Embodying emotions in heterosexual relationships: A participant-researcher’s reflections on doing memory work with a group of feminist women
Authors: Del Busso Lilliana
Published: February 2024

This short piece offers some of my reflections on my experience of being a participant-researcher conducting memory work with a group of feminist women about our experiences of embodying emotions in interactions with male sexual partners. The study explored here is part of a larger research project on young women’s experiences of being embodied in everyday life, and focused on women’s memories of embodying anger and excitement. It is suggested here that memory work can be emotionally strenuous and requires the researcher to be aware of and manage the memory work sessions in terms of the emotional content and consequences produced. Furthermore, exploring memories of embodied experience, as opposed to talking about emotions, has the capacity to bring complexity and ambiguity to the fore and destabilise otherwise well rehearsed and discoursed feminist ‘identities’. The memory work method offers a way of obtaining accounts of embodying emotion which are grounded in women’s experiences, and particularly allows for a consideration of the complex, contradictory and multiple ways in which women experience their embodiment.
Assimilation or invisibility: Lesbian identity, representation and the use of gender-neutral terms
Authors: Swenson Rebecca
Published: February 2024

This paper examines what currency the term ‘lesbian.’ has in a con.lemporary cultural context, and how the use of different terms, and their perceived meanings, impact on the sense of self of women who define as lesbian.. It also explores whether assimilation through the use of gender-neutral terms, such as ‘gay ‘, ‘homosexual’ and ‘queer’, represents an inclusion of lesbian identity with gay male identity, or whether it signifies a ‘non-seeing’ of lesbian identity.

A mixed methodological approach was used; semi-structured interviews were conducted with six women who defined as having a same-sex attraction, alongside a content analysis ofThe GuardianandThe Timesover a 12-week period to explore representation of lesbians and the use of gender-neutral terms. An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis approach was used to analyse the interviews. Across the two newspapers, there were 23 per cent explicit references to lesbians, 31 per cent to gay men and 46 per cent gender-neutral references. However, a closer examination of the articles revealed that 41 per cent of the gender-neutral terms referred solely to men. The five master themes revealed a complex negotiation and policing of the term ‘lesbian’ and that while genderneutral terms can represent a way for lesbians to assimilate into heteronormative environments, they can render lesbian, specificity invisible.

Whilst gender-neutral terms such as ‘queer’ and ‘gay’ can deflect focus from the stereotypes and sexualisation of lesbian identity, it is vital that consideration should be given to what the consequences are for lesbian, representation and visibility and whether there is a need for strategic essentialism of lesbianism to ensure political efficacy.
How is this feminist again? Q as a feminist methodology
Authors: Roper Sandra , Capdevila Rose , Lazard Lisa , Roberts Anca
Published: February 2024

In this paper we consider what it is that makes research feminist and relate this to Q methodology. Whilst acknowledging the multiplicity of feminist thought and approaches, we suggest that Q is an epistemologically versatile technique that can be usefully interwoven with diverse feminist concerns. We discuss four features of Q which we argue fit particularly comfortably into a broad feminist agenda: (1) the engagement with marginality; (2) the process of interpretation; (3) the role of reflexivity; and (4) accessibility for novice researchers. We conclude that Q methodology, with its interest in and sensitivity to difference in perspectives, experiences and social realities, is compatible with feminist ideals and is an appropriate tool for producing psychological knowledge which can be used in the service of feminist principles.

Helicobacter pylori, a gram-negative bacterium, is a group I carcinogen which is responsible for duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer, and gastric cancer. The existing treatment is based on the use of proton pump inhibitors, but is inadequate owing to factors such as low concentration of drug reaching the target site, short residence time, and resistance to activity. Intending to mitigate these limitations, bioadhesive pellets of tinidazole and pantoprazole sodium sesquihydrate for the management of H. pylori infection were developed. Tinidazole-loaded pellets will act on gastric mucosa and pantoprazole-loaded pellets will release the drug in the intestine. Readily dispersible bioadhesive pellets were formulated by extrusion spheronization using Noveon® AA and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) as the matrix-forming polymers and microcrystalline cellulose as the core-forming agent. The size of placebo pellets was 1.192±0.017mm. Pantoprazole pellets were coated with Eudragit® S100 to achieve sustained drug release in the intestine. In vitro release studies of pellets showed that 98.331±0.456% and 99.438±0.465% of tinidazole and pantoprazole, respectively were released by the end of 8 h. Ex vivo mucoadhesion study on the gastric mucosa of goat demonstrated a mucoadhesive force of 2.3544±0.02 N. The study thus indicates that the developed formulation sustains the release of tinidazole as well as pantoprazole sodium and could prove to be efficacious and promising for H. pylori eradication at lower doses, reduced adverse effects, and enhanced bioavailability.
Experiência de desapego queer
Authors: Sardá-Vieira Marcos
Published: February 2024

Neste artigo analisam-se os meandros da arquitetura enquanto dispositivo voltado aos prazeres sexuais em áreas cruising de Berlim, tendo como base a relação de desapego queer. Através de metodologia cartográfica e método fenomenológico, a intenção é compreender como corpos masculinos e desejos homossexuais são induzidos por dispositivos espaciais, objetos e efeitos de luzes/imagens, ao mesmo tempo em que tais corpos e suas performatividades também alteram as maneiras como a espacialidade pode ser concebida e adaptada. Assim, ao romper com convenções arquitetônicas diante de experiências dissidentes da heteronormatividade, destaca-se a ambiência de desapego para o desempenho de práticas sexuais não autorizadas no espaço público ou mesmo pela convenção arquitetônica, em troca da exploração consentida desses corpos e desejos pelos estabelecimentos comerciais. Tal interação de confinamento em quartos escuros (e verdades ocultas) reforça o fator de atração de outros corpos consumidores, submetidos ao suposto controle e disciplina de comportamentos e desejos sexuais associados à subcultura gay e ao regime farmacopornográfico, tendo como subterfúgio a estética disruptiva do corpo quando associado à arquitetura.

Authors: Li Jinheng , Lin Yilin , Ren JiaXuan
Published: February 2024

In light of the rapid progression of digital technology, fierce competition, and the ever-shifting demands of consumers, the contemporary retail sector is continually evolving. This underscores the critical need to embrace digital solutions. This study seeks to aid Walmart, one of the world's largest retailers, in improving supply chain efficiency, optimizing inventory management, and enhancing the overall customer experience by creating a comprehensive supply chain database. Specifically, we employ the core entity method to identify Walmart's key entity, which is the "product," and ascertain its associated entities. Subsequently, we establish relational models based on the attributes and relationships of each table, considering real-world scenarios, such as one-to-many and many-to-many relationships. We employ normalization techniques to ensure the proper utilization of functional dependencies and candidate keys for each entity. This guarantees that the designed tables adhere to the principles of the First, Second, and Third Normal Forms, preserving data integrity while minimizing redundancy. Furthermore, we create a set of logical database commands, illustrated through flowcharts, and rigorously test their functionality and efficiency. Lastly, we explore potential directions for future research. The successful implementation of this design relies on robust data management practices and a reliable database system tailored to meet Walmart's specific needs. This results in a logically structured and standardized supply chain database. The research findings underscore the vital importance of a well-conceived supply chain database in addressing the challenges faced by large-scale retail operations like Walmart supermarkets.

Authors: Guo Yanchen
Published: February 2024

The "Letter of Credit" is a fundamental payment mechanism in global trade, and its efficiency has significantly declined due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This document delves deeply into the development and execution of a comprehensive database for managing Letters of Credit (L/Cs). It is designed with a real-world case study derived from the International Settlement Department of the Bank of China. The central goal of this database is to enhance the efficient management and simplification of the complex procedures inherent in L/C transactions. The development process follows a systematic approach, commencing with the establishment of three fundamental assumptions to delineate the scope of the study. Subsequently, the database design progresses through stages involving Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) development, relational model construction, and normalization procedures. These steps collectively culminate in the creation of an intelligently structured database comprising thirteen distinct tables. In conclusion, this paper not only delves into the design and implementation of the L/C database but also showcases its practicality through real-world scenarios. The database, fueled by meticulous design and thoughtful implementation, is poised to revolutionize the management of L/C operations, offering enhanced efficiency and accuracy in international trade transactions.

Should machine learning be applied in credit risk accessment
Authors: Zhu Yuejia , Zhu Jiayi , Ding Jiaoyuan , Li Ziyan
Published: February 2024

In the past, analysts evaluated whether to offer loans to particular applicants using rule-based approaches. However, due to the sudden rise in applicants and a labor shortage, financial institutions have created quantitative methods of decision-making. Credit scoring models are constructed. In this essay, random forest model, support vector machine regression model and Probit model are performed and compared according to the dataset from a major U.S. credit cards company. The result demonstrates that while machine learning techniques can improve the efficiency and accuracy of credit risk assessment, it does face some problems and limitations. Random forest model is capable of handling high-dimensional data and is not complicated to run. However, database with fewer features or samples will have lower classification accuracy. Support vector machine regression model has high accuracy and prevents overfitting to some degree. It is sensitive to the choice of kernel parameters and regularization term. By testing how important Mill Ratio is, the Probit model produces more accurate results. However, the model is more complex than the other two. In future research, we propose to enhance and extend our work by using more artificial intelligence algorithms and evaluation metrics.

Authors: ALAKI Ahlam
Published: February 2024

RajāʾʿĀlim, a distinguished Saudi Arabian author, is often noted for her overtly complex and densely layered use of intertextual references, which renders her writing convoluted and intricate. However, this research argues that despite these criticisms, her intertextual approach ultimately enriches the literary experience, highlighting her significant impact on Saudi and Arabic literature through the lens of intertextuality.The study explores ʿĀlim's intertextual approach in various genres (novels, short stories, and drama), seamlessly integrating aesthetic and political elements for a captivating and intellectually stimulating reading experience. Through analyzing literary, religious, historical, and mythical references, the research reveals the profound implications of her intertextuality.The findings demonstrate that intertextuality serves as a powerful tool, expanding the scope of her texts and transcending boundaries, thus placing her work within a larger universal context. It fosters familiarity and connection with established texts, prompting readers to adopt innovative reading approaches that challenge the notion of self-contained literary works. This cultivates a diverse cultural discourse, bridging her work to a timeless and borderless literary heritage, and giving rise to fresh perspectives or commentaries on the role of literature within society, actively participating in pivotal contemporary discussions.
Sustainable Green Future from a Multimodal Positive Discourse Analysis Perspective: Investigating Environmental Metaphors in Some Selected Cartoons
Authors: El-Masry Menna Mohamed Salama
Published: February 2024

A substantial body of research pertaining to ecological issues has significantly centered its attention on laying out the deleterious, harmful and destructive consequences stemming from human actions upon the environment. This emphasis often revolves around negative metaphors that evoke fear, threats, and danger, leaving the positive aspects of green and sustainable future relatively unexplored. This paper adopts a Multimodal Positive Discourse Analysis (MPDA) approach to scrutinize visual socio-cognitive metaphors presented in 11 environmental cartoons disseminated by the Indian Council of Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) on diverse ecological issues. The study aligns with Forceivelle's (1996 & 2009) theory of multimodal metaphor and Hart's (2008) model of critical metaphor analysis in the light of Martin's (2004) Positive Discourse Analysis (PDA) theoretical framework. Therefore, emphasizing the significance of visual metaphor in the formulation of new and positive eco-friendly scenarios through the process of projection and integration across two distinct input spaces. The results of the study show that positive scenarios such as hope, success, aspiration, ambition, and optimism have been motivated in the generic space, providing an antithesis to the predominant negative scenarios characterized by stereotypes of eco threat, harm, insecurity, and instability.
The Father as a Dominant Figure in John McGahern’s The Dark
Authors: Albalawi Sabrya H.
Published: February 2024

The aim of this article is to investigate the role of the father figure in John McGahern’s novel, The Dark. Accordingly, the researcher attempts to examine the relationships between fathers and sons, and the psychological impact of dominant father figures on their children. For the theoretical framework of the study, the researcher draws on the father/ child Relationship in psychology. The analytical approach is employed to analyse the father’s actions and attitudes towards his family members. Through a close reading of the text, the researcher reaches the conclusion that the father figure in the novel is portrayed as a dominant and oppressive force, leading to the protagonist’s psychological and emotional struggles.The concepts of dominant and oppressive forces are often discussed in various fields, including sociology, politics, and cultural studies. These terms are used to describe power dynamics and the ways in which certain individuals, groups, or institutions exert control over others. The presence of a dominant father figure can significantly shape the identity and development of the characters, especially if the narrative unfolds within a family context. The expectations, values, and behaviours imposed by the dominant father can influence how individuals perceive themselves and their roles in the world. This impact might lead to internal conflicts and struggles for autonomy. Psychological abuse has been linked with negative outcomes such as impaired emotional, social, and cognitive development, including helplessness, aggression, emotional unresponsiveness and neuroticism.
The Impact of the Dynamicity and Non-dynamicity of Assessment on EFL Learners' Productive Skills: Attitude in Focus
Authors: Abdulaal Mohammad Awad Al-Dawoody , Al-Johani Hanan Maneh
Published: February 2024

The possible effects of dynamic evaluation (DE) and non-dynamic (non-DE) evaluation on the productive skills of Saudi EFL students were examined in this study. This study also looked at how Saudi EFL students felt about utilizing DE in their writing and speaking sessions. To achieve these objectives, sixty-four Saudi intermediate EFL students were split into two groups and selected using the convenience sample approach. Then, a pre-test was given to both groups for two skills: speaking and writing. After that, one group was taught speaking and writing using dynamic evaluation, while the other group was taught using NDE. Following eighteen training sessions, the groups were given posttests in speaking and writing, and the dynamic evaluation group was also given a perception questionnaire. The speaking and writing posttests for the two groups showed a substantial difference that favored the experimental group. The speaking and writing posttests demonstrated that the DE group fared better than the non-DE group. The results also pointed out that the DE group members had favorable opinions of the evaluation process. It was concluded that one of the best ways to help EFL students advance in their English language learning is to use DE in the classroom. Teachers and course designers may be convinced to incorporate dynamic evaluation into their lesson plans and courses by the consequences of this research.

Authors: Araujo Claudia Gean Carneiro Araujo , Paz Ana Maria de Oliveira
Published: February 2024

O Programa de Mestrado Profissional em Letras (ProfLetras), ofertado em rede nacional, no Brasil, é uma política pública com foco na formação continuada de professores de Língua Portuguesa. Em face disso, este artigo objetiva discutir em que medida esse programa pode contribuir para a ampliação dos letramentos laborais do professor-pesquisador. Teoricamente, a discussão sobre letramentos ancora-se nos estudos de Kleiman (2000, 2001, 2008), Oliveira (2016), Paz (2008) e Street (2013). Em termos metodológicos, este trabalho é do tipo documental (Gil, 2002) e assume abordagem de dados qualitativa-interpretativista (Moita Lopes, 1994). O corpus adotado contempla uma dissertação defendida no âmbito do programa (Araujo, 2020), cuja proposta focalizou o uso do dispositivo didático “projeto de letramento” como alternativa pedagógica que ressignifica a prática docente. As análises sinalizam a relevância do ProfLetras para o fomento da formação continuada e para ampliação dos letramentos laborais do professor, haja vista que possibilita ao profissional em formação a condição necessária a sua atuação como professor-pesquisador em sua própria sala de aula, transformando-a em um constante laboratório de pesquisa e intervenção pedagógica.
Referenciação e argumentação polêmica em artigo de opinião sobre a descriminalização das drogas no Brasil
Authors: Rocha Francisco Felipe de Oliveira , Souza Thales Moises Alves de , Bezerra Lidiane de Morais Diógenes
Published: February 2024

Neste trabalho, objetivamos investigar a relação entre a referenciação e a argumentação polêmica em um artigo de opinião sobre a descriminalização das drogas no Brasil. Para isso, filiamo-nos teoricamente à Linguística Textual e, mais especificamente, ao diálogo que tem sido estabelecido entre ela e a Teoria da Argumentação no Discurso, de Amossy (2020). Abordamos esse diálogo com base, principalmente, em Macedo (2018) e Cavalcante et al. (2020), que demonstram como a argumentação se revela textualmente. Consideramos, ainda, os postulados de Amossy (2017) quanto à modalidade polêmica de argumentação que se configura no artigo de opinião analisado, assim como as regulações desse gênero, a partir do estudo de Rodrigues (2001). A referenciação, estratégia de textualização por nós analisada, sustenta-se em estudos como o de Mondada e Dubois (2003) e o de Custódio Filho (2011). A análise revelou que a construção dos pontos de vista conflitantes que caracterizam a modalidade polêmica passa diretamente pelo modo como os referentes são (re)elaborados no artigo de opinião analisado. Demonstrou-se, assim, que a referenciação é uma importante estratégia argumentativa e, de modo mais amplo, que o diálogo entre a Linguística Textual e a Teoria da Argumentação no Discurso é bastante frutífero.

Authors: Dos Santos Souza Mariana , De Oliveira Santos Lima Geralda , Fonseca Nascimento João Paulo , Timoteo Almeida Igor Rafael
Published: February 2024

Neste artigo, apresentamos um estudo sobre o funcionamento do tópico discursivo a partir de comentários sobre a vacinação da COVID-19 em redes digitais. No ciberespaço, os pontos de vista a favor e contra a vacinação foram fortemente instigados durante o período pandêmico, e essas manifestações linguageiras utilizam diferentes estratégias de referenciação. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste estudo é analisar em que medida a articulação dessas estratégias nos comentários dos internautas contribuiu no gerenciamento do tópico discursivo e na construção do ponto de vista. A análise tem como base os princípios teóricos da Linguística Textual propostos por Cavalcante (2017a), Koch (2021), Marquesi et al. (2021) e Capistrano Júnior et al. (2019). Por meio de levantamento qualitativo, os dados foram extraídos de comentários contidos na postagem que divulgou o início da distribuição da vacina no país, publicada no perfil do Instagram do Ministério da Saúde, investigando-se o modo de construção do ponto de vista de internautas que fizeram uso de expressões nominais referenciais. Diante das múltiplas possibilidades de textualização do ambiente digital e do caráter atípico do momento pandêmico, constatamos que as expressões nominais foram essenciais na delimitação de tópicos discursivos e na exposição de pontos de vista.

This study evaluated the effects of energy supplementation on the intake and milk fatty acid composition of cows grazing BRS Kurumi elephant grass pasture during the rainy season. Two treatments (with and without supplementation) were evaluated using a switchback design with six Holstein × Gyr dairy cows after the peak of lactation. The average milk yield, body weight, and days in milk of the cows at the beginning of the study were 18.0±2.89 kg day−1, 560±66 kg, and 99±12, respectively. The evaluations were performed over three grazing cycles, with adaptation periods of 14 days and six days of sampling. In the energy supplementation treatment, each cow received 3 kg day−1 of ground corn (as-fed basis), with 2 kg day−1 at the morning milking and 1 kg day−1 at the afternoon milking. The ground corn presented 87.5% dry matter, 7.3% crude protein, 5.1% ether extract, and 85% of total digestible nutrients. The cows supplemented with ground corn consumed more oleic (+567%) and linoleic (+88%) acids. Unsupplemented cows consumed 26% more α-linolenic acid and produced milk with more oleic (+10%), vaccenic (+23%), and rumenic (+21%) acids, and less (−7%) pro-atherogenic fatty acids (lauric + myristic + palmitic acids). Milk fat from unsupplemented cows showed better nutritional quality, with lower atherogenicity and thrombogenicity indices and a higher hypo/hypercholesterolemic fatty acid ratio.

Statistical evidence from 58 countries shows that although people in rural areas are more likely to be in employment than those in urban ones, they also tend to have jobs that can put them at risk of experiencing inadequate labour protection as well as low pay. In particular, rural workers are paid, on average, 24 per cent less than their urban counterparts on an hourly basis, and only half of this gap can be explained by rural–urban discrepancies in education, job experience and occupational category. Developing countries exhibit a relatively wider gap, with the unexplained part also being larger. Furthermore, in many countries, certain groups of rural workers are at greater disadvantage, such as women, who, on average, appear to earn less than men in rural areas. However, institutional and regulatory frameworks, notably those that set minimum wages or seek to promote equal opportunities, can help to reduce labour market-related inequalities across the rural–urban divide.

Introduction: Pneumonia is also known as "the forgotten killer of children". Based on the 2018 Riskesdas report, the age prevalence of pneumonia among children aged 1-5 years was 2.1%. The prevalence of pneumonia in toddlers and children based on gender characteristics was (2.1%) in males and (2.0%) in females. After observations and interviews in the Keruing room of Harapan Insan Sendawar Hospital, it was found that the innovative intervention of chest physiotherapy and pronation position to improve airway clearance in pediatric patients with pneumonia had never been carried out. Objective: The purpose of KIAN is to analyze the intervention of providing chest physiotherapy actions and pronation positions on improving airway clearance in pneumonia patients in the Keruing room. Methods: Sampling in this KIAN was selected according to the inclusion criteria desired by the researcher with a total sample size of five pneumonia clients. Results and Discussion: From the results of the study, it was found that the provision of chest physiotherapy and a pronated position had changes in secretion production, breath sounds, oxygen saturation (SPO2), pulse and respiratory frequency (RR) in the five patients. So that the intervention of chest physiotherapy innovation and a pronated position is very effective in dealing with airway cleansing in pediatric pneumonia patients. Conclusion: Chest physiotherapy intervention and pronation position can reduce secretion production and increase SPO2 in paediatric pneumonia patients

Introduction: The smoking ban policy in Indonesia has not been fully complied with by the community, one of which is the policy of prohibiting smoking in schools. Smoking behavior at school is influenced by several factors such as knowledge, environmental influences, experience, and perception. One factor in the lack of compliance with the no-smoking policy in schools is the perception of a smoking ban. Objective: This study aims to determine students' perceptions regarding smoking bans in the school environment. Method:  This research uses qualitative research methods with a case study approach. Result and Discussion: In terms of information, it has run optimally. In terms of social rules, the school has implemented the rules firmly, but it is not optimal enough because there are still students who do not obey. In terms of experience, students only know about the smoking ban in the school environment when they first enter JHS, have curiosity and pleasure when consuming cigarettes. The environment of students shows that parents and friends of students are very influential. Conclusion: Students' perceptions of smoking bans are influenced by parental factors that often smoke in front of children, and peers who become friends of students to smoke together. This makes students less compliant with the policies that have been implemented by the school

Background: Spiritual health is a state which not only increases the meaning of life but also increases mental satisfaction and gist in life. It improves the verbal communication between physician and patients, which reflects future patient care by strengthening their relationship.

Aims and Objectives: (1) The present study was planned to assess the spiritual health status of undergraduate medical students of Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Burla, by use of the Spiritual Health Assessment Scale (SHAS) and coping orientation for problem experiences (COPE) score and (2) to find the association between sociodemographic variables and spiritual health status of the students.

Materials and Methods: For this study, 750 undergraduate students of either sex were recruited between August 2023 and November 2023. The data were collected through “sociodemographic characteristic questionnaire’s,” “SHAS,” and “cope score.”

Results: In our study, most of the students were female, i.e., 56.94%. Majority of students were having mean SHA score (96.83 ± 4.72). Regarding copping score, we found that 287 students have scored high score between 42 and 46 (38.26%). A significant association was found between SHAS and type of family (P = 0.001), ritual gathering (P = 0.000), father’s education level (P = 0.009), and mother’s education level (P = 0.003) at P < 0.05.

Conclusion: This study concludes that the spiritual health is directly and indirectly associated with lifestyle modification of the MBBS students which help very easily to overcome from stress and anxiety.
