Between East and West: Reassessing and Rediscovering Pearl S. Buck
Authors: Santander Oliván Mario
Published: March 2024

This paper is intended to be a tribute to the figure of Pearl S. Buck (1892-1973) on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of her death, reassessing and rediscovering her popularity in the West, her experience in China, and her literary authority worldwide. Pearl S. Buck was one of the most popular and controversial American writers of the 20th century. Her work was crucial in the perceptions of Westerners in general and Americans in particular of China and in promoting a stronger cultural understanding between the West and the East. Pearl S. Buck spent a considerable time in China, which gave her some authority to speak, write, and opine about that country. But what kind of authority? Why have her works been translated to more than a hundred languages and been read by millions of people around the world? Why does she still remain one of the least studied writers in the Western literary history? From what point of view should her writing be analysed? Is she still a popular author in the 21st century? This paper attempts to answer these and other questions related to the figure of Pearl S. Buck and is intended as an invitation to discuss a topic that needs further research in the field of East Asian Studies.
Exploring a New Paradigm of Translation Criticism: Analysis of Spanish Translations of Jin Ping Mei's Homosexual Texts
Authors: Liang Xu
Published: March 2024

A large number of Chinese literary works have been translated into Spanish and entered the Spanish market. Considering the differences between Chinese and Spanish languages and cultures, it is imperative to establish a model of criticism applicable to Chinese-Spanish translations. Therefore, in this article we studied significant proposals in the West (principally in Spanish-speaking countries) and in China to establish a new structure for translation criticism. Furthermore, we choose the homosexual texts in Jin Ping Mei as the object of analysis, and verify the feasibility of this critical paradigm from the linguistic (semantic and syntactic, rhetorical and stylistic), extra-linguistic (cultural and philosophical), and pragmatic perspectives, in order to determine a relatively objective textual norm and value standard.

Los concentradores solares lineales son una tecnología prometedora para la generación de energía térmica en el sector industrial. Estos sistemas pueden generar agua caliente o vapor, con temperaturas dentro de un amplio rango en función del proceso o demanda. En este trabajo se presenta el diseño, construcción, montaje y ensayo experimental de un concentrador Fresnel lineal de 1.44 m2 de superficie de espejos. El equipo fue capaz de elevar la temperatura del agua a valores superiores a los 70 ºC, para caudales inferiores a 1 l/min, desarrollando una potencia térmica de 2000 W. A su vez, el equipo ensayado desarrolló potencias superiores a los 5000 W para caudales elevados. Los resultados indican que los concentradores solares lineales son una tecnología viable para la generación de energía térmica en el sector industrial, y que la normalización o modularización en función de la capacidad de producción (l/m2dia) permite proponer a esta tecnología como alternativa a los sistemas de calentamiento pasivo (calefones) disponibles en el mercado.

El estilo de crianza se refiere a la manera en la cual los padres ejercen su influencia en la formación y el crecimiento del niño. Del estilo aplicado que fundamentalmente puede ser democrático, autoritario o permisivo, depende en gran medida la salud emocional de ese individuo en crecimiento. En Paraguay, tradicionalmente la figura de los padres se visualiza como el autoritario. El objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar la percepción social sobre estilos de crianzas de los hijos en Paraguay, en el año 2023. El diseño fue cuantitativo, descriptivo, de corte transversal, aplicado a una población de 313 personas, mediante un muestreo no probabilísticos por conveniencia, con el método de la encuesta, a través de un cuestionario difundido por las redes sociales. Entre los principales resultados se evidenció: 69% fueron mujeres; 48.2% con procedencia de Asunción y de 41.9% Central; 84% son de formación universitaria; 60.4% no tienen bajo su responsabilidad a un niño; el estilo predominante en Paraguay según los participantes fue el autoritario con 39%, seguido del permisivo con 29.1%, el democrático con 17.2% y el negligente con 14.7%. El 44.7% sufrió alguna forma de violencia como método de educación; 19.5% ha aplicado alguna forma de violencia en la crianza; 91.7% no está de acuerdo con dichas prácticas; 68.1% considera que la crianza autoritaria puede generar traumas y 83.7% que genera más miedo que respeto. Si la persona pudiese elegir el modelo predominante en Paraguay, el 77.6% optaría por un estilo democrático. Se concluye que el estilo de crianza predominante es el autoritario y que las prácticas de violencia hacia las personas son frecuentes.

Published: March 2024

COVID-19 cases are still increasing, and some countries are even experiencing a surge in cases for the second time. COVID-19 cases in Indonesia as of April 2021 almost reached one million. The Indonesian government is targeting the COVID-19 vaccination in Indonesia to reach 70%, covering the target of vaccine recipients of around 181.5 million people. The government conveyed the target optimistically to be achieved within 15 months. However, the achievements during the initial 3 months were only 5.72% for dose I and 2.99% for dose II. This study aims to review the health system’s resilience in COVID-19 vaccination. The approaches and methods used to obtain this information were qualitative with the method of desk study, expert study, and in-depth interviews. The results showed that the components of the health resilience strategy in COVID-19 vaccination in Indonesia experienced obstacles, especially in the aspects of vaccine availability, data collection, and maximizing the role of human resources through the support of actual research on vaccine development. Thus, it is necessary to strengthen the health system that accompanies the COVID-19 vaccination program by implementing health protocols, 3T surveillance (testing-tracing-treatment), and other approaches comprehensively.

Authors: Masruroh Rosita Arviana , Pitoyo Achmad Zani , Pratama Bramantya Surya
Published: March 2024

Pharmacy installation is part of the service system that influences hospital quality standards, one of which is waiting time for pharmaceutical service. The waiting time at the Outpatient Pharmacy Installation of Hospital X exceeds the Hospital Minimum Service Standard and Hospital Quality Indicators, which is 50 minutes. This study aims to determine the root of the problem and the solution to the long waiting time for prescription drug services at Outpatient Pharmacy installations. This research is a case study with a search method for identifying the root of the problem, determining alternative solutions, and prioritizing the main solution. The long waiting time for finished drug services is caused by the lack of shifts of workers when poly peak times, the absence of flow information and appropriate SOPs when pharmaceutical prescription services run concurrently, and non-compliance by pharmacists with SOPs for pharmaceutical services. The main solution was to create flow information and a new SOP for outpatient prescription services.

Published: March 2024

The latest advancements in the field of computational techniques and big data analytics (BDA) are very helpful in dealing with the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The objective of this study was to systematically review BDA applications that have been implemented in patient care and the challenges during COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted a literature search in PubMed, Science Direct, Clinical Key, EBSCO, ProQuest, Cochrane Central, Wiley’s Library, and Springer to identify relevant articles published from 2020 to 2022. Studies were included if they reported BDA applications that had been implemented in real-life patient care during COVID-19 pandemic. We identified 14 relevant studies that reported the implementation and evaluation of BDA applications in patient care during COVID-19 pandemic, of which ten adopted an observational design and four adopted an experimental design. The BDA applications targeted various tasks, such as estimate or predict risk score (n=4), diagnosis (n=6), and healthcare decision making (n=4). Regarding the challenges faced, we identified four issues of BDA during COVID-19, such as data governance, economic challenges, big data technology challenges, and security and privacy issues. This review indicates applications of BDA have tremendous potential to bring a lot of advantages, especially in combatting COVID-19 pandemic, despite insufficient evidence to advocate the routine use of patient care BDA.

Published: March 2024

The organization of electronic medical records (EMR) in hospitals is vital. In cases where EMRs are developed independently, failures that hamper the hospital's operations could sometimes occur. Risk management is needed to identify, reduce, and eliminate potential failures. This study aimed to analyze a risk management by using the Healthcare Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (HFMEA) method to reduce the risk of failure in the outpatient EMR development process at Baitul Hikmah General Hospital (RSBH). This observational research applied an action research design and was conducted using the HFMEA method. It analyzed the outpatient EMR development process at RSBH. Research data was obtained through a mixed method where information was collected from focus group discussions (FGD) and calculated risk priority numbers (RPN). The research subjects were determined by the purposive sampling technique (HFMEA team). The HFMEA form was used as the research instrument. At least 33 failure modes were identified. These failure modes were evenly distributed throughout the outpatient EMR development process at RSBH. The top five failure modes received treatment actions and their outcomes were measured. Four out of the five failure modes showed a significant decrease in RPN value. In short, risk management analysis using the FMEA method could significantly reduce the potential for failure in the outpatient EMR development process at RSBH

The impact of value-added taxes and inflation threshold on economic growth in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Authors: Louail Bilal , Waked Sami Sobhi , Riache Siham
Published: March 2024

The paper contributes to the literature by examining the effects of inflation on economic growth in Saudi Arabia between 2010Q1 and 2022Q4 and exploring whether the VAT impacted the inflation-growth nexus. The literature on the determinants of economic growth has expanded during the last few decades. The impact of inflation on economic growth has received much attention, with contradictory findings. The study employs the Logistic Smooth Transition Regression (LSTR) model to determine the optimal inflation rate and estimate the repercussions of inflation in each regime. The findings show that the optimal inflation rate is 2.47%. Inflation is demonstrated to improve growth if it remains below 2.47%. Nevertheless, as the inflation rate is beyond this threshold, the effect becomes negative. Subsequently, the study accounts for the influence of Value- Added Tax on the link between inflation and growth. According to the empirical estimation, the threshold level of the inflation rate is determined to be 2.88%. In addition, the adverse implications of inflation on growth are higher when we consider the implementation of VAT. Therefore, the study concludes that there are nonlinear effects of the inflation rate on economic growth in Saudi Arabia. The empirical results of the study have important policy implications for Saudi Arabia.

Authors: Çakır Yasemin , Ince Nevin
Published: March 2024

Hantaviruses are enveloped RNA viruses in the Bunyaviridae family that cause rodent-borne zoonotic infections. They cause two separate diseases, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS), as a result of transmission to humans through contact with rodent excrements and inhalation. The form seen more common in Türkiye is HFRS, which progresses with acute kidney injury and thrombocytopenia. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease that ranges from asymptomatic infection to pneumonia, respiratory failure, and death. Because of symptoms such as fever, weakness, and flu-like clinical findings in the early days, it can be confused with many infectious diseases. In this case report, a case of hantavirus renal syndrome admitted with fever, weakness, and flu-like symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic was presented.

Aim: Diverticular disease is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders to date, with a notable rising trend in developing countries. However, the proportion of colonic diverticulosis and its associated factors among patients who have undergone colonoscopy remains controversial. This study aimed to determine the local data on the proportion of diverticular disease in the community, its complications, the association of diverticulosis with diabetes mellitus and hypertension, as well as demographic characteristics.
Material and Methods: A retrospective review of medical records was performed among patients who had undergone colonoscopy between January and December 2019. Demographic and clinical characteristics, the presence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and diverticular disease and its complications were examined, and the association of diverticular disease and its complications with demographic and clinical characteristics were analyzed.
Results: Out of 221 patients, 12.7% (n=28) of them had diverticular diseases with a slightly predominant right-sided occurrence (42.9%, n=12). There were significant associations with age (p=0.002), ethnicity (p=0.011), and hypertension (p=0.036), but not with gender and diabetes mellitus (p=0.261, and p=0.334, respectively). There was no significant association between hypertension and recurrence of complicated diverticulitis (p=0.741), septic complications (p=0.678), and diverticular bleeding (p=0.243). Diabetes mellitus was significantly associated with diverticular bleeding complications (p=0.001) but not with septic complications (p=0.418) and recurrence of complicated diverticulitis (p=0.629).
Conclusion: This study showed almost a similar percentage of diverticulosis compared to previous local studies. Age, ethnicity, and hypertension were associated with the presence of diverticulosis, and diabetes mellitus was associated with diverticular bleeding.

Introduction. Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune inflammation of connective tissue involving the cartilage of the larynx. In this case, pathology of the larynx may be the only manifestation of this disease. The discomfort, foreign body sensation, and pain in the larynx noted by patients in the early stages of the disease are rarely associated by doctors with the manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis. In later stages, symptoms may be masked as comorbid pathology of the heart or upper respiratory tract. An analysis of the available literature revealed insufficient knowledge of issues related to the early diagnosis of inflammation of the larynx in autoimmune diseases, in particular, rheumatoid arthritis. Objective. To conduct a literature review to identify early symptoms of laryngeal damage in patients with the manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis. Materials and methods. Over the past 10 years, a literature review has been conducted in public databases using the following queries: laryngeal injury in autoimmune rheumatic diseases, dysphonia, voice impairment in rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and laryngeal joint injury. Data from literature sources, the authors of which made a significant contribution to the development of otorhinolaryngology and rheumatology, were included. Results. Summary data from the literature review are presented on the frequency of complaints made by patients, verification of characteristic symptoms, and their severity depending on the level of damage to the larynx. An early symptom of the manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis is dysphonia, which was observed with inflammation of the cricoarytenoid joints, arytenoid cartilage, and vocal fold nodules. A checklist of early symptoms of laryngeal injury has been compiled for routing patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Conclusion. Laryngeal involvement in rheumatoid arthritis is a fairly common symptom. Dysphonia as an early symptom is observed with polymorphism of inflammatory changes and manifests itself from single nodules to total fixation of the joints of the laryngeal cartilage. In diagnosing the manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis, an interdisciplinary approach of specialists is required.

Timely diagnosis of non-organic hearing loss in persons whose activities are associated with increased danger to life (participation in combat operations) is currently the most relevant. Using the example of two clinical observations, the role of objective hearing research methods for diagnosis and determination of further tactics of treatment of patients is shown in the work. Properly prescribed specialized treatment in the absence of organic pathology of the hearing organ in most cases leads to an improvement in its function.
Czwarta stolica. Kiedy Łódź rządziła Polską (1945–1949)
Authors: Waingertner Przemysław
Published: March 2024

Prezentowana książka jest pierwszą z serii „Łódź w PRL. PRL w Łodzi”. Autorzy serii w pięciu tomach podejmą wysiłek ukazania kolejnych etapów funkcjonowania miasta nad Łódką w latach 1945-1989, by w sposób jak najbardziej przystępny popularyzować wiedzę o Łodzi w kontekście PRL-owskiej rzeczywistości.

Autor publikacji przedstawia historię Łodzi w okresie pierwszego pięciolecia po II wojnie światowej, kiedy dawny polski Manchester zaczął odradzać się jako metropolia socjalistycznego przemysłu włókienniczego, prawdziwa stolica polskiej kultury z widokami na przejęcie podobnej funkcji w dziedzinie politycznej po zrujnowanej Warszawie, laboratorium nowej Polski, a także ważne ogniwo w łańcuchu represyjnego, totalitarnego systemu komunistycznego państwa. Odsłania też różne oblicza ówczesnej rzeczywistości: przejmowanie władzy przez komunistów, ich walkę z opozycją i podziemiem, postacie administratorów czerwonej Łodzi, powojenny rozwój miasta, reaktywację „łódzkiego włókna”, kulturalny boom po II wojnie światowej czy wreszcie utworzenie uczelni wyższych, m.in. Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego.

Publikacja jest adresowana do osób, które chcą sobie przypomnieć PRL-owską rzeczywistość Łodzi lub poznać ją na nowo.

Tourism is now a growing trend in the age of technology, whereby all information related to tourism can be easily accessed through smartphones. Malaysia is no exception to being a focused country as a popular Islamic tourism destination. However, there was insufficient tourism-related information, especially on Muslim tourists via smartphone. Hence the present article conducted a systematic literature review on the design and development of Islamic tourism applications via smartphones focusing on the Android platform. This study selected related articles using three databases: EBSCOhost, Mendeley, and Google Scholar. Based on the thematic analysis, this review has five main themes, namely 1) Islamic tourism; 2) technology; 3) mobile application; 4) barriers; and 5) management. The findings prompted the design and development of a smartphone application that addresses all of the needs of tourists, mainly Muslim tourists. This study also contributes to the use of technology and mobile application in teaching and learning Arabic for specific purposes such as tourism.

Whenever a person learns a second or foreign language, who is aware of the grammar of his mother tongue alone, it significantly impacts learning the second language. Challenges faced in learning a second or foreign language can be decreased by the comparative study of the grammar of the two languages. Accordingly, this research tries to study sound assimilation in Arabic and Tamil languages comparatively. The research problem concerns whether there are similarities between the two different languages from two other families in the assimilation process. This research aims at a comparative study of the assimilation of sound between Arabic and Tamil languages. This object is tried to be achieved through the qualitative research methodology under descriptive analysis for the secondary data analysis. While both languages are available from two different families, the assimilation process happens in consonant letters alone. Assimilation occurs in both of these languages due to the factors like place of articulation, characteristics of sounds, and place of vowel and consonant letters. In contrast, in the Tamil language, a word is divided into morphemes, and the homogeneity between the morphemes impacts the assimilation of sound. However, dissimilation occurs in these two languages due to sounds' characteristics and vowels' impact on consonants. The morphemes of the Tamil language have unique meanings. This research has identified that the types of good assimilation are the same for the two languages, while complete assimilation is an added type in Arabic.  On such a background, this research would hopefully assist those who learn Arabic as a second language with the mother tongue of Tamil.

MBKM: Connected Curriculum of Arabic Departments in Indonesia
Authors: Supardi Supardi , Malihah Noor
Published: March 2024

This research aims to investigate the implementation of the MBKM (Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka, Independent Learning-Independent Campus)’ Model of the connected curriculum in the Arabic Language departments through an online survey. This research is qualitative in nature by inviting responses from 9 heads of Arabic language departments. The results of this survey show that those Arabic Language departments respond to the MBKM ‘connected curriculum’ model positively, among others, by holding seminars, focus group discussions, and any events on the term of MBKM, and curriculum reviews to adopt the MBKM design. It is also found that there are still a few Arabic language departments that have already implemented the MBKM due to the necessary preparation process. This research reveals several designs those nine departments built, for example, the MBKM design with a limited 20 credits outside the department, a full MBKM of 40 credits outside the department, and 60 credits outside the department, while in terms of the implementation, there was a pattern of MBKM outside the department within the same institution and the department at another institution or university. These various designs show that MBKM provides institutions to adjust their curriculum design to meet their needs by considering the rules of MBKM offered by the government.

One of the branches of morphology is affixation. Affixation is a bound morpheme that is placed on the base morpheme. This article aims to describe: 1) the similarities in affixation in Arabic and Indonesian, 2) the differences in affixation in Arabic and Indonesian, and 3) the effect of affixation on the change of meaning. This research is a literature study using a qualitative approach with a contrastive analysis method, namely comparing by looking for similarities and differences between the two languages (Arabic and Indonesian) and also using constant analysis. The primary data in this study is the Qur'an, namely Surah Al-Mu'minun, and its translation, and secondary data are taken from books related to the research. The results showed similarities between Arabic and Indonesian affixation in Surah Al-Mu’minūn, namely the affixation with prefixes and suffixes, and there were two additional affixations in one word. The difference is that in Arabic, only affixation, while in Indonesian, affixation and pronouns. And the effects of the change of meaning in Arabic are in the form of gender (masculine and feminine) and the structure of numbers (singular, dual, and plural). In Indonesian, noun and adjective forms change to verbs. And for both (Arabic and Indonesian) change in active and passive forms of verbs and change in command words.
