Authors: Zhang Yufeng , Zhang David , Wang Yinuo , Yanhui Ban Sam , Zhao Kaiwen , Cui Annie , Wang Yoyo , Harris Josephine
Published: November 2023

In recent years, the proliferation of electronic devices and video games has raised strong concerns about their impact on students’ academic performance. The widespread formal application of virtual technologies in school teaching during the COVID-19 outbreak had a long-term impact on some students and their families. The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of electronic devices and video games on students (grades 4-12) within the Irvine area in Orange County. It explores the students’ patterns of use, their self-perceptions of how these technologies affect their academic performance, and the role of virtual learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
RADIATION EXPOSURE IN INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY: STRATEGIES FOR REDUCTION AND PROTECTION
Authors: KAMAL A , KHAN MAUR , SADIQ NS
Published: November 2023

Occupational radiation exposure is a significant concern among healthcare professionals, particularly those in interventional radiology and cardiology procedures. This study aims to comprehensively investigate radiation exposure and its health effects among 200 healthcare professionals, including 100 physicians, 50 nurses, and 50 technicians, across five hospitals. The study employed a controlled, multi-center, observational design, with 100 participants in the experimental group exposed to enhanced radiation protection strategies, while 100 participants in the control group adhered to standard safety protocols. The interventions included additional lead barriers, radiation-absorbent pads, real-time dose monitoring systems, and continuous staff training on radiation safety. Exposure levels were measured using personal dosimeters at regular intervals before and after the interventions. Subgroup analysis was conducted based on professional roles and procedure types, categorized into simple and complex interventions. The results showed a statistically significant reduction in annual radiation exposure in the experimental group compared to the control group, with substantial effect sizes. Subgroup analysis revealed varying degrees of exposure reduction among different professional roles. Notably, complex interventions demonstrated the most substantial reductions in radiation exposure. Furthermore, an analysis of X-ray beam angles indicated a statistically significant increase in exposure at steep angles (≥30°). However, no significant interaction between the control and experimental groups was observed, suggesting that other variables may influence the relationship between steep angles and exposure. The findings of this study emphasize the effectiveness of enhanced protection strategies in reducing occupational radiation exposure among healthcare professionals. The nuanced effects observed across different professional roles and procedure types underscore the importance of tailored safety measures. These results contribute to the ongoing efforts to optimize radiation safety in medical settings and promote the well-being of healthcare professionals. Ethical considerations, adherence to international standards, and the potential implications for policy and guidelines further underscore the significance of this study's findings.
DRUG-ELUTING STENTS OUTCOMES IN DIABETICS WITH CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE AND PULMONARY IMPLICATIONS
Authors: SHEHZAD ST , FARRUKH S , AFNAN M , YOUSUF MH
Published: November 2023

The study aims to investigate the outcomes of drug-eluting stents (DES) in patients with diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease (CAD) while considering implications for pulmonary and cardiac health. A prospective observational study design was employed. A cohort of 54 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with DES implantation was included. Primary outcome measures included stent patency rates, restenosis rates, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and pulmonary function tests. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on age and gender. The study unveiled a 91.5% stent patency rate at six months and a 12.3% restenosis rate. Furthermore, the cumulative MACE incidence at one year was 18.5%. Subgroup analysis identified gender-based differences in restenosis rates and a slightly elevated MACE incidence among patients with longer diabetes duration. Importantly, pulmonary function tests, encompassing spirometer and lung volume assessments, demonstrated no significant pulmonary impairment following DES implantation. These assessments indicated only a marginal 1.2% reduction in FEV1, while TLC remained statistically unchanged, reassuring that DES utilization does not adversely impact pulmonary health. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the use of DES as a viable intervention in managing CAD in diabetic patients with potential implications for both cardiac and pulmonary health. The outcomes highlight DES's potential to enhance long-term cardiovascular effects in this high-risk population.
Computation of Groundwater Quality of Baramati with the help of Fuzzy Water Quality Index (FWQI)
Authors: Wagh Sarita Jibhau , Paithane Pradip M , Sangale Mohan D , G.M Pondhe
Published: November 2023

One of the natural resources having the latent for home, agrarian, and engineering use is surface and groundwater. Due to humanoid and certain natural reasons, the eminence of the groundwater serving Baramati City and Tehsil has deteriorated. Agriculture is using more pesticides and fertilizer, therefore this supply is being affected. Municipal water pollution can be caused by “septic boilers”, “bathe sewage”, “polluted aquatic”, “improper discarded management”, “public excretion”, “improper waste structure”, “public sewage discharges”, and “unorganized solid waste disposal”. The current study will improve the accuracy of the water quality index for areas in Baramati Tehsil that are affected by industry and drinking water supplies. The groundwater zones were created using a weighted index overlay analysis, which assigned weights based on several classes of individual water quality metrics and drinking water standards. Based on few observations, fuzzy logic offers an effective and practical tool for categorizing drinking water quality. This study's objective is to provide a fuzzy logic-based water quality indicator for basin-wide reservoirs. For a weight-based fuzzy quality index, a minimum of 6 physico-chemicals are needed.
Developing a strategic plan for a healthcare simulation facility
Authors: O’Connor Paul , O’Dowd Emily , Lydon Sinéad , Byrne Dara
Published: November 2023

A strategic plan defines an organization’s strategy, or direction, and supports decisions on how to allocate resources in order to best pursue key goals. The need for a simulation facility to have a strategic plan is recognized by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare and the Association for Simulated Practice in Healthcare. A strategic plan is also relevant to the professional standards for accreditation outlined by the Society for Simulation in Europe. However, specific guidance on how to develop a strategic plan for a simulation facility is lacking. This report describes a five-stage process for developing a strategic plan for a simulation facility: (1) define the mission, vision and values; (2) strategic formulation; (3) operational planning; (4) assessing the results; and (5) reformulating the strategy. It is not suggested that this is the only method for developing a strategic plan. However, it is important that whatever approach used is systematic, rational, justifiable and draws upon input from all of the stakeholders in the simulation facility.
Bias in simulation training for healthcare professions: a scoping review
Authors: Akturan Selçuk , Binns-Calvey Amy , Park Christine
Published: November 2023

Bias potentially affects simulation-based training (SBT) for healthcare professions. The role bias plays in SBT design, presentations, and in the experiences of learners should be understood. Dual process theory is a well-accepted framework for understanding types of bias.

The authors performed a scoping review to map ‘bias’ in SBT of health professions in the literature. Search terms were developed for a query in the PubMed database. Researchers reviewed abstracts, met ten times to discuss which papers’ full texts to read, and then analysed and categorized the articles. Researchers used the Arksey and O’Malley framework for scoping reviews.

Three thousand six hundred and twenty abstracts were identified by a detailed query in the PubMed database of which, 115 full-text articles were identified for inclusion.

Articles published about bias in SBT cover a broad range of topics, from addressing how bias affects patient care, to bias in raters’ scoring of medical students on exams. Researchers found that the prevalence of articles on bias in SBT increased over time and focused primarily on implicit bias. Specific types of bias in some instances were difficult to identify, and several biases mentioned in papers were unique to this review. The results showed that many SBT methodologies (i.e. manikins, videos, etc.) were referenced in the papers. The type of simulation training most prevalent in the articles was simulated patient (SP) methodology. The results show that biases can be explored in any type of simulation method, indicating that simulationsists should be aware of bias in training during all types of training methodolgy.
Would a bird by any other name sing as sweet?
Authors: Depierre Amélie
Published: November 2023

Ample material for a lexicological and terminological study is provided by over ten thousand species of birds, many with multiple local names. Some of them follow the scientific name, while more creative ones put forward different characteristics of a bird, e.g. Sylvia melanocephala ‘black-headed wood-dweller’ vs fauvette mélanocéphale ‘black-headed warbler’ vs pěnice bělohrdlá ‘white-throated warbler’ vs occhiocotto ‘cooked eye’ vs Sardinian warbler, etc. This onomasiological diversity makes one wonder how bird names are created in different languages, what morphological structures are resorted to, and what semantic features are included in different names of the same bird. Such questions have already been discussed in terminology as far as concepts or artefacts are concerned. This paper compares the names for Sylvia atricapilla and Sylvia melanocephala in some thirty languages, using a combination of intra- and cross-linguistic methods and assembling the two “arch-concepts”. The study points out the specificity of bird names, between linguistic signs, scientific terms and proper nouns or nicknames. The underlying denomination principle consists in selecting a limited number of salient but distinctive semantic features, i.e. characteristics of the bird, and attributing them the corresponding lexical items: nouns, adjectives, suffixes or combining forms.
Le verbe raconter
Authors: Juka Denada
Published: November 2023

This article starts from the hypothesis that the French verb raconter (to tell) has but one meaning, i.e. “to narrate”, according to Le Brio. Initially, this apparent monosemy did not seem to be very questionable. However, Dubois and Dubois-Charlier’s 1997 etymology and classification of French verbs partially contests this first intuition. The dictionary of Dubois & Dubois-Charlier (1997), in particular, establishes three subclasses for the verb’s meanings: Tell 01: ‘describe a scene’; Tell 02: ‘tell, tell a story’; Tell 03: ‘tell lies’. To verify these meanings, we thoroughly mined a corpus composed of three contemporary works : two novels and a written testimony. We analyze the noun objects of the verb and specify the nature of what is "narrated". We thus show that three meanings of the word story – i.e. story, scene, and lies – underlie the use of the verb, and bear out the classification chosen in Dubois & Dubois-Charlier’s 1997 Dictionary. Next, we seek to describe what raconter as a speech verb selects as completive content in the verb phrase (VP). More specifically, in indirect speech constructs (say that-VP), does raconter develop predicates corresponding to the indicated nominal subclasses when it governs "reported" speech ? In conclusion, we present the main uses of raconter (to tell) in the form of a diagram that "maps" the constructions and traces the main lines of development and productivity, according to the meaning that Legallois gives these notions. The frame of reference then widens to that of Construction Grammars that are likely to accommodate phraseological phenomena (Legallois, 2014).
Pour un traitement syntactico-sémantique des verbes de couleur rougir, bleuir, verdir et jaunir
Authors: Salinas-Kahloul Claudine
Published: November 2023

This paper proposes a study of the polysemy of four colour verbs (rougir, bleuir, verdir and jaunir) based on Dubois & Dubois-Charlier’s (1997) electronic dictionary Les Verbes Français. They consider rougir and verdir as verbs of feeling; as opposed to bleuir and jaunir. After a presentation of some theoretical considerations with regards to the properties of verbs of feeling as opposed to light verbs, we will show that in a construction such as V de Nsent, these colour verbs are not predicative as such but rather they are light verbs that take a predicative noun and give the construction an intensive meaning. A corpus analysis highlights the syntactic and semantic properties of these verbs and the adjectives they are morphologically similar to (rouge, bleu, vert and jaune).
OK – une histoire connue ?
Authors: Fagard Benjamin
Published: November 2023

In this paper, I describe the arrival of ok (originally O.K., later OK, ok, okay) from the United States to Europe, focusing on the emergence and evolution of its French equivalent (ok, okay, oké). On the basis of a corpus study, relying mostly but not exclusively on literary texts, I show that it has taken ok approximately a century to cross the Atlantic Ocean, and a few more decades to become popular in Europe. In order to identify use-types of ok in French, I analyze its occurrences in the corpus (approximately 650), taking into account syntactic and semantic features. The results show that, from a diachronic perspective, French ok has a very unusual syntactic profile compared to typical Discourse Markers.
Quelques observations sur les emplois de ok en français contemporain à partir de textes écrits
Authors: Lambert Frédéric
Published: November 2023

This contribution examines the use of French ok in an exclusively written corpus, drawn mainly from the Frantext database. Despite the paradox of studying a typical marker of spontaneous oral expression in predominantly literary written texts, many properties characteristic of the word emerge clearly from the study. Among them, one may observe a frequent context of tension between the interlocutors, which can be transferred to the marker itself, which signals a relatively low degree of agreement but still allows the easing of tensions, or the reorientation of the dialogue. It turns out that that minimal agreement adds a concessive value to the meaning of ok, which is manifested through various types of restrictions. The way that ok tends to be grammaticalized or lexicalized in interrogative expressions or at the beginning of a speaker’s turn is also shown in the study, as well as the great versatility of the marker, which earns it the status of a wildcard marker. All in all, ok is analyzed as a metapragmatic marker that contributes to the organization of the relationship between interlocutors.
Utilisation de ok sur Twitter, entre (re)présentation de soi et stabilisation énonciative
Authors: Bibié Laetitia
Published: November 2023

The article presents the discursive analysis of the form ok from a micro-corpus of 50 forms taken from the Twitter microbloging platform and annotated on ANALEC as part of the DisCo research group. We will be interested in the place of ok in the tweets but also in threads and single-threads. This approach will allow us to distinguish the different types of ok encountered in our corpus and to propose a contextualized analysis of the place and role of ok on twitter.
OK dans le discours rapporté en anglais oral
Authors: Albrespit Jean
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this article is to examine the functions of OK in sequences of reported speech introduced by a quotative verb in various corpora of spoken British and American English. As OK is mostly used in spoken English, it very often triggers the passage to direct speech. When speech is reported directly, the speaker can reduce the distance between speaker and co-speaker that a narration in indirect speech would maintain. The speaker can do so without resorting to a specific marker. The contribution of OK is then to delimitate the unit of speech being reported and to add meaning (agreement, concession, etc.). OK is compatible with a large number of contexts in which agreement – an inherent semantic component of the marker – is not a response to a co-speaker’s prior question but rather to the larger context. OK, then, is a means for the speaker to play a part and to involve the co-speaker by making her/him a direct witness of the conversation or monologue. The hypothesis tested here is that the presence of OK indicates a two-fold process: setting a “scene” and refocusing attention on the co-speaker. This paper begins with a typology of occurrences of OK in reported speech. Then, the following issues are addressed: verbs and subjects in sequences of reported speech, the way direct speech is represented, OK as a discourse marker, OK compared to other discourse markers and finally the connective function of OK.
OK in Harry Potter and in translation
Authors: Depierre Amélie
Published: November 2023

OK was coined in the US as a jocular initialism, and survived thanks to circumstances, its flexibility of form and possibilities for re-interpretation. Today, OK has grown in frequency, diversified in usage and been naturalised in other languages around the world as a symbol of American culture. This paper defines the deep meaning of OK, then focuses on its 283 occurrences in a purposefully aligned corpus of the seven Harry Potter books and their translations in French and some other European languages; in the translations, the multitude of context-dependent equivalents of OK is most striking, as is the use of meliorative words – sometimes antiphrastically – to signal well-being or agreement in a non-neutral fashion. The data suggest that in English, OK has pushed aside other linguistic markers to occupy a semantic node of its own, i.e. neutral conformity to a standard, and it may be doing the same in other languages, such as Swedish, but cultural factors must be considered, too. Conversely, OK is rare in the French and Spanish translations, possibly owing to the translators’ effort at linguistic purity or the publishers’ guidelines, although it is known to be used in informal speech in these languages.
Enjeux discursifs de la forme « ok émoji(s) » dans les tweets figuratifs
Authors: Jaffel Inaam
Published: November 2023

This paper is part of the ok project led by the DisCo research group. In this study, the tools of Digital Discourse Analysis are used to examine the linguistic challenges of the simultaneous use on Twitter of ok as a syntactic stuctutre and the emoji(s) as an iconic entity. The aim of the analysis in this article is to evaluate the sense-making that occurs through the conjoint presence of these two distinct discursive parameters within the same tweet.
Patterns of allomorphy in Benabena
Authors: Crysmann Berthold
Published: November 2023

I discuss recurrent allomorphic splits in Benabena verb morphology, and argue, following Young (1964), that both motivated and unmotivated splits permeate the system in highly systematic ways. I conclude that this phenomenon necessitates generalisations about allomorphy across heterogeneous rules of exponence and show that multiple inheritance type hierarchies over rules, as proposed in Crysmann & Bonami (2016), readily provide the expressive means to capture the generalisations, offering two simultaneous views on the relatedness of rules, i.e. in terms of allomorphic conditions, or in terms of expression. Conversely, I argue that once such an abstraction is in place, mapping of morphosyntactic features to morphomic features becomes unnecessary. If morphomic features can be limited to lexical properties, this will provide for a more transparent interface between syntax and morphology.
Connecting lexica in bilingual cross-script morphological processing: base and series effects in language co-activation
Authors: Voga Madeleine , Anastassiadis-Symeonidis Anna
Published: November 2023

The study aims to specify the role of morphological information in the architecture and organisation of the bilingual lexicon by clarifying the respective roles of complex words’ base and suffix. The experiment which involved advanced Greek-French bilinguals, used a masked priming cross-script protocol, where all primes were in Greek (L1) and all targets in French (L2). Three categories of suffixed words were tested, using the suffixes -ιστής /istís/ ‘-ist’ and -isme: the first two categories were cognates, among which one was of complex but non-constructed words, i.e. whose base does not correspond to a lexical entry for the Greek speaker, e.g. ρεαλιστής /realistís/ ‘realist’ (Corbin, 1987, pp. 457-459), and the third category were non-cognates. The pattern of results demonstrates the strength of connections within the word family, even when the suffix is applied on an inexistent base. The data suggest the existence of an integrated lexicon, in which words from the two languages are interconnected, including through connections exclusively at the level of the suffix. In terms of language co-activation, the lexicon is shown to be much more sensitive to the ‘larger chain of morphological relations’ (Mulder, Dijkstra, Schreuder & Baayen, 2014), than to sub-lexical information during processing complex words.
Implicational relationships between desinences in Occitan imperfect and conditional forms
Authors: Esher Louise
Published: November 2023

This study discusses the origins and subsequent development of conditional and non-first-conjugation imperfect indicative desinences in varieties of Occitan. The systematic identity between these series of desinences can be traced to their common origin (Latin imperfect indicative forms in -ēbam, -ēbas, -ēbat, etc.), and predisposes them to undergo the same sound changes as each other: a change of particular interest is the irregular loss of intervocalic -b-, which is here argued to originate in the conditional. Strikingly, the identity between the series of desinences is also maintained in three cases of analogical change (levelling and extension) reported here, indicating strong implicational relationships between the series. In the light of these historical and comparative facts, the study proposes that the identity between conditional and non-first-conjugation imperfect indicative desinences is most accurately captured by treating it as morphomic.
Okay as a neutral acceptance token in German conversation
Authors: Oloff Florence
Published: November 2023

In German oral discourse, previous research has shown that okay can be used both as a response token (e.g., for agreeing with the previous turn or for claiming a certain degree of understanding) and as a discourse marker (e.g., for closing conversational topics or sequences and/or indicating transitions). This contribution focuses on the use of okay as a response token and how it is connected with the speakers’ interactional state of knowledge (their understanding, their assumptions etc.). The analysis is based on video recorded everyday conversations in German and a sequential, micro-analytic approach (multimodal conversation analysis). The main function of conversational okay in the selected data set is related to indicating the acceptance of prior information. By okay, speakers however claim acceptance of a piece of information that they can’t verify or check. The analysis contrasts different sequences containing okay only with sequences in which change-of-state tokens such as ah and achso co-occur with okay. This illustrates that okay itself does not index prior information as new, and that it is not used for agreeing with or for confirming prior information. Instead it enables the speaker to adopt a kind of neutral, “non-agreeing” position towards a given piece of information.
Relational adjectives used predicatively (but not qualitatively)
Authors: Shimada Masaharu , Nagano Akiko
Published: November 2023

Relational adjectives are representative attributive-only adjectives, but ascripitive copular sentences such as His razor is electric, where electric has the same relational reading as in electric razor, have been observed. In the literature, such problematic sentences have been approached from semantic and pragmatic perspectives, which correctly draw attention to the relational adjective’s basic function of classification. In this paper, we first present an in-depth cross-linguistic inquiry into the phenomenon and reveal commonalities and differences between English and Japanese. Then, we endeavor to show that the observed facts can be explained by extending Adger’s (2013) analysis of relational nominals to relational adjectives.
Ceremonial law in Christian ethics
Authors:   , Dire Glenn Edward
Published: November 2023

There is a perceived point of contradiction within the 1646 Westminster Confession of Faith’s paragraph 19.3 concerning the Mosaic Ceremonial Law. This point of contradiction is glaring because of the extreme diligence the Assembly took in crafting every word, sentence and paragraph within the Confession. In that paragraph, the Assembly described the Ceremonial Law as being “now abrogated, under the New Testament.” This abrogation is presented to the reader as entire and complete without any provided exceptions or qualifications. Immediately preceding their declaration of a wholesale abrogation, they described these laws as “partly, holding forth divers[e] instructions of moral duties.” The tension in the paragraph lies between their wholesale affirmation of abrogation and their acknowledgment of instructions of moral duties expressed by these laws. Within the chapter, the Westminster Assembly intended the meaning of “moral” as “perpetual.” Therefore, there is a demanded explanation for the perceived contradiction between a system of abrogated case laws and the perpetually obligatory duties associated with them.
A survey of expositions of the Westminster Confession of Faith revealed that this topic to date has been grossly ignored. When acknowledged, it is never fully explained according to the deeper hermeneutical understanding of this category of biblical law. Therefore, this thesis appeals to the Assembly members as primary sources to better understand their authorial intent of both phrases and how they harmonized seemingly contradictory statements. In doing so, the Thesis takes an intense investigation into Westminster’s systematics and hermeneutics of biblical law. Secondary source documents are also examined to determine if there is doctrinal uniformity in this area with broader Protestantism. The reason is because the Westminster Confession of Faith is a Protestant document resulting from the Solemn League and Covenant between Scotland and England, demanding a confession of faith in doctrinal accord with the best Protestant confessions then available.
The implications of mismanaged central bank loans on the future bankruptcy of Iraq

Published: November 2023

This study explores whether the CBI's poor credit management may bankrupt Iraq. This study investigates the causes and consequences of improper loan use. Central bank loans affect the Iraqi economy, and misallocating them has effects. The explanation emphasizes the long-term impact on Iraq's economy and finances. This study investigates how Iraq's central bank loans have harmed its finances and raised its bankruptcy risk. Qualitative and quantitative research methodologies meet the study’s aims. Interviews with banking leaders, government records, and annual reports give information. The analysis suggests that central bank loan mismanagement damaged Iraq's economy. Bribery, incompetence, and a lack of internal controls caused poor management. This mishandling led to Iraq's bankruptcy, growth in the national debt, and investor distrust. The research suggests ways to fix problems and lower financial risk. Proposals include strengthening banking regulation, loan distribution transparency, and governance. These measures will boost Iraq's economy and banking. This analysis concluded that managing the Central Bank of Iraq’s loans to the Iraqi government is critical. Reallocate these obligations to avoid bankruptcy and enhance Iraq's economy. Bankruptcy hurts both goals.

LA PROTECCIÓN DE LA NATURALEZA COMO IDENTIDAD LOCAL: CAUSSES DU QUERCY
Authors: Franqueira Daniel del Río , Aldrey-Vázquez José Antonio
Published: November 2023

Los espacios protegidos han sido la estrategia por excelencia para luchar contra los problemas derivados de la actividad humana. Tradicionalmente fueron tratados como elementos externos a los territorios en los que se implanta. No se realizaban procesos participativos con la población que en ellos residía, generando una fuerte oposición. El resultado fue una gran desconexión entre lo que el territorio era y lo que el parque representa, dando lugar a un proceso de desapropiación por parte de los habitantes, que lo ven como algo impuesto desde la administración.  Con las nuevas políticas de protección esta idea cambia. Procesos participativos y habitantes pasan a ser un eje central en la construcción del relato sobre el que se asienta la protección, fomentando que los habitantes formen parte de la planificación y gestión de las nuevas estructuras. El modelo de parque natural regional francés es una de las figuras de mayor renombre internacional, pues consigue compatibilizar la protección de la naturaleza y el desarrollo sostenible, a través de la implicación en su gestión, construyendo una nueva identidad alrededor del mismo.

Published: November 2023

Las transformaciones lineales son funciones entre espacios vectoriales. Ellas preservan (mantienen) las estructuras lineales que caracterizan a esos espacios: los transformados de combinaciones lineales de vectores son las correspondientes combinaciones de los transformados de cada uno de los vectores. Las funciones que mantienen las estructuras características de los espacios entre los que actúan son de especial importancia porque permiten” moverse” entre ellos comparando las estructuras que los definen; en particular, permiten analizar cuán diferentes o semejantes son desde el punto de vista de esas propiedades (lineales, en el presente caso). En este sentido las transformaciones lineales son tan importantes en el estudio de los espacios vectoriales, como las isometrías o movimientos lo son en la geometría.
On the Inclusive Relation between Translation and Communication in Classics Translation: A Case Study of Chu Ci
Authors: Zhang Junchi
Published: November 2023

To clarify the relationship between translation and communication will be of great help to Chinese classics’ “going global” and the establishment of communication studies of translation. Chu Ci (楚辞) is one of the significant Chinese classics. Therefore, to carry out a case study of it will be very meaningful. Through the case study of Chu Ci, this article aims to solve the following two questions: 1) What communication forms can be seen in classics translation? 2) What is the implication for studies on the relationship between translation and communication in classics translation with respect to the establishment of communication studies of translation? This article finds there is an inclusion relation between translation and communication, and the study objects of communication studies of translation should contain all modes of communication including translation and other modes of translation-related communication.
Research on the structure model of competitive factors of tourism information systems influencing socio-economic environmental performing arts industry in Anhui province based on SmartPLS analysis method
Authors: Shi Dufang
Published: November 2023

With the development of technology, tourism information systems are playing an important role in facilitating travel and enhancing tourist experiences. These systems include online booking platforms, mobile applications, virtual tour guides, and information centers that allow tourists to store destinations accommodation and provide valuable information about events and cultural experiences. The purpose of this study is to understand how socio-economic factors affect travel decisions and how the tourism information system takes advantage of technology so that tourists have valuable information and services can be provided. Looking for this relationship, the study enhances tourist experiences, helping local economies, and it wants to identify opportunities to promote sustainable practices that meet both tourist preferences and the needs of local communities. In the Anhui region of China, the study uses a survey method to gather data from 300 visitors at popular tourist destinations such as Zhiyuan Temple, Tunxi Ancient Street, Huangshan's granite peaks and twisted pines, and Wancuilou Museum. The data is analyzed using structural equation modelling (SEM). Convenience sampling, a non-probability sampling technique, is the foundation of this study. In the fictitious study's results, the effect of socio-economic factors on tourists' travel decisions, the importance of a tourism information system in enriching travel experiences, and the ability of tourism information systems to support local economies and promote sustainable practices can be included. In addition, tourism information systems can offer valuable contactless solutions for tourists, and there may be opportunities to use technologies such as virtual reality and agnate reality for immersive destination previews. The study offers perceptions on the variables that entertainers and artists should consider to maintain their system in the market and enhance the province's overall tourism offering. The research gap needs to be filled is how to improve the current models of Anhui province's tourism information system factors to better prepare visitors for consumer behavior. In addition to giving a more thorough understanding of consumer behavior and government policies regarding the technology used in the tourism information system, the research findings may serve to increase the overall quality of the tourism industry.

The globe has seen major breakthroughs in a variety of disciplines in recent years. The implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) necessitates a multifaceted approach that incorporates innovative ideas and technology to track, monitor, and evaluate progress towards long-term development goals. Geographic Information System (GIS) innovation is one such disruptive technology that has gained traction in recent years. Geospatial data is used by GIS to give important insights, enhance decision-making, and enable effective resource allocation. This study aimed to investigate the impact of the implementation of SDGs and GIS innovation on the socio-economic boom and concrete and rural machine mechanisms, with a focal point on the mediating role of community engagement and the moderating function of technology infrastructure. A quantitative research method turned into followed, and data was gathered from 320 individuals. A structured questionnaire was administered electronically to measure the constructs of SDGs implementation, GIS innovation, community engagement, socio-economic growth, and urban and rural system mechanisms. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was utilized for data analysis. The results indicated a significant and positive impact of both SDG implementation and GIS innovation on community engagement. Community engagement was found to have a significant and positive effect on socio-economic growth and urban and rural system mechanisms. Additionally, technology infrastructure was found to moderate the relationship between community engagement and urban and rural system mechanisms, as well as the relationship between community engagement and socio-economic growth. This study contributes to the existing literature by empirically examining the interplay between SDGs implementation, GIS innovation, community engagement, technology infrastructure, and their impacts on socio-economic growth and urban and rural system mechanisms. The findings highlight the importance of community engagement as a mediator and technology infrastructure as a moderator in achieving sustainable development goals and improving urban and rural systems.

Objectives: To compare the efficacy of 24hour versus 48hour prophylaxis of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid in the prevention of postoperative infections.
Study Design: This study was a randomized controlled clinical trial conducted in a tertiary hospital in Ibadan, Nigeria. Two hundred and fifty -two pregnant women scheduled for elective caesarean section were randomly assigned into two groups. After the initial pre-incision antibiotic administration, group A received the Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid for 24 hours while group B received the same drug for 48hours. Main Outcomes: Participants were examined on the 3rd, 10th and 17th post-operative days for evidence of infections. All entry and analysis of data was by computer using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22 (IBM, New York). Statistically significant differences were determined at p value of < 0.05.
Results: The incidence of postoperative wound infection, postoperative fever and endometritis in this study was 5.2%, 9.1% and 5.6% respectively. There was no significant differences in the incidence of postoperative wound infection, postoperative fever and endometritis between the two regimens of antibiotics.
Conclusion: A 24-hour prophylactic regimen of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid is adequate following caesarean section and prolonged use of antibiotics is generally unnecessary, costly and inadvertently increases antibiotics resistance

Pearls in the sand. How the WODC opens its treasure chest for government, science and society

In this contribution the author describes the WODC mission-vision on the way to 2033, based on two themes. First the change in the name of the WODC: the D for Documentation will be changed in the D for Data. This only saves one word, but it has significant consequences for the strategy and position of the WODC. Secondly there will be a new subtitle: ‘Knowledge Institute for the Rule of Law’. What it means to be a knowledge institute for the rule of law and how the WODC will contribute to the enhancement of the rule of law, will be described in this contribution to the special edition of Justitiële verkenningen in honour of the 50th anniversary of the WODC.

It is the mission of the WODC to enhance her impact in three ways. By stimulating evidence-based working for policy makers, by enhancing the cooperation with other research institutions and dissemination of the research in scientific publications, and by enhancing the findability of the research results for a wide range of people working for a just, resilient and safe society.
