in healthcare have become essential for the current generation of healthcare providers and beneficiaries, that is, patients. Healthcare accreditation has become the most important tool for improving the standard of the hospitals and thereafter benchmarking. Most hospitals and healthcare providers are differentiated and evaluated according to their organizational performance and quality. National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH) is an integral board of the Quality Council of India (QCI), which has been established to operate an accreditation program for healthcare organizations/institutions globally. Accreditation is a public recognition awarded to healthcare organizations that fulfill the standards laid by NABH through an independent external assessment, conducted by a qualified team of assessors. In India, healthcare organizations face a lot of burden on the number of patients. However, it is important to have a keen quality and standards of services to such a huge number of patients without compromise. NABH helps with its standards controlling the standard of care and services by the health industry in different areas. There is a constant need that many such organizations are motivated to undergo an accreditation process to have uniformity in the standard of services worldwide as it is a voluntary act in India.
In silico BRCA1 pathway analysis in breast invasive carcinoma
Authors: Shah Zafar Abbas , Nouroz Faisal , Tayyeb Asima
Published: March 2021

Recent developments in clinical patient-based personalized genomics explored a variety of biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy in breast invasive carcinoma (BRIC). BRCA1 mutations mediated a catastrophic situation for a damage-repairing apparatus that induced malignant transformation of breast tissue. To identify an association between BRCA1 regulatory behavior and the pathway-level proteome for determining drug discovery channels, here we developed a computational scheme for BRCA1 pathway dataset retrieval from PathCards: PATHWAY UNIFICATION DATABASE (1,073 superpaths of 3,215 human pathways from 12 sources), BRCA1 pathway regulation analysis from cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics (more than 40 datasets of above 13,000 cancer samples), and BRC1 network construction from STRING v11.0 database (24,584,628 proteins of 5,090 organisms). Our study reveals about 700 alterations of 64 pathway components in 482 BRIC samples, in which there were 422 loss-of-function (LOF) mutations and 278 amplifications. We found 19 members (BRCA1, BRCA2, FANCA, ATM, NBN, SMARCD2, HDAC9, PLK1, SMARCA4, POU2F1, TP53, HDAC2, HLTF, BLM, E2F4, UBC, E2F5, MRE11, and RB1) based on a minimum 2% participation that showed 541 alterations in which there were 193 amplifications and 348 LOF mutations. From 19 components, BRCA1, BRCA2, FANCA, ATM, and TP53 have high-level LOF mutations whereas E2F5, NBN, SMARCD2, and POU2F1 have prominent amplifications. We developed three modules in which the BRCA1 module has 12 members that are involved in damage sensing and repairing processes as hot spots showing overexpression and LOF mutations. This in silico approach uniquely addressed BRCA1 mutations’ influence on BRIC at the pathway proteome level, with module identification as a hub for drug designing. We proposed these proteins as biomarkers for first-class diagnosis and clinical investigations. In the future, BRCA1 pathway-related therapeutic markers are used for further experimental investigations regarding drug development in breast cancer biology.

Published: March 2021

The performance of seawater hybrid NF/RO desalination plant including permeate conductivity; permeate flow rate and permeate recovery. Under different feed parameters time, inlet temperature, inlet pressure, inlet conductivity and inlet flow rate were modelled by Artificial Neural Network (ANN) back-propagation based on Levenberg– Marquardt training algorithm. The optimal ANN model had a 5-8-3 architecture with a hyperbolic tangent transfer function in hidden layer and linear transfer function at the output layer. The ability of ANN performed model was compared with multiple linear regression (MLR). The results show that MLR is not satisfactory for predicting the performance of NF/RO hybrid desalination process with a correlation coefficient about 0.6. The trained ANN model has presented a good agreement between the prediction and the experimental data during the training with reasonable statistical metrics values (RMSE, MAE and AARD). The coefficient of determination values for the prediction of permeate conductivity, permeate flow rate and recovery by ANN were 0.969, 0.942, and 0.963, respectively. Therefore, the ANN model can successfully predict the performance of NF/RO hybrid seawater desalination plant.

El largo camino de la libertad. Mujeres de condición esclava en la costa Caribe colombiana durante la república (Cartagena, 1821-1852)
Authors: Taborda Parra Sandra Milena
Published: March 2021

El presente artículo estudia la importancia de las mujeres que, tras la independencia y la constitución de la república en la ciudad de Cartagena, hasta la abolición final de la esclavitud en 1851-52, aún siguieron manteniendo la condición de esclavas. Damos cuenta de la importancia de estas mujeres al constituir la mayor parte de la población aún esclavizada en la ciudad en la primera mitad del siglo XIX, así como intentamos mostrar el camino recorrido por algunas de estas hacia su libertad, y los obstáculos que encontraron en este largo proceso, a través de la evolución de la legislación dictada al respecto por las autoridades republicanas, y del cumplimiento o no de esta normativa abolicionista. Este análisis ha sido posible gracias al estudio de los censos de población de 1834-35, 1846 y 1850-51, de registros notariales y de la prensa de Cartagena en estos años.
Estrategia y movilización militar en el partido de Arica durante las guerras franco-española y anglo-española (1793-1800)
Authors: Cabrera Sánchez Gerardo
Published: March 2021

Entre los años 1793-1800, en el partido de Arica existió una movilización militar defensiva ininterrumpida por las guerras franco-española de 1793-1795 y la anglo-española de 1796-1802. En el contexto del sur peruano, el gobierno de la Intendencia de Arequipa concentró sus esfuerzos en evitar una posible invasión en la ciudad y puerto de Arica. Para el cumplimiento de esta finalidad, se empleó durante todo este periodo la ejecución de un plan de defensa elaborado por el gobierno de esa intendencia en 1789, creada de forma preventiva en respuesta al contexto de la disputa anglo-francesa sobre el conflicto político de los Países Bajos, en 1787. En líneas generales, el presente artículo es la primera contribución historiográfica respecto al periodo colonial del sur peruano desde la perspectiva de la historia militar, ya que no existen investigaciones previas sobre esta materia.
Benedicto Goytia: Representante de la nueva aristocracia capitalista en La Paz (fines del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX)
Authors: Ninachoque Quispe Giovana Alba
Published: March 2021

Este trabajo tiene como propósito analizar la configuración de las élites paceñas y sus dinámicas productivas en la estructura agraria del área circunlacustre del Lago Titicaca, entre 1878 y 1930. Damos a conocer este proceso a partir del estudio de caso de Benedicto Goytia, miembro de una de las familias más representativas de esta nueva élite paceña. A partir de su estudio, podemos ver cómo la diversificación de su poder económico en la banca, la minería, el comercio y la actividad agraria generó más posibilidades de acumulación de fortuna. Hecho que se ve reflejado en el gran control regional que llegó a tener gracias a la compra de tierras comunales que luego fueron convertidas en haciendas de producción agrícola. Respecto a las fuentes, consultamos y nos sustentamos en: padrones republicanos, expedientes agrarios, leyes, decretos supremos, periódicos y bibliografía especializada.
Política dominicana para atraer inmigración europea (1870-1950)
Authors: Jarvis Luis Rafael
Published: March 2021

Quienes dirigieron el Estado dominicano entre 1870 y 1950 desarrollaron políticas enfocadas a atraer inmigrantes europeos hacia la República Dominicana, con el doble propósito de aumentar el número de habitantes para incrementar la densidad de población y contribuir al progreso socioeconómico, mediante la presencia de trabajadores extranjeros. Diversas tácticas fueron aplicadas a fin de alcanzar este propósito. En el presente ensayo se describe el proceso que transita desde la promoción de la inmigración europea hacia el control de la inmigración afrodescendiente procedente de otras islas del Caribe.
A través del espejo
Authors: Sánchez Domínguez Rubén
Published: March 2021

Los documentales de correspondencia constituyen un tipo de películas promovidas por las diferentes colectividades de emigrantes en América a lo largo de casi todo el siglo XX y que circulaban entre los países de origen y destino. Acercarse a su estudio desde los parámetros de la iconología y de la antropología visual nos ofrece un panorama interesante sobre los mecanismos de representación de estas colectividades, tanto en América como en España.
Teaching and Learning Qualitative Research ≈ Conducting Qualitative Research
Authors: Hazzan Orit , Nutov Liora
Published: March 2021

This paper presents a teaching framework for a graduate course on Qualitative Research Methods course. The organizing concept of the teaching framework is that teaching and learning qualitative research are similar in essence to conducting qualitative research. The teaching framework is based on ten principles of teaching and learning qualitative research methods that result from the application of ten principles of conducting qualitative research. In other words, teaching and learning a course that deals with qualitative research implements the principles of such research. The teaching framework was constructed during a reflective research that lasted four years. During the course of the study, the researchers-lecturers collected and analyzed various course assignments performed by 62 students, online student discussions, observations made during class, interviews, and occasional conversations with students. The study contributes to research on the pedagogy of research methods in general and of qualitative research methods in particular.
The Adolescent Female's Lived-Experience of Obesity
Authors: Randall-Arell Jamie , Utley Rose
Published: March 2021

For adolescent girls, negative messages about obesity and body image from society, media, school, family, and peers are plentiful. Yet the lived-experience of obese adolescent girls has rarely been reported in scientific literature. The purpose of this study was to explore the lived-experience of the obese adolescent female and understand the impact of the messages received. A descriptive phenomenological approach was used to conduct face-to-face interviews with eight adolescent girls, age 11-18. Participants were recruited through network sampling and had a body mass index of 30 or more. Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy of embodied perception guided interpretation and data analysis. Seven themes describe their lived experience and reflect the internal and external messages perceived including, false assumptions, myth of perfection, nonculpable diversity, nobody’s perfect, beauty is not skin deep, disengagement, and society’s misplaced focus. Awareness of the livedexperience described in these themes, may guide health care providers to formulate a holistic plan of care that will positively impact both the physical and psychosocial health of the adolescent female who is obese.
Chronic Illness and Disasters: Development of a Theoretical Framework
Authors: Owens Jacqueline , Martsolf Donna
Published: March 2021

In a disaster, individuals with chronic illnesses risk poor outcomes. This grounded theory study sought to develop a framework that describes how these individuals manage health-related challenges during disasters. The five phases of disaster response (non-disaster, pre-disaster, impact, emergency, reconstruction) and the individual, local, state, and federal level model served as conceptual frameworks. Using purposive sampling, 30 individuals with chronic illnesses and 10 lay caregivers were recruited from Florida and New Orleans. Data sources included interviews and media data. Constant comparative analysis techniques were used to build the theoretical framework. Transcript analysis suggested that participants used four unique ways to shift priorities from illness to disaster-related challenges. Each way related to media impact, evacuation, preparation, attention, and recovery. If evacuated over a week, many could address some health-related concerns from afar. Those remaining home were more apt to ignore health-related concerns to deal with home and family issues.
Trust Development in Research with Indigenous Communities in the United States
Authors: Burnette Catherine , Sanders Sara
Published: March 2021

A historical backdrop of oppression and exploitation has set the stage for distrust in research relationships with many indigenous communities. Although distrust poses a barrier to conducting research with indigenous communities, it also provides a distinct opportunity to examine factors related to trust development. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to understand the factors that relate to trust development in research relationships with indigenous communities in the United States. This qualitative descriptive study explored the experiences of 13 indigenous and non-indigenous researchers working with indigenous communities. Historical oppression, risk and reputation, power balancing across multiple levels, reciprocity and benevolence, and cross-cultural collaboration were emergent themes related to trust development with indigenous communities. Activities between researchers and indigenous communities occurred within a broader context of historical oppression and were on a continuum between trust-building and trust-breaking.
Chinese Biology Teaching Assistants' Perception of their English Proficiency: An Exploratory Case Study
Authors: Jiang Xuan
Published: March 2021

Many Chinese graduate students are teaching assistants (TAs) in mathematics, science and engineering departments in the U.S. universities. TAs’ English proficiency has been a subject of concern or even criticism for years in the U.S. However, only one research has been found around international TAs’ English proficiency per discipline. No research has been found about Chinese TAs’ English proficiency. None has been done on Chinese TA’s perception of their English proficiency in biology. With this gap noticed, I deployed interviews to explore what the three biology TAs perceived as to their English proficiency. The study found that their perception was more relevant to their content-knowledge preparation for teaching and their previous English-learning experience than cultural influence. These findings suggest that content knowledge and language competence are both important thus should be combined in TA training programs, in order to improve TAs’ overall English proficiency in teaching.
