O quaijo que xerava bem um estudo de produções escritas e orais do ditongo  de crianças de dois dialetos portugueses
Authors: Rodrigues Celeste , Gomes Jéssica
Published: November 2022

In an early stage of learning to write, diphthongs are complex structures that cause difficulties for many children. In addition to having a two-character representation, diphthongs have different phonetic forms that seem to interfere with children’s consolidation of the conventional spelling, depending on whether their dialect more or less resembles the graphic form of the structure. Based on the idea that, unlike the northern dialect, the southern dialect produces the diphthong /eI/ as [e], the goal of the present paper is to analyze the behavior of children from Alentejo and Trás-os-Montes (from Elvas (E), Vila Nova de Santo André (VNSA), Bragança (B) and Chaves (Ch)) from the 2nd year of schooling regarding this structure. It is also known that /eI/ centralization occurs in some regions beyond Lisbon, and its effect on children’s writing outside the capital is unknown. As such, written productions from the mentioned localities will be observed in order to compare the results with those from Lisbon (L) and Porto (P) of the same diphthong, reported by Rodrigues & Lourenço (2017). Our results concerning writing indicate that children from the South of the country (L, E + VNSA) have more difficulty in stabilizing the spelling of the diphthong  than children from the North (P, B + Ch). The order of the hit rates is as follows: P >> B + Ch >> E + VNSA >> L, which confirms the existence of possible effect of dialect on the spelling performance of these children. The non-conventional forms (FNCs) varied according to dialectal region. In the two Alentejo localities, there was a preference for the erroneous forms <*e>/<*é> and <*ai>, which allows us to hypothesize that, in addition to the to the single vowel [e] form already described by dialectal studies, the oral form [ɐj] is also present there. In turn, in the localities of Bragança and Chaves, the FNC <*ai> was the most frequent, suggesting that the pronunciation in this region may be [ɐj] in addition to [ej]. Only the oral productions of the students who presented FNCs were analyzed, to try to understand whether the FNCs adopted derived from a direct transposition from their orality to writing. The observed orality data revealed that (i) there are children who establish a direct relation between oral form produced and FNC adopted, (ii) there are children whose oral and written production have no relation, thus, there is no transposition in writing of the oral form and, finally, (iii) there are children whose production in writing and/or orality varies depending on the lexical item. These results suggest that the analysis of children’s writing and speech may be a way to discover new clues for the development of other sociolinguistic work on Portuguese.
Medir a qualidade da escrita em Português L2 a densidade de ideias
Authors: Lopes Ângela Filipe , Pinto Maria da Graça L. Castro
Published: November 2022

The paper proposes to look at idea density as a measure of lexical richness and precision in L2 Portuguese. Idea density (Kemper et al. 2001; Snowdon et al. 1999) is a measure of lexical richness and precision that has been associated with grammatical complexity in a study about the quality of L1 writing at different stages of life. Nevertheless, we argue that the same analysis methodology can be useful in the evaluation of L2 Portuguese writing. Thus, we propose the analysis of a writing task, a synthesis, written by a group of adult learners of advanced L2 Portuguese based on the same method used by Snowdon et al. (1999). The results show that idea density found in the written texts is not very high, which may be due to a lack of motivation for writing, as well as to lack of familiarity with the written register.
L' Aktionsart dans la construction rougir de colère
Authors: Kleiber Georges
Published: November 2022

We aim to study the Aktionsart or lexical aspect of chromatic verbal expressions such as rougir de colère (blush with anger). The aim is twofold. First, to show that the verb blush in these expressions is not the same as the one that appears in purely chromatic uses such as Les pommes rougissent au soleil (Apples blush in the sun). Secondly, to explain the originality of Aktionsart’s “chromo-affective” use of blush
O português e a língua cabo-verdiana no sistema de educação superior na ilha de São Vicente em Cabo Verde
Authors: Czopek Natalia
Published: November 2022

The present study is dedicated to the description of one of the areas in which an asymmetry in the linguistic choices available to Cape Verdeans is easily noticed, that is, the national education system. Firstly, we will trace the socio-historical context of the use of Portuguese and Cape Verdean in higher education, including some information about basic and secondary education. In the second part, we will present the results of the research carried out in 2016/2017 on the island of São Vicente, in Cape Verde, referring to the opinions of university students and the teaching staff regarding, for instance, the mandatory use of the Portuguese language in the school environment or the scarce presence of the national language in the formal higher education. For the purposes of this study, we chose 60 interviews: 37 with students from the University of Mindelo (UM), 15 with students from the University of Cape Verde (Uni-CV) and 8 with university professors, specialists in different scientific areas (Uni-CV, UM). The methodology applied for its description will be qualitative, with summarizing quantitative elements. The final observations, due to the small number of participants, cannot be considered as representative of the opinion of the entire population of São Vicente island, but they can, however, constitute a starting point for more comprehensive studies.
Communication, Manipulation, Seduction The Pragmatics of Transparency
Authors: Parret Herman
Published: November 2022

Communicative interaction is never fully transparent. A definition in terms of pure transfer of information is an impoverishment of the semantic content of a message. Other emotional connotations of linguistic interaction are deeply rooted into the depth of the psychology of subjects. This means that the interaction is often manipulatory and even seductive. This paper tries to present in a more systematic way the conditions of manipulatory and seductive discursive production. Speech acts theory (Austin, Searle) and conversational logic (Grice) offered some tools to formalize more or less these subtle production conditions of non-transparent “communication”

A study on the energy saving of lighting through the development of integrated control of multifunctional shading system
Authors:   Department of Architectural and Civil Engineering, Dong-Seo University, Busan, South Korea, Oh Gi-Hwan
Published: November 2022

Recently, interest in integrated shading and lighting control, which are building components, is increasing to reduce the energy used in buildings. However, the multi-functional shading system, which has recently been distributed, has a natural lighting function through ceiling reflection by introducing sunlight into the room, but it is difficult to control interworking with surrounding electric lighting and integrated control is impossible due to solar reflection or acquisition. In order to solve this problem, we intend to design and implement an integrated control system for multifunctional shading devices that affect the indoor light environment and thermal environment and are effective in reducing lighting energy. This study can reduce energy in buildings by controlling the temperature through an internally integrated control system for the inflow of sunlight into the room. In addition, integrated monitoring control is possible through real-time power and energy measurement and on-site sensor data management. As a result of this study, 34.5% of lighting energy could be saved through the study of the automated system of integrated control of multifunctional shading devices.

Authors: Nigam Abhinav , Joshi Pallavi
Published: November 2022

In the contemporary modern day due to the scenario of cutthroat competition, organizations are striving for excellence at every level. To achieve this, organizations are looking for managers with professional excellence and high integrity but are finding it difficult to find such people. Ethics and values are being compromised at every step to get the work done. To avoid such circumstances organizations and managers need to achieve professional excellence the right way. Bhagavad Gita can be extremely helpful to offer the mechanisms to help managers in achieving professional excellence, which in the long run not only helps in the success of the organization but also assure survival in the market. This paper conceptualizes a new framework of triads to increase professional excellence. The framework given in this paper, along with further study of Gita can be used to identify and develop tools to test the triads statistically.

Published: November 2022

The present study examines the relationship of spiritual beliefs (karma or action, generosity, surrender to almighty, altruism) and illness controllability beliefs (self, doctor, supernatural) with subjective well-being and health outcomes of women patients (N = 100) suffering from breast cancer. Participants were drawn from various medical centers and hospitals located in Varanasi city. These participants were given the measures of spiritual beliefs, illness controllability beliefs, life satisfaction, and health outcomes. Analysis showed a positive association of beliefs in “Karma” and “altruism” with “life-satisfaction” and “positive health outcomes” (e.g., hope, functional wellbeing, treatment satisfaction), and negatively with “pain” and “severity” of illness. “Self” and “doctor-control” showed a positive association with “life-satisfaction”, “hope”, “functional-wellbeing”, and “treatment- satisfaction” and negative with “pain” and “severity”. Beliefs in “Karma” and ‘altruism”, and “self” and “doctor-control” emerged as significant predictors of “life-satisfaction” and “positive health outcomes” of women patients.

Investor Sentiment and Stock Market Returns: Evidence from the Indian Market
Authors: Yadav Ajit . , Chakraborty Anindita .
Published: November 2022

Investor sentiment refers to investors' confidence in the market based on their subjective beliefs. Investor sentiment has become a topic of substantial interest among academicians as investor sentiment induces uninformed demand shocks, which can potentially drive away stock prices from their fundamental value. This study expands the literature on the effect of investor sentiment on stock market returns by constructing an Investor sentiment index for the Indian market. We use Nifty-Fifty returns and the sample period ranges from April 2012 to March 2022. The Principal Component Technique is employed to construct an investor sentiment index using seven market and firm implicit proxies: advances to decline ratio, buy-sell imbalance ratio, equity issues to total issues, volatility premium, share turnover, price-earnings ratio, and turnover volatility ratio. The regression analysis shows that the investor sentiment index has the predictive power to forecast Nifty-Fifty returns.
The Relationship Between Social Integration and Physical Activity, Diet, and Sleep Among Youths: Cross-sectional Survey Study
Authors: Wray Bridget , Grimes Amanda , Eighmy Katlyn , Lightner Joseph
Published: November 2022

Background

Social integration has been shown to predict physical activity (PA), diet, and sleep in adults. However, these associations have not been well-studied in youth samples. Using a life course perspective, it is imperative to study this in youths as social and health behaviors are established early in life.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to understand the relationship between social integration and PA, diet, and sleep for urban, middle-school youth.

Methods

Cross-sectional baseline data from middle-school youths (N=73) who participated in an afterschool health behavior intervention were included in this study.

Results

Time with friends significantly predicted moderate to vigorous intensity PA (β=.33, P=.02). Time spent with family was significantly related to fruit consumption (t66=1.38, P=.005) and vegetable consumption (t72=1.96, P=.01).

Conclusions

Social integration appears to be related to both PA and nutrition behaviors in youths. Future research should expand on our findings to explain how different domains of social integration may impact youths’ health behaviors.

Authors: Guala Maria Mercedes , Bul Kim , Skårderud Finn , Søgaard Nielsen Anette
Published: November 2022

Background

Eating disorders (EDs) are severe mental disorders associated with notable impairments in the quality of life. Despite the severity of the disorders and extensive research in the field, effective treatment for EDs is lacking. Digital interventions are gaining an evidence-based position in mental health, providing new perspectives in psychiatric treatment. Maze Out is a serious game coproduced by patients and therapists that focuses on supporting patients with EDs.

Objective

The aim of this study was to investigate the experiences of engaging in and acceptability of Maze Out among patients with EDs and therapists.

Methods

This study is a qualitative pilot study involving data collected through focus groups and individual interviews and user analytics collected through the game. The participants were recruited from the Odense Mental Health Service of the Region of Southern Denmark. Qualitative interviews analyzed by thematical analysis and interpreted by interpretative phenomenological analysis were used to evaluate the acceptance and experience of Maze Out among patients and therapists. The mobile health evidence reporting and assessment checklist was used to describe the content, context, and technical features of the game in a standardized manner for mobile health apps.

Results

The participants found Maze Out to be engaging, easy to use, and a good platform for reflecting on their disorder. They primarily used Maze Out as a conversational tool with their close relationships, giving them insights into the experiences and daily life struggles of someone with EDs.

Conclusions

Maze Out seems to be a promising tool supplementing the current ED treatment. Further research should focus on evaluating the effectiveness of the game and its potential to support patients with different types of EDs.
Sentiment Analysis of Insomnia-Related Tweets via a Combination of Transformers Using Dempster-Shafer Theory: Pre– and Peri–COVID-19 Pandemic Retrospective Study
Authors: Maghsoudi Arash , Nowakowski Sara , Agrawal Ritwick , Sharafkhaneh Amir , Kunik Mark E , Naik Aanand D , Xu Hua , Razjouyan Javad
Published: November 2022

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed additional stress on population health that may result in a change of sleeping behavior.

Objective

In this study, we hypothesized that using natural language processing to explore social media would help with assessing the mental health conditions of people experiencing insomnia after the outbreak of COVID-19.

Methods

We designed a retrospective study that used public social media content from Twitter. We categorized insomnia-related tweets based on time, using the following two intervals: the prepandemic (January 1, 2019, to January 1, 2020) and peripandemic (January 1, 2020, to January 1, 2021) intervals. We performed a sentiment analysis by using pretrained transformers in conjunction with Dempster-Shafer theory (DST) to classify the polarity of emotions as positive, negative, and neutral. We validated the proposed pipeline on 300 annotated tweets. Additionally, we performed a temporal analysis to examine the effect of time on Twitter users’ insomnia experiences, using logistic regression.

Results

We extracted 305,321 tweets containing the word insomnia (prepandemic tweets: n=139,561; peripandemic tweets: n=165,760). The best combination of pretrained transformers (combined via DST) yielded 84% accuracy. By using this pipeline, we found that the odds of posting negative tweets (odds ratio [OR] 1.39, 95% CI 1.37-1.41; P<.001) were higher in the peripandemic interval compared to those in the prepandemic interval. The likelihood of posting negative tweets after midnight was 21% higher than that before midnight (OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.19-1.23; P<.001). In the prepandemic interval, while the odds of posting negative tweets were 2% higher after midnight compared to those before midnight (OR 1.02, 95% CI 1.00-1.07; P=.008), they were 43% higher (OR 1.43, 95% CI 1.40-1.46; P<.001) in the peripandemic interval.

Conclusions

The proposed novel sentiment analysis pipeline, which combines pretrained transformers via DST, is capable of classifying the emotions and sentiments of insomnia-related tweets. Twitter users shared more negative tweets about insomnia in the peripandemic interval than in the prepandemic interval. Future studies using a natural language processing framework could assess tweets about other types of psychological distress, habit changes, weight gain resulting from inactivity, and the effect of viral infection on sleep.

Authors: Rytz Chantal L. , Kochaksaraei Golasa Samedi , Skeith Leslie , Ronksley Paul E. , Dumanski Sandra M. , Robert Magali , Ahmed Sofia B.
Published: November 2022

Background and objectives

Menstrual abnormalities and shortened reproductive lifespan are associated with shorter life expectancy and higher cardiovascular and osteoporosis risk in the general population, although the magnitude of these reproductive factor irregularities in females with CKD is unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to summarize the current knowledge regarding menstrual abnormalities and reproductive lifespan among females with CKD.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

A comprehensive bibliographic search (MEDLINE, Embase, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature [CINAHL]) was completed from database inception to February 2022 to identify all original articles reporting on females of reproductive age with nondialysis-dependent/nonkidney transplant CKD, dialysis-dependent CKD, or kidney transplantation and menstruation patterns, age of menarche, and/or menopause. Data extraction and study quality assessment were completed in duplicate. Random effects meta-analyses were used to derive pooled proportions estimates.

Results

Forty-six studies were identified, and 35 were meta-analyzed, stratified by KRT modality and reported outcome. Menstrual abnormalities were present in 19%–47% of patients on hemodialysis and 75% of patients on peritoneal dialysis. Kidney transplantation was associated with a 7%–30% decrease in menstrual abnormalities. Reproductive lifespan was 32 years (95% confidence interval, 30 to 34 years). Although significant heterogeneity was present, study quality ranged from fair to good, and no evidence of publication bias was noted.

Conclusions

Menstrual abnormalities and shorter reproductive lifespan are common in females with CKD, although kidney transplantation may improve menstrual health.

Published: November 2022

The high risk of bankruptcy in micro-enterprises, that occurs during the COVID-19 pandemic, makes the micro-business segment experience the biggest impact of the decline in revenue due to limited supply and demand. History notes that during the 1998 economic crisis, MSMEs contributed 39.40% to GDP and were able to absorb 88.90% of workers. However, the situation in the COVID-19 pandemic is different from the situation in the 1998 economic crisis, in which technological developments are quite rapid in the current era. The rapid development of technology has led to increasingly strong pressure for companies to be able to achieve a competitive advantage. This study aims to identify and elaborate the application of the blue ocean strategy to MSMEs to increase competitive advantage. The innovation steps taken were evaluated with the Canvas Strategy and ERRC Grid. In addition, the researchers also applied the SWOT matrix as a starting point for mapping external and internal potentials. The results of this study indicated RM Dikamali’ has met three good criteria for implementing the blue ocean strategy, namely having focus, moving away from existing competitors, and having an attractive slogan. RM Dikamali’ took six stages in implementing the blue ocean strategy, making them be able to get out of market constraints and open new markets. The results of this study can be used as a reference for further studies concerning the Blue Ocean Strategy and for MSMEs in implementing the blue ocean strategy to increase their competitive advantage.

Published: November 2022

The growth of Indonesia's economy depends significantly on micro, small, and medium-sized businesses (SMEs). When Indonesia experiences an economic crisis, SMEs become a powerful force that not only boosts national GDP but also helps to create jobs. This study's goal was to ascertain how the Leader Member Exchange, a kind of transformational leadership, affected worker productivity and job satisfaction. Partial Least Squares is a statistical test method used in this investigation (PLS). A questionnaire survey approach of data gathering was employed in this study. This study focuses on SMEs in East Java, one of which is that they have at least 50 individuals working for their company units. The study's findings show how transformational leadership affects worker performance. Additionally, there is no impact of transformative leadership on work satisfaction. The association between transformational leadership and employee performance is mediated by the Leader Member Exchange variable, although this variable does not mediate the relationship between transformational leadership and work satisfaction.

This study aimed to examine the effect of Human Resources development and training on performance. Data were collected using questionnaires from 71 workers who were selected at random. The collected data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), which employed Smart-PLS3. The analysis results show that on-the-job training measured by (Job- rotation, Job-instruction, orientation and workshop) had no significant direct effect on Employee Performance but a significant direct effect on Employee Competitive Advantage. While Off-the- job training measured by (exchange learning, short courses, self-development, and simulation) had a significant direct impact on employee performance but had no significant immediate effect on employee competitive advantage. Also, employee performance was found to have a significant direct impact on employee competitive advantage. The result further revealed that through the mediation of employee performance, on-the-job training had no significant indirect effect on employee competitive advantage, while off-the-job training had a substantial indirect impact on employee competitive advantage.

Forum Entrepreneur Muslimah Malang Raya adalah sebuah forum yang dibentuk untuk bisa memberikan manfaat dan menjadi tempat berbagi informasi dan pengetahuan sesama pengusaha muslimah di Malang Raya. Dalam perjalanannya, forum ini belum mempunyai tata kelola keorganisasian secara formal dan hal ini menjadi penghalang forum pengusaha muslimah untuk berkembang. Oleh karena itu, Tim pengabdian Masyarakat dari Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang akan melakukan pendampingan terkait pembentukan organisasi terkait struktur organisasi serta visi misi dan program kerja.

INTRODUCCIÓN: Las fracturas de antebrazo son las fracturas de huesos largos más comunes en niños, ycomprenden aproximadamente el 40% de todas las fracturas pediátricas. Aunque las fracturas de los huesosdel antebrazo pueden tratarse de manera conservadora en la mayor parte de los casos, los resultados siguensiendo variables y posteriormente algunos casos pueden requerir manipulación adicional de fracturas ointervención quirúrgica formal debido a angulaciones residuales. Estudios anteriores han demostrado queel fracaso del tratamiento no quirúrgico de las fracturas del eje medio en poblaciones pediátricas oscilaentre el 39% y el 64%. Las alternativas incluyen re manipulación y reducción cerrada, clavijas y yeso,reducción cerrada o mínimamente invasiva, enclavado endomedular elástico (EEE) y reducción abierta yfijación interna (ORIF) con placas y tornillos.OBJETIVO: Evaluar resultados radiológicos y funcionales, así como las complicaciones asociadas confracturas de los huesos del antebrazo tratadas con clavos elásticos de titanio en niños.MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Estudio observacional, retrospectivo, descriptivo. Se evaluó una serie depacientes pediátricos con diagnóstico de fractura de antebrazo desplazada tratados mediante EEE. Paraclasificar las fracturas se utilizó la clasificación AO universalmente conocida y en fracturas abiertas laclasificación de Gustilo. Se realizó un seguimiento a las dos, cuatro, ocho, 12 y 24 semanas después de laintervención hasta la extracción del material de osteosíntesis. Se obtuvo una evaluación funcional en basea la Mayo Elbow Performance Score y se describieron complicaciones tempranas o tardías en base a laescala Claviel-Dindo de fracturas de antebrazo. Se analizaron radiografías para determinar el tiempo deconsolidación, pérdida de corrección y deformidades angulares >10° al momento de la consolidación.RESULTADOS: De 30 pacientes, 28 presentaron fracturas cerradas mientras que 2 presentaron fracturasexpuestas, todas Gustilo I. Según la clasificación AO se encontraron 21 fracturas 22A3 y 9 fracturas 22B3.El tiempo medio de consolidación de la fractura fue de una media de 8,38 semanas (DE 3.01). De acuerdocon el Mayo Elbow Performance Score se obtuvieron excelentes resultados en 28 pacientes, y resultadosbuenos en 2. De los 30 pacientes, 3 presentaron complicaciones según la escala Claviel- Dindo: unacomplicación de grado I (retardo de consolidación), una complicación de grado II (infección superficial) yuna de grado III (extracción temprana por infección asociada a intolerancia de los materiales). No seobservaron deformidades angulares, ni tasas de no unión o de pérdida de corrección significativa.CONCLUSIONES: El enclavado elástico endomedular es una opción versátil y eficiente en la reducción yfijación de fracturas bióseas de antebrazo inestables en niños. Permite una rápida movilización yconsolidación, tiene muy buenos resultados funcionales y la tasa de complicaciones es baja
Cáncer de pulmón y arsénico

Published: November 2022

INTRODUCCIÓN: Esta revisión surge partir del primer estudio citogenético, realizado en Marcos Juárez(Provincia de Córdoba, Argentina), en donde la población había estado bebiendo agua que contenía más de0,13 mg/l (0,13 ppm) de arsénico. En este trabajo llamó la atención la relación entre el cáncer de pulmón yel contenido de arsénico en el agua de consumo, debido a que las causas de muerte de esta población entrelos años 1970-1988 mostraron un significativo aumento, siendo este hallazgo similar a otras investigacionesposteriores sobre el tema. La literatura revisada muestra que la exposición al arsénico ejerce efectosdeletéreos para la salud, principalmente a través de la inducción de estrés oxidativo, alteraciones en lametilación del ADN, modificación de histonas y expresión de mi ARN; por lo que sería interesantedeterminar la presencia y consecuencia de estas alteraciones en las poblaciones afectadas por lacontaminación del agua con arsénico, sin perder de vista otros agentes ambientales. Comprender comoactúa y la promoción de la carcinogénesis relacionada con los procesos de biotransformación del arsénicosería importante para la detección y tratamiento en las personas afectadas.
