Μεταλλο-οργανικές κατασκευές ως υλικά για την κατασκευή ηλεκτροχημικών αισθητήρων και ροφητές βαρέων μετάλλων
Authors: Οικονομόπουλος Παναγιώτης
Published: February 2025

Η παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή εστιάζει στην σύνθεση και χαρακτηρισμό νέων Μεταλλο-Οργανικών Κατασκευών (Metal-Organic Frameworks, MOFs) που βασίζονται τόσο σε δισαμιδικούς υποκαταστάτες όσο και σε παράγωγα του ισοφθαλικού οξέος. Η σύνθεση νέων δισαμιδικών υποκαταστατών και η χρήση του Η6[1]D οδήγησαν στο 3D-Zn-H3[1]D, καθώς και σε πέντε ακόμα ανάλογα MOFs μέσω της ιοντοανταλλαγής του μεταλλικού κέντρου, ενώ ταυτόχρονα απομονώθηκαν ακόμα έξι MOFs με μέταλλα της πρώτης σειράς μεταπτώσεως. Μελετώντας τη χημεία σύνθεσης του MIL-88 και στην προσπάθειά μας να απομονώσουμε ανάλογα δίκτυα καταλήξαμε σε MIL-88 μικτών μεταλλικών κέντρων. Τα ΜOFs αυτά, λόγω της οξειδοαναγωγικής ικανότητας των μεταλλικών τους κέντρων, δοκιμάστηκαν ως ροφητές γλυκόζης αλλά και ως τροποποιητές ηλεκτροδίων με στόχο την ηλεκτροχημική ανίχνευση γλυκόζης στον ιδρώτα, επιδεικνύοντας τη δυνατότητα αξιοποίησής τους. Μια οικογένεια δικτύων κοβαλτίου και νικελίου απομονώθηκαν ως παραπροϊόντα με οξικά και φορμικά ανιόντα να δρουν ως υποκαταστάτες τα οποία θα μελετηθούν για τις μαγνητικές τους ιδιότητες. Παράλληλα, η τροποποίηση του γνωστού από τη βιβλιογραφία CAU-10, οδήγησε στη σύνθεση τεσσάρων νέων υποκαταστατών και των τεσσάρων ανάλογων MOFs με αργίλιο. Η ρόφηση κατιόντων βαρέων μετάλλων από τα MOFs αυτά έδειξε ικανοποιητικά αποτελέσματα, αν και η έρευνα είναι ακόμα σε πρώιμο στάδιο. Τέλος, διερευνήθηκαν MOFs που βασίζονται σε πλειάδες υττρίου ή άλλων λανθανιδίων. Έως και σήμερα δεν υπάρχουν γνωστά δίκτυα πολυπυρηνικών πλειάδων και ισοφθαλικού σκελετού. Στα πλαίσια της ιδέας αυτής συντέθηκαν πέντε νέα δίκτυα, τα οποία διευρύνουν τοπολογικά τους πιθανούς συνδυασμούς πλειάδων με διάφορες πυρηνικότητες και απλών υποκαταστατών όπως το ισοφθαλικό οξύ.

Published: February 2025

Delirium is a brain dysfunction characterized by attention and cognitive disturbances in a fluctuating manner. The international guidelines recommend daily screening for delirium. The Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) and Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC) are the most commonly used methods for assessing delirium. This study aimed to identify barriers and gaps in knowledge and practice. This was a hospital-based Cross-Sectional study. Stratified random sampling was used in this study. 72 ICU doctors were randomly selected. Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS version 23. Descriptive data were presented, and the chi-squared test was used to determine the associations among variables. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. More than 70% of the doctors were ≤ 30 years of age and female. A total of 69.4% of the participants had < 1year of experience. In total, 94.4% of the participants worked in medical ICUs. Less than 20% of the doctors used delirium assessment tools, with a statistically significant difference based on experience (p=0.012). Delirium was not regularly assessed in 13.9% of the patients. Non-pharmacological management was applied by 76.4% of doctors, and communication with patients was the most frequent (75%). Haloperidol was the most commonly used drug (83.3%). A total of 40.3% of doctors did not stop delirium medication on ICU discharge. A regular delirium assessment was performed. However, the use of validated assessment tools is uncommon. Nonpharmacological management of delirium is important and is mostly performed. Our doctors prescribed antipsychotics for the treatment of both forms of delirium, and almost half of them did not stop the medications on ICU discharge. Medication reconciliation and contact with the next in-charge of the patients are important.
The Value of Applying Big Data Analytics in Health Supply Chain Management
Authors: Al Nuaimi Dina , Awofeso Niyi
Published: February 2025

This study aims to evaluate the impact of big data analytics (BDA) on the performance of healthcare supply chain management (HCSCMP) by examining both overall efficiency improvements and identifying critical success factors for effective implementation. Through a systematic literature review, the research investigates how BDA enhances real-time decision-making within healthcare supply chains (HCSCs) and identifies the key enablers required for successful BDA adoption. A comprehensive search strategy was employed to analyze 65 papers, resulting in the inclusion of 39 studies published between 2016 and 2023. The review revealed a preference for literature reviews and questionnaires as the primary research methods. The findings indicate that BDA significantly improves HCSCs’ efficiency, particularly in real-time decision-making and operational management. However, successful BDA implementation depends on addressing critical enablers and overcoming associated challenges.
Effectiveness of interactive dashboards to optimise prescribing in primary care: a protocol for a systematic review
Authors: Moynagh Patrick , Mannion Áine , Wei Ashley , Clyne Barbara , Moriarty Frank , McCarthy Caroline
Published: February 2025

Introduction Advances in therapeutics and healthcare have led to a growing population of individuals living with multimorbidity and polypharmacy making prescribing more challenging. Most prescribing occurs in primary care and General Practitioners (GPs) have expressed interest in comparative feedback on their prescribing performance. Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) and audit and feedback interventions have shown some impact, but changes are often short-lived. Interactive dashboards, a novel approach integrating CDSS and audit and feedback elements, offer longitudinal updated data outside clinical encounters. This systematic review aims to explore the effectiveness of interactive dashboards on prescribing-related outcomes in primary care and examine the characteristics of these dashboards. Methods This protocol was prospectively registered on PROSPERO (CRD42023481475) and reported in line with PRISMA-P guidelines. Searches of PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, PsychINFO, CINAHL, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, and grey literature, including trial registries were performed to identify interventional studies (randomised and non-randomised) that assess the effectiveness of interactive dashboards on prescribing related outcomes. The search will be supplemented by searching references of retrieved articles with the use of an automated citation chaser. Identified records will be screened independently by two reviewers and data from eligible studies extracted using a purposely developed data extraction tool. We will narratively summarise the intervention types and those associated with improvements in prescribing outcomes. A quantitative synthesis will be carried out if a sufficient number of homogenous studies are identified. Methodological quality will be assessed by two reviewers using the Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care risk assessment tool. Discussion This systematic review will explore the effect of interactive dashboards on prescribing related outcome measures in primary care and describe the characteristics of interactive dashboards. This research may inform future intervention development and shape policymaking particularly in the context of ongoing and planned developments in e-prescribing infrastructure.

Economics of Social Media Fake Accounts
Authors: Huang Zihong , Liu De
Published: February 2025

Amid the rise of the influencer economy, fake social media accounts have become prevalent on many social media platforms. Yet the problem of fake accounts is still poorly understood, and so is the effectiveness of coping strategies. This research models the ecosystem of fake accounts in an influencer economy and obtains insights on fake account purchasing behaviors, the impact of antifake efforts, and the roles of various contextual factors. We show that as the antifake effort increases, the equilibrium may transition from a “pooling” equilibrium, where a low-quality influencer buys fake accounts to mimic a high-quality one, to a “costly separating” equilibrium, where a high-quality influencer may buy fake accounts to prevent mimicry from a low-quality influencer, and to a “naturally separating” equilibrium where low- and high-quality influencers are separated without buying fake accounts. We find that increasing antifake efforts and increasing social media literacy may sometimes result in more fake accounts. A purely profit-driven platform always prefers a pooling equilibrium with zero antifake effort. As a platform puts more weight on consumer welfare, it may exert a positive effort to induce a separating equilibrium, but the platform’s preferred antifake effort tends to be lower than that of consumers. We also find that the platform sometimes prefers a lower social media literacy and a lower fake account base price, whereas consumers prefer the opposite. In contrast, improving the antifake technology level can benefit both the platform and consumers. Our main insights are applicable to scenarios with more influencer types and repeated interactions.

Simultaneous vs. Sequential: Optimal Assortment Recommendation in Multistore Retailing
Authors: Liu Yicheng , Chen Xiao Alison , Liu Yan , Wang Zizhuo
Published: February 2025

Problem definition: We study a multistore assortment planning problem in which a seller centrally decides the assortment of products in each store. Each store is visited by a certain fraction of customers. Upon arrival, customers observe the products offered in the current store. The seller can either (1) show products offered in other stores to customers simultaneously (called simultaneous offering strategy) or (2) show products offered in other stores to customers if they decide not to purchase in the current store (called sequential offering strategy). Customers may incur a disutility if they choose products from other stores. We study the optimal assortment planning problem under each of the two strategies and compare their performance. Methodology/results: We show that under the simultaneous strategy, the optimal assortment for each store is revenue-ordered, and the seller cannot do better than if it operates each store separately. In contrast, adopting the sequential strategy can significantly increase the seller’s revenue. In particular, when customers’ disutilities of purchasing from other stores are universally homogeneous, the optimal assortment under the sequential offering strategy is revenue-ordered for each store, and the store with a lower (higher, respectively) demand should offer a larger (smaller, respectively) assortment to facilitate the sequential selling process. We then compare the two offering strategies in terms of the seller’s revenue and customer surplus, and we analyze the impact of parameters on the revenue comparison. We also consider several extensions (e.g., heterogeneous valuation, capacity constraint, and partial recommendation) and find that our main results still hold qualitatively. Managerial implications: The sequential offering strategy may be a better strategy for sellers in practice. We provide detailed guidelines for sellers to implement the sequential strategy, such as regarding the optimal assortment decisions and when sellers can exploit the most benefits.

cross-linguistic study of L3 speech perception of voiced and voiceless stops
Authors: Stan Irina
Published: February 2025

The study examines the perception of labial stops by English(L1)/Spanish(L2) [Group A] and Spanish(L1)/English(L2) [Group B] learners of French (L3). We investigate Cross-Linguistic Influence (CLI) processes of L3 speech perception by looking at how the previously acquired languages shape L3 perception (progressive CLI) and how an L3 affects the categorization of L2 and L1 sounds (regressive CLI). The possibility that L3 speakers have a single perception system for all languages was also examined. Participants had to identify stimuli from a VOT continuum as either /p/ or /b/, in different languages. Evidence of hybrid L1/L2→L3 progressive cross-linguistic influence was found for Group A and only L1→L3 for Group B. No patterns of regressive CLI were observed. Finally, it is not always the case that trilinguals make use of different perception systems when listening to L1, L2 and L3.
How language-specific and cross-linguistic factors affect speech rhythm
Authors: Taghva Nafiseh , Chaudhuri Shouvik
Published: February 2025

This study examined the durational aspects of speech rhythm in Bengali (L1) and English spoken by educated Bengali advanced English learners (L2) to represent the effect of language-specific and cross-linguistic factors on speech rhythm. Employing metrics such as rateSyl, ΔC, nPVI-C, nPVI-V, VarcoV, %V, and ΔPeakLn, the study revealed that L1 exhibited a faster tempo, shorter consonants, and longer vowels relative to consonants, while L2 speech demonstrated greater variability in consonant and vowel durations, which are language-specific factors of L1 being a syllable-timed language and L2 being a stress-timed language. However, sonority patterns between syllables seemed consistent across L1 and L2 suggesting the cross-linguistic impact of L1 on L2. Moreover, the results identified the proportion of vocalic intervals (%V) as the most effective metric for differentiating between L1 and L2 rhythms.
LA CALIDAD DE LAS TRADUCCIONES DE FOLLETOS TURÍSTICOS IMPRESOS DEL ESPAÑOL AL INGLÉS
Authors: Roca Wendy , Mata Pastor Carmen
Published: February 2025

A pesar del importante papel de las tecnologías de la comunicación en la promoción turística, los folletos impresos siguen cumpliendo una función promocional fundamental, como demuestran la probada demanda por parte de los usuarios, por ejemplo, en puntos de información turística, y la inversión pública y privada en este medio. Sin embargo, entendemos que no se le otorga la suficiente trascendencia a la calidad de la traducción de este material, ni por parte de quien solicita los servicios de traducción ni por cuenta de quien los presta. Como consecuencia de ello, los productos resultantes no cumplen con los estándares de calidad requeridos para un material que puede ser decisivo cuando se trata de convertir a un turista potencial en uno real. El presente trabajo se ocupa de analizar extractos de traducciones del español al inglés de folletos impresos recientes y disponibles en oficinas de información turística con la intención de medir su nivel de calidad en términos de eficacia. Nos preguntamos si los textos estudiados replican simplemente la forma lingüística con mayor o menor acierto o si, en cambio, reproducen el propósito o skopos para el que fueron creados y cumplen eficazmente la función de promoción de los productos o zonas turísticas que publicitan. Nuestro estudio irá precedido de un repaso de las características que hacen del discurso turístico un lenguaje de especialidad y una aproximación al concepto de calidad supeditado al skopos. Siguiendo los enfoques funcionalistas aplicados a textos turísticos reales desde una perspectiva crítica, daremos cuenta de los errores recurrentes y de cómo merman la eficacia del texto. Cuando sea necesario, aportaremos alternativas a las decisiones traslativas que consideremos fallidas, justificando el sentido de nuestras modificaciones.
The Birth of the Death Drive
Authors: Rozmarin Eyal
Published: February 2025

Abstract: This article is based on a presentation given on April 10, 2022, as part of a panel during the international conference” Sabina Spielrein and Early Female Pioneers of Psychoanalysis”. It is an effort to answer the question that was the title of the panel: “Is the Death Drive Gendered?” My answer was, and remains simple: Yes, it is: the death drive is masculine. To say it in a more nuanced and accurate way, the construct of the death drive, as it has been developed in psychoanalysis, is derived from the concept (or conceptual field) that we call “masculinity,” especially as it has been defined and enforced in the late nineteenth and twentieth century in those parts of the world under the sway of Europe’s mindset.
Social Evolution between Spielrein, Freud, and Jung
Authors: Tomčić Ana
Published: February 2025

Abstract: Apart from her much-discussed role in the personal and professional relationship between Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, Sabina Spielrein is widely known for her 1912 paper, “Destruction as the Cause of Becoming,” in which she posits the existence of an instinct of destruction, seen by many as a precursor of Freud’s death drive. Despite recent attempts to assess the differences between Spielrein’s, Jung’s, and Freud’s drive theories, few scholars have noted that these psychoanalysts’ conceptions of drives were inherently related to their political views, specifically to their perception of social and evolutional progress. A common universal narrative that appears in the work of all three analysts is the view that human society develops from egoism to altruism. While, in Jung’s work, this teleology also led to the association between non-industrial societies and a lower degree of development, Spielrein was more careful about the appropriation of such socio-evolutional hierarchies. This paper will explore not only her personal reasons for this caution, but also Spielrein’s, Freud’s, and Jung’s differing perception of the social role of community and individuality.
Language is Mother
Authors: Naszkowska Klara
Published: February 2025

Abstract: The article examines Sabina Spielrein’s model of the development of language and thought formulated in 1920–1931, in comparison with the concepts of écriture féminine first introduced in the mid-1970s. Spielrein’s model comprises three stages: autistic, magical, and social. In her positioning of the mother as a central, active figure in the process of creation and acquisition of all language—from the preverbal language to the symbolic one intended for communication with fellow human beings—Spielrein seems to foretell the “second wave” feminist critique of male-centered Freudo-Lacanian thinking about language development. Post-structuralist thinkers and critics, Hélène Cixous, Luce Irigaray, and Julia Kristeva, each in their own way, advocated for feminine agency and creativity.

The One Health approach unites efforts across human-animal-environment interfaces against shared threats like zoonotic diseases. T-Racing is a Shiny web application, that supports epidemiological investigations and helps contain livestock-related disease spread, aligning with multidisciplinary principles to safeguard public health. The application uses Temporal Network Analysis techniques to address the dynamic nature of animal trade, facilitating backward and forward tracing strategies. T-Racing leverages web services to retrieve data from multiple sources simultaneously and in near real-time through the plumber package and is distributed using Shinyproxy. T-Racing manages and analyze extensive and diverse datasets within the same environment, including animal movement data, disease outbreak data, and genomic data, all obtained from Italian National databases. In this work, we show T-Racing’s capabilities by simulating epidemiological investigations of brucellosis and tuberculosis outbreaks that occurred in non–endemic areas of Italy. To further highlight its capabilities, an interactive demo of T-Racing is available, showcasing its potential and features. This tool supports epidemiological investigations by adopting a data-driven approach, guiding users through the analysis via an iterative process while leveraging their expertise. Therefore, it enables faster data analysis, improves understanding of disease transmission patterns, and facilitates prompt and targeted interventions.
The more things change: Exploring change in Australian journalists’ views over a decade of upheaval
Authors: English Peter , Hanusch Folker , Löhmann Kim
Published: February 2025

Over the past decade, journalism has experienced transformational shifts due to digital disruption, changing business models, fractured media habits and widescale job losses. In Australia, these changes have been particularly profound, with estimates of around half the journalistic workforce having lost their jobs during this period. Given this enormous disruption, it is important to revisit journalists’ demographic profiles and professional views over this tumultuous period. This article reports the results of a representative survey of 371 Australian journalists conducted between 2021 and 2023 and compares them with a similar study from ten years earlier. While there has been a notable demographic shift towards an older workforce, journalistic culture as measured through journalists’ role conceptions and ethical views remains relatively resilient. Overall, the findings demonstrate that while the journalism industry itself has experienced widespread changes, journalists themselves and journalistic culture on the whole may often be slower to change.
A content analysis of K-12 visual arts standards: Investigating ecological integration
Authors: Bertling Joy G. , Gagliardi Susan M. , Rabalais Kristin Leah
Published: February 2025

In lieu of the undeniable ecological emergencies facing the planet and the need for ecologically oriented art pedagogies, which have been well argued and recurringly championed in the field, the degree to which and manner in which visual arts standards might support such approaches is important to assess. In this article, we present a content analysis of US kindergarten through Grade 12 national and state visual arts standards. We found ecological integration (EI) units were present but minimal across most standards. Despite our conclusion that widespread ecological re-imagining of US K-12 visual arts standards will be required, our analysis also demonstrates the potential of such integration. In multiple, though relatively infrequent, cases, visual arts standards demonstrated vital EI that should be acknowledged and celebrated. This content analysis provides exemplars for future standards revisions and identifies some key high-impact entry points for EI.

The city of new Marathi cinema and urban negotiations with caste
Authors: Waghule Pradnya
Published: February 2025

With Marathi cinema’s new turn, the contested city has emerged as a key textual preoccupation. This contested site of the urban either becomes the grounds for the negotiation of a hybrid identity – straddling the traditional and the modern – or it functions as a source of dissatisfaction. This article looks at the construction of the cinematic city in three films: Mumbai-Pune-Mumbai, Mumbai-Pune-Mumbai 2 and Mumbai-Pune-Mumbai 3. The trilogy, through the genres of romance and the family film, mystifies the operations of caste in family-mediated marriages, thereby demonstrating how love and the domestic can become a site for urban modes of caste.
Representaciones del acoso sexual: análisis de un programa de televisión uruguayo en el 8M 2022
Authors: Achugar Mariana , Ausserbauer Gelsi
Published: February 2025

En este trabajo se investiga cómo las representaciones del acoso sexual en un programa de televisión uruguaya brindan una idea de algunas de las formas en que construimos material e idealmente las relaciones sociales basadas en diferencias sexogenéricas, en este momento, en un país latinoamericano donde el femicidio y la violencia de género constituyen un problema social reconocido política y académicamente. El corpus proviene de un programa de debate de televisión uruguayo emitido el 8 de marzo de 2022; se trata de una denuncia de acoso realizada anónimamente en redes sociales. El análisis aborda desde una perspectiva feminista de análisis crítico del discurso las configuraciones de poder generizadas construidas a través de prácticas de representación como el nombre o la referencia, las trazas intertextuales y las estrategias de legitimación, como índices discursivos que contribuyen a la construcción de identidades y relaciones sociales jerárquicamente estructuradas. Los hallazgos muestran que entre las voces y representaciones que circulan en este programa de televisión dominan discursos que cuestionan las reivindicaciones por derechos y el reconocimiento de las vulneraciones que sufren las mujeres en la sociedad. Se usan estrategias discursivas que apuntan a un marco interpretativo cultural que naturaliza la violencia de género como algo que ocurre en ciertos tipos de relaciones y a las mujeres que denuncian como actores que no pueden ser creídos o tratados como sujetos de derecho, ya que no se conducen de acuerdo con lo socialmente sancionado.
Los términos populismo(s) y populista(s) en debates parlamentarios españoles: contextos, usos y efectos en la argumentación
Authors: Aulit Laetitia , De Cock Barbara
Published: February 2025

Esta investigación estudia en qué medida la referencia al populismo participa en la fijación de posición en contexto de debate político. Para ello, se analizan las 69 ocurrencias de populismo(s) y populista(s) en intervenciones reactivas a propuestas o comparecencias políticas en debates parlamentarios españoles del 2019. Basándose en una metodología desarrollada en el marco del proyecto TrUMPo, el análisis identifica los contextos de aparición de populismo(s) y populista(s), los tipos de fragmentos discursivos en los que aparecen, así como las acciones discursivas que se realizan a través de sus usos. Los resultados muestran que las referencias al populismo aparecen principalmente en intervenciones desfavorables respecto a las propuestas o políticas debatidas, en secuencias argumentativas centradas en la presentación del otro, a veces con una meta argumentativa. Dicho esto, también señalan algunas ocurrencias en contexto de justificación de la posición defendida en intervenciones favorables. Así pues, esta investigación ofrece una nueva aproximación al estudio del debate parlamentario, mostrando, a través del análisis combinado de la acción discursiva realizada por el uso de populismo(s) o populista(s) y del contexto interaccional, que las referencias al populismo no solo actúan como estrategias de amenaza a la imagen de oponentes, sino también como estrategias que pueden cumplir un papel argumentativo.
El caso clínico: análisis de un género textual para los profesionales de la salud. El tratamiento de los epónimos
Authors: Colantonio Claudia
Published: February 2025

En este artículo nos proponemos estudiar algunos aspectos de la comunicación especializada, a través del análisis de género (“genre analysis”), que permite enfocar el texto en su relación con la realidad sociodiscursiva; se tomará en consideración el caso clínico, que es un género dirigido a los profesionales de la salud con una finalidad educativa. Al tratarse de un documento altamente especializado, la escasa legibilidad a raíz de los cuantiosos tecnicismos es uno de sus rasgos definitorios más llamativos. El análisis revela los mecanismos más destacables que pueden obstaculizar la comprensión de un caso clínico, entre los cuales se menciona el tratamiento de las construcciones epónimas.
A representação social sobre o surdo na mídia digital
Authors: Menezes Tayana Dias de
Published: February 2025

O objetivo primeiro do artigo é averiguar quais os elementos organizam a representação social (RS) sobre o surdo dentro de discursos construídos pela própria comunidade surda na mídia digital. Para cumprir o propósito, analisamos perfis, administrados por surdos, em diferentes redes sociais: no Facebook e no Instagram, a saber Surdovisão e Isflocos. A pesquisa foi orientada pela Teoria das Representações Sociais (TRS), desenvolvida por Moscovici (1978; 2003; 2015) e seus principais discípulos, e pela perspectiva Sóciocognitivista de Análise Crítica do Discurso, especialmente em Van Dijk (1998; 2002; 2008; 2015; 2016). Averiguamos que os textos, presentes nessa esfera, revelam uma luta contínua contra o olhar pernicioso da alteridade, a comunidade ouvinte, e a reivindicação de uma representação positiva sobre o surdo e sobre a surdez.

Temos como objetivo analisar a constituição do ethos discursivo das escritoras e os movimentos de preservação/ameaça de face presentes nesses discursos, visto entendermos que essas escritoras ocupam uma posição potencialmente paradoxal, dividida entre a afirmação da singularidade de sua obra e sua auto-representação como membro de um grupo ou coletividade organizada. Para isso selecionamos entrevistas de escritores que tratassem especificamente sobre o ato de ser escritor e os impactos da escrita ditos pelo próprio escritor. A partir disso, fizemos uma análise discursiva baseada nos conceitos de ethos discursivo elaborado por Maingueneau (2008) e na Teoria da Polidez, criada inicialmente por Goffman (1967) e ampliada por Brown e Levinson (1987). Neste texto faremos análises de entrevistas concedidas pelas escritoras Jussara Santos (JS) para o blog Literafro, no ano de 2005, e Ryane Leão (RL) para a revista digital Mulheres que escrevem, no ano de 2017, em seguida faremos uma discussão sobre o que é ser uma escritora negra no Brasil.
Técnicas de refutación en el discurso político: los contradestinatarios en la polémica por las retenciones móviles en Argentina (2008)
Authors: Palma Alejandra Gabriela
Published: February 2025

El conflicto por las retenciones agropecuarias del año 2008 constituye uno de los episodios de confrontación política más significativos desde la crisis económica de 2001 en Argentina (Aronskind & Vommaro, 2010; Cantamutto y López, 2019). En este trabajo, nuestro objetivo es abordar la construcción discursiva de destinatarios negativos (o contradestinatarios, Verón, 1987) en los discursos de la entonces presidenta Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, por un lado, y los dirigentes agrarios que lideraron la oposición a la medida, por otro. Para ello, analizamos las técnicas argumentativas de refutación (Reale y Vitale, 1995; Vallejos Llobet, 2012) utilizadas para criticar o atacar el discurso del adversario. El análisis muestra que, en ambos discursos, la construcción de contradestinatarios opera más para deslegitimar la figura del oponente que para invalidar los argumentos presentados, lo cual se vincula con la presencia de algunas máximas generales que permanecen incuestionadas en el debate, como, por ejemplo, una distribución más equitativa del ingreso o el apoyo a los pequeños productores agrarios.
Modulações de tempo e gênero em “Domingo no parque”, de Gilberto Gil

Este artigo investiga a canção “Domingo no parque”, de Gilberto Gil, com atenção à sua constituição multimodal e às estratégias textuais e discursivas mobilizadas. O objetivo é realizar uma leitura atenta às diferentes modulações que a canção apresenta na sua constituição textual, essa entendida como um texto-produto de atividades discursivas, para considerar as instabilidades geradas no plano discursivo. Procuramos investigar as modulações na canção para refletir sobre seu diálogo, ao mesmo tempo, com um gênero de discurso secundário (complexo) (Bakhtin, 1997, p. 281) relativamente bem estabilizado desde o começo do século XX, o da canção popular, e com a adaptação desse gênero a um novo meio de comunicação em vias de afirmação na década de 1960, a televisão.
The Impact of Culture on Listening Assessment
Authors: Hill Jonnie
Published: February 2025

Culture permeates our understanding of the world and things around us, affecting our psyche, our cognition, and our social interaction. To what degree does it affect our comprehension of utterances in a language other than our mother tongue? To what degree is the assessment of that comprehension shaped by our cultural worldview? This study synthesizes and pulls together research from Geert Hofstede’s (2024) dimensions of culture, TED Talks about communication and listening, and studies in assessment to propose a method of instruction and qualitative assessment then applies it for a descriptive analysis of seven students’ performance on a listening test. Implications are considered that would boost English language listening proficiency among Hungarian students in SZTE’s Institute of English and American Studies.

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) esophagitis and duodenitis are well-known features of herpes virus reactivation in immunosuppressed patients. We discuss the case of HSV esophagitis concomitant with duodenitis in an immunocompetent individual. A 77-year-old male patient, previously healthy, was found to have on upper endoscopy several ulcers in the esophagus and second portion of the duodenum. A diagnosis of HSV esophagitis concomitant with duodenitis was made. The patient was started on intravenous acyclovir, and 48 hours after treatment, his symptoms significantly improved. He was then discharged on acyclovir per os for a total of 14 days. Endoscopy 1 month later showed complete resolution of both esophageal and duodenal ulcers. Physicians should keep the diagnosis of HSV esophagitis with duodenitis in the differentials in the setting of odynophagia, dysphagia, and epigastric pain, even in the case of an immunocompetent individual. Further research is needed to strengthen the literature on this topic.
Metabolic Dysfunction and Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease: A Narrative Review
Authors: Dunn Nicholas , Al-khouri Naim , Ismail Abdellatif , Singal Ashwani K.
Published: February 2025

The term Steatotic Liver Disease is now used to describe conditions involving fat accumulation in the liver. Steatotic Liver Disease term includes a spectrum of defined and less defined disorders; Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), Alcohol-associated Liver Disease (ALD), and Metabolic and Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease (Met-ALD), where both cardiometabolic risk factors, such as obesity, diabetes, or dyslipidemia, and alcohol consumption function in disease development and progression. Met-ALD is defined as liver disease in men with at least one cardiometabolic risk factor who also consume 210–420 grams of alcohol per week (approximately 30–60 grams per day), while for women, it is defined as at least one cardiometabolic risk factors in addition to consumption of 140–350 grams of alcohol per week (approximately 20–50 grams per day). This level of alcohol intake exceeds the thresholds traditionally used to exclude alcohol as a contributing factor in MASLD, but it remains below the levels typically associated with classic ALD. Met-ALD is estimated to affect about 17 million people in the US. It is a unique disease with risk of cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and mortality different from those with MASLD or ALD. Its treatment relies mainly on weight loss, alcohol abstinence and control of cardiometabolic risk factors. Novel medications such as Glucagon Like Peptide-1 agonists and Fibroblast Growth Factor-21 analogs may be promising future therapies for the treatment of MetALD.
Finite element analysis of nanoindentation pile-up and correction of projected contact area

Published: February 2025

This paper deals with the pile-up phenomenon that can occur during nanoindentation. Finite Element (FE) simulation of X5CrNiCuNb16-4 steel nanoindentation with pyramidal Berkovich indenter was done, and stress and strain beneath the indenter leading to pile-up behavior were analyzed in detail. Pile-up also influences the projected contact area, which should be corrected to include the pile-up into the Oliver-Pharr analysis. Accurate calculation of the projected contact area requires knowledge of its boundary. Few methods of boundary approximation were used, including approximation by the triangle and the semi-ellipse. For more precise approximation, the expression for parabolical approximation was derived. These methods were compared with the projected contact area calculated by finite element method. The most precise results were obtained using semi-elliptical and parabolical correction, which can be used for the determination of the projected contact area and its boundary.
Substrate effect in the evaluation of elastic modulus of thin PVD coatings from nanoindentation
Authors: Lofaj František
Published: February 2025

The comparison of nanoindentation results on reactive HiTUS TiZrHf+ME-Ny (ME = Nb, V, Ta and VNbTa) and reactive DCMS NbMoTaW coatings showed that the influence of substrate stiffness is still not fully eliminated in the evaluation of indentation modulus. To obtain comparable results by keeping the systematic error resulting from the existing evaluation procedures the same, nanoindentation should be performed using the same test parameters, a method for depth profile acquisition, a data evaluation procedure, and coatings with similar thicknesses on the same type of substrate. Applying these rules to nanoindentation on TiZrHf+ME-Ny coatings showed that the addition of ME = Nb, V, Ta, and VNbTa caused some degradation of mechanical properties indicating negligible or even negative “cocktail effect”.
Comparison of Berkovich and spherical tip indentation for determining the Young’s modulus of polymer thin films encapsulated by a dielectric

Pixel integrated micro-lenses for CMOS image sensors consist of a stack of polymer acrylate resin films encapsulated by a dielectric layer. Due to the mismatch of thermomechanical properties, adhesive or cohesive fractures can occur. This can lead to reliability issues requiring the knowledge of the polymer thermomechanical properties. Nanoindentation is a standard method for determining Young’s modulus of thin films. However, when performing temperature-dependent nanoindentation studies directly on the polymer film, contamination of the tip can occur near or above the glass transition temperature leading to estimation errors. Therefore, the polymer films must be measured including a protective layer, and a multilayer model is used to extract the polymer’s Young’s modulus. Finite-element simulations of Berkovich and spherical indentations on the complete stack were performed, enabling the identification of a contact radius range within which the relative error resulting from using the multilayer model is less than 10 %. Consequently, room temperature and temperature-dependent tests of the complete stack were performed, enabling the determination of the polymer’s Young’s modulus as a function of temperature without tip contamination.

Published: February 2025

Hybrid plasma spraying combines spraying of dry coarse powders and liquids (suspensions and/or solutions). Introduction of secondary miniature phase from the liquid may provide new coating functionality but also may have a significant influence on the local coating cohesion – increasing or decreasing it, depending on the materials combination and deposition conditions. In this study, cohesion of dissimilar splats within the early-stage experimental hybrid thermal barrier coating (TBC) was evaluated by in-situ SEM three-point bending (3PB) observation coupled with high-resolution strain mapping. Loading was carried out on the annealed sample simulating in-service thermal exposure. Observed coating failure confirmed that the coating exhibits a rather high intersplat cohesion lowering its strain-tolerance, which was presumably the reason for the relatively low thermal cycling resistance of the deposit.

In this study, a parametric analysis on the factors, that influence the value of theoretical interphase shear stress (ISS) in nanocomposite MoS2/PET, subjected to thermo-mechanical loading has been performed. The theoretical value of ISS is calculated based on obtained analytical solutions for the interfacial shear stress. The sensitivity of following parameters on the ISS in the considered nanostructure is investigated: the thicknesses of the nanocomposite layers, the length of the nanocomposite, the magnitude of the applied mechanical load, the applied temperature difference. It is found that the interface thickness does not affect the ISS value. The magnitude of the applied mechanical load has a strong influence on the magnitude of the ISS. The temperature difference (pure thermal loading) also affects the ISS value, but to a lesser extent. It should be noted, that in the case of combined loading (thermo-mechanical) the overall effect is additive. The thicknesses of MoS2 and PET mostly affect ISS, especially the substrate thickness. The obtained results are graphically illustrated and can be used for the fast prediction of ISS in micro scale in similar nanocomposite devices or parts thereof such as sensors, nano- and optical electronic devices, energy devices, etc.
