Authors: Gombra Virender , Kaur Mandeep , Ahmad Syed Ansar , Sircar Keya , Rana Apoorv
Published: June 2022

Benign bony exostosis can be present in the maxilla or mandible. They are non-odontogenic sclerotic lesions which present as bony outgrowths on the jaws. On the lingual aspect of the mandible, these benign bony exostoses resemble peripheral osteomas and when present adjacent to bicuspids they are known as torus mandibularis (TM). Usually these TM are small, bilateral and asymptomatic. This article presents an atypical case of large nodule of unilateral TM associated with discomfort in a 46-year-old male patient with partially edentulous jaws. The bony outgrowth was surgically removed and follow up period of 6 months was uneventful. Review of the literature was undertaken for various etiological factors, clinical features and management of torus mandibularis.

Authors: Patel G B Varsha , Siddabasappa Sangeeth
Published: June 2022

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is an uncommon, benign but aggressive osteolytic neoplasm of the craniomaxillofacial region with an unknown etiology. The incidence in the general population is very low with age predilection generally younger than 30 years with a female predominance. CGCG is divided into rare aggressive variant and a common non aggressive variant based on clinicoradiographic features. It is usually unifocal and located at the anterior region of the mandible or maxilla, although are more frequently found in the mandible. A case of a large destructive CGCG involving the entire symphysis of mandible, causing extensive bony resorption, buccal and lingual cortical expansion in a female patient of age 32 years is presented.

Published: June 2022

Background: To evaluate the satisfaction of patients operated under spinal anaesthesia and to identify its determinants.
Methods: We conducted a prospective analytical study in the hospital wards of the gynaecology-obstetrics, general surgery and traumatology departments of the Yopougon University Hospital in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) over a period of 5 months from February to June 2019.
Results: At the end of the study, 156 patients were selected. The mean age was 38.89±14.28 years with extremes of 19 and 72 years and a sex ratio of 0.8. The unemployed represented 20.41% of the total number of patients. The types of intervention were dominated by caesarean sections with 53.21% of patients. All our patients had a pre-anaesthetic consultation which was carried out by an anaesthetist, however 44.23% were dissatisfied due to anxiety. During the operation, nausea and vomiting were the main sources of discomfort for 25% of patients. Thirst, hunger and pain were the most common discomforts encountered in the ICU by 40.38%, 42.31% and 36.52% respectively. The determinants of dissatisfaction were age over 45 years, female gender of patients. Osteosynthesis of the femur and osteotomy of the tibial plateau were significantly associated with a reduction in dissatisfaction.
Conclusion: Several causes of dissatisfaction remain during spinal anaesthesia. Their management would allow to improve the comfort of our patients, thus the quality of care.

Authors: Mustafa Marina , Amin Bilqees , Gayas Saima
Published: June 2022

Background: Keeping in view the endemicity of tuberculosis in Jammu and Kashmir and the lack of information about the prevalence of Female Genital TB, this study was primarily undertaken to diagnose the genital tuberculosis in infertile women and to determine the utility of the existing standard diagnostic tests in our hospital.
Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted over a period of 1 year. A total of 500 women attended Gynaecology OPD to evaluate the incidence of genital tuberculosis using CBNAAT (Cartridge based nucleic acid amplification test) and culture to diagnose female genital tuberculosis.
Results: Majority of the respondents (82.35%) were having primary infertility. Majority of the respondents (91.20%) were negative for genital tuberculosis and followed by positive patients for genital tuberculosis (8.80%). the sensitivity and specificity for CBNAAT (Catridge Nucleic Acid Amplification) samples 82.40% and 100% respectively while as, the sensitivity and specificity for microscopic culture (Ziehl Neelsen) were 37.84% and 98.20% respectively.
Conclusion: FGTB is a prevalent condition, particularly among infertile women. Early detection and treatment can lead to successful pregnancies. Individualization, counselling, and a multidisciplinary approach will produce greater results in the advanced stages. ART should only be provided to a select few patients after establishing that the disease is dormant, as hormonal treatment of ART can result in disease reactivation, which is highly counterproductive.

Authors: Balakrishnaiah Mahima K , Sheshadri Karthik G. , Ramegowda Sudheer , Hosalli Shivasharn K , Kumar Kishore , Ahmed Sharieff Sameer
Published: June 2022

Background: Brachial plexus block is a key technique in anesthesiologist’s practice. Ropivacaine is a long acting local anaesthetic, Dexmedetomidine has been included as an adjuvant to enhance block duration.
Aim: To elucidate the effect of addition of Dexmedetomidine to Ropivacaine in ultrasound guided parasagittal supraclavicular brachial plexus approach with respect to duration of analgesia, onset and duration of sensorimotor blockade.
Methods: A randomized single blinded prospective clinical study was conducted among Forty patients of 20-50yrs, ASA Grade I and II, weighing >60kgs scheduled for elective upper limb orthopedic surgeries. Group RN received 25ml of 0.75% ropivacaine with 1ml normal saline, Group RD received 25ml of 0.75% ropivacaine with 1mcg/kg dexmedetomidine diluted to 1ml. Analgesic efficacy, sensorimotor blockade was determined.
Statistical Analysis: Demographic and hemodynamic data was analyzed using student t-test. Unpaired t-test was used to analyze onset, duration of sensorimotor blockade and analgesic duration. Results were statistically significant if p-value <0.05. P-value <0.001 was considered highly significant.
Results: Analgesic duration was prolonged in Group RD rather than Group RN (646.82 +/- 21.56min vs 484.78 +/- 15.52min). Group RD had rapid onset of sensory (7.4 +/- 1.02min vs 9.9 +/- 1.16min) and motor blockade (10.25 +/- 1.13min vs 13.28+/- 1.22min). Duration of sensory (536.62 +/- 9.61min vs 413.79 +/- 15.61min) and motor blockade (430.13 +/- 11.68min vs 298.12 +/- 15.36min) was enhanced in Group RD.
Conclusion: Adding Dexmedetomidine to Ropivacaine provided superior analgesia along with rapid onset and longer duration of sensorimotor blockade.

Authors: Lodh Nirmalyo , Parmar Vandana , Oza Vrinda , Thakkar Feny
Published: June 2022

Background: It has been seen that volatile anaesthetics agents which are speedily eliminated with minimal breakdown should facilitate faster recovery from general anaesthesia. As compared to isoflurane-based anaesthesia, both sevoflurane and desflurane have shorter emergence times due to rapid induction and elimination.
Aim: The aim of this study is to compare and analyse the superiority of both agents, with regards to the emergence and recovery from anaesthesia, intraoperative hemodynamics, postoperative side effects and estimate the average quantity and cost-benefit of both volatile agents consumed.
Methods: Total of 100 cases above the age of 6 years undergoing tonsillectomy surgeries of ASA grade 1& 2 was included. Patients were allocated into two groups by computer-generated numbers. Group S: Anaesthesia maintained with 50/50 mixture of nitrous oxide/oxygen and sevoflurane. Group D: Anaesthesia maintained with 50/50 mixture of nitrous oxide/oxygen and desflurane. The parameters recorded were compared between the two groups using the unpaired t-test for continuous variables and P≤0.005 is deemed significant.
Results: There was no significant hemodynamic difference intraoperatively between sevoflurane and desflurane except in the desflurane group, heart rate was higher. Recovery was faster and better in Group D.
Conclusion: Postoperative recovery was better and faster and postoperative complication was lower in the desflurane group. Though the total cost of desflurane group was higher compared to sevoflurane but the use of desflurane can be justified with lesser complication, faster emergence from anaesthesia, faster shifting from PACU, lesser hospital stays, lower chance of nosocomial infection and lower cost of hospital stay.

Authors: Hajian Pouran , Ghorbanpoor Manoochehr , Nikooseresht Mahshid
Published: June 2022

Aortoesophageal Fistula (AEF) with no prior history of cardiac disease or trauma is an uncommon but a mortal cause of Upper Gastro Intestinal Bleeding (UGIB) in children.
In pediatric patients, AEF is mainly due to a congenital cardiac or vascular anomaly or foreign body ingestion. There are surgical, endoscopic, and interventional radiological treatment options; however, definitive treatment is surgical intervention. Because of the rapid and devastating course, diagnosis and treatment decision should be made quickly.
In this article, we report a case of an 11-months-old infant who presented with hematemesis due to a primary aortoesophageal fistula. The patient was transported to the operating theater for an emergency endoscopy. He suffered massive hematemesis in the operating room and an emergency laparotomy was performed but no source of bleeding was detected. An undiagnosed AEF was found and repaired during a left thoracotomy. Despite massive volume resuscitation, the patient passed away four hours later in the PICU. The etiology of the fistula remains unknown.

Authors: Laksono Agung Dwi , Wulandari Ratna Dwi
Published: June 2022

Background: Generally, violence against women, especially during pregnancy, can increase the risk of pregnancy and childbirth complications. Besides, multiple trauma may occur because it affects not only the woman but also the fetus. The present study analyzed the factors associated with violence against pregnant women in Indonesia.
Methods: This cross-sectional study involved participants consisted of 2,553 pregnant women (aged 15-49) from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey data. The dependent variable was violence, while the independent variables included the characteristics of the households, respondents, and husbands/partners. In the final stage, the author calculated determinants using binary logistic regression.
Results: The higher the wealth status of pregnant women, the lower the likelihood of domestic violence. The pregnant women who jointly owned a house with their husbands/partners were more likely to be violated than those who did not. Pregnant women in the high parity category were at greater risk of experiencing violence than those in the primiparous category. A husband/partner at a younger age increased the likelihood of violence among pregnant women. Finally, the pregnant women whose husbands/partners had primary/secondary education were more likely to experience violence than those whose husbands/partners had no education.
Conclusion: The study concluded five variables were statistically and significantly associated with violence against women in Indonesia: wealth status, homeownership, parity, husband/partner’ age, and the education level of the husbands/partners.

Published: June 2022

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are increasing in Myanmar. There have been limited studies to assess the health service system for NCDs patients at the primary health care (PHC) level. We aimed to assess and compare the health service readiness, availability, and utilization of PHC facilities for NCDs in districts in Myanmar.
Methods: This cross-sectional study collected data by questionnaires from 242 health care providers working at PHC facilities in three districts in Shan State, Myanmar from January 2020 to January 2021. Differences were calculated with the ANOVA test for NCD capacity readiness and NCD service availability and the Kruskal-Wallis test for NCD service utilization.
Results: PHC facilities had a mean score of greater than 70% for NCD capacity readiness of health workforces, health information systems, and essential medicines and equipment domains, but there were large gaps for improvement in financing and governance of health. Almost all PHC facilities had NCD services available, and the differences were not significant among the three districts. However, the mean scores of NCD services availability for chronic respiratory diseases and cancers were lower in all districts. Regarding NCD service utilization, the screening and new patient rates had significant differences among districts (P-value < 0.05).
Conclusion: We revealed the situation and gaps in managing NCDs in Myanmar’s PHC facilities. These findings can inform policymakers at the state and district levels to implement programs for improving health services for NCDs, particularly in rural areas.

Published: June 2022

Background: The increasing trend of obesity prevalence is a serious health warning for people worldwide. Evaluation of anthropometric measures is essential for explaining individual’s health status. Studies have investigated the effect of diet on inflammation. Empirical Dietary Inflammatory Pattern (EDIP) was recently developed to empirically create a score for overall inflammatory potential of diet. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between EDIP with anthropometric measures in women with overweight and obesity.
Methods: In a cross-sectional study, the EDIP score was calculated for 301 participants from their food frequency questionnaire, who referred to health centers in Tehran, Iran in 2018. Anthropometric measures was assessed through multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analyzer.
Results: 49% (95% CI: 40.8 - 57.2) had positive EDIP score. A significant relationship was found between EDIP quartiles with weight (P=0.004), BMI (P=0.012), FM (P=0.013), WC (P=0.003) and WHR (P=0.031). Those individuals in the lowest group of EDIP score had significantly lower weight, Body Mass Index, Fat Mass, Waist Circumference and Waist to Hip Ratio, compared to those with highest inflammation score.
Conclusion: A significant relationship was found between EDIP with anthropometric measures in women with overweight and obesity, supporting the hypothesis that an anti-inflammatory diet is associated with decreasing trend of weight, Body Mass Index, Fat Mass, Waist Circumference and Waist to Hip Ratio.

Published: June 2022

Background: Identification of freshwater snails and possible trematodes transmission sites are essential to continue monitoring the potential for disease outbreaks in areas with a history of parasitic infections. We aimed to search some areas in the margin of the Caspian Sea, northern Iran to identify the snail fauna of this area and verify the contamination of vector snails.
Methods: More than 5,308 snails from 51 diverse and permanent habitats were studied from April 2019 to October 2021. Snails were collected randomly and identified using shell morphology. Trematode infection in snails was investigated by the release of cercariae and dissection methods.
Results: Five families of freshwater snails including Lymnaeidae, Physidae, Planorbidae, Bithyniidae, and Viviparidae were investigated in the Caspian Sae Litoral of Iran. Physidae were found as the most prevalent snails (55.1%) followed by Lymnaeidae (29.4%). The parasitize rate was observed as 20% using releasing cercaria technique. Echinostomatoidea (31%), Schistosomatoidea (8%), and Diplostomoidea (21%), and Plagiorchioidea (40%) were seen as detected parasites. Meanwhile, 60% of the studied snails illustrated the other stages of trematodes.
Conclusion: The rate of infection of snails with different cercaria in northern Iran is significant. It needs further deep studies to clarify the situation of zoonoses transmitted by snails in the region. Policy makers should pay attention more to this area in terms of monitoring the snail-transmitted diseases.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we collected data from ocular specimens taken during the seven-year period of 2011 to 2018, and the results were then retrospectively analyzed. Samples had been obtained from patients who were investigated for ocular infections.
Results: Overall, 16,656 ocular samples were evaluated. The mean patient age was 48.31 ± 26.62 years. Most patients were men (60.33%), and men in the 7th decade of life were the largest represented group. The seasonal distributions of specimen collection sites followed the overall distribution of collection sites by year. Specimens obtained from the cornea were the most common (49.24%), also representing the largest number of specimens in all seasons. The most commonly isolated fungal microorganisms were Fusarium spp., followed by Aspergillus spp. and Candida albicans. Of the 6,556 specimens with positive bacterial cultures, 59% produced gram-positive bacteria, while the remainder produced gram-negative pathogens. The most commonly isolated bacteria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (17.77%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (13.80%), Streptococcus pneumoniae (13.27%), S. viridans (12.23%), and S. aureus (11.18%).
Conclusion: Most submitted specimens were obtained from the cornea. The most commonly isolated fungal microorganisms were Fusarium spp., followed by Aspergillus spp. and C. albicans. The most commonly isolated bacteria were P. aeruginosa, followed by S. epidermidis and S. pneumoniae.
Mass Occupational Phosphine Poisoning of a Dry-Cargo Ship Crew: A Case Report
Authors: Oglu Afandiyev Ismayil Namig
Published: June 2022

Fumigation of grain cargoes in the ship holds with phosphorus hydrogen-based substances has been widely introduced into the daily practice of the fleet. We present a case of mass occupational phosphine poisoning in the crew of the cargo ship. On October 18, 2018, the “Nazmehr” cargo ship transporting grain from Kazakhstan to Azerbaijan by the Caspian Sea has sent a SOS signal. The Azerbaijani patrol ship was found with 12 seafarers on board with signs of poisoning and evacuated them onshore. Upon admission to the hospital the patients were diagnosed with "phosphine poisoning" based on clinical symptoms and positive chemical-toxicology test. Because phosphine has no antidote, supportive care and symptomatic therapy was administered. In 36 hours, all patients were discharged without complications. Three seafarers died on board before the patrol ship arrived. The autopsy showed that death occurred due to profound shock, acute myocarditis, pulmonary edema and multi-organ failure. The cause of this mass poisoning in seafarers was the failure in the ship safety requirements, decrepitude of the vehicle and the lack of tightness of the holds. The incident showed the necessity for strengthening of control over the observance of safety rules during transportation of fumigated goods.

Project-based learning in initial teacher education: contributions for the professional development of elementary school teachers
Authors: Tempera Tiago , Tinoca Luís
Published: June 2022

This study aims to understand how Project-based learning, addressed in initial teacher education programs, is reflected in the practices and professional development of elementary school teachers, as it is a method that contrasts with students' conceptions about teaching and promotes the development of pupils’ skills and knowledge. The study uses a multiple case study design, in which the main data collection techniques are interviews and document analysis. The results show that initial teacher education institutions are concerned with the integration of this teaching method in its programs, although its approach is insufficient for future teachers and beginning teachers to implement it with confidence. Data also reveal the need for greater monitoring by higher education institutions during teachers' induction phase, in order to support them during the constraints of this stage, encouraging the use of active teaching methods and contributing to an early stage of their professional development.

MONEY AND CAPITAL IN THE CONCEPTS OF W. ST. JEVONS AND C. MENGER
Authors: Kavaliou. A.
Published: June 2022

The article analyzes the approaches of Carl Menger and William Stanley Jevons - two authors of the marginalist revolution - to the interpretation of the most important economic concepts - money and capital. They share the evolutionary explanation of the origin of money and similarly understanding their essence, but they emphasize the different basic functions of money. It gives the different shade to the nature of the value of money in their conceptions on money. The positions of the authors on the reasons for the dynamics of the value of money and on recommendations regarding monetary policy are again converging. The authors’ interpretation of capital as a homogeneous fund for generating future income is also similar. At once, Jevons accents emphasis on the function of capital as providing for the current needs of workers, and Menger on the subjectivity of placing any type of capital goods in one or another production chain depending on the individual's needs.

Blended teaching and online learning have recently been implemented at UEH University. The majority of students, on the other hand, appear to be reluctant to online instruction. The goal of the study is to enhance students’ interaction in online classes. The theory of increasing online teaching interactivity has been applied in the research, which includes interactions between students and the course content, interactions between teachers and students, and interactions among students. The research took place over two semesters and lasted 120 hours, involving 70 participants. After the students complete one unit of the syllabus, each group is assigned to do a team project or make a presentation online. The research data is gathered through observations by the teacher and a questionnaire designed to assess the quality of the online course. The findings demonstrate that working on projects can improve the students’ interaction and communication. Through group work, students participate in collaborative learning during the course. These interactions can boost students' online learning motivation and efficiency; therefore, they can help them improve their performance. It is suggested that the value of interaction should be emphasized in the online setting.
Coherence Expressed Through Time Relationship (by Frequency Relationship Type) in Duong Huong's The Husbandless Wharf

Coherence in terms of physical time appears a lot in story texts and is determined by three dimensions: order, frequency and duration. Frequency relation is the relationship between the event mentioned and the number of times that event is mentioned in the text. The frequency in the story is classified by researchers into three cases: singulative (a case that occurs only once and is told in the story once), repetitive (a case where an event occurs once and is told in the story more than once) and iterative (an event that occurs many times and is told in the story only once). This article will look into what frequency relationship type is used in The Husbandless Wharf by Duong Huong to show that the time relationship not only plays a great role in creating texts but also make it framed tighter and more coherence. Thereby, it also proves Duong Huong’s talent in the art of creating stories.
Using Semiotic Resources to Upsurge the Level of Learning Among Young Learners in Rural India
Authors: Evangeline H. Marie
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this study is to analyse how the semiotic resources can be helpful in improving or increasing the level of learning among young learners especially in rural India. Technology has taken a new shape especially in the sector of education, information and communication. Even in the swift developmental process around the world, some communities or people still stay away from margin, unaware of the development in the education and technology. The children who are in rural areas are economically, socially backward and are deprived from good education. This affects them psychologically. In urban areas education level has raised consistently and school children are privileged to get good education and shape their personality accordingly. Education to the young learners is not simply reading books and passing the examination. It must help them to prepare for their future. These categories of children can be taught using different modes of semiotic resources to make them understand the language and the concepts clearly. Semiotic resources can be used in communication, especially using the language, gestures and expressions. This has a great impact on teaching learning process. This paper gives an idea of how these semiotic resources can be used effectively to teach English language and how it can be embedded in educational settings.

The study’s implications on English education are also pursued.
A Corpus-Based Study: EFL College Students Using COCA to Improve Lexical Usage in Written Production
Authors: Nguyen Thao Thi Ngoc
Published: June 2022

Corpus linguistics has attracted growing interest from linguistics, researchers, and language educators. This area is potential for studies in linguistics as well as improvement in language learning. This study aims at investigating how a corpus-based website named https://www.english-corpora.org/coca/ - or COCA - helps improve students' lexical usage in written production. Participants were EFL students from a university using COCA over two months for revising vocabulary in their writing assignments. Data included the measure of textual lexical diversity (MTLD) of the participants' revised assignments and their reflections/reviews on using COCA. Results reveal some positive changes in MTLD values, while participants' feedbacks suggest COCA is useful for gaining knowledge about lexis, and improving the use of collocations, synonyms as well as high-lexis despite some challenges of unfamiliar interface and overwhelming contents. The study implies the feasibility of applying corpora provided that there are sufficient facilities and careful training for learners.

In the world of international shipping, effective communication is an essential ingredient to safe and efficient ship operations as “careless talk costs lives”. To maintain this effectiveness, marine orders, one of the most important factors of communication at sea, must be precise, simple and unambiguous to avoid confusion and error. With an aim to investigate more about the effectiveness of these marine orders, 190 marine orders used on board and in external communications were collected and analyzed quantitatively in terms of speech acts categories, directness, type of sentence, length, and density of nautical terms. Based on the data analysis of these linguistic features, the similarities and differences between the orders used on board and in external communications are unveiled. Finally, all of these analyses and findings are summed up to make the most general and concise conclusions about the effectiveness of marine orders used in communications at sea.
Isolating Intensification in English Literary Discourse into Vietnamese
Authors: Chi Le Thi Giao , Truc Doan Phan Anh
Published: June 2022

Intensification is a category of language much discussed by a lot of linguistics, however, this category is specifically identified just in the position of Martin and White (2005). This is, it is divided into two infused and isolated lexical-grammatical classes, of which isolating intensification is known as the markers which raise or lower the level of intensity of a certain individual item as qualities or processes. How isolating intensification is explored through the lens of translation is still left untouched. This paper aims to find out the encoding of meaning embodied in isolating intensification. Or rather, it explores how the nuance of meaning of isolating intensifiers and maximisers is when being rendered into Vietnamese. The study was operated using qualitative method and basing on 400 samples extracted from four literary works in English namely Wuthering Heights by Bronté, The Man of Property by Galsworthy, The Moon and Sixpence by Maugham and Vanity Fair by Thackeray, and their equivalents in Vietnamese. The research results show that there are adjustments of up-scaling and down-scaling, or losses of level of intensity when these intensifiers are translated into Vietnamese. The findings help learners and translators be aware of the changes occurring in the process of translation so that they can apply them to learning and using this point of language effectively.
An Investigation on Hindrance Factors to the Effectiveness of Song Deployment in Hufi Pronunciation Class
Authors: Huong Nguyen Thi Mai
Published: June 2022

Pronunciation, undeniably, an integral part of the language teaching and learning process. Bad pronunciation may cause misunderstanding or in the worst case a communication breakdown. On the other hand, correct pronunciation helps to keep the conversation go on smoothly. Additionally, it can leave a good impression on the listeners. Being aware of its vital role in English learners’ speaking competence, researchers and teachers have paid considerable attention to it. However, it still remains a big challenge in classrooms. The author believes that English songs would help address this problem greatly. Therefore, in this paper, she would like to examine problems associated with the deployment of English songs in pronunciation classes with an aim to find ways to make most of it. The findings have pointed out a short of time, an intensive syllabus, multi – level classes, big class size, a lack of formal training for teacher, a mismatch between teachers and students’ perception of interesting songs, poorly – designed tasks have reduced the benefits of the use of music in her research contexts. Therefore, a number of suggestions have been made to deal with them including: a creation of a song collection for pronunciation learning and teaching with the participation of students, an extended course for pronunciation and an introduction of a training course for teachers. Because of limited time and scope of this study, her research will based on the review and analysis of related literature, her students’ characteristics and her own working setting – Hochiminh University of Food Industry and an informal discussion with her teaching mates. Nontherless, the findings will certainly benefits learners, educators and language institutions in similar contexts.
A Cognitive Semantics Approach to the Polysemy of the English Preposition “On” and Its Vietnamese Equivalents
Authors: Dac Phat Dinh , Minh Han Nguyen
Published: June 2022

Exploring the shift in meanings of translating the preposition “on” from English to Vietnamese, the study, besides analyzing the cases of the changes in meanings of the preposition, aims at explaining the cases where the preposition “on” is not translated as “trên” and its Vietnamese equivalents under the cognitive semantics approach. The methods of analysis and synthesis of theories from the available data on the preposition “on” as well as the methods of classifying and systematizing prepositions are applied to English-Vietnamese translation. From the collected data, this study reveals the cases of the shift in meanings of “on” and the characteristics of multiple meanings of the preposition under the cognitive semantics approach. In the course of translation, contextual meanings are used in order to convey the meanings appropriately in the Vietnamese style. The research paper can make some contribution to the teaching of translation and make it a reference material for English learners.
