INDOLOGY AND AUDIOVISUAL TRANSLATION
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Gladkova Anna G.
Published: November 2024

Research on audiovisual translation is becoming more and more numerous, but the problems of Indology in film translation are not reflected in them, which determines the relevance of this work, since recently Asian and, in particular, Indian content has begun to penetrate en masse into the Russian market. The article examines the problem of sociolinguistic competence of an audiovisual translator and raises the question of the need for expert knowledge of language and culture of the source material to perform high-quality translation. The author provides examples of translation of Indian cinema from Hindi into Russian to demonstrate the difficulties faced by Indologists when working with Indian content. These examples and the comparison with translations made by non-specialists demonstrate the importance of the sociolinguistic competence of the translator for the adequate transmission of sociocultural information contained in the source material.

ANALYSIS OF COMMUNICATIVE SITUATIONS “TALKING ABOUT FAMILY” AND “TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER” IN THE PRACTICE OF CREATING A LINGUISTIC CHAT BOT FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS STUDYING THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE AT A2 LEVEL
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Proshchenko Anna Y.
Published: November 2024

The article gives a brief analysis of two communicative situations (hereinafter referred to as CS) “Talking about the family” and “Talking about the weather”. The analysis presents two groups of sources (textbooks at level A2, as well as electronic resources recommended by universities and presented on official websites). To verify the models, a linguistic experiment was conducted — interviews with Chinese students studying Russian at level A2. Based on the results of the analysis, the implementation features of each of the CS were highlighted, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the two types of sources. The result of the study was dialogue models, which are a list of remarks in question-and-answer form, as well as three possible scenarios for the development of dialogue for each of the CS. All models can be built into a bot to practice speech skills.

Published: November 2024

Puns play a great artistic role in L. Carroll’s style, so the primary task of the translator when working with his texts is to choose the right translation strategy to preserve the uniqueness of the writer’s style. The aim of our research is to analyse the peculiarities of translating puns in L. Carroll’s fairy tale "Alice in Wonderland" into Russian. In this article we study the essence of the concept of “pun”, consider its classification, then move on to the analysis of translation techniques and then analyse what techniques are used by the translator to preserve the equivalence of the translation text, to convey not only the content, but also the stylistic expression and humorous component of the text. Puns as a stylistic device have been considered by many specialists, however, despite the considerable amount of research, many aspects of this phenomenon still remain rather uncertain: for example, the synonymity of puns and wordplay or the question of the most effective translation techniques for translating puns. It was found that compensation, semantic development, substitution and addition are the most frequently used techniques in translating puns, which help to maintain equivalence, they help to achieve an equivalent effect on the reader, both of the source text and the translation.

Authors:   Orel State University named after I. S. Turgenev, Abakumova Olga B. , Satchivi Rodolfo J. B. ,   Orel State University named after I. S. Turgenev
Published: November 2024

The paper covers the problems of integral approach to revealation and description of proverbial concept of happiness in Russian, English and African (Benin) linguocultures. Two types of proverbial concept are discussed and presented. The first type is seen as collective linguo-cultural phenomenon, unit of conceptual system of certain culture, comprising onthological, acseological, modal and functional features and realised in the series of proverbial utterances of this thematic group; the second proverbial concept is mostly individual, connected with the subjective idea and intention the speaker has in the concrete speech act. The conceptual analysis is made in the first case by means of apparatus of role and reference grammar, extended by frame analysis and thematic role of qualitative; and in the second case the unit is analysed by proverb’s actualisation model that combines cognition-discourse and communicative- pragmatic approach to proverb’s sense in context. The results show both universal and national specific features of linguo-cultural world view of native speakers in question though taken together they represent complimentary vision of idea of human happiness. This bi-directional approach has been tested on the proverbs of thematic group “Truth” on the data of five Europen languages (Abakumova 2013) and on the thematic group “Happiness” based on English, Russian and Japanese proverbs (Sulitsa 2020, Abakumova 2021, Abakumova, Sulitsa 2022). This time the new material is African proverbs.
IMPLEMENTING EXPLICIT PERSUASIVE STRATEGIES IN AMERICAN POPULAR SCIENCE LITERATURE
Authors:   St Petersburg State University, Abramova Evgenia V.
Published: November 2024

The article examines the communicative tactics of direct persuasion in American popular science literature, based on a linguopragmatic analysis of the international journal ‘Popular Science’ from 2010 to 2023. Although many studies have been conducted on communicative explicit influence, Russian linguistics has yet to describe the mechanisms of direct persuasion in American popular science discourse. This research is therefore scientifically novel. It avoids biased language and filler words, and maintains a clear and logical structure with causal connections between statements. Technical term abbreviations are explained when first used, and subject-specific vocabulary is used when it conveys meaning more precisely than non-technical terms. Quotes are clearly marked and consistent citation and footnote styles are used. The empirical material comprises 75 popular science articles from the journal. The text adheres to conventional structure, clear and objective language, formal register, precise word choice, and grammatical correctness. The text does not introduce any new content beyond the original source text. The linguopragmatic analysis revealed various communicative tactics and strategies of persuasive discourse aimed at the reader’s consciousness. The purpose of this work is to identify and describe the linguopragmatic mechanisms of persuasion in popular science literature, specifically the representation of direct persuasive tactics used by the sender. The research methods were determined by the set goals and included linguistic observation and description, contextual analysis, and the method of continuous sampling. The linguopragmatic analysis conducted led to the following conclusions: the use of strategies and tactics of direct persuasion in popular scientific discourse is an effective tool for directly influencing the receiver’s consciousness. The study identified several tactics for directly influencing the receiver, including reporting information, appealing to the receiver’s background knowledge, deploying information, and providing argumentative justification. The results of the linguopragmatic analysis suggest that these tactics have significant persuasive potential as universal means of communicative influence on the receiver’s consciousness.
“IMAGINARY WORLD” AS AN OBJECT OF SCIENTIFIC REFLEXION

Published: November 2024

The article deals with the systematisation of trends focused around the category of “imaginary world”. The productivity of its study is due to the possibility of its application as a linguistic and cultural unit of translation in the development of the scientific concept of Kazakh rhetoric and the creation of new translations of works of Kazakh literature reflecting the formation and originality of the national rhetorical tradition. The new approach to the study of identity based on the creation of the worldview in the aspect of the “imaginary world” brings forth the review and the generalisation of philosophical, ethnolinguistic, anthropological and cultural studies. The interpretation of the category “imaginary world” as a factor of national consciousness allows us to describe the ways of cognition and perception of the world from the positions of ethnic translation, psycholinguistics, and anthropology. A study of perception as a “special imaginative power” with a real cognitive value, consideration of the “imaginary world” as a source of spirituality for the author and the listener illuminates the nature of influence and perception by activating the consciousness of the addressee with the help of symbols, archetypes and allegories. The reasons for the multiplicity of explanations and interpretations of the worldview in zhyrau literature and legends about biys are explained in the article. The description of the behaviour and worldview of the man of the Middle Ages as a concept of the rhetorical ideal emphasises the role of imaginative perception and imaginative consciousness as a source of formation of the linguistic personality of the author and the addressee of the text. The way of objectifying the reality such as the law of creating and functioning of the “imaginary world” enables considering the mystical poetics in zhyrau poetry and the peculiarities of Sufism manifestation. The analysis of scientific trends contributes to the understanding of the semantic, stylistic and pragmatic impact on the listener through the “imaginary world”. The development of the category the “imaginary world” as a cultural unit of translation and a tool of national identity justifies the attention to the ideas of ethnolinguistics and anthropocentrism. The relevance of the research is conditioned by the extrapolation of “being on the string” as the basis of the worldview to the content and structure of the rhetorical ideal.
INTERFERENCE OF THE TRANSLATOR’S NATIVE LEGAL CULTURE IN HIS/HER CHOICE OF LANGUAGE AND TERMINOLOGY
Authors:   Moscow State Institute of International Relations (University), Golubtsova Maya A. , Kalugina Tatiana N. ,   Moscow State Institute of International Relations (University)
Published: November 2024

International lawyers, and legal translators, have a regular need of reference to the translated versions of statutes, cases, and other sources of law. Translations of such texts must meet the highest standards of professional quality due to serious legal risks arising from an error or even a deficiency in translation. Professional opinion as to the quality of translation is formed on the basis of field-proven and time honoured accuracy and legal safety, as well as such important criteria as syntactic consistency, lexical and, specifically, terminological justification, and the practical expediency of the text as such. The Russian statutory law, in particular, the Russian Civil Code, exists in several translations made by different specialists and groups of specialists — lawyers as well as translators. Comparative analysis of these translations reveals significant differences in respect of the said criteria. The report investigates the possible grounds of these differences, notably, the extent to which the legal system and the underlying cultural and linguistic background that formed the translator’s understanding of the objective, predetermined the translator’s decisions.
EXPANDING INDIVIDUAL MENTAL LEXICON WITH THE AID OF AI ALPACA LANGUAGE MODEL IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING
Authors:   Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (National Research University), Gribova Natalia N. , Schetnev Sergey I. ,   Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (National Research University)
Published: November 2024

This paper reviews the pedagogical problem of vocabulary expansion and spontaneous speech extension in a foreign language from the perspective of the psycholinguistic approaches to the study of word meaning using the tools of neurolinguistic models. The aim of the research is to draw up guidelines for the purpose of overcoming potential difficulties in the formation of foreign language learners’ individual lexicon in the framework of associative, parametric, feature-based and situational approaches to the study of word meaning in psycholinguistics with the aid of the Alpaca language model. In the course of the research, the Alpaca language model was tested. It was used to develop strategies and tasks that aim to expand the mental lexicon and are designed to develop language ability and language competence through linguistic awareness. The language model has shown a good level of adaptability to both search and text generation queries and tasks for foreign language learners by proficiency levels with the possibility to customize assignments according to the most productive channel of information perception. Currently, the functionality of the model enables teachers to resolve the issue of creating multi-level educational content for foreign language learners. The research findings show that higher-order tasks such as creating types of assignments for different perception channels, compiling miniassociative dictionaries or associograms, generating mind maps, working with word meanings and collocations, building frame structures to represent knowledge in the analysis of speech situations, representation of concepts using lexemes, etc., require some “machine learning” with the help of a teacher who always controls the language situation modelling and constructs the learning process in terms of FLT methodology.
THE CONTRASTIVE RHETORIC OF ENGAGEMENT MARKERS IN L1 AND L2 APPLIED LINGUISTICS RESEARCH PAPERS
Authors:   St Petersburg State University, Grigoriev Ivan V. , Rubtsova Svetlana Yu. ,   St. Petersburg State University
Published: November 2024

The academic community in Russia, like any academic community, is under constant pressure to publish the results of their research. Exploring cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary variations in academic texts of different genres is essential to overcome potential academic language challenges. The study examines the extent to which academics’ use of rhetorical devices from different lingua-cultural origins can hinder the publication process. We also looked for particular cultural models that might hinder the process of adapting national writing styles to globally recognised standards. Specifically, the paper looks at scholarly norms as demonstrated through the use of metadiscursive markers of engagement. Following Hyland’s taxonomy, we identify the interactive and interactional domain, the latter consisting of attitude markers, hedges, boosters, self-mentions, and engagement markers. First, engagement markers deal with the need to satisfy the reader’s expectations of inclusivity. Second, engagement markers engage the reader in a debate through reader asides and references. The second function seems to be more concerned with rhetorical positioning of the audience and acknowledging the reader’s role as a critic and potential negator of claims. The first step for our research was to construct a corpus of 38 research papers. The results of the comparative analysis indicated that Russian applied linguistics papers written in English use fewer engagement signals than English L1 publications and the higher levels of interpretivism are not to be expected in Russian academic writing traditions. Further research is needed to examine the academic writing styles of texts from different cultural and disciplinary backgrounds.
THE VISUAL STRUCTURE OF THE OLD IRISH POEM “CROS CHRÍST”
Authors:   Russian State University for Humanities, Ilgova Daria A.
Published: November 2024

The present study is devoted to the analysis of the visual structure of the Old Irish poem “Cros Chríst”, which was presumably written in the X century and is an example of lorica (a Christian hymn for a believer’s protection). The aim of the study is to build a visual structure of an Old Irish poem, the case of “Cros Chríst”, with the opportunity to use this structure to analyze other Old Irish poems. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to prove by the intermediate analysis that the visual structure of the poem “Cros Chríst” unfolds at several levels simultaneously: verbal (the word-level analysis), audial (the analysis of auditory techniques expressed visually in the text, for example, the Old Irish alliteration that has an external expression), material (the analysis of the text location in the manuscript: drawings, marginal glosses, comments and the influence of the font on the text’s interpretation), synesthetic (intersensory associations, the interpretation of the poem by a reader-viewer). As the result of the conducted research, it was discovered that the visual structure of the poem (grammatical and graphic parallelism), as well as the visual techniques (the use of anaphors, epiphoras, circle forms, etc.) make it possible to form a consistent image of a person and the world (from the particular to the general). In addition, the poem forms a symbolic image of the cross as a talisman, which can have both material and immaterial embodiments. This study allows for taking a fresh look at the ability to interpret an Old Irish poetic text by referring to medieval manuscripts and constructing a multilevel visual structure of a poem.
ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATIONS OF APPLYING ALICE VOICE ASSISTANT IN TEACHING RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Authors:   Tomsk State Pedagogical University, Kolomeitceva Tatiana S.
Published: November 2024

The article observes the possibilities for implementing elements of programmed learning in teaching Russian as a foreign language by using Alice voice assistant. Working with Alice voice assistant can become a part of a homework for migrant children in order to integrate them into the educational process according to a teacher’s communication scenario: Alice recognizes the student’s answer and, depending on what answer he gave, pronounces certain further instructions. The elements of the grammar-translation method can be manually programmed. Programming Alice for the needs of the teacher — the creation of a so-called “skills” — is a continuation of the traditions of the Soviet school of programmed learning. The use of Alice voice assistant makes it possible to saturate homework with communicative situations, as well as spur interest in learning in the classroom and in extracurricular activities. The concept of post-digital is viewed as a resource for successful mastering of educational programs. Linguodidactic potential of Alice voice assistant is discussed. The author’s methodological suggestions are proposed. It is promising and practically feasible to individually adjust Alice to the methodological tasks of any teacher.
MACHINE TRANSLATION AS A MOTIVATION FACTOR AND TESTING TOOL IN THE PROCESS OF TEACHING PHILOLOGY STUDENTS
Authors:   Sophia University, Latysheva Svetlana I.
Published: November 2024

The article explores the evolving attitude of language teachers towards machine translation (MT) in foreign language education. In response to the improved quality and increased implementation of MT in practical settings, educators are shifting from outright prohibition to integrating it as a motivational and educational tool. The suggested approach involves three key steps. Firstly, students are shown the general weaknesses of MT and specific challenges related to language pairs. Secondly, students are trained to identify potential translation errors independently. Lastly, students are encouraged to continually enhance their language skills to compete effectively with MT. The study emphasizes incorporating MT-generated examples into exams to assess students’ true translation skills while preventing unauthorized MT use. It argues that such a method simultaneously evaluates students and avoids biased claims. Additionally, the article delves into the current state of MT research, citing works by various researchers globally. It highlights the surge in studies post-2016 due to significant advancements in MT program development. The main goal of the article is to analyze the use of MT not just as a practical translation tool but as a means to enhance students’ motivation in philology. The prerequisites for effective use of MT in the learning process are discussed, emphasizing the importance of teaching students to use it judiciously. Examples from Japanese to Russian illustrate potential pitfalls in MT, emphasizing the need for first master the basics of the target language for successful use. The article concludes with an example of analyzing MT errors in a scientific book for children. It suggests that despite MT’s progress, educators should guide students to approach translation thoughtfully. The study proposes that, when used judiciously, MT can aid language learning, providing opportunities for grammar practice, serving as a tutor, and encouraging deeper study of related disciplines.
ETHNIC TRANSLATION AS A NEW DIRECTION OF ETHNO-CULTURAL ACTIVITY: TASKS AND CHALLENGES
Authors:   Siberian Federal University, Razumovskaya Veronica A.
Published: November 2024

The growing interest in regional topics determines the emergence of new directions in the study of indigenous languages and cultures in today’s multicultural and multilingual world. The object of this study is the changes taking place within the paradigms of Translation Studies which reflect the recent turns in humanities. The main prerequisites and theoretical bases for distinguishing ethnic translation as a separate type of translation activity have been pointed out and a preliminary classification of actors capable of performing ethnic translation is proposed. In the context of the required competencies, a number of specific categories of ethnic translators are considered. The main units of ethnic translation include the cultural information and memory represented in ethnic texts. Special attention is paid to the languages of indigenous small-numbered ethnic groups of modern Siberia, which received written form in the 19th-20th centuries. Ethnic translation faces social, research, educational, and cultural tasks, and it can serve as an effective tool for forming and preserving cultural identity. Ethnic translation acts as a vital tool for the preservation and revitalisation of endangered indigenous languages. The descriptive and prescriptive approaches to the material under study, as well as the accumulated experience of translating Siberian ethnic texts into Russian and foreign languages, dictate the need to create a separate section of Translation Studies, Ethnic Translation Studies, which necessitates its inclusion in the educational programmes of translator training and retraining.
ANTIORPHOGRAPHY AS A GAME MODE OF VIRTUAL COMMUNICATION
Authors:   Kemerovo State University, Ryabova Marina Yu.
Published: November 2024

The article discusses the problem of virtual or digital (electronic) communication, which is a type of natural communication carried out with the help of various technical tools and resources. The development of virtual communication had a significant impact on the modern language functioning, especially in a written form, which is reflected in the emergence of such terms as the language of the Internet, cyberlanguage, network language, computerspeak, usertalk, Cyberdeutsch, Websprache, etc. The purpose of the study is to identify and describe the characteristics of the language of virtual communication, i.e. characterize the phenomenon of antiorthography (cacography) based on a game mode, or the phenomenon of language play.The term “language play” means a conscious deviation in the use of language units from certain language norms and rules in order to create a stylistic, comic, playing effect. As the result of the study, it was found that the phenomenon of antiorthography is based on a deliberate distortion of the word spelling as a conscious act on the part of the communicant so as to add the playing mode to the utterance. Graphic and spelling derivations in RuNet have received various names: novograph, preved-style, orpho-art. Antiorthography as a fact of Internet interpersonal communication was represented by such forms, as the language of kaschenites, the language of padonoks, the olbanskij language, etc. The novelty of this study is based on the hyposis that antiorthography as a deliberate break of spelling rules is just a game with illiteracy (at least at this stage in the development of network communication). The obtained study results allow us to assume that the phenomenon of antiorthography includes: 1) the use of symbols of other systems in addition to Russian letters as well as characters of different codes, 2) transliteration of Russian texts with the symbols of Latin alphabet, 3) a consistent rejection of the use of iotized letters, 4) violation of punctuation rules, 5) the use of abbreviations, 6) simplification of spelling.

Published: November 2024

The paper discusses the verbalization of frames related to ‘conflict interpersonal relations’ in literary discourse. This discourse encompasses not only the dialogues between characters in a conflict situation of interpersonal communication but also the description of this situation as the basis for plot development. The objective of this study is to describe the characteristics of verbalizing conflict interpersonal relations and basic conflict frames in literary discourse within the fantasy genre. The linguistic material analysed is taken from the series ‘The Chronicles of Malus Darkblade’ by D. Abnett and M. Lee. The research methods employed in this paper are discourse analysis and frame analysis. The study has revealed that the frame of conflict in interpersonal relations can be expressed both at the sentence and text levels. At the sentence level, this frame is represented by verbs that describe interpersonal relations. At the text level, it is represented as a generalized static and dynamic model of a referential situation. The study found that literary works in the fantasy genre often verbalize frames of conflict in interpersonal relations such as ‘opposition’, ‘physical / armed clash’, and ‘competition’. This text discusses the objectifying components of macro-propositions and the specific features of frame scenario development. Speech conflicts can represent various scenes in the cognitive frame scenario, but they are most commonly associated with the initiation and escalation of conflicts.

Published: November 2024

Slang (“sub-language”) is a vocabulary of informal register normally used to establish a group identity of either people of little political power (adolescents) or people who hide from the authorities (gamblers, drug addicts, prisoners). Its most common characteristics are sociability, flexibility and naturalness, which make it a unique object of scientific research. The purpose of this article is to solve the problem of translation into Chinese of Russian slang lexical units in literature taking as example the text of Alexei Ivanov’s novel “Food block”. The plot of A. Ivanov’s novel “Food block” unfolds in 1980 and tells a story about young people who spend summer vacations in “Burevestnik”, a pioneer camp invaded by vampires. The book uses a lot of slang units to enrich the language and create a realistic environment. These lexical units may be difficult to translate into Chinese not only because of their absence in Russian- Chinese dictionaries, but also because of the ambivalence of their interpretation and different perception in the cultures of the source and the target languages. In this article we will provide analysis and offer translations into Chinese for the following slang units: 1) пацы; 2) шпили-вили; 3) мацать; 4) шашни; 5) мильтоны; 6) ходок; 7) тупарь. The article’s structure is the following: we analyze the origin of each selected slang unit, study their artistic impact and literary meaning in the original, analyze advantages and disadvantages of possible translation techniques and illustrating their practical application. Since the novel has not yet been translated into Chinese, the results of the study may be useful for potential translators, as well as for the study of Sino-Russian intercultural dialog in general and the translation of Russian slang into Chinese in particular.
Emergency water supply during disasters in Iran: a multi-criteria group decision analysis
Authors: Chavoshian Ali , Hashemi Hassan , Hosseinzadeh Fatemeh , Zamani Sabzi Hamed
Published: November 2024

In the face of diverse and conflicting factors affecting emergency water supply (EWS) decisions, ensuring sufficient drinking water provision for communities emerges as a critical and intricate challenge. Compounding this complexity is the presence of vague and imprecise data, complicating the evaluation and selection process. To tackle these challenges, this study introduces an extended fuzzy multi-criteria group decision-making (FMCGDM) model, leveraging compromise solutions and relative preference relations, specifically tailored for EWS situations. The proposed model employs linguistic variables with multiple experts’ judgements to rate the alternatives versus conflicting criteria and assign weight to these criteria. By utilizing triangular fuzzy numbers, the model effectively handles information imprecision, enabling nuanced evaluations and distinguishing among potential alternatives. Employing a relative preference relation, the model computes distance values between alternatives and ideal or anti-ideal solutions, aiding in decision-making. Finally, the practical application and computational effectiveness of the model are demonstrated through a real-life case study on EWS in Iran. The results show that the mobile water treatment units and packaged water alternatives received the highest score, placing first and second in the order ranking, respectively, while the existing distribution systems were deemed most inappropriate for the EWS situation in the case study.
Differentiating Maternal Angiogenesis Factors between Early and Late Onset Preeclampsia: Higher sflt-1 in Early Onset Preeclampsia, Lower PlGF and Higher sflt-1/PlGF Ratio in Late Onset Preeclampsia
Authors: Serudji Joserizal , Basyir Vaulinne , Fadhillah Tara
Published: November 2024

Background: Early onset preeclampsia (PE) is considered a fetal disorder that is associated with placental dysfunction. While late onset preeclampsia is considered a maternal disorder that associated with a normal placenta. An imbalance of angiogenesis factors, namely soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1) and placental growth factor (PlGF) is not only a strong predictor of PE but can also be a predictor of poor outcomes or adverse complications of PE. This study was conducted to analyze the difference between angiogenesis factor sFlt-1 and PlGF in maternal serum between patients with early and late onset PE. Material and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving pregnant women with PE who were ≥18 years old and gestational age >20 weeks had singleton pregnancies. Subjects who had a major morphological abnormality of a fetus diagnosed with USG and chromosomal abnormality of the fetus were be excluded. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were measured using a digital blood pressure measuring instrument. sFlt-1 and PlGF levels were measured using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Result: This study showed the level of maternal serum sFlt-1 was 7522.95 pg/mL and the level of maternal serum PlGF was 222.25 pg/mL. There was a difference between sflt-1, PlGF, and the sflt-1/PlGF ratio (p=0.00; p=0.00; p=0.00) in early and late onset of PE where at early onset PE was found higher sflt-1 and late-onset PE had lower PlGF and higher sflt-1/PlGF ratio. Conclusion: There are differences in sFlt-1, PlGF, and sFlt-1/PlGF in early and late onset PE, as higher sflt-1 is found in early onset preeclampsia, while lower PlGF and higher sflt-1/PlGF ratio are found in late onset preeclampsia.Keywords: early onset, late onset, preeclampsia, maternal angiogenesis factor, Flt-1, PlGF

Published: November 2024

Background: Cellular senescence and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) are pivotal factors influencing aging and age-related diseases. SASP secretes cytokines, chemokines, metalloproteinases, and growth factors that cause chronic inflammation. C-C ligand 2 (CCL2) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) are SASP markers secreted by senescent cells. This study investigated the relationship between the FOXO3 variant rs2802292 and SASP markers, focusing on CCL2 and TGF-β.Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study involving 72 elderly individuals from Jakarta was conducted. A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)was used to quantify CCL2 and TGF-β concentrations. Random blood glucose, blood pressure, and FOXO3 rs2802292 genotyping data were obtained from a previous study. Differences in CCL2 and TGF-β concentrations between genotype groups were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Meanwhile, differences in CCL2 and TGF-β concentrations between allele groups were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test.Results: The CCL2 and TGF-β concentrations of the subjects were 66.5 (10.58-190.9) pg/mL and 6,319 (2,379-13,846) pg/mL, respectively. There were significant differences in CCL2 concentrations among the FOXO3 rs2802292 genotypes (p=0.041). However, there were no significant differences in TGF-β concentrations among FOXO3 rs2802292 genotypes (p=0.955). Subjects with the G allele had significantly lower CCL2 concentrations compared with those with the T allele (p=0.033). TGF-β concentrations did not significantly differ between G and T alleles (p=0.771).Conclusion: CCL2 concentrations are associated with the FOXO3 variant rs2802292 in the elderly population. The T allele of FOXO3 rs2802292 increased CCL2 concentration and slightly decreased TGF-β concentration in elderly individuals.Keywords: aging, SASP, CCL2, TGF-β, SNP, FOXO3, rs2802292

Diante da complexidade do cuidado ao paciente oncológico, compreende-se a relevância da enfermagem na promoção da segurança do paciente, e ressalta-se a importância das estratégias de ensino e aprendizagem da segurança do paciente, na formação de profissionais de enfermagem. O objetivo deste estudo foi apresentar as estratégias de ensino e aprendizagem aplicadas à enfermagem, no contexto da oncologia. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratório-descritiva, a fim de responder à seguinte pergunta de pesquisa: Que estratégias de ensino e aprendizagem têm sido utilizadas para a promoção da segurança do paciente oncológico? A busca pelos estudos científicos ocorreu nas bases de dados MEDLINE; LILACS; SCOPUS; e ERIC. Após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e de exclusão, nove artigos foram eleitos para a análise. Foram encontradas as seguintes estratégias de ensino e aprendizagem, da segurança do paciente oncológico: aprendizagem baseada em problemas; palestras; ensino prático, a partir das rotinas de serviço; tecnologias educacionais digitais; folder, cursos online, e presencial, Fex-Talk e workshops.  Destaca-se que apenas um artigo mencionou a segurança do paciente em oncologia. Observou-se a pouca disponibilidade de publicações científicas relacionadas às estratégias de ensino e aprendizagem da segurança do paciente oncológico. Este estudo contribui para o ensino da segurança do paciente oncológico aplicada à enfermagem, diante das estratégias de ensino apresentadas, e reforça a necessidade de desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias educacionais para o ensino da segurança do paciente oncológico, e de mais estudos sobre a temática.

Published: November 2024

Introdução: A infecção por tuberculose (TB) em pacientes com doença mental é um tema de relevância crescente, por serem duas condições com incidência e relevância significativas na atualidade. Materiais e Métodos: Revisão integrativa da literatura realizada nas bases de dados LILACS, PUBMED, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science e PsycInfo do American Psychological Association, após elaboração da pergunta norteadora, seleção dos descritores sinônimos de “paciente com doença mental”, “tuberculose” e “progressão da doença” nas plataformas DeCS, MESH e Emtree e sua combinação com operadores booleanos para a busca. Seguiu-se a seleção de artigos primários publicados de 2003 a 2023, em português, inglês e espanhol, e correlacionado à temática do estudo. Resultados: Sete estudos foram selecionados para a leitura na íntegra após a análise de três avaliadoras independentes, os quais abordavam sobre os surtos da TB em pacientes psiquiátricos institucionalizados, curso da infecção em pacientes com doença mental, estratégias para o diagnóstico precoce e para isolamento e contenção da infecção. Discussão: o paciente mental apresenta fatores de risco comuns à tuberculose, a identificação da infecção é mais difícil, geralmente não possuem rede de apoio ou não se atentam a sinais de alerta e, caso estejam institucionalizados, o risco de contaminar e ser contaminado é significativo. Considerações Finais: A TB em paciente psiquiátrico pode alterar o seguimento desde o diagnóstico até o desfecho que se caracterizam como mais complexo, reforçando a necessidade de estratégias de rastreio e um acompanhamento personalizado durante o tratamento, a fim de garantir a adesão.
