Published: June 2023

Ulama as epicenters of religious leader in spreading religious teachings in Muslim societies have experienced deauthorization. This study aims to reflect the Muslim societies’ perceptions and responses on the Ulama policies in countering Covid-19 in Indonesia. This study uses observation, interviews, and literature review as data sources. This study presents a theoretical perspective on the deauthorization of the Ulama role in Indonesia in handling Covid-19. This study found three socioreligious aspects. Firstly, less public’s knowledge and understanding of Covid-19 socialization confirms multiple interpretations at the grass road level. Secondly, the socialization of the Ulama policies has not been carried out effectively, as seen in several cases, such as the rejection of the mosque closure and the prohibition of other religious activities, due to the lack of public knowledge about this epidemic. Thirdly, government policies on Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) which are totally supported by the MUI (Indonesian Ulama Council) as the representation of Indonesian Muslim scholar have not been able to suppress the Muslim societies’ enthusiasm in the practice of religious activities. It indeed demonstrates Ulama’s deauthorization in countering Covid-19 pandemic for Muslim societies in Indonesia.

Published: June 2023

When death is coming for sure, the terminally ill patients will be in sorrow. For them who do not have hope of being medically cured, do having joy and feeling serene become a possibility? Can they be healed at some point? This research aims to describe the existential experiences of the terminally illness patients’ family receiving a pastoral care. While the patients deteriorate because of illness, what type and kind of care they found most helpful? This research was a qualitative study with a phenomenology method. This paper is part of a bigger case study conducted in a Catholic hospital in Indonesia. The subjects for this research were the families of terminally ill patients. They were interviewed whether they have received pastoral care and the significance of it. The presence of pastoral care staffs and their visits were significant for the families and the patients. They feel strengthened in facing this difficult times. In particular, the spirit of the patients uplifted, they no longer feel angry with their condition and are in process of accepting the death coming their way. They found prayers as powerful resources. All the participants agreed that the pastoral care is important part for the patients’ healing. Catholic hospitals in Indonesia should be aware to provide a holistic healing. Pastoral care is one of key factors to maintain the spirit of institutions. It is the way to humanize the patients and families in their end-of-life care.
Informally Self-Employed in Russia: Attitude to Formalization (On the Example of Saint Petersburg)
Authors: Tarando E.E. , Malinina T.B. , Nikiforova O.A. , Sereda V.M. , Pruel N.A.
Published: June 2023

The paper examines the attitude to the formalization of informally self-employed in Russia on the example of the city of St. Petersburg. The authors proceeded from the position that this social group is heterogeneous, and different characteristics of representatives of this social group affect the attitude to the formalization of their economic activity. The negative attitude to formalization of representatives of this social group was revealed on the surface. However, this negative attitude among different subgroups of informally employed people turned out to be different. The results of the study show that different age groups of informally self-employed people react differently to government initiatives regarding registration of such activities. The presence or absence of social status in the sphere of formal employment, which many self-employed people combine with informal economic activity, proved to be a significant social characteristic in forming the attitude of the informally self-employed to formalization. Thus, the great value has stability of the institutional framework of formal self-employment generated by the state, and the state’s determination to follow its promises given to informally self-employed, so that this social group formalized its economic activity. It was found that a fairly large proportion of the informally self-employed took up a waiting attitude towards the state’s initiatives to formalize the economic activities of this social group. This paper will be useful for representatives of Russian state authorities who are developing measures of socio-economic policy in relation to informally self-employed citizens.
Attempts of Forcing Oil Production on the Eve of the Great Patriotic War
Authors: Bodrova Elena V. , Kalinov Vyacheslav V. , Krasivskaya Valeria N.
Published: June 2023

In this study, the problem of attempts to reorganize the USSR's oil industry on the eve of the Great Patriotic War and speed up oil production and oil refining to ensure industrialization and defense plans are investigated. The conclusion is formulated that the plans were not fully supported by financial, human, and technological resources. The reasons for the failure to fulfill the plans were strategic miscalculations, ignoring the recommendations of leading scientists and the repression against a significant number of brilliant oil specialists who restored industry in the 1920s, reconstructing it and ensuring the flow of currency through the expansion of oil exports. The measures taken on the eve of the war to reorganize the management of the oil industry, its technical re-equipment, and intensification of oil production yielded specific results. But the growth rate of production was also hindered by insufficient exploration of areas and their unpreparedness for exploitation. Before the war, Azerbaijan remained the main oil base of the USSR. The development of “Second Baku” was unacceptably slow.

Published: June 2023

The paper analyzed the problem of accessibility of content in other languages, it was found that many content may not be translated into the native language of users who want to access it, but at the same time there are many who want to help other users with this problem. The solution is a special information system that allows you to easily register and create your own translation, in which other users can participate, or join another already created one and help. As a result, the interested user can easily download the translation result and use it at his own discretion. The analysis of business processes for the creation and translation of the text was carried out. Based on this analysis, requirements for a future solution were developed. Business requirements were also identified. Among other things, a system use case model was developed and use case specifications were described. Lists with functional and non-functional requirements have also been developed. The functional model of the system was shown - algorithms: authorization, registration, password recovery, creating a new translation, generating a file with a new translation, generating a list of translations, managing users, viewing a translation, editing a translation text, checking the correctness of a translation, and moderating translations. A class diagram was developed, where you can see the main entities of the system and their relationships. A sequence diagram was also developed. The architecture of the information system was described. The system was implemented using the React.JS library and the Spring framework. The main processes of the system users were also described.
Infinitive Forms and Conditional Mood of Verbs as a Means of Expressing a Concretizing Relation
Authors: Sagdieva Ramilya Kamilovna , Husnutdinov Damir Haydarovich , Mirzagitov Ramil Hamitovich , Abikenova Gulnat Tokenovna
Published: June 2023

A concretizing link is an expression of a specific relationship between concepts using a unique means of relation. Given that, affixes and forms of verbs have a particular place. This article considers the conditions of the infinitive (-ырга/-ергә/-рга) and the conditional mood of the verb (-са/-сә). These affixes in Tatar grammars as part of a subordinate predicate clause are inflectional forms, that is, linking words. The authors study these verb forms to express a concretizing relation and analyze the shades of meanings. A more profound analysis shows that these affixes express different relations between phenomena and connect the verb with other words. They are added to all the verbs and some parts of speech when in speaking. It must be said that the affixes of the conditional mood and, to some extent, the infinitive perform the same functions for the verb as the cases do for the noun. The primary research method is descriptive-analytical with its main components: observation, generalization, and interpretation. For a detailed analysis of the linguistic features of speech, a comparative historical method is also used, which allows for the determination of some tendencies in the development of the grammatical system of the national literary language. In the studies, comparative-typological and statistical methods are also applied.
Features of Social Entrepreneurship Development in Primorsky Territory

Published: June 2023

Currently, the sphere of social entrepreneurship has low popularity among business representatives. Current trends are being actively discussed at the level of government bodies; however, the existing financial support and the low level of impact of state regulation instruments do not allow revealing the potential of social enterprise fully. Undoubtedly, social entrepreneurship is a relatively new phenomenon for Russia and has a number of features, conditioned, on the one hand, by the specifics of the national economy, and by the prevailing social relations on the other. The primary purpose of the study is to investigate features of social entrepreneurship development in Primorsky territory.
Philosophy as Creativity
Authors: Tereschenko Natalia Anatolievna
Published: June 2023

The main aim of the study is to analyze the phenomenon of creativity, which has traditionally been the subject of philosophical investigation. Moreover, the phenomenon of philosophy itself as a creative process often remained in the shadow of general problems. By tacit agreement the creative nature of philosophy was recognized as obvious, and therefore, as a subject of philosophizing, it was often simply left out of the picture. However, again and again, the thesis about the “death of philosophy” makes the question of its creative nature more than relevant. If the creative potential of philosophy has been exhausted, perhaps it is really dying as a special form of thought in culture. If creativity in philosophy is possible, then its cultural prospects become more optimistic, or cultural elimination of philosophy is associated not only (or not so much) with its creative capacity. Creativity became the object of theorization in the Renaissance and Modernity, when man was initially thought of as its subject. Therefore, the very understanding of creativity bears the mark of Modern thinking. However, the "post-" situation forces us to return to the analysis of the problem and consider it in terms of the impossibility of the new. The problem can and should also be considered on the material of Russian philosophical thought, whose status has always been ambiguous, primarily for Russian philosophy itself. Today, the position of Russian philosophy is becoming even more problematic due to the problematization of philosophy as a particular discourse that claims to be universal, on the one hand, and the specifics of Russian theoretical thought labeled as "responsive", its empathicity – on the other.
Economic Analysis Positioning of Risks at the Stages of Company Development

Published: June 2023

The purpose of the article is economic analysis and compare the organization's risks to the stages of the life cycle according to I. K. Adizes. This paper uses risk classifications of V. S. Romanov and Microsoft. Based on the description of each stage of the organization's development, an attempt is made to systematize risks at each stage of the company's life cycle according to the model of Yitzhak Adizes. In addition, risk maps have been drawn up for the company's development stages. The authors of the article argue the need for this research by the fact that at the moment risk management in companies occurs without taking into account the life cycle, respectively, those groups of risks that are characteristic of the stage of development of the company are overlooked. This is why life-cycle risk management is necessary: companies will have a list of risks that are specific to the stage of development of the organization.

Authors: Bolonina E.V. , Khafizova A.R. , Nasyrova V. I
Published: June 2023

This article analyzes Russian and international experience in approaches to taxation of self-employed individuals and their impact on the legalization of activities based on modern economic conditions. The purpose of the study is to conduct a comparative characteristic of the criteria for determining self-employed persons and various forms of their taxation in Russia and abroad at the present stage. The special tax regime for the self-employed in Russia has been in effect since 2019 and is one of the youngest in the tax system, so the analysis of foreign experience in the taxation of self-employed persons is of particular practical interest. The authors analyze global statistics on the number of self-employed persons and identify trends in their changes not only in the Russian Federation, but also in some foreign countries, especially in the light of the development of digital technologies and the emergence of new opportunities for independent activity by individuals. The research made it possible to draw intermediate conclusions for Russia at this stage of the new regime implementation: whether modern tax regimes stimulate the development of self-employment, how optimal these regimes are for legalizing citizens ' income, and what trends of foreign countries in the field of self-employed taxation may be relevant for modern Russia.

Management of the Hatred of Schooling by Public Secondary School Pupils
Authors: Solomon Modiba Ngwako
Published: June 2023

This paper evaluates the cause of enmity and animosity displayed by pupils to their teachers through their hatred of schooling in myriad public educational institutions in South Africa. The paper was motivated by diverse discourses about pupil-animosity, most of which were based on the perspective of parents as members of the society. This paper is conceptual and empirical within the qualitative research paradigm. The question guiding this paper is: to what extent is the suppression of learner-desires and choices contribute to the snubbing of schooling? Narrative enquiry and interviewing techniques were used to collect data. Out of the population of 14 secondary schools in one of the circuits in Capricorn district in Limpopo Province, 6 were conveniently sampled. In each of the 6 sampled secondary schools, only Deputy Chairpersons of the School Governing Bodies became research participants. Findings revealed that hatred of schooling could be ascribed to pupils viewing schooling as an inconvenience. Secondly, failing to teach according to learners’ preferred teaching strategies. Thirdly, content delivery to pupils being alien. Fourthly, schooling that obstructs learner-hedonism. Fifthly, schooling that is naturally highly regimented. Lastly, schooling that suppresses learner-voice. The researcher recommends for schooling to close the generational gap between pupils and teachers. Furthermore, future schooling has to be conducted through virtual classrooms other than the tiresome face to face contact.

Published: June 2023

The nature of the cultural policy of the Siberian Tatars and its connection with the value world is described for the first time. This material singles out and describes three levels in the development of the anthroponymys value world in the national cultural policy (ancient, middle-aged, and new Turkic). The authors used comparative methods (investigation of archives) and empirical methods, namely, the generalization of the great human experience, which is formed at the levels of cultural policy forming (ancient, middle-aged, and new Turkic). According to the level of religiousness of the ancient Turks, the system of ideas, which is reflected in the needs and desires due to naive mental activity, the authors singled out the ancient model of constructing their cultural policy or the first ancient level of values in the cultural policy of the Siberian Tatars. The anthroponyms system of the Siberian Tatars is an axiological worldview observing objective and subjective evaluative attitudes. The subject in the cultural policy becomes familiar with the value world of name-giving, the system of ideas or ideology appears, which is transformed into a certain stage of development. Cultural policy in the ancient period was created but it is changed in the modern world. The novelty of the study is in the fact that the object category was studied in the cultural policy of Siberian Tatars indefinitely. Our investigation showed interrelation between human being and his experience (object and subject). Our motivation to study the value world of the cultural policy of the Siberian Tatars is supported by the idea that harmony and peace between cultures is possible only in the way of value world and its priorities understanding. New research results complement theoretical generalizations, open up new conceptual opportunities in solving national problems, and make it possible to formulate new strategic goals in our multinational state. They can improve the implementation of cultural policy by social society in goal setting and identification of national cultural values and priorities in the creation on their basis of targeted programs and expenses.

Published: June 2023

Challenges of development facing society and states require efforts consolidation, in the research field in particular. Therefore, to organize international cooperation and to conduct basic and applied research, mega-science infrastructures are being created and implemented all over the world. Currently, research facilities of the mega-science class are being created in the Russian Federation. They play an important role in the development of science and the innovation process. The competitiveness of Russian science is a determining factor for ensuring the safety and technological independence of Russia. Therefore, the Federal program for the development of Synchrotron and Neutron research and research infrastructure for 2019-2027 was approved in March 2020.
In the present article, the concept of the socio-economic impact of the operation of large-scale research infrastructure is revealed. The authors refer to the materials on the socio-economic impact analysis, which was based on the data on the Swedish neutron source (European Spallation Source). The article provides a generalized idea of the main indicators for assessing the potential of the research infrastructure as well as their application to characterize the research facilities in the Russian Federation. It is worth highlighting that each large research facility is unique and it is not possible to unify the analysis of the socio-economic impact. However, the obtained results can be used for a similar analysis of research infrastructures, based on the same physical principles and created to solve general scientific problems.
”Ja, jeg kan li’ det land, jeg bor i – trods alle mangler”
Authors: Marstal Henrik
Published: June 2023

”Despite its deficiencies, I like the country I live in”: The Advent of ”Denmark-Songs” and the Breakaway from National Songs as a Discursive Phenomenon

This article identifies and explores a trend in Danish popular music as well as communal singing which arose during the early 1970’s as an antidote to the long-established national songs and songs about the nation. The trend revealed a rather new way of thematizing national identification matters in which a critical attitude towards the country was explicit, although the songs always reflected a deep devotion as well. In this way, the songs in question established a counter-narrative to the national songs which was apparent from the early 1970’s to the mid-1980’s, but was resumed again in the early 2000’s.

By analyzing three distinct ”Denmark songs” by, respectively, No Name (”Fødelandssang”, 1972), Trille (”Danmark”, 1979) and Gnags (”Danmark”, 1986), the article points to three different ways in which such critical yet loving attitudes could be implemented. It is argued that this counter-narrative, which focused on elements of discontinuity, was a function of a self-conscious and critical folk and rock movement during the 1970’s and 1980’s in which the distancing involved was a result of the breakdown of the ”great” narratives of Denmark as a unified nation, fueled by the heated debate prior to the country’s incorporation into the EU in 1973.
Diagnosis and application of rice diseases based on deep learning
Authors: Li Ke , Li Xiao , Liu Bingkai , Ge Chengxin , Zhang Youhua , Chen Li
Published: June 2023

Background

Rice disease can significantly reduce yields, so monitoring and identifying the diseases during the growing season is crucial. Some current studies are based on images with simple backgrounds, while realistic scene settings are full of background noise, making this task challenging. Traditional artificial prevention and control methods not only have heavy workload, low efficiency, but are also haphazard, unable to achieve real-time monitoring, which seriously limits the development of modern agriculture. Therefore, using target detection algorithm to identify rice diseases is an important research direction in the agricultural field.

Methods

In this article a total of 7,220 pictures of rice diseases taken in Jinzhai County, Lu’an City, Anhui Province were chosen as the research object, including rice leaf blast, bacterial blight and flax leaf spot. We propose a rice disease identification method based on the improved YOLOV5s, which reduces the computation of the backbone network, reduces the weight file of the model to 3.2MB, which is about 1/4 of the original model, and accelerates the prediction speed by three times.

Results

Compared with other mainstream methods, our method achieves better performance with low computational cost. It solves the problem of slow recognition speed due to the large weight file and calculation amount of model when the model is deployed in mobile terminal.

Published: June 2023

A apicultura tem uma relevância considerável na conjuntura socioeconômica mundial e pertence a um grupo de atividades que atendem às premissas do tripé da sustentabilidade, sendo o mel o principal produto desta atividade. A produção brasileira de mel cresceu com as exportações, entrando em um novo patamar no ano de 2000, com a entrada no mercado mundial. Com a alta demanda internacional e preços de venda estimulantes, a maior parte do mel natural brasileiro foi exportado, além disso, o grande potencial produtivo e a diversidade climática apontam uma curva ascendente para o país quanto às exportações deste produto. Entretanto, mesmo com as vantagens mencionadas, a apicultura brasileira com ênfase na produção de mel tem potencialidades ainda pouco exploradas, além de diversos desafios para manter-se no mercado internacional. Assim, através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental este trabalho explora o cenário brasileiro da produção e comercialização internacional de mel, a partir dos fatores que influenciam sua curva de crescimento (como parâmetros da legislação, acordos entre países, fatores ambientais etc.), bem como a projeção do potencial que a apicultura brasileira possui em relação às perspectivas de produção e mercado internacional.

Published: June 2023

Climate change brought on by global warming affects agricultural production, notably rice crops, and results in harsh weather. Because it is becoming harder to utilize the area of paddy fields, one effort that can be made to boost the national food supply is by improving and expanding the upland rice farming area. This study aimed to analyze and ascertain the upland rice lines in the area's production potential. The study was carried out on agricultural land in Tamarenja Village (Kalama backwoods), Central Sulawesi Province, about 200 meters above sea level, with latitudes of 00o26'51.5" South Latitude and 119o49'50.6" East Longitude. They began in August 2022 and continued through February 2023. Fifteen strains or varieties of upland rice were used in the study's Randomized Block Design (RBD), which was repeated three times to create 45 trial plots. These strains or varieties included Untad I, Untad II, Untad III, Untad V, Uva Buya, Kalendeng, Pulu Tau Leru, Jahara, Buncaili, Delima, Dongan, Konta Island, Tako, and Situ Bagendit. Plant height, leaf length, tiller number, productive tiller number, panicle length, number of grains/panicles, harvest age, the weight of 1000 grains, and production were among the variables recorded. The findings demonstrated that the Tako, Dongan, Pulu Tau Leru, Uva Buya, and Kalendeng strains produced better yields compared to the control variety.

Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between knowledge of diarrhea, hand washing behavior, toilet use behavior and the incidence of diarrhea in children under five years old.

Study Design: A case control study.

Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in October 2022 at area of the Johan Pahlawan Community Health Center, Aceh Barat District, Aceh Province-Indonesia.

Methodology: The sample size was 92, with 46 cases and 46 controls. The subjects of the case and control groups are mothers with children under five years old. SPSS version 20 was utilized to conduct statistical analysis on both univariate and bivariate data, with the chi-square test being employed to address the hypothesis.

Results: The results showed that both the case and control groups had more children aged ≤2 years. Mothers in the case group were found to have a higher proportion with poor knowledge level (66.2%), poor hand washing behavior (54.3%), and poor toilet use behavior (67.4%) compared to the mothers in the control group. Statistical tests proved that there was a significant relationship between maternal knowledge (p=0.022), hand washing behavior (p=0.020), and toilet use behavior (p=0.001) with the incidence of diarrhea in children under five years old.

Conclusion: Efforts are needed to improve the knowledge and skills of mothers in preventing and managing diarrhea through education by health professionals.
Emergence of Third Generation Tetracyclines: New Magic Bullets to Tackle Antibiotic Resistance in the Post-antibiotic Era
Authors: Jetty Pranitha , Gaddam Soni , Padi Satyanarayana S. V.
Published: June 2023

Tetracyclines are broad-spectrum antibiotics effective against a wide variety of microorganisms including bacteria, both Gram-positive and Gram-negative, mycoplasmas, rickettsiae, chlamydiae, and protozoan parasites. Owing to their broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities and inexpensiveness, tetracyclines have been used extensively in both human and animal infections and in animal feed as growth promoters. Owing to this, the global prevalence of antibiotic resistance, particularly of tetracyclines, for Gram-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Streptococcus pneumoniae and Gram-negative extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species is high. Indeed, the acquisition of tetracycline-specific resistance genes, mutations within the ribosomal binding site, and/or chromosomal mutations lead to both class-specific and intrinsic antimicrobial resistance (AMR) mechanisms. As drug resistance increases globally, rendering diseases difficult to manage and eventually to mortality, antibiotics are becoming progressively less effective. Therefore, the discovery and development of novel antibiotics with appropriate indications is of the utmost importance. Among all antibiotics, the tetracyclines have acquired much attention due to the optimization of their chemical structures that paved the way to develop and introduce modern tetracyclines, referred to as third generation, namely tigecycline in the recent past, followed by omadacycline, eravacycline, and sarecycline very recently. Intriguingly, these novel tetracyclines are unique in two ways, first, these are highly effective against pathogens that acquired tetracycline-class resistance, and second, these agents exhibit either narrow or broad spectrum of in vitro activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative, anaerobic, and atypical pathogens, including many drug-resistant strains lead to approval for limited use and unique indications. These beneficial effects represent a new era in the rational use of newer tetracyclines, the new magic bullets to tackle AMR in the post-antibiotic era. The present review focuses on third-generation tetracyclines emphasizing their safety, efficacy, and therapeutic choices in various clinical conditions of in-patient and out-patient settings.

Authors: Muhammad Maryam I. , Emmanuel James , Bashir Mohammed Idris , Ahmed Abubakar Ahmed
Published: June 2023

This paper examines the moderating effect of financial performance on the relationship between board dynamism and dividend payout of listed healthcare companies in Nigeria. Data were collected from the annual reports and accounts of 10 healthcare companies listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group over a period of 2011 to 2021. Ex post facto research design was employed and secondary data was sourced through annual reports of listed health care companies. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were employed to analyse the data using panel regression technique. The results show that board gender has a significant negative effect on dividend payout prior to moderation. Results however, changed to a significant positive effect when moderated with financial performance. Specifically, gender diversity, board qualification and board nationality have significant positive effects on dividend payout. In addition, financial performance significantly moderates the relationship between gender diversity and dividend payout. Impliedly, health care companies with more female directors perform better and tend to pay more dividends, Based on the findings of the study, there should be a policy decision of Nigerian healthcare firms that will give female directors a quota on the board of directors to be composed of women directors who have more corporate experience. The regulators should also encourage boards of Nigerian healthcare firms to consist of a more diverse board to positively foster performance, thus improving dividend payout. Managers of the Nigerian healthcare firms should ensure that more foreign directors are appointed to serve on their board to achieve a more favorable dividend policy. This can be achieved through direct foreign investment in the Nigerian healthcare companies.

It is aimed to compare the content of mother tongue curriculums at secondary school level in Alberta, Korea and Singapore. When we look at curriculum in general, it has been determined that the learning outcomes of 21st century skills in all of the programs are close to equitable distribution in grades. Among the 21st century skills, learning and innovation skills were found to be the skill most associated with learning outcomes for Korea Secondary School Mother Tongue Curriculum, Singapore Secondary School Mother Tongue Curriculum and Turkish Language Curriculum. It is understood that the skills based on learning to learn, problem solving, associating knowledge with previous learning, critical and creative thinking comes to the fore in the learning outcomes, and it is aimed to educate individuals in this direction. It is understood that the learning outcomes related to flexibility and adaptation skills under life and career skills are not included in all programs. In addition, the lack of learning outcomes in initiative and self-direction, productivity and accountability skills in Alberta Secondary School Mother Tongue Curriculum and Singapore Secondary School Mother Tongue Curriculum shows that life and career skills, which are among the 21st century skills, are neglected in these programs.

Importance

Emoji and emoticons are quickly becoming an omnipresent feature of virtual communication. As health care systems increasingly adopt clinical texting applications, it is critical to understand how clinicians use these ideograms with colleagues and how it may affect their interactions.

Objective

To evaluate the functions that emoji and emoticons serve in clinical text messages.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This qualitative study’s content analysis of clinical text messages from a secure clinical messaging platform was conducted to assess the communicative function of emoji and emoticons. The analysis included messages sent by hospitalists to other health care clinicians. A subset of a random 1% sample of all message threads, which included at least 1 emoji or emoticon, on a clinical texting system used by a large, Midwestern US hospital from July 2020 until March 2021 were analyzed. A total of 80 hospitalists participated in the candidate threads.

Main Outcomes

Whether and what kind of emoji or emoticon was deployed in each reviewed thread was tabulated by the study team. The communicative function of each emoji and emoticon was assessed according to a prespecified coding scheme.

Results

A total of 80 hospitalists (49 [61%] male; 30 [37%] Asian, 5 [6%] Black or African American, 2 [3%] Hispanic or Latinx, 42 [53%] White; of 41 with age data, 13 [32%] aged 25-34 years, 19 [46%] aged 35-44 years) participated in the 1319 candidate threads. Within the sample of 1319 threads, 7% of threads (155 unique messages) contained at least 1 emoji or emoticon. The majority (94 [61%]) functioned emotively, that is, conveyed the internal state of the sender, and 49 (32%) served to open, maintain, or close communication. No evidence was identified that they caused confusion or were seen as inappropriate.

Conclusions and Relevance

This qualitative study found that when clinicians use emoji and emoticons in secure clinical texting systems, these symbols function primarily to convey new and interactionally salient information. These results suggest that concerns about the professionalism of emoji and emoticon use may be unwarranted.

Guest‐friendship was a prominent and consistent feature in ancient Greek, Hellenistic, and Roman cultures and beyond. By definition,
xenía
(
xení
ē,
xeiníē
) and
hospitium
describe firmly established interpersonal bonds between individuals of different communities. Guest‐friendship provided the basis for relationships between individuals across communal, political, and geographical boundaries and remained fundamental to individual travel, the exchange of goods, ideas, and news as well as interstate relations (Herman 1987; Mitchell 1997). As “ritualized friendships” (Herman 1987), these ties were defined by a notion of permanence, reciprocity, and mutual obligation.
Hattic language
Authors: Goedegebuure Petra
Published: June 2023

Hattic was spoken by the pre‐Hittite population of Central Anatolia of the late third to mid‐second millennium
bce.
Never recorded in writing by its native speakers, it was only preserved by the Hittites for cultic purposes. With the help of a few bilingual texts, the language has been only partially deciphered and many questions of lexicon and grammar remain. Both its syntactic alignment and its genetic affiliation are under debate: Hattic is classified as accusative, ergative, active, or combinations thereof, and it is considered an isolate, Northwest Caucasian, or a branch of Sino‐Caucasian.
