Edward Said's Theory of Mind
Authors: Bedjaoui Kheira , Majdoubeh Ahmad
Published: October 2023

Objective: This paper aims to explore Edward Said's Theory of Mind, with a particular focus on his famous book, "Beginnings, Intention, and Method" (1975).
Methods: The paper delves into an analysis of Said's work "Beginnings" from a philosophical perspective. It specifically investigates Said's relationship to eminent thinkers such as René Descartes, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Georg Von Leibniz, Bertrand Russell, and other influential figures whom Said held in high regard.
Results: The study reveals that Said aligns himself more with Modern Western Philosophers than with literary Western theorists. It highlights Said's rejection of Foucault's ideas and his alignment with Derrida. Moreover, Said emerges as a representative of Nahda intellectuals, advocating for writing as a means to speak truth to power. It found that Said was more of a philosopher than a literary theorist. Said introduced literary theorists because he wanted to exclude them from literary academia. In Said’s mind, literary theorists have presented knowledge as a discontinuity rather than a continuity to disrupt the consciousness of the Arabs.
Conclusion: The study concludes that Edward Said can be more accurately characterized as a philosopher rather than a literary theorist

Published: October 2023

Objectives: The study aims at identifying the level of job satisfaction among faculty members at King Faisal University in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and to reveal differences in the responses of faculty members about their level of job satisfaction according to study variables: gender, nationality, college, academic rank, and experience.

Methods: The theoretical descriptive approach was adopted by building a questionnaire consisting of (36) items, divided into five areas: job, social relations at work, salaries and incentive, direct administration, professional development, and promotions. The study tool was applied to (252) faculty members from various scientific and humanitarian colleges.

Results: The findings showed that the level of job satisfaction among faculty members at King Faisal University was high. The field of social relations at work came at a very high level, while the field of salaries and incentives came at a moderate level. It was also found that there were no statistically significant differences (α = 0.05) attributed to the variables: college, academic rank, nationality, and the number of years of experience. While the differences were due to the gender variable and in favor of males.

Conclusions: Based on the study's findings, the researcher suggests that King Faisal University officials enhance faculty salaries to align with global changes, ensuring a comfortable lifestyle. Additionally, developing a merit-based reward system for exceptional teaching, research, and community engagement is recommended.
Complete False Cognates in Arabic and Turkish Languages
Authors: Alhasan Muhammed Muvaffak
Published: October 2023

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the phenomena of complete false cognates in the Arabic and Turkish languages, words that appear identical but hold distinct meanings across the two languages.

Methods: In this study, the descriptive approach was adopted as a methodological framework, while the contrastive analysis was adopted as an analytical process. 

Results: The study found that a good part of Arabic loanwords in Turkish is used with a different meaning from their original one, which makes them false cognates between Arabic and Turkish. The study concluded that manufactures such as phonetic, morphological, and semantic changes played role in making these false cognates. 

Conclusions: The study recommends taking false cognates into consideration when composing bilingual Arabic-Turkish dictionaries by emphasizing the different meanings in both languages between these pairs of words. Also, it increases the inter linguistic studies of the Arabic and Turkish languages because of the big interest in learning Arabic by the Turks and Turkish by the Arabs in light of the growing relations between Turkey and the Arab world.
Mayores en movimiento
Authors:   , Arias Christian Darío
Published: October 2023

El envejecimiento poblacional, que refiere al aumento en cantidad y proporción de las personas mayores y a una prolongación en la expectativa de vida sin precedentes, se ha convertido en las últimas décadas en uno de los fenómenos sociodemográficos más importantes a nivel global. Este proceso acarreó cambios significativos en diversas esferas sociales como en la seguridad social, la política, el trabajo, la educación, la salud y los cuidados, entre otros. En este contexto, la presente tesis analiza las formas de organización y las acciones de las personas mayores, así como su lucha contra la discriminación por la edad y por ser reconocidas como sujetos de derechos. Para llevar a cabo este análisis se tienen en cuenta los cambios demográficos, las políticas públicas y las acciones gubernamentales dentro de un marco de derechos que busca proteger y promover una mejor calidad de vida para las personas mayores. Con el cambio de gobierno nacional que se dio en Argentina en 2015 varios actores sociales percibieron una reducción de los derechos para los sectores bajos y medios de la población adulta mayor. Ante este escenario, durante el transcurso del año 2017, diversas organizaciones conformadas por personas mayores fundaron el Frente de Personas Mayores (FPM) en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CABA), con el fin de movilizarse y reclamar la garantía de los derechos que consideraban amenazados. A fin de alcanzar los objetivos propuestos en esta tesis para el estudio de caso se consideran los aportes de la sociología del envejecimiento y de las teorías de los movimientos sociales. También se incorpora el análisis de redes sociales para darle al estudio una mayor profundidad. A través de técnicas de investigación principalmente cualitativa, como la observación participante, las entrevistas y el análisis documental, se analizaron las prácticas y experiencias de las personas mayores durante el período 2017 a 2019. Desde este abordaje se buscó responder a la vacancia en el análisis sobre la participación y las organizaciones políticas de las personas mayores en Argentina. Asimismo, se pretende contribuir a la discusión sobre la participación política y el rol en los diferentes espacios sociales de este grupo poblacional en la etapa más larga de la vida.
Evaluation limit of O2 permeability in barrier films by electrolytic oxygen pump
Authors: Kaneto Keiichi , Uto Sadahito
Published: October 2023

Packaging foods, medicines, and electronic devices and shielding them with barrier films to protect them from oxidation and degradation are crucial technologies for their long-term preservation. In this paper, a new evaluation device and the evaluation limit of oxygen transmission rate (OTR) in barrier films were described. The device was based on an O2 pump, consisting of the cathode reaction of a fuel cell (absorbing O2) and the anode reaction of water electrolysis (generating O2). By shielding the cathode with barrier films, the reaction current was strictly determined by the permeated O2 through the barrier film. OTRs in typical polymer films such as silicon rubber, polyethylene, and polyester were evaluated to confirm the method was consistent with conventional methods. The detection limit for high barrier films was examined and found to be approximately 10 cc/m2/day/atm at the present stage. The strategies to improve the detection limit were discussed.
Fabrication of sodium-doped graphitic carbon nitride for photoelectrochemical water splitting into hydrogen
Authors: Kurita Yuhei , Aoki Mizuki , Ohtani Naoki
Published: October 2023

We observed and analyzed the physical properties of samples that underwent hydrothermal polymerization in a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution applied to graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4). The hydrogen production rate was evaluated to analyze photocatalytic performance. This research confirmed that the sodium-doping enhanced the photocatalytic capabilities of the g-C3N4. Further property evaluations were conducted. A correlation between the hydrogen production rates and photoluminescence (PL) analysis clearly demonstrates that when the PL intensity decreased, the hydrogen production rates inversely increased. Additionally, the results from X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and energy dispersion X-ray spectroscopy measurements indicated that the prepared samples were indeed g-C3N4. These findings demonstrate that the sodium-doping is an effective means of improving the photocatalytic performance of g-C3N4.
Complete conversion of KLM entanglement to GHZ entanglement with error-detected quantum devices
Authors: Du Fang-Fang , Ren Xue-Mei , Ma Ming , Fan Gang
Published: October 2023

Quantum entanglement plays a crucial role in quantum information technologies. In the paper, we propose two schemes to convert from two-photon Knill–Laflamme–Milburn (KLM) entangled states to Bell states and three-photon KLM state to Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger states based on error-detected quantum devices (EDQDs), which employ the interaction between a quantum-dot-cavity system and a photon. Moreover, the quantum circuits of EDQDs applied in the conversion processes make our schemes carry out faithfully, as the practical photon-scattering deviations are changed into heralded-failure detections. Analyses show that conversion cases have unity fidelities and high efficiencies, which encourage us to appreciate deeply fundamental properties of entanglement.

Lite-UNet: A Lightweight and Efficent Network for Cell Localization
Authors: Li Bo
Published: October 2023

Cell localization constitutes a fundamental research domain within the realm of pathology image analysis, with its core objective being the precise identification of cell spatial coordinates. The task has always involved the challenge of large color variations among cells, uneven distribution, and overlapping borders. Furthermore, in realistic cell localization scenarios, the existing state-of-the-art methods suffer from high computational costs and slow inference times, which severely reduce the efficiency of computer-assisted. To tackle the above issues, a lightweight and efficient cell localization model named Lite-UNet is proposed. Specifically, the Lite-UNet encompasses three pivotal modules. Firstly, we introduce a gradient aggregation module grounded in difference convolution. This module effectively mitigates the challenge posed by extensive color variations among cells by adeptly leveraging gradient information. Secondly, we propose an efficient plug-and-play graph correlation attention module, which optimizes the feature representation capabilities by encoding higher-order feature associations. Finally, we design a lightweight Ghost\_CBAM module that alleviates the difficulty of uneven cell distribution while forming the base module of the Lite-UNet. Extensive experiments show that our Lite-UNet is capable of locating cells in images quickly and accurately, thus further improving the efficiency of computer-assisted medicine.
On a conjecture for the algebraic transfer in generic families of internal degrees
Authors: Võ Phúc Đặng
Published: October 2023

The binary field will be symbolized as $\mathbb F_2$ in the customary manner, whilst the Steenrod algebra over this field shall be written as $\mathscr A.$ In this paper, we study Singer's conjecture [Math. Z. \textbf{202} (1989), 493-523] for the algebraic transfers of ranks 5 and 6 in the generic families of internal degrees. The Singer algebraic transfer stands as a valuable instrument for unraveling the intricate structure of the cohomology ${\rm Ext}_{\mathscr A}^{s,k} := {\rm Ext}_{\mathscr A}^{s}(\mathbb F_2, \Sigma^{k}\mathbb F_2)$ of $\mathscr A.$ Remarkably, we have shown that the indecomposable element $y\in {\rm Ext}_{\mathscr A}^{6,44}$ is not in the image of the sixth algebraic transfer.

Documenting Code in Research: Integrating Mathematical Notation and Process Flow
Authors: Passmore Greg
Published: October 2023

The paper advocates for a dual approach to software documentation that amalgamates mathematical notation and flowcharts. This approach aims to enhance both accessibility and quality control. Mathematical notations allow for precise understanding, while flowcharts provide a comprehensive view of complex systems. These components collectively broaden the research's appeal to a multidisciplinary audience and impose a level of scrutiny that augments reliability. The framework further bolsters code maintainability and extendability, contending that rudimentary inline comments are inadequate for thorough documentation. An illustrative example using deconvolution is included.

Role of Contrast Enhanced MRI to Differentiate Between Neoplastic from Non-Neoplastic Ring Enhancing Brain Lesions
Authors: Sakhi Pramod , Gupta Shilpi , Julka Kumud , Saraf Bhavana
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Ring enhancing lesions in MRI of the brain can be caused by different pathological conditions. The common lesions are being some primary brain tumours, abscess, granuloma, resolving haematoma and infarct. Gadolinium compounds, which are paramagnetic IV contrast media for brain imaging, are especially helpful for identification of extra-axial tumours and intra-axial lesions associated with disrupted blood-brain barrier. The enhancing ring of an abscess is usually thinner and more uniform than that found in the neoplasm. Granulomatous abscesses tend to have a thicker ring than pyogenic abscesses and have less surrounding edema. Demyelinating disorders revealed nodular pattern and incomplete ring-enhancing pattern. Infarcts often show gyral enhancement. Enhancement is uniform in immune competent patients while ring-like in immunocompromised patients. Tuberculomas on contrast administration appear as nodular or ring-like enhancing lesions. Aims: To evaluate the role of magnetic resonance imaging in distinguishing neoplastic from non-neoplastic ring enhancing brain lesions. Material and methods: Forty patients with various ring enhancing lesions in the brain were detected by MRI. The age range of the patients was 13 to 63 years. Routine sequences of T1, T2 and FLAIR spin echo sequences with IV contrast were carried out. Signal intensities on unenhanced T1- and T2- weighted images for enhanced and unenhanced solid portions, enhancement patterns, margins, cortical involvement, mass effect, and presence of vasogenic edema were studied. Result : MRI showed 20% of cases were non-neoplastic ring enhancing brain lesions in comparison with 25% revealed by histopathology.65% cases diagnosed by MRI as neoplastic ring enhancing brain lesions in comparison with =75% cases revealed by histopathology. Sensitivity of MRI in the detection of secondary neoplastic ring enhancing brain lesions was 80% and specificity was 81.8%. Percentage of primary brain tumor revealed .....

Published: October 2023

Durante a pandemia do COVID-19, mudanças ocorreram em diversos campos, fazendo-se importante conhecer os contextos de risco social e psíquico que marcam condições de vulnerabilidade e vulneração, vividas por crianças e bebês, a despeito de crianças: refugiadas, residentes em favela e crianças vítimas de violência intrafamiliar. Objetivo: Conhecer possíveis riscos à saúde mental de crianças, em situação de vulnerabilidade, no período da pandemia de Covid-19, na realidade brasileira. Método: Estudo de mídia, com vistas à análise do contexto sociopolítico, favorecendo a visão crítica de leituras de mundo distintas, fundamental para compreensão do objeto pretendido. Resultado: A partir dos dados levantados, estruturou-se categorias específicas à cada grupo estudado, a saber: 1) crianças refugiadas: precariedade do abrigo; dimensão legal; perdas e lutos; e xenofobia. 2) crianças residentes periféricas: perdas e lutos; violência à criança; acesso à saúde; e fome. 3) violência intrafamiliar: direitos da criança em situação de violência; violência doméstica na pandemia e meios extradomiciliares que amparam a criança. Os resultados obtidos em cada um dos objetivos específicos, denunciam especificidades de cada um dos grupos: as crianças refugiadas, além de perderem direitos vivenciam perda da sua origem, dificultando o endereçamento do seu sofrimento a um “outro”. As crianças residentes em periferias, além de serem afetadas pela pandemia, sofreram efeitos da necropolitica, advinda da herança colonial. Crianças vítimas de violência intrafamiliar enfrentaram agravos decorrentes do isolamento social e adoecimnto psíquico dos cuidadores. Considera-se, por fim que sem a denúncia necessária, os riscos de esquecimento de tão grave problemática pode se fazer efetivar e os recursos necessários ao cuidado não se fazerem urgentes. A análise da mídia favoreceu lidar com uma lacuna no campo científico, possibilitando a criação de reflexões da condição de vulneração de populações invisibilizadas.
Point of care ultrasonography in the evaluation of myocardial dysfunction due to sepsis.
Authors: Barbosa Gabriel Sonchini , Barbosa Daniel Sonchini , Aoki Natalia Keiko , Santos Tauanne Fernanda dos , Silva Baldomero Antônio Kato da , Mustafa Reiby Caetano
Published: October 2023

Background: Septic shock is commonly diagnosed in critically ill patients and is an important cause of mortality. Techniques used to assess fluid responsiveness and hemodynamic profile with physical examination and central venous pressure have been shown to be insufficient. Thus, the importance of other methods, such as bedside ultrasound (POCUS), is evident. The aim of this study was to analyze patients with septic shock who developed left ventricular dysfunction by POCUS.
Methods: Prospective study involving 14 patients diagnosed with septic shock, over 18 years old, without previous cardiac pathologies. Clinical, laboratory and imaging data were collected. POCUS was applied by a cardiology resident; the results were compared with those found by an echocardiographer.
Results: Variables were compared between patients with normal and depressed ventricular function (VF). Mean arterial pressure was significantly lower in patients with depressed VF (p = 0.01). Vasopressor drug dose and Pro-BNP value were significantly higher in patients with depressed VF (p = 0.01). Regarding the POCUS inter-rater comparison, the variables of left ventricular global systolic function, vena cava index and presence of B line were significantly concordant (p= 0.02; 0.003; 0.002).
Conclusions: Patients with depressed VF had a greater severity of shock, suggesting refractoriness, with cardiac dysfunction as a possible aggravating factor, which was visualized only by POCUS and corroborated by higher Pro-BNP values. A short POCUS training is enough for the non-specialist physician to be able to use this resource in the management of these patients.

The Effect of Exposure Density on EFL Learners' Fluency in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Ibrahim Intisar Zakariya Ahmed
Published: October 2023

The Internet proliferation, information technology, and globalization as well as the importance of English as a global language cannot be overstated. It is widely recognized that Saudi university students, learning English as a foreign language, encounter numerous learning challenges stemming from various factors. This paper delves into the critical issue of English language exposure and postulates that inadequate exposure to English is a central contributor to students' learning difficulties. To investigate this, a questionnaire was administered to a cohort of 50 students, comprising both male and female participants enrolled in the Department of English and Translation at the University of Qassim. The findings from the survey revealed that, on average, the students reported moderate exposure to the English language. Additionally, the data indicated a noteworthy disparity, with male students exhibiting greater exposure to English compared to their female counterparts. These results serve as a preliminary exploration of the issue of English language exposure among Saudi university students. They underscore the need for further in-depth research in this area to comprehensively understand the dynamics of language exposure and its impact on the learning experiences of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners. This concludes by suggesting the imperative for future research endeavours and outlining initial recommendations for augmenting language exposure among EFL learners.

This study aims to determine the effect of using the SAS method assisted by picture word cards on the beginning reading ability of grade 1 students in elementary schools. In this study using a quantitative approach with a research design using a quasi-experimental or quasi-experimental design. The samples in this study were class I-A, which consisted of 25 students as class and class I-B, which consisted of 25 students as the control class. The data collection technique used in this study is through tests and observations. The tests used are pre-test and ¬post-test. Based on the research results, the experimental class obtained an average pretest score of 45.53 with an average posttest score of 86.12. Meanwhile, the average value of the control class pretest was 44.86 and the average posttest value of the control class was 66.96. The results of the tests carried out by researchers in the experimental class and control class, it can be concluded that the posttest score was found to be greater than the pretest, which means that students' initial reading ability increases. The researcher used an independent test sample t test to find the effect of the SAS method assisted by picture word cards on the beginning reading ability of first grade elementary school students. It is known that the calculated t value is 16.139 with a sig value of 0.000 <0.05, which means that there is a significant influence on the initial reading ability of first grade elementary school students in the experimental class and the control class. Then in accordance with the decision making that has been determined then that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. Thus the researchers concluded that there was an effect of using the SAS method assisted by picture word cards on the initial reading ability of grade 1 students in elementary schools.
On the best approximation of non-integer constants by polynomials with integer coefficients

Published: October 2023

The exact decrease rate of the best approximations of non-integer numbers by
polynomials with integer coefficients of growing degrees is found on a disk
in the complex plane, a cube in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, and a ball in $\mathbb{R}%
^{d}$. The $\sup $-norm is used in the first two cases, and the norm in $%
L_{p}$, $1\leq p<\infty $, is applied in the third one. Detailed comments
are given (two remarks at the end of the paper).

Background: The use of Pipelle sampling for endometrial histology and pathology is of some controversy - and vast importance. Pipelle procedures are performed commonly in medical offices when women show abnormal vaginal bleeding. While the method has several advantages over dilatation and curettage (D&C), clinical questions exist on the precision and accuracy of the procedure. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Pipelle biopsy sampling versus Dilatation & Curettage (D&C) in adequacy of sampling specimen in terms of cost effectiveness, diagnosis success rate, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted among all enrolled women with abnormal uterine bleeding counselling outpatient and inpatient in MMMHMC Batac from 2016 to 2017. Sample was divided in two groups - those that underwent Pipelle biopsy and those who underwent D&C. Key statistics were computed using SPSS 16.

Results: Cost effectiveness analysis showed that Pipelle biopsy offers a more cost effective alternative with an estimate of one correct diagnosis every P16 spent versus P61 spent for a correct diagnosis using D&C. Both procedures resulted in a 100% likelihood ratio of having the condition with a positive test result, with D&C resulting in a higher diagnosis success rate of 98% (versus 92% for Pipelle) and higher proportion of those who have the disorder, given the procedure tested positive.

Conclusion: Pipelle biopsy offers a more cost effective alternative to D&C. Both procedures resulted in equal probability of having the condition with a positive test result, with D&C resulting in a higher success rate of diagnosis and sensitivity rate, albeit not statistically significant.
Emergence of a New Era in Orthopaedic and Spine Medicine: Advancements and Specialization in Pakistan's Healthcare Landscape
Authors: Kabir Samir Khan
Published: October 2023

In a remarkable transformation, the landscape of medical science, including Orthopaedic and Spine care, is rapidly evolving. Even in regions like Pakistan, characterized as third-world countries, healthcare is swiftly adopting the latest techniques, technologies, and research predominantly originating from the Western world. The origins of Orthopaedic Surgery in Pakistan trace back to the era when General Surgeons initially handled these responsibilities. However, the true development of Orthopaedic specialization began in the 1970s when the necessity for dedicated Orthopaedic treatment became evident. This marked the inception of the Orthopaedic era in the country. By the early 2000s, many medical professionals opted for this specialization, leading to a saturation point that paved the way for sub-specializations within Orthopaedics. These sub-specialities include Periotic, Trauma, Hand, Oncology, Arthroplasty, Sports, and Spine.1 Between 2000 and 2015, these sub-specialties also progressed to a saturation point, prompting a demand for even more specialized expertise. Over the past 5 to 8 years, each sub-speciality has further fragmented, with individuals or teams dedicated to refining systems that provide superior management of pathologies, thus enhancing prognoses and patient outcomes.2  This evolution has seen the emergence of both sub-specialties and super-specialties, reflecting the contemporary medical practice needs. The trajectory is clear: as exposure and practical experience accumulate, a cadre of experts will naturally emerge within these specialized domains.
 
The domain of Spine specialization, once regarded with apprehension due to its challenging nature and variable outcomes, has been revolutionized by integrating cutting-edge technology, advanced surgical techniques, and in-depth research. Distinct categories within the Spine speciality have emerged, spanning Trauma, Oncology, Deformity Correction, Degenerative Spine, and Infection.3 These intricate surgeries are now performed using minimally invasive techniques, informed by meticulous research prioritizing anatomical precision. These advancements involve smaller incisions, real-time X-ray guidance, and even endoscopic approaches for enhanced operative field visualization. This curtails inflammatory responses and expedites patient recovery, facilitating earlier discharge from medical facilities.
 
A noteworthy addition to Pakistan’s Spine surgery landscape is the introduction of Endoscopic Spine Surgery. Over the past half-decade, many Neuro and Orthopaedic Spine Surgeons have sought training in this cutting-edge super-specialty. The procedure offers substantial advantages such as same-day patient discharge and quicker return to normal routines. Presently, only a handful of centres in the country provide this innovative treatment modality, marking a significant stride in Spine care.
