Authors:   Institute for Linguistic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Bobrova Maria V. , Kolos’ko Elena V. ,   Institute for Linguistic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: May 2023

The article continues a cycle of works in which the authors explore the common parlance word chyo. In connection with the issues of lexicographic description, the particle chyo and phrases with it are considered. Their specificity is revealed on the material of the card file for the Dictionary of Russian Folk Dialects in comparison with the particle chto in the literary language according to the Dictionary of Contemporary Russian Literary Language. The particle is considered from the point of view of the main parameters of functioning and lexicographizing: formal, functional-pragmatic (communicative), and semantic. The analysis is complicated due to the actual absence of an exhaustive and consistent theory of particles for literary language and dialects. The following results were obtained. (1) According to various parameters, the particle chyo is only partially identical to its equivalent in the literary language, the semantic and functional-pragmatic range of the common parlance word chyo is wider. (2) In order to avoid contradictions of various theoretical approaches, the term “complex particle” should be abandoned in favor of the term “composite particle”, and labels clarifying the category of particles should be abandoned in favor of formulations that indirectly reflect the necessary information such as “used in interrogative and exclamatory sentences”, “used to enhance the meaning”, etc. (3) Polyfunctionality (a combination of features of different parts of speech) as a fundamental feature of the functioning of particles should be taken into account when defining the word chyo. Its definition, if possible, should also reflect the “shades” of the meaning chyo gives and describe transitional cases of using the particle as an interjection or introductory word. (4) For a correct lexicographic presentation of the material, if possible, the intonation of the phrase with the word chyo should be taken into account, it is necessary to include the widest possible context, commentaries of compilers of field materials. (5) It is necessary to reflect in the interpretation the shades of meaning, expressive and emotional evaluation, the modalities introduced by particles into the utterance. The features of the use of particles are easier to identify using substitution (by synonyms, equivalents) and elimination (removing of the analyzed word from the utterance) methods. (6) A special, in-depth consideration of combinations with the word chyo, including in the role of a particle, is required, which is the immediate prospect of this research. The article concludes that the analyzed materials confirm the authors’ idea of the need to include common parlance words in the corpus of dialect dictionaries and develop special approaches for the correct lexicographizing of such vocabulary.

The article discusses reasons for compiling a dictionary of architectural and design terms in the Russian language. The topicality of creating it is connected with the brisk growth of design activity, the branching out of a new training program, Design of Architectural Environment, and the absence of a linguistic terminological dictionary of this professional sphere. The aim of the article is to describe the conception of an ideographic dictionary of Russian architectural and design terminology. The dictionary is based on the special language of architecture and design selected from terminological reference books, educational materials and research literature, commercial catalogues, professional weblogs, websites, and e-commerce sites. The dictionary defines not only terms, but also terminoids, preterms and quasi-terms, and pays special attention to the foreign terminological units and neologisms. This is caused by the under-investigated functional lexis of the architectural environment design sphere, variability and movability of its concepts and terms. The research methods and techniques used in the study are: the lexicographical method with the research techniques of thematic (ideographic) arrangement, definition, componential and contextual analyses. The chosen type of an ideographic dictionary defined its marco-structure: it is represented by a system of thematic groups, subgroups and microgroups, contributes to the development of a holistic professional worldview, and facilitates work with the dictionary. The microstructure shows the content of a lexical entry including core and optional components as well as its design. The core components include the headword with its variants, their stresses and pronunciation features, information on the word’s grammar, its definition and examples of its usage in professional speech. The optional components (etymology, derivatives, terminological collocations with the headword, analogues, synonyms and illustrations) are used as supplementary characteristics of a lexical item if available. Definitions are made by the principle of generic, genetic, operational and contextual explanations with elements of encyclopedic information. The dictionary is intended for linguists, terminologists, students and teachers of the disciplines of the Design of the Architectural Environment training programs, and is of interest to professionals in this field

Milli parklar içerdikleri bitki örtüsü, hayvan çeşitliliği, doğal yapısı ile ender bulunan doğa parçalarıdır. Bu alanların korunup geleceğe aktarılmasında günümüz kullanımları önem taşır. Hem koruyacağımız hem de kullanacağımız bu alanların özgünlüğünü kaybetmeden geleceğe aktarılması, insanlığın önemli sorumluluklarından biridir. Bu nedenle korunması gerekli doğal alanlarda koruma-kullanmaya yönelik yapılacak çalışmaların sürdürülebilir, bütüncül ve bilimsel bir anlayışla yapılması gereklidir. Ancak son yıllarda artan çevre sorunları ve uygun olmayan kullanımlar doğal alanların özgün yapılarını bozmaktadır. Bu doğal alanların sorunları ve bu sorunlara öneriler getirilen bu çalışmada Yozgat Çamlık Milli Parkı çalışma alanı olarak seçilmiştir. Kent merkezinde bulunduğu için ayrıca kentsel baskılara da maruz kalan Yozgat Çamlık Milli Parkı’nın korunması, kullanılması ve geleceğe aktarılması için literatür ve alan çalışması yürütülerek öncelikle mevcut durum ortaya konulmuştur. Daha sonra bütün veriler değerlendirilerek çevre, kullanım ve kentsel sorunlara sahip olduğu görülen Çamlık Milli Parkı’nın bir mesire alanı gibi kullanıldığı, sürdürülebilir, bilimsel ve bütüncül bir koruma anlayışından uzak olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak pek çok sorunla karşı karşıya kalan parkın hem korunması hem de kullanılarak geleceğe aktarılmasına yönelik öneriler geliştirilerek benzer çalışmalara katkı sunması beklenmektedir.

In light of the rapidly growing global population, there is an urgent need to develop high-yielding and climateresilient rice varieties. The productivity of traditional basmati cultivars is limiting due to region-specific cultivation, and genetic improvements are direly needed to enhance their productivity without compromising quality attributes. This study aimed to develop high yielding basmati advance line with good quality attributes through a marker-assisted selection approach. A cross was attempted between Basmati 515 and IRBB 66, followed by pedigree selection up to the F5 generation. A uniform recombinant inbred line was identified then backcrossed with PK 1121 Aromatic and again followed by pedigree selection up to BC3F5 for desirable genotype development. Genes pyramiding for aroma (BADEX7-5), dense and erect panicles (DEP1), grain length (FMGS7) and grain width (GW8-indel) were achieved using gene-linked markers. The identified line “BLB 18-5001”, predominately harbored agronomic and quality characteristics of Basmati 515, panicle architecture, and grain dimension traits of IRBB 66 and PK 1121 Aromatic, respectively. The BLB 18-5001 outperformed in thousandgrain weight (28.5 g), grain yield (4.7 t ha-1), average grain length (9.22 mm), and cooked grain length (19.5 mm) compared to parents. A two-year field evaluation revealed superior agronomic and quality attributes of BLB 18-5001, suggesting an unprecedented genetic potential to meet future varietal demands. This study concludes that the BLB 18-5001 line has overcome the negative correlation between grain quality and yield to some extent and is expected to serve as a valuable breeding source to improve basmati productivity to meet the growing

demand for food.

Authors: ZERE TAŞKIN Sinem , BİLGİLİ Ugur
Published: May 2023

Doubled haploid technology has become an increasingly popular and important tool for developing new maize lines (Zea mays L.) breeding. Conventional maize breeding requires repeated self-pollination for about six to ten generations to obtain homozygous inbred lines. Completely homozygous lines can be produced in only two generations by using doubled haploid technology. In vivo induction of the maternal haploid method was used for the production of doubled haploid lines. 32 different donors pollinated with haploid inducer line Stock6. Haploid seeds were identified visually by using dominant anthocyanin color marker genes R1-nj. Haploid induction rates (HIR) and chromosome doubling rate (CDR) were determined. 488 putative haploid seeds were obtained. The average haploid induction rate was calculated as 2.0%, the average chromosome doubling rate was 52,3%. Results of this study 20 doubled haploid lines were developed.

Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN) support the optimal usage of licensed vacant spectrum using interviewing and underlay techniques. The aim of this work is to design a Very High Frequency (VHF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) range wideband antenna between 200 MHz and 850 MHz for CRN application. Antenna fabrication was done using FR4 substrate which measures a dimension of 108 mm x 108 mm. The underutilized spectrum in the range is effectively utilized by the cognitive user in the absence of a licensed primary user. This is achieved by the spectrum sensing technique by sensing the user environment. Therefore the necessity of spectrum sensing antenna is determined by this work and the same is achieved through meticulous design and extensive testing. The simulated and measured results are well in agreement and achieve wide bandwidth of 650MHz with a peak radiation efficiency of 96%.

Published: May 2023

The focus of this paper is to optimize the control of a stand-alone discretized photovoltaic system and to reduce the power losses. High power installations require discretized photovoltaic systems. This architecture allows to avoid penalizing the entire system during a malfunction. However, its problems lie in the control of the converters of the adaptation stages and the monitoring of the global system in case of failure. The paper presents, on the one hand, an optimized control algorithm based on the Hill-Climbing method that takes into account the characteristics of the photovoltaic panels and the batteries used to improve the performance and reliability of the photovoltaic system, and, on the other hand, an automated energy management system and a remote supervision interface of the installation to ensure interaction with the site. The integration of the main blocks in our photovoltaic chain has guaranteed continuity of energy production, protection of equipment and reduction of intervention time in case of anomaly in the system. All the results obtained showed that the efficiency of the control of the adaptation stages is around 96%. The average relative error between the simulation and the experiment is 2.47%. After a daily measurement, the efficiency of the MPPT control (98.7%), the efficiency of the adaptation stages (88%) and the efficiency of the overall system (85%) are satisfactory and close to the optimal values of the overall system.
Design and Control Method of a Battery/Ultra-Capacitor Energy Storage System for EVs
Authors:   Department of Electrical Engineering, National University of Tainan, Tainan, Taiwan
Published: May 2023

This paper presents a battery/ultra-capacitor (UC) energy storage system for the operation of permanent magnet synchronous motor drives in electric vehicles (EVs). In this system, when the EV is used for accelerated operation, the battery provides a stable voltage to the inverter through the DC-DC converter. At the same time, the battery and UC jointly release energy to the inverter to share the larger current demand of the EV motor. In constant speed operation, the battery supplies energy to the inverter through a shunt diode to avoid additional power losses while the DC-DC converter is operating. During the regenerative braking mode, the current produced by the EV motor is charged to the UC to reduce pulse currents flowing into the battery, which may shorten battery life. To validate the effectiveness of the circuit design, several operation scenarios including buck and boot voltage conversion for the operation of proposed battery/UC ESS were examined in the experimental studies. Test results consolidates the feasibility and practicality of the circuit method for the EV applications.
Upper gastro intestinal bleed: causes, endoscopic profile and usefulness of Rockall score in determining the outcome
Authors: Katira Heet Bharatkumar , Srivastava Shirish
Published: May 2023

Background: Upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage is defined as any bleeding from a site in the gastrointestinal tract proximal to the ligament of Treitz (fore-gut). Patients with Upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage present with a wide range of clinical severity ranging from trivial bleeds to fulminant and lethal exsanguinations. It is associated with multiple risk factors and multiple co-morbid condition.
Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital. A total of 56 patients who were subjected to endoscopy and were studied for 6 months. Appropriate statistical method had been applied wherever needed.
Results: In the studied population among 56 patients, most common cause of UGIB was variceal bleed 45 (80%); most common of age group with variceal bleed belonged to 40-59 years, Grade III varices were most commonly found 23 (52%). The mean Rockall score was 4.7 which indicated that most patients belong to moderate risk group. The need of packed red blood cell transfusion and chances of rebleeding were more in high-risk group compared to low and moderate risk group. Patient mortality were only observed in high-risk group compared to low and moderate risk group.
Conclusions: Upper GI endoscopy is beneficial in both diagnostic and therapeutic treatment of patients with UGIB. Rockall score helped in identifying that most of the patients belonged to moderate and high-risk group. Rockall score has been found to correlate well with clinical outcome, including need for transfusions, rebleeding and mortality, and may be used for effective triage of patients.

Published: May 2023

In this article we experimentally evaluate Colombias Think Equal program, which teaches socioemotional skills to children ages 3 to 6. Given the context of COVID-19, the original design was adapted as a hybrid model, alternating in-person and remote instruction and engaging families in the implementation of the curriculum. We found that the program had positive effects on childrens prosocial behavior, self-awareness, and cognitive learning. The intervention also had an impact on education centers personnel (community mothers) and caregivers implementing the activities. Treated community mothers had higher levels of empathy, lower negative health symptoms, better pedagogical practices, and a closer relationship with the childrens caregivers compared with those in the control group. Treated caregivers had better stimulation practices and lower negative health symptoms compared with those in the control group. These findings suggest that a well-designed intervention has the potential to develop socioemotional skills in children at an early age and, at the same time, to develop capacities in those who implement the activities. Our results have important implications for the design, implementation, and evaluation of early childhood socioemotional learning programs and provide novel evidence about the challenges faced by interventions combining face-to-face and remote learning.
The Role of the Bonding Strategy in the Identity of Islamic Architecture
Authors: Fanjan Riyam Rajab , Alboadam Hasan Shakir
Published: May 2023

Contemporary Islamic production varies in its connection or separation from its Islamic identity, as the models varied within the single functional style, as an instance Mosque architecture, shows more than one form and characteristic in how it represent the principles and values that must be available within its spaces, but despite the diversity, there are lines or bonds connect this product with the basis from which architecture was launched, thus the research presents the strategy of bonding by linking the product with its origins and its role in showing the identity of Islamic architecture albeit this representation depends on the type of bonging, which the research presents in two types: a differential and a consensual bonging. In both types, the identity appears on one hand as well as the creative aspects of the production, which invoke a new language, and here we should mention the knowledge gap in lacking enough studies that define the role of bonding between the contemporary Islamic product and its original and basic sources due to diversity of presenting the products and the means of dealing with it in addition to its role in providing continuity via time and space. Thus, the Islamic production must be identified via its connection with its roots which provide its Islamic identity and manifest its character as an Islamic production. In that meaning, the study propose bonding as a strategy enables connection with dynamic and statistic, while the dynamic works on revive the intellect through a new generative form, the static represent both intellectual and formal revive that entails a high symbolic formal Islamic architecture. the research also mentioned that the importance of bonding strategy manifests the importance of its present in the contemporary Islamic production partially rather in total form, and its adaptation varies depending on its presentation by the designer more than being as objective aspects in control.

Published: May 2023

To mitigate the intensification of desertification and land degradation in karst areas of southern China, since the late 1990s, the Chinese government has implemented a series of ecological restoration projects. In the past couple of decades, the carbon sequestration potential of karst rocky desertification land increased significantly. However, few studies have explored the characteristics and driving mechanisms of carbon sequestration in karst areas. This study aimed to quantify the spatiotemporal patterns, trends, and drivers of carbon sequestration in the Huajiang River Basin, a typical karst basin, in southern China during 2000-2020 and its five geographic zones via the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) model. The five zones of the karst basin exhibited the following characteristics: (I) good natural background condition with positive feedback human intervention; (II) poor natural background condition with increased negative and decreased positive feedback human interventions; (III) poor natural background condition with increased positive and decreased negative feedback human interventions; (IV) non-karst land; and (V) poor natural background condition with no significant positive and negative feedback human interventions and with heavy reliance on natural ecosystem recovery. The results were four-fold. First, the Huajiang River Basin showed a significant increasing trend of carbon sequestration. The spatiotemporal variation of carbon sequestration significantly differed among the five zones (Ⅴ > Ⅲ > Ⅳ > Ⅱ > Ⅰ). The stability of carbon sequestration was lowest in zone III. Second, a 20-year land-use/cover change directly affected the level of carbon sequestration. The conversion of cropland, grassland, and woodland to shrubland was the main reason for the increased carbon sequestration in zone I. Third, carbon sequestration was negatively correlated with the desertification level of karst rocky areas. The spatial distributions of moderate, serious, and extremely strong desertification levels in zone II showed an increasing trend. Zones I, III, and V exhibited no significant desertification. Finally, the integrated ecological management against desertification increased carbon sequestration. Negative feedback human interventions (e.g., quarrying) exerted a significant disturbing impact on carbon sequestration that needs to be addressed in the formulation of management practices.
Degradation of lignocellulosic substrates by Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinus squarrosulus
Authors: Fasiku Samuel Adedayo , Wakil Sherifah Monilola , Alao Olaoluwa Kehinde
Published: May 2023

Lignocellulosic substrates are wastes in the environment whose reducing sugars are not readily available for use. Biological pretreatment is the use of microorganisms and/or their metabolites to break down substrates to obtain simple sugars which is also cheap compared with other pretreatment techniques. This work is aimed at degrading lignocellulosic substrates with higher mushrooms to obtain simple sugars that could be used as raw materials for other industrial processes. The two mushrooms [Pleurotus ostreatus (PO) and Lentinus squarrosulus (LS)] with the ability to produce cellulase, xylanase, and lignase were used for degradation of lignocellulosic substrates [groundnut shell (GS), maize cob (MC), maize straw (MS), rice straw (RS) and sugarcane bagasse (SB)]. The residual extractives, cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and reducing sugar contents were determined every 7 days. Least extractives (1.12 %), hemicellulose (15.09 %), lignin (17.60 %), and cellulose (5.60 %) were recorded in PO-degraded MS, POLS-degraded GS, LS-degraded GS, and PO-degraded MS at 28, 35, 49 and 42 days of degradation, respectively. The highest reducing sugar contents (mg/g) obtained in GS (11.83), MS (27.03), SB (28.70), and RS (37.96) were recorded when degraded by PO for 49, 14, 7, and 49 days, respectively while that of MC (13.32) was recorded when degraded by LS for 42 days. Reducing sugar obtained was higher from sole degradation with PO compared with LS and POLS. Degraded MS, RS, and SB had better yield of reducing sugar than GS and MC. The amount of reducing sugar released varied with substrates, organisms, and degradation time.

Donor Cell-Derived Myelodysplastic Syndrome Following Allogenic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant
Authors: Narang Ujjwala , Tewari Sanjay
Published: May 2023

Donor cell-derived leukemia is a rare but well-described complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). This clinical case report aims to highlight the importance of recognizing this unusual disorder and thus, ensuring its appropriate management. We herein describe a case of a 9-year-old male diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and relapsed after initial chemotherapy. Subsequently, the patient had an allogenic peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) from an HLA-matched, unrelated donor. Unfortunately, the patient then developed progressive thrombocytopenia, and following investigation, including bone marrow examination and cytogenetic analysis, he was diagnosed with donor cell-derived myelodysplastic syndrome. The literature review emphasizes the importance of considering it as a differential diagnosis of disease relapse following allogeneic HSCT.

A Critique on Increasing the Numbers of Medical Sciences Trainees
Authors: Gandomkar Roghayeh
Published: May 2023

One of the duties of the government is to train and provide the expert workforce to provide quality health services to society. During the last four decades, the Ministry of Health and Medical Education has prioritized one of the policies to increase the number of medical science students or to improve the quality of education based on the needs of society. Following the approval and initiation of the policy to expand the number of medical sciences students and considering its proponents and opponents, in this article, various aspects of increasing students include the supply of workforce in response to the demands of society and the challenges of ensuring the quality of education has been discussed. Previous studies show this is a multifaceted issue that requires comprehensive mixed-method studies taking into account all the influencing factors such as the high tendency of health workers to immigrate, low retention in less privileged areas, economic problems and other factors. In addition, expanding the numbers requires infrastructure, concise planning to provide high-quality education, and monitoring of the educational system and learners in terms of achieving the desired competencies. In case of not paying attention to ensuring the quality of education in all three dimensions of input, process and output, the increase of numbers will ultimately be counterproductive and will lead to jeopardizing the safety and health of patients.
With or without Hijab this is not the problem.

Published: May 2023

Many debates and news regarding not providing healthcare services to female patients based on wearing hijab were raised following the woman, life, freedom movement in Iran. In this editorial, the author first has an overview of the cases in which the doctor is ethically allowed to choose her patient, then recommend not to refuse patients based on wearing hijab, putting forward this argument that it can enhance social polarization and make discrimination in access to health care based on hijab a matter of concern to the society which in turn can cause distrust in the medical profession especially in Iran’s current situation. In addition, this editorial emphasizes that the Council of Medicine as the patient advocate should prevent the government limiting the access of women without hijab to health care services.

Background: Cyclophosphamide (CP) has clinical applications in treating diverse malignancies and autoimmune disorders; at the same time, it also has harmful effects on the body tissues, particularly the genitals. The most significant side effects of CP are changing the reproductive system’s function and infertility.
Objective: This study determines the Ephedra hydroalcoholic extract (EP) role on testicular tissue and the pituitary-gonadal axis in CP-treated male rats.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 48 adult Wistar rats were separated into 6 groups (n = 8/each): control, sham, CP recipients, and CP recipients with gavage-fed EP (250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg). On the 29th day, the blood of the weighed animals’ was drawn from their heart, and serum concentrations of follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and testosterone were measured. After preparing testicular tissue segments, cells were counted.
 Results: While CP decreased follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and testosterone levels (p < 0.05), the use of EP changed them and even reached the control. Serum gonadotropin-releasing hormone increased significantly in all EP groups compared to the control and CP groups. Compared to the control, a significant decrease in Total antioxidant capacity and plasma glutathione peroxidase was observed in the CP groups. EP (all doses) significantly increased their concentration compared to the CP group (p < 0.05); significant reduction in serum total oxidant status and malondialdehyde in CP groups changed by EP (p < 0.05). Although CP’s role on spermatogonia counts (57.5 ± 5.2 in CP, 67.1 ± 6.0 in control), higher doses of EP had no significant effect on this but did affect spermatocyte and spermatid cells count.
Conclusion: Due to its antioxidant characteristics, EP mitigated the effects of CP on the investigated parameters in rats.

The presence, severity, and onset of preeclampsia is associated with maternal interleukin-23 level: A case-control study
Authors: Forghani Forough , Ranjbar Nasrin , Jahantigh Danial
Published: May 2023

Background: Scientific evidence support that imbalance between inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines play a critical role in preeclampsia (PE).
Objective: To investigate the relationship between the maternal serum level of interleukin (IL)-23, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, PE and its severity risk was investigated.
Materials and Methods: The case-control study included a total of 145 women counting 75 PE cases, 35 healthy pregnant and 35 healthy non-pregnant controls from Zahedan, southeast of Iran. The maternal levels of IL-23 in circulation were determined via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results: The maternal serum levels of IL-23 were increased in PE and its 2 subgroups severe PE and mild PE, so that these increases were significant in PE and severe PE, but not in mild PE compared with the controls (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, p = 0.08, respectively). Besides, the maternal IL-23 serum level was statically significant in the early onset PE, but not in the late onset-PE group compared to healthy pregnant controls (p < 0.001, p = 0.46 respectively).
Conclusion: The results of our study showed a positive association between IL-23 level and PE, especially in severe type and early onset PE, which suggests that IL-23 may be involved in the pathogenesis of this systemic syndrome.

Pensar a fronteira agrária amazônica é inferir simultaneamente acerca dos conflitos e conflitualidades que emergiram com sua ocupação diferenciada e seletiva no decorrer dos anos. A partir de tal contexto, nossa pesquisa tem o objetivo de analisar como o avanço da fronteira na região contribui para a alteração nas territorialidades de uma comunidade camponesa, assentada por meio do Projeto de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (PDS) Esperança, município de Anapu, localizado na região conhecida como Terra do Meio no Estado do Pará. A metodologia do trabalho esteve pautada no levantamento bibliográfico e documental referente à temática, assim como na realização do trabalho de campo. Para entendimento das problemáticas atuais, constatou-se vital considerar o caráter ambiental da fronteira agrária, bem como os conflitos internos de apropriação do território no PDS.

Socio-demographic variables of mothers of children born with hearing impairment and between the ages of 1-5 and mothers of children with normal development, and psychological well–being. This study aims to examine whether there is a significant difference between the levels of depression and depression. This study was carried out in Diyarbakir, among mothers who have children aged 1-5 with hearing impairment and children aged 1-5 with normal development. One hundred and two (102) mothers of 51 hearing-impaired and 51 non-disabled children participated in the study. Demographic information forms created by the researchers for the participants, and Beck’s Depression Inventory adapted by Hisli were used to collect data. Results showed that the depression level of mothers with a child with a hearing impairment is significantly higher than that of mothers with a child with a normally developing child.
Keywords: Depression; hearing impaired; psychological resilience; psychological strength.
Exploring the Relationship Between Metacognition, Emotional Regulation and Perceived Stress Among College Students
Authors: TEMİRCAN Zekeriya
Published: May 2023

Students experience stress because of difficult and demanding situations, which are related to metacognitive abilities and emotional control techniques. College students experience negative emotions frequently, which affect their capacity for metacognition. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between college students' perceptions of stress, metacognition, and emotional control. 226 college students in all, ranging in age from 18 to 35, participated in the cross-sectional study (M = 24.8, SD = 4.87). Participants completed a sociodemographic form, the Perceived Stress Scale, the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire, and the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory. The study's findings showed that the majority of participants experienced moderate stress (Male= M = 32.4, SD = 5.3, Female= M = 28.7, SD = 4.9), and male students reported less mastery of metacognitive processes than female students. Additionally, a negative link between perceived stress and emotional regulation was discovered, suggesting that a low degree of emotional regulation was associated with a high level of stress. The findings further showed that higher levels of stress were associated with weaker metacognitive capacity and lower use of reappraisal as an emotional regulation method, respectively (r(224)=-.182). These results demonstrated a relationship between perceived stress, metacognitive abilities, and emotional regulation that might have significant consequences for supporting and promoting college student performance.

Inquiring into the Coloniality of Knowledge, Power, and Being in EFL Textbooks
Authors: Núñez-Pardo Astrid
Published: May 2023

This article inquires into the coloniality present in EFL textbooks, which continue being used as the core resource for language learning and teaching in Colombia. However, its instrumentalization, imperialism, and exploitation as an instrument of subalternation suggest that EFL textbooks produced by foreign and local publishing houses in the Colombian context are colonised in three interrelated dimensions: knowledge, power, and being. Therefore, this research proposal aims at unveiling the ontological, epistemological, and power criteria rooted in critical interculturality as a decolonial alternative, and inspired by the decolonial turn, to orient the development of other contextualised materials from the voices of Colombian teachers, authors and experts.
