How NIRS can predict the outcome of patient in low systemic pressure: a case series
Authors: . Purwoko , Permana Septian Adi , Dewi Fitri Hapsari , Prihandana Prasdhika Arie
Published: February 2024

Mitral valve replacement (MVR) is a surgical procedure to treat mitral regurgitation (MR). As there is an increase in the afterload in the postoperative period, patients tend to have low cardiac output syndrome. This condition may limit oxygen delivery to body tissues. Improved venous saturation has been linked to positive neurological outcomes. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is the new technique to monitor regional oxygenation in real time. This study reports on four patients who underwent MVR due to a combination of severe mitral stenosis (MS) and mild MR. All patients had complaints of dyspnea on exertion to unbearable chest pain. Physical and work-up examination led to a diagnosis of decompensated heart failure, concomitant valve disorder, fluid overload, and cardiomegaly. Preoperative catheterization to stratify the risks of the procedure was done on all four patients. The surgery planned was cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with standard monitoring and additional NIRS measurement. The measurement of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and NIRS were tightly monitored and maintained in each patient, with the use of vasoactive agents. All four patients suffered unstable hemodynamics and were admitted to intensive care unit with the support of mechanical ventilation and other supportive therapies. Cerebral perfusion can reach the baseline normal value even though in low cardiac output syndrome, and NIRS can predict the outcome of the patients better than the conservative monitoring.

Published: February 2024

Background & objective: Preoperative anxiety is a natural human psychology, and the physicians usually prescribe tranquillizers to allay the anxiety of their anxiety. Various other means have also been employed for this purpose. We aimed to investigate the impact of lavender aromatherapy on preoperative anxiety and propofol requirement at induction of anesthesia.
Methodology: A total of 108 female patients were enrolled in the study, and their anxiety levels were evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at three different time points. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. Group A (Lavender Group) patients were given lavender aromatherapy via a cotton strip infused with two drops of 100% pure lavender essential oil, while the patients in Group B (Control Group) had no aromatherapy.
Results: The results showed that the lavender aromatherapy significantly reduced anxiety in Group A (P < 0.001) compared to Group B, and the mean differences of VAS scores for all anxiety assessments were also significantly reduced in Group A (P < 0.000). In addition, the mean total amount of propofol required was significantly less in Group A than in Group B (118.46 ± 40.01 vs 140.38 ± 35.29 mg; P = 0.003), while the mean duration to reach loss of consciousness was similar in both groups.
Conclusion: The findings of our study suggest that lavender aromatherapy can be a simple, safe, and cost-effective way to reduce preoperative anxiety and decrease the amount of propofol required for the induction of anesthesia. Therefore, the use of lavender aromatherapy may be a valuable addition to the preoperative care of patients undergoing elective surgeries.

Background & objective: Surgery and some anesthetic techniques can contribute to tumor cells dissemination. It is known that the use of local anesthetics and regional blocks during mastectomy preserved the immune function. We evaluated and compared, the levels of some cytokines (IFNγ, TNFα, IL2, IL12) responsible for immune function, as well as the level of leukocytes before and after breast carcinoma surgery; and to find out and compare the effects of local anesthetics on blood pressure (BP) and on postoperative complications, e.g., pain, vomiting, headache, the need for analgesia and surgical complications.
Methodology: In this randomized prospective study, 45 patients were allocated in 3 equal groups: Group GA (n = 15) for standard general anesthesia; Group LA (n = 15) for general anesthesia and infusion of lidocaine; Group PECS (n = 15) for pectoralis I/II block with bupivacaine and general anesthesia. Blood samples were taken to ascertain cytokines and leukocytes levels before surgery and 24 h after surgery.
Results: Lidocaine caused fall of BP (P = 0.002t), but bupivacaine (PECS I/II block) produced stable BP during mastectomy (P = 0.1). A significant increase of leucocytes after surgery was seen in Group PECS compared to Group GA (P = 0.033). In 24-h intervals after surgery, lidocaine and bupivacaine produced an increase of TNFα (P < 0.05). Bupivacaine showed a significantly low intensity of postoperative pain compared to other techniques and zero postoperative complications.
Conclusion: Local anesthetics lidocaine and bupivacaine enhance the immune response and produce more stable hemodynamics compared to general anesthesia alone during mastectomy in patients with breast carcinoma.

Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome: A case report
Authors: . Yahya , Hidayati Hanik Badriyah , Sugondo Alexander Tikara , Puspamaniar Vania Ayu , Firdausa Fajar Sena
Published: February 2024

Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS) is a rare syndrome that can occur in patients with severe azotemia undergoing an initial hemodialysis (HD) session. DDS is associated with a more rapid decrease in urea concentration in the blood than in the brain during dialysis. Although severe DDS is less common, the milder forms of DDS may be missed by doctors. A 53-year-old male patient had the main complaint of severe dizziness in the last 10 months accompanied by a sensation of a wobbling head and tinnitus in his right ear. The patient had previously been diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease in 2018 and underwent regular hemodialysis two times a week since June 2019. In the patient's neurological status, cerebellar examination was positive for left dysmetria, left positive past pointing, Romberg test (open eye) fell to the right, and Romberg test (closed eye) fell to the right. There was no nystagmus on the patient's neuro-ophthalmological examination. Patients with kidney failure are at risk of developing DDS, so that appropriate precautions are needed. Due to the variability of symptoms, DDS often goes undiagnosed. Thus, it is important to be aware of the risk factors for DDS so that preventive steps can be taken appropriately. Continuous case reporting will raise awareness and the opportunity for further research to improve outcome in severe cases of DDS.

Chronic post-ICU pain: A review of the mechanism and the rehabilitation management
Authors: Nazir Arnengsih
Published: February 2024

Objectives: This review aimed to explore the pain mechanism and rehabilitation management of functional impairments due to chronic post-ICU pain (CPIP).
Methodology: Articles were searched using PubMed and Google Scholar databases with keywords chronic pain, chronic post-ICU pain, persistent pain, ICU-related pain, ICU survivor, and rehabilitation. All types of articles that were written in English and available in full-text format were considered for analysis.
Results: The cause of CPIP is not certainly known, but several factors associated with the incidence of CPIP have been identified including genetic, premorbid conditions, medical intervention, and ICU care, as well as psychological or social factors. CPIP management aims to prevent disabilities due to chronic pain and improve functional abilities. The rehabilitation program of CPIP begins with a prevention program from the acute phase to the follow-up phase. The rehabilitation program consists of physical modalities, exercise, occupational therapy, and psychological or social counseling, as well as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The CBT program has been shown to be effective in improving long-term outcomes, preventing the incidence of PICS, and improving the functional status of ICU survivors.

Este trabalho revisou o papel dos inibidores do cotransportador de sódio-glicose 2 (SGLT2) no tratamento da diabetes tipo 2 e seus impactos cardiovasculares. A partir da análise de estudos clínicos, incluindo aqueles conduzidos com empagliflozina, canagliflozina, dapagliflozina e ertugliflozina, observou-se uma redução significativa do risco de eventos cardiovasculares adversos em pacientes tratados com esses medicamentos. Além disso, os inibidores do SGLT2 foram associados a benefícios adicionais, como a redução da progressão da doença renal e da hospitalização por insuficiência cardíaca. No entanto, são necessárias mais pesquisas para compreender completamente os mecanismos de ação desses medicamentos e seus potenciais efeitos adversos a longo prazo. Em resumo, os inibidores do SGLT2 representam uma importante opção terapêutica no manejo da diabetes tipo 2, oferecendo benefícios cardiovasculares e renais adicionais além do controle glicêmico.

В статье уделяется внимание изучению библионимов как одному из важнейших компонентов исследования художественного произведения на примере творчества В.В. Бианки. На данный момент библионимы изучены недостаточно, но исследования в этом направлении актуальны и значимы, поскольку название текста тесно связано с его содержанием. Затрагивается вопрос о целесообразности версии прямого влияния названия художественного текста на его содержание. Принято полагать, что В. Бианки писал тексты, адресованные исключительно детской аудитории, о природе, при этом произведения автора написаны в соответствии с романтической концепцией двоемирия, писатель представлял природу как высшую реальность, противопоставленную «цивилизованной жизни». Нелегкая судьба писателя получила отражение в его творчестве. В данной статье отмечается, что библионимы В.В. Бианки включают такие элементы, как зоонимы, топонимы, аллюзии и др., автором статьи выделяются персонифицированные и комические названия, заголовки-предложения разнообразные по характеристике. В. Бианки работал для детской и взрослой аудитории, только спустя годы автор понял, что писал для взрослых, сумевших не утратить в себе детскую душу, что в библионимах.

Обратим внимание на то, что «народные говоры не одно десятилетие возбуждают интерес к изучению у многих учёных. Особую увлечённость демонстрируют диалектологи: внимание сосредоточивается на исследовании разных уровней языка жителей сельских поселений. Воронежские говоры не стали исключением» [1; c. 16]. Одновременно уточним, что «история изучения воронежских диалектов уходит в XIX век, тем самым насчитывает около 170 лет» [1; c. 17]. Целью настоящего изыскания является определение роли и вклада лингвиста А.Д. Черенковой в изучение воронежских говоров. Предметом статьи стали многолетние исследования по описанию территориальных особенностей речи жителей Воронежской области. Объектом работы выступает научная деятельность диалектолога. В период с середины XX века по настоящее время деятельность исследователей, описывающих говоры нашей области, представлена многочисленными монографическими работами, статьями, очерками и др. научными сочинениями.

FUNCTIONING OF EPITHETS IN THE LYRICS OF A. P. SUMAROKOV
Authors: Казаковцева О.С.
Published: February 2024

Статья посвящена анализу функционирования в поэтическом тексте эпитетов как одного из изобразительно-выразительных средств. В данной работе производится морфологический и лексико-семантический анализ эпитетов в одах А. П. Сумарокова, а также определяется их стилистическая функция. Актуальность исследования заключается в отсутствии специальных работ по изучению эпитетов в лирике А. П. Сумарокова, в частности, в одическом жанре. В силу превалирования прилагательного в роли эпитета именно эти слова стали основным объектом лексико-семантического и стилистического анализа. Наряду с полными формами прилагательных и причастий в одах Сумарокова используются и усеченные, характерные для поэтического языка XVIII века. Основным местом эпитета по отношению к главному слову в словосочетании является контактная препозиция. Удлинение эпитетного ряда происходит за счет цепочечного нанизывания красочных определений. В 98 % случаев ряд включает два эпитета, парное соединение с помощью союза и для анализируемых текстов не характерно. Торжественный пафос оды обусловливает использование эпитетов с семантикой восхваления и оценочности, а также эпитетов-прилагательных, выраженных превосходной степенью сравнения. Колоративная лексика встречается спорадически и представлена двумя хроматическими цветами: красный и зеленый. С помощью хронотопических эпитетов автор показывает обширные территории своей родины. Использование перифрастических оборотов, античных образов и средств народно-поэтической речи в составе эпитетных словосочетаний помогает А.П. Сумарокову достичь речевой выразительности и большей образности при характеристике лиц и объектов окружающего мира, способствует созданию патетического тона жанра оды.

Published: February 2024

Настоящая статья посвящена изучению комментариев, оставленных детьми в возрасте от 8 до 12 лет, во взаимосвязи с первичными новостными текстами политической тематики из франкоязычного журнала “1jour1actu”. Материалом стали 97 комментариев на новостные тексты со структурой “Kebab” (Кебаб), отобранные за период 2013-2023 гг. В ходе исследования были выявлены структурные компоненты текстов, на которые молодые читатели оставляют свои комментарии: “Title” (Заголовок), “Lead” (Вводка), первый “Anecdote” (повествовательный крючок), “Background” (Фон), второй “Anecdote” (повествовательный крючок). Большая часть детских комментариев приходится на информацию, изложенную в “Lead” (Вводке), где кратко сообщается о новостном событии, так как в процессе ознакомления полностью с новостным текстом, благодаря его структуре, детям становятся понятны причинно-следственные связи, и при этом им неоднократно напоминается о новостном событии, которому посвящена статья. Оставленные детские комментарии обладают эмоциональным компонентом, который передается при помощи лексических единиц с положительной и отрицательной коннотацией, эмоционально-оценочных слов, превосходной и сравнительной формами прилагательных и эмотиконов. При написании комментариев дети могут как сдержано выражать свои эмоции, учитывая речевой этикет, так и применять грубую лексику, эксплицируя возмущение. Все это указывает на то, что дети в возрасте от 8 до 12 лет интересуются политическими новостями своей страны и всего мира, читая объемные новостные тексты, изложенные по структуре “Kebab” (Кебаб), и активно участвуют в их обсуждении, выражая свое мнение о происходящих событиях.
ЖЕНСКИЕ ОБРАЗЫ В РОМАНЕ И.С. ШМЕЛЕВА «ЛЕТО ГОСПОДНЕ»
Authors: Ковалева Л.В.
Published: February 2024

Произведение И.С. Шмелева «Лето Господне» посвящено изображению русских религиозных традиций, обрядов, то есть русской православной культуре. В статье рассматриваются образы русских женщин как воплощение мудрости, смирения, религиозности. Автор акцентирует внимание на контрасте духовного и материального, который пронизывает всю сюжетную линию романа. Этот контраст особенно ярко показан при описании женских образов. С одной стороны, автор показывает, что простые русские женщины могут быть бедны, некрасивы, с другой стороны – они добродетельны, мудры и религиозны. В романе присутствует целая плеяда женских образов: банщица Полугариха, Пашенька-преблаженная, торговка Маревна, торговка лесом Катерина Ивановна и другие. Все они описаны И.С. Шмелевым с симпатией и любовью. У женщин трудная судьба. Однако писатель показывает истинную сущность русских женщин, именно благодаря жизненным испытаниям, они обретают себя в православии и находят силы прийти в трудную минуту на помощь. Писателю было важным подчеркнуть красоту народной души, православное мировоззрение русского народа, его подлинно христианский взгляд на мир и человека.
Communist Party documents from the period of its rule in Kazakhstan and Poland – a comparative study
Authors: Magier Dariusz , Shotayev Madi Tursynbekovich , Makhanbayev Talgat Zhandosovich
Published: February 2024

The article is a brief comparison of the documentation system of the Communist Party ruling Poland from 1944 to 1989 and in Kazakhstan from 1918 to 1991. Despite considerable geographical remoteness, there are strong similarities between them in terms of party organisation, office rules and provisions regulating archives. This was caused by the reflection of Soviet models in communist Poland after 1944. The regaining of sovereignty by Poland in 1990 and independence by Kazakhstan in 1992 led to the transfer of documentation from party archives to the state archive service in both countries. As a result, it was possible to study and make them publicly available.

This research was conducted on 486 issuers that have gone public on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (BEI). This research aims to determine the influence of financial performance on the Price Earnings Ratio (PER) and its implications for stock prices in the period 2018–2021. The analysis technique uses panel data regression, and data processing uses the EViews application. The results of the research illustrate that the NPM variable has a significant positive effect on PER; if NPM increases by 1%, it will be able to increase PER by 0.055 times, while the ROA and DAR variables have an insignificant negative effect on PER; if ROA increases by 1%, it will be able to reduce PER by 0.020 times, and the same applies to DAR; if DAR increases by 1%, it can reduce PER by 0.0090 times. Independent variables (ROA, NPM, and DAR) simultaneously influence PER. Based on the adjusted R-squared, the three independent variables affect a PER of 81.70%. The PER variable has a significant positive effect on share prices. If PER increases by 1 time, it will increase the share price by IDR. 0.000722. Based on adjusted R-squared, PER has an effect of 99.9% on share prices.
Ethical dilemmas related to the robot evolution
Authors: Maternowska Małgorzata
Published: February 2024

Rozwój technik obliczeniowych, robotyki, druku 3D i technologii materiałowych umożliwia tworzenie zaawansowanych systemów robotów, które mogą autonomicznie rozmnażać się i ewoluować. Powstająca technologia ewolucji robotów rzuca wyzwanie istniejącej etyce sztucznej inteligencji, ponieważ wrodzona adaptacyjność, stochastyczność i złożoność systemów ewolucyjnych stwarzają liczne zagrożenia. Trudno jest lekceważyć możliwe implikacje dwóch kluczowych funkcjonalności ewoluujących robotów: samoreplikacji i losowej zmiany formy oraz zachowania robota. Samoreplikacja umożliwia robotom rozmnażanie się bez interwencji człowieka. Mutacje lub losowe zmiany ewolucyjne mogą prowadzić do niepożądanych i szkodliwych zachowań robotów, zagrażając ludzkim interesom. Za każdym razem, gdy powstaje technologia, która nie jest bezpośrednio kontrolowana przez człowieka, i gdy proces ten jest nieprzewidywalny, rodzą się pytania o ryzyko i odpowiedzialność. W artykule porusza się kwestie możliwego ryzyka powstania szkód i odpowiedzialności w powiązaniu z kluczowym problemem kontroli ludzkiej nad procesem ewolucji. Zagadnienie odpowiedzialności za sztuczną inteligencję uznano za szczególnie istotne zarówno z etycznego, jak i prawnego punktu widzenia. Generalnie odpowiedzialność dotyczy pełnego spektrum zdarzeń ex post (kto zawinił, jaki był powód) oraz ex ante (jakie działania należy podjąć, by zmniejszyć ryzyko, czyli co jest zaniedbaniem i kto je popełnia) i z reguły spoczywa na ludziach. Problemem jest jednak istnienie luk w zakresie odpowiedzialności za powstałe szkody czy zdarzenia niepożądane, w których uczestniczą ludzie i systemy sztucznej inteligencji, jakich nie da się wypełnić tradycyjnymi koncepcjami przypisania odpowiedzialności. W artykule wskazano na proponowany w literaturze przedmiotu sposób kompleksowego rozwiązania problemu luk w zakresie odpowiedzialności za sztuczną inteligencję, oparty na idei projektowania systemów socjotechnicznych umożliwiających znaczącą kontrolę człowieka, czyli systemów dostosowanych do ludzkich intencji i możliwości. Celem artykułu jest wskazanie na pilną potrzebę ciągłego poszukiwania odpowiedzi na pytanie: w jaki sposób można odpowiedzialnie kontrolować ewolucję robotów?

Contributos do GeoGebra para exploração do Pensamento Computacional no contexto da Geometria
Authors: Abar Celina Aparecida Almeida Pereira , Almeida Marcio Vieira de
Published: February 2024

O termo pensamento computacional (PC) traz uma nova abordagem na área da ciência cognitiva com a premissa de que a inserção dos conceitos da Ciência da Computação na educação básica desenvolve uma habilidade de abstração diferente, que ajuda as crianças na resolução de problemas em todas as áreas da vida, não apenas no uso de computadores ou para futuros cientistas da computação. A educação em inteligência artificial (IA) requer cultivar o PC dos alunos no currículo escolar, de modo a transferir suas habilidades a problemas autênticos. Tem-se como proposta desenvolver habilidades do Pensamento Computacional, por meio de atividades com os comandos do GeoGebra. A opção foi por uma metodologia qualitativa na qual surgiram relatos das experiências, nas diferentes etapas previstas e relacionadas com a formação de professores de Matemática. Espera-se que a proposta tenha reflexos positivos na prática docente, considerando as habilidades do PC e sua relação com a IA.

Published: February 2024

Este artículo permite explicitar un instrumento esencial para estudiar y analizar los procesos de transposición didáctica del conocimiento matemático antes de ser transformado para ser enseñado. El objetivo es exteriorizar aspectos importantes de la constitución de un Modelo Epistemológico de Referencia para la enseñanza. En particular nos centramos en la enseñanza de los vectores en la geometría. Se responderá la cuestión ¿Qué modelos existen para el estudio de los vectores en la geometría? Para dar respuesta se realiza un análisis histórico mostrando la razón de ser y la génesis de los vectores en la geometría. Se propone como resultado los tres modelos identificados, es decir el estudio de vectores en la geometría sintética, en la geometría analítica y en el álgebra lineal.

Thinking Through Affective Uncertainty: What Does it Do, and How is it Relevant to Our Contemporary Moment?
Authors: Skogli Nina Helene
Published: February 2024

How is affective uncertainty produced in art and performance? What does it do as a dramaturgical tool and artistic strategy? The text discusses a politically engaged theatre performance, Your Majesties by Navaridas & Deutinger, and the different strategies used to produce
affective uncer tainty and ambivalence in its spectators. This uncertainty can be understood as an unsettlement, and as a tension fraught atti tude that might lead to 'ugly feelings' and suspended agency (Ngai 2005). How do we as spectators navigate our own uncertainties and ambivalence? This
entails attentive lis tening to the voices saturating the complex theme, and to tensions causing our uncer tainties. Such affective conditions, however, might also carry a critical potential—useful for navigating our contemporary moment and its many urgencies. The article will also discuss
how affective uncertainty ties in with the so called affective turn. in contemporary art and theatre. This was prompted by an interest to study its performative qualities, as well as to take a closer look at what the critical potential of spectator experiences of uncertainty might be. As the
title of this essay already shows, this text is guided by the question: What does affective uncertainty do (as a drama turgical and artistic strategy), and how is it relevant to our contemporary moment? To answer this, I will draw on an example from the field of politically engaged contempo
rary theatre.
Alon–Boppana-Type Bounds for Weighted Graphs
Authors: Polyanskii Alexander , Sadykov Rynat
Published: February 2024

The unraveled ball of radius $r$ centered at a vertex $v$ in a weighted graph $G$ is the ball of radius $r$ centered at $v$ in the universal cover of $G$. We present a general bound on the maximum spectral radius of unraveled balls of fixed radius in a weighted graph.

The weighted degree of a vertex in a weighted graph is the sum of weights of edges incident to the vertex. A weighted graph is called regular if the weighted degrees of its vertices are the same. Using the result on unraveled balls, we prove a variation of the Alon–Boppana theorem for regular weighted graphs.
Mechanisch-irritative Effekte durch partikuläre Stäube und Fasern – Praxisbeispiele/Mechanical-irritative effects due to particulate dusts and fibres – practical examples
Authors: Mattenklott Markus , Lamm Nils
Published: February 2024

Neben der inhalativen Gefährdung und der Gefährdung der Haut können partikuläre Stäube und Fasern an Arbeitsplätzen auch sogenannte mechanisch-irritative Effekte auslösen, zum Beispiel Juckreiz, Husten- und Niesreiz, Hautrötungen und Schleimhautreizungen oder Reizungen der Augen. Da das Auftreten und die Intensität der Effekte individuell verschieden ausgeprägt sind, werden diese bei der Gefährdungsbeurteilung nicht immer ausreichend berücksichtigt. Auslöser der Belastungen sind nach bisherigen empirischen Untersuchungen unterschiedliche Arten von Partikeln. Wiederholt beobachtet werden in abgelagerten Stäuben aus den betroffenen Bereichen gröbere scharfkantige Partikel, Mineralwolle-Fasern, Carbon- und Textilglasfasern oder organische Fasern aus Geweben und Zellulosefasern. Hier werden die Probenahme und Analyse der Stäube sowie repräsentative Fallbeispiele aus der Praxis anhand mikroskopischer Aufnahmen typischer Stäube, die offenkundig mechanisch-irritative Effekte auslösen, vorgestellt.
Wie laut sind Motorräder tatsächlich? – Messungen auf dem Rollenprüfstand
Authors: Brandstätt Peter , Teller Pascal
Published: February 2024

Motorradlärm führt seit Jahren zu zahlreichen Beschwerden. Dabei werden verschiedene Maßnahmen zur Reduzierung vorgebracht, wie die Verschärfung von Lärmgrenzwerten, bessere Mess- und Kontrollverfahren bis hin zu Fahrverboten. Für die Zulassung werden die Pegelangaben zum Standgeräusch und zur Vorbeifahrt erfasst. Pegelangaben hinsichtlich der typischen Fahrweise im realen Einsatz sind kaum vorhanden, zumindest unter vergleichbaren Bedingungen, wie sie auf dem Akustikprüfstand herstellbar sind. Ziel des Projektes war daher die Erfassung der Geräuschentwicklung eines Ensembles typischer Fahrzeuge unter verschiedenen Einsatzbedingungen. Bei den Standgeräuschen wurde dabei auch die Schalldruckpegel bei maximaler Drehzahl ermittelt. Bei Konstantfahrten mit unterschiedlicher Geschwindigkeit und bei beschleunigten Fahrten in unterschiedlichen Gängen wurden die zum Teil erheblichen Schalldruckpegel bestimmt. Zur Anwendung kam neben Mikrofonpositionen nach Norm auch ein linienförmiges Mikrofonarray mit dessen Hilfe ein „mitfahrendes“ Mikrofon in konstanter Entfernung zum Fahrzeug realisiert wurde. Bei der Analyse der Stand- und Fahrgeräusche, sowohl in den Zulassungen als auch in den Messungen, konnte keine eindeutige Korrelation beider Größen festgestellt werden. Die Analysen ergaben auch, dass die Fahrweise großen Einfluss auf die Geräuschentwicklung hat.

Not very easy: Towards the unification of scalar implicature and understatement
Authors: Solt Stephanie
Published: February 2024

Modified and unmodified gradable adjectives give rise to two distinct and opposing varieties of pragmatic enrichment: scalar implicature and understatement. While earlier work in pragmatics took these to be complementary inferences derived from opposing conversational principles, more recent work in the formal tradition has placed the focus firmly on scalar implicature and related phenomena, with no attempt to also account for understatement. In this paper I argue that there are good reasons to pursue a unified treatment of the two, and outline one possible way of doing so, framed within the commitment approach to assertion, where I take the commitments that come with asserting a proposition to encompass not only liability for its truth but also acceptance of the social consequences of expressing it. I further discuss how this approach can shed light on recent experimental findings regarding the role of lexical semantics in the pragmatic inferences available to gradable adjectives, as well as a puzzle that these findings pose.
Homogeneity and the illocutionary force of rejection
Authors: Sbardolini Giorgio
Published: February 2024

Homogeneity inferences arise whenever an assertion implies a universal positive (every/both) and its denial implies a universal negative (no/neither). I present an account of homogeneity inferences based on two assumptions which together constrain the behavior of negation: rejection is non-classical, and vacuous models may be omitted (Neglect Zero). If both assumptions are enforced, the only definable negatives are universal (no/neither), predicting the homogeneity gap.
Epidemiology of Soil-Transmitted Helminthiasis Among Pre-School Children in Ijebu-Jesa, Southwest, Nigeria
Authors: Awotokun Femi , Sowemimo Oluyomi Abayomi
Published: February 2024

A cross-sectional study was conducted between January 2012 and June 2013 among children aged 0-60 months attending monthly clinic organized by St. Andrew’s Clinic for Children (STACC) with a view to determining the prevalence and intensity of soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) among pre-school children. The study also identified the associated risk factors for Ascaris lumbricoides infections. Fresh faecal sample were collected from 223 children randomly selected into the labeled sample bottle in addition to a pretested questionnaire to collect demographic information from parents of these children. The faecal samples were homogenized, processed in the laboratory by modified Kato-Katz technique and then examined for Soil-transmitted helminthes eggs using light microscope at a magnification of x100. The data collected were analysed using SPSS statistical software Version 17.0.Of the 223 children examined, 73 (32.7%) were positive for at least one helminth. The prevalences of the helminths eggs were 31.4% for Ascaris lumbricoides, 1.8% for T. trichiura, 0.9% for hookworm and 0.5% for Strongyloides stercoralis. The prevalence and intensity of soil-transmitted helminthes (STHs) increased with age; however, there was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the prevalence of infection between the two sexes. A co-infection of A. lumbricoides was the dominant infection. The lowest prevalence and intensity (15.6%; 31.27 ± 10.83), highest prevalence 58.3% and intensity (1943.33 ± 908.80) occurred in children aged 48-59 months. Multivariate logistic analysis revealed that the pattern of A. lumbricoides infection was strongly influenced by animal ownership.
High Turnover of Male Science Teachers Over Female Science Teachers in Public Secondary Schools in Ekiti State, Nigeria

Published: February 2024

This study sought to investigate the disparity in turnover rates between male and female science teachers in public secondary schools in Ekiti State, Nigeria, and examined differences in their conditions of service. Utilizing an ex-post facto research design, data were collected from 712 science teachers and 112 principals from a selection of 112 schools, drawn from a population of 2,950 science teachers and 205 principals. A specially designed inventory, "Science Teachers Turnover Inventory (STTI)," was employed for data collection. The study found a significant difference in turnover rates between male and female science teachers. The calculated t-value (t-cal) of 5.771 exceeded the critical t-value (t-table) of 1.96 at a 0.05 level of significance, leading to the rejection of the first null hypothesis. However, the analysis revealed no significant difference in the conditions of service for male and female science teachers. The t-cal (1.02) was less than the t-table (1.96) at a 0.05 level of significance, leading to the retention of the null hypothesis. The results indicate a need for policy changes to address the high turnover of male science teachers in Ekiti State's public secondary schools, potentially impacting the quality of science education. Recommendations include encouraging male science teachers through special allowances and funding in-service training programs to improve their retention and professional development.

A Comparison of the Patient Wife in Boccaccio, Petrarch, Chaucer, and Lope
Authors: Jamison Carol , Deaver William
Published: February 2024

Boccaccio, Petrarch, and Chaucer all told versions of the Patient Wife narrative that could be read both literally and metaphorically. Literally, the narrative served as both a lesson in wifely obedience and as a commentary on the patriarchal social order of the Middle Ages. As an allegory, the tale had biblical implications about the necessity of obedience to one’s heavenly ruler. The popularity of this tale lasted well beyond the Middle Ages, making its way into Renaissance dramatic comedies. Some of these Renaissance versions eliminate the metaphorical possibilities of the narrative and mitigate Griselda’s situation by pairing the patient wife motif with a tamed shrew motif. However, in El ejemplo de casadas (The Wives’ Example), Lope de Vega prevents a dramatic version of the tale that does not abandon the metaphorical possibilities of the medieval versions. This essay examines the political and religious implications of Lope’s dramatic version of Patient Griselda. [Article copies available for a fee from The Transformative Studies Institute.
