Published: June 2022

This paper aimed to analyze Polytechnic learners’ perception of multimodality in Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) in an English instructional context. This research was a survey with a quantitative approach. Purposive sampling was employed and considered only for students who learned English language lessons at eight classes in the Business Administration Department, Politeknik Negeri Bali. Questionnaires focused on the Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), and Behavior Intention (BI) of UTAUT theory. The result of the study indicated that internet technology was prevalent to be used by the students and there was a keen exploration of the English materials in a multimodal perspective that is a combination of technology-based learning materials with various modes, involving audiovisual, pictures, realia, in different formats. The usefulness of the device and the ease of technology used contribute to the use of mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) in learning the English language. The result also revealed the entrepreneur candidates tended to choose MALL with multimodal immersion as a fruitful combination to escalate their English language skills. Policies, subject matter expertise, appropriate pedagogies, and relevant use of technology support are suggested to explore the usefulness of MALL for students in Polytechnic education.

A review on perceptions of the COVID-19 vaccine passports: A problem solver or a problem maker?
Authors: KURT Yeşim
Published: June 2022

The study aims to understand the approaches of Twitter users toward vaccination passports, explain the reasons for these approaches, and reveal the relationship between these approaches and sustainability. More than 104 thousand tweets and retweets from 56 different hashtags were obtained with the NVivo 12 program to achieve these goals. The analysis of these data was carried out with the inductive analysis method. According to the research results, there are three basic views on compulsory vaccination passports. These; Those who fully support vaccination passports, reject vaccination passports altogether, and reject mandatory passports. Those who fully support their vaccination passports; demonstrate this approach with the positive effect of vaccines on human health, the desire to return to social life, and the desire to revive the economy. Those who reject vaccination passports entirely and those who refuse to make these passports compulsory exhibit these approaches because of their vaccine hesitation, concerns about equality and discrimination, concerns about freedom, and the belief that new world order has been created. One of the actual results of the research is related to sustainability. According to this result, while those who support vaccination passports focus on economic and social sustainability, those who accept the social sustainability dimension associate the reason why these practices are compulsory with economic sustainability. According to them, governments, authorities and large commercial enterprises place profitability above public health.
A new measure of the output gap, inflation dynamics, and the New Keynesian Phillips Curve
Authors: DEMİR Hüseyin Utku
Published: June 2022

Literature suggests that measures of slack such as unemployment, output, labour share, and inflation have been separated in recent years, particularly after the global crisis. Some claimed that the Phillips curve had vanished. Because of the unobservable nature of the natural rates, estimation of the output and unemployment gaps might not offer precise outcomes. The inflation model permits a fraction of firms that use a backwards-looking rule to set prices, as Gali and Gertler (2000) did. The essential contrast between their paper and mine is that they utilized marginal cost estimates as the applicable determinant of inflation, and I utilized the estimated output gap. Gali and Gertler supposed real marginal costs are a significant determinant of inflation. They also believed the output gap was negative and inconsequential. I have indicated that a precise output gap estimate is significant and positive. CBO output gap is also used to inspect for robustness. However, it was also insignificant, as the literature suggests. Therefore, the model used the estimated output gap instead of marginal cost. I calculated the output gap with a new methodology and could replicate their results with the new measure. I extended their study to 2019Q4; It is showed that their measure for inflation slack which was marginal cost becomes insignificant; however, my measure of the output gap is still significant. Therefore, it was inferred that the New Keynesian Phillips curve reasonably still explains inflation dynamics. I also concluded that the hybrid new Keynesian Phillips curve might explain the inflation dynamics.
Chaotic dynamics in Turkish foreign exchange markets
Authors: ÖZKAYA Ata
Published: June 2022

The financial systems, and particularly foreign exchange markets, are complex. This study investigates whether the Turkish foreign exchange market exhibits chaotic dynamics. To achieve this goal, we focus on a currency basket composed of equally-weighted Euro and US Dollar against the Turkish Lira. We compute Lyapunov exponents (LE) embedded in daily data of the currency basket from 2018M05D01 to 2022M05D23. The time interval under examination also indicates Turkey's alternative economic and financial policies have been preferred. We employed the phase space reconstruction method, which enables the detection of multiple equilibria in foreign exchange markets due to recent monetary policy applications. The study's main findings demonstrate that the daily currency basket data exhibit chaotic behaviour, and the associated maximal Lyapunov exponent is positive. An increase in complexity may recursively cause volatility in exchange rates for some time interval. Therefore, in policy-making, finding the root factors that sustain the chaotic behaviour of exchange rates and preventing multiple equilibria on expectations is crucial, which leads back to volatility. The study findings have important implications for interventions of Central banks as well as portfolio and risk management.
Gambling on a Sale: Gift-enterprise Bookselling and Communities of Print in 1850s America
Authors: Highland Kristen
Published: June 2022

This article explores the phenomenon of the gift enterprise bookstore in the mid-nineteenth-century United States. An early form of premium marketing, the gift-book enterprise promised to reward each book purchase with a surprise ‘gift’, ranging from pencils to dress patterns to cutlery to jewellery. A novel form of marketing books, the gift enterprise bookstore teetered on a thin line between sensation and sham. Although decried as form of illegal lottery gambling and beset by accusations of dishonesty, gift-book enterprises grew immensely popular. Drawing on extensive archival research on one of the most successful gift-book enterprises, the bookstores of G.G. and D.W. Evans—operating in urban centres from 1856–1861—this article examines gift enterprise bookselling in the context of mid-nineteenth-century American print cultures. As savvy entrepreneurs, the Evans’ leveraged the national reach and perceived authority of the newspaper by engaging in debates over the morality and legality of the business in the columns of widely-circulating papers and capitalised on editorial and reprinting practices to endorse their business model and market their bookstores. In addition, in lengthy bookseller catalogues distributed across the nation, the Evans’ created a bookstore in print and shaped inclusive imagined and real communities of reader-book buyers. Examining the print culture of Evans’ gift-book enterprise offers new insights into nineteenth-century book marketing and the ways in which gift enterprise bookselling was intimately connected to and inseparable from contemporary print forms, networks, and practices. Taking the gift-book enterprise seriously expands the histories of American bookselling and decentres the dominant focus on large publishers. In addition, the gift-bookstore phenomenon highlights how bookselling is always entwined with larger cultural dynamics.
Cicero, Voltaire and the Bible: French Best-Sellers in the Age of Enlightenment?*
Authors: Burrows Simon
Published: June 2022

Since the early twentieth century, when Daniel Mornet conducted his path-breaking survey of private library catalogues in an attempt to determine what people read during the enlightenment, historians have debated how to identify the best-selling texts in the distant past. Besides library catalogues, scholars of eighteenth-century France have ransacked will inventories, publishers’ archives, print licence registers, book auction records, the titles available in cabinets de lecture, and even the extraordinarily rich records of books stamped in an amnesty for pirated editions in 1777–1781. This article suggests that none of these sources taken in isolation can give us sufficient insight to provide a reliable overview of the book trade and the market for books. Taken together and analysed digitally, however, they give important representative insights into the best-selling texts, genres and authors of the eighteenth century. The article compares and contrasts the findings of several large-scale digital projects to identify and explore the best-selling – or most frequently-encountered-texts across a number of genres including school-books, self-help manuals, popular medical texts, creative literature and religious works. In the process, it will help us to think more critically about what constituted a best-seller in the early modern period. By revealing some broad contours of eighteenth-century print culture, it will also challenge existing narratives of the enlightenment, secularisation, popular literacy and the book trade.

Unusual progressive supranuclear palsy: A case report
Authors: Si Ahmed Hakim , Megherbi Lilia , Daoudi Smail
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare brain condition. It is predominantly a sporadic disease that occurs between 45 and 75 years of age, typically after the age of 40. We herein report a presentation of PSP in a 35-year-old male patient. Observation: A 35-year-old man progressively presented gait disturbances with postural instability leading to falls. On examination: Akineto-rigid parkinsonian syndrome (PS), primarily axial, associated with vertical gaze palsy, head backwards tilt and postural instability without tremor. There was a slight frontal syndrome, irritability and dysphagia. The biological assessment (autoimmunity, copper and CSF testing) was correct. Brain MRI of the onset [figure1] did not show mesencephalic atrophy, nor signal abnormalities of overload disorders (Wilson's disease (WD), neuroferritinopathy). The patient underwent a therapeutic test (L-dopa 300 mg/d) over three months, without significant improvement. We then added ropinirole, rivastigmine and paroxetine. Despite the given therapeutics, no remarkable changes were noticed. Discussion: PSP is the most common phenotype of parkinsonism after Parkinson’s disease (PD). Its prevalence estimated to be 5–7 cases /100 000 with peak occurrence at age 63 and no cases recorded before the age of 40. Although neuropathology is the gold standard for diagnosing definite PSP, certain clinical features, such as vertical supranuclear palsy evident in our patient are highly sensitive and specific. It is frequently seen in PSP and has strong relevance. A combination of clinical characteristics with high specificity is used to diagnose probable PSP. Vertical gaze palsy, pseudobulbar palsy, axial rigidity, falls and cognitive dysfunction are PSP’s clinical hallmarks. Our patient clinical presentation strongly suggested probable PSP with Richardson’s syndrome (PSP-RS), which is the commonest PSP presentations. In front of this atypical and sporadic PS, WD was ruled out as well as other differential diagnoses (anti-DPPX encephalitis). A control brain MRI is planned to look for possible midbrain atrophy that may not be found at the disease’s start. The patient clinical features are evocative arguments of the diagnosis, although the onset at the age of 35 is atypical and original. Conclusion: The onset of PSP after the age of 40 is one of the diagnostic requirements so far, however, early presentation should be considered.

The Role of Cardiac Imaging in Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction
Authors: Gosling Rebecca C , Al-Mohammad Abdallah
Published: June 2022

Heart failure (HF) is a major health burden associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Approximately half of all HF patients have reduced ejection fraction (left ventricular ejection fraction <40%) at rest (HF with reduced ejection fraction). The aetiology of HF is complex, and encompasses a wide range of cardiac conditions, hereditary defects and systemic diseases. Early identification of aetiology is important to allow personalised treatment and prognostication. Cardiac imaging has a major role in the assessment of patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction, and typically incorporates multiple imaging modalities, each with unique but complimentary roles. In this review, the comprehensive role of cardiac imaging in the diagnosis, assessment of aetiology, treatment planning and prognostication of HF with reduced ejection fraction is discussed.

Published: June 2022

Implementation of guideline-directed medical therapy for patients with heart failure is suboptimal. The use of guideline-directed medical therapy improves minimally after heart failure hospitalisation, despite this event clearly indicating increased risk of further hospitalisation and death. In-hospital initiation and titration of guideline-directed medical therapies is one potential strategy to fill these gaps in care, both in the acute vulnerable period after hospital discharge and in the long term. The purpose of this article is to review the knowledge gaps in best practices of in-hospital initiation and up-titration of guideline-directed medical therapies, the benefits and risks of in-hospital initiation and post-discharge focused titration of guideline-directed medical therapies, the recent literature evaluating these practices, and propose strategies to apply these principles to the care of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

It allows increasing uniformity of mineral fertilizer distribution and the machine operating width. Modern design methods make it possible to considerably reduce time and costs.
Nuevos actores culturales en la tradición musical costarricense: La Cimarrona Palmareña (2014)
Authors: Varela Sancho Antonio
Published: June 2022

Las cimarronas surgieron en Costa Rica a partir de las bandas militares y de las filarmonías municipales en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Eran agrupaciones conformadas por máximo ocho integrantes que alegraban las festividadescomunales o “turnos”. Desde entonces, recorren las calles acompañando las mascaradas con un repertorio tradicional de pasodobles y parranderas, entre otros. A finales del siglo XX, estas agrupaciones eran menos comunes y estabanconformadas por integrantes de edad avanzada, sin embargo, del año 2004 a la fecha de este estudio, resurgen con gran fuerza de la mano de jóvenes músicos.La cimarrona ha sido poco estudiada, por lo tanto, el presente artículo se basa principalmente en la oralidad: observaciones dentro del espacio cultural, entrevistas a integrantes de cimarronas actuales y de antaño, reacción del público y registro de grabaciones de audio, vídeo y fotografía. Para contextualizar el estudio, se ha realizado una revisión de publicaciones académicas que examina la llegada y desarrollo,en nuestro continente, de expresiones culturales similares a la cimarrona, como los carnavales, las comparsas, las festividades religiosas populares y los pasacalles.En el presente trabajo, después de analizar la evidencia documental oral y escrita, se establece cómo surge un nuevo actor cultural que se apropia de la tradición de las cimarronas, los jóvenes músicos, quienes mantienen el carácter festivo y tradicional de este tipo de agrupación e integran nuevos repertorios y espacios de ejecución.

Authors: Múnera Gómez Mauricio
Published: June 2022

La investigación doctoral Saberes y prácticas campesinas de sanación: una aproximación a la medicina tradicional en el Norte de Antioquia enfatiza en el estudio de diferentes prácticas de sanación tradicional, a partir de su comprensión como construcciones históricas y culturales, que son y están determinadas por asuntos de orden simbólico. Así, adquiere importancia una mirada comprensiva acerca de cuáles son los acontecimientos y las experiencias, que hacen que un campesino devenga sanador y, a partir de allí, se reconoce la influencia del simbolismo en los procesos de atención a la salud y la enfermedad. Gracias al trabajo de campo, se reconocen diferentes prácticas para el cuidado de la vida y, además, algunas vías de iniciación de ocho sanadores, en los municipios de San Pedro de los Milagros, Don Matías, Belmira, Santa Rosa de Osos y San José de la Montaña. El componente metodológico de la investigación está orientado por la construcción de historias de vida a través de relatos de experiencia, entrevistas en profundidad y observaciones participantes. Se reconoce, entonces, que la formación del sanador no se da de forma intempestiva, sino que tiene que ver con diferentes procesos y situaciones de orden personal y cultural.

Indagación físico-química para la implementación de un método fotométrico de llama para determinar calcio en soluciones parenterales
Authors: Pérez López Esteban , Carranza Rodríguez Johanna
Published: June 2022

El trabajo investigativo consistió en la indagación analítica de una propuesta fotométrica para la determinación de calcio en cinco distintas soluciones parenterales, en un laboratorio (A) del ámbito de la salud en Costa Rica. Primero, se determinó la concentración de calcio presente en las cinco soluciones parenterales mediante un método volumétrico con EDTA en el Laboratorio A, cuyos resultados se tomaron como referencia ya que el método se validó por un ente acreditado para tal fin. Seguidamente, se realizaron pruebas con el método fotométrico recomendado por el proveedor del fotómetro en el mismo Laboratorio A y en estas, se presentaron problemas de precisión y exactitud; por lo que, se acudió a la realización de las pruebas en un Laboratorio B con un instrumento idéntico, en el cual no ocurrieron problemas de precisión. Los resultados de ambos laboratorios se compararon estadísticamente con una prueba de t-Student y se afirmó que existe suficiente evidencia estadística para decir que la diferencia entre los resultados de ambos laboratorios es significativa. Aun así, se mantuvieron interferencias irremediables fotométricamente, en las matrices de estudio. Se determinó que el sodio ocasiona una interferencia generadora de mayor intensidad en la emisión, que  produce un error positivo en la concentración de calcio esperada. Por último, se confirmó la idoneidad del método para cuantificar calcio por fotometría de llama en otra matriz libre de sodio, y se obtuvieron resultados satisfactorios para el contenido de calcio.
Georges Bataille tras los pasos de Nietzsche: ética de la soberanía
Authors: Schutijser Dennis
Published: June 2022

Friedrich Nietzsche ha sido responsable de una profunda reproblematización de la moral moderna. Tanto el actor autónomo y racional como punto de partida, como la apelación de la moral a la universalidad y su estrecho enfoque en el acto han sido criticados por Nietzsche. Por lo tanto, surge la pregunta: ¿qué se puede aún decir hoy en cuanto a la ética? El filósofo francés Georges Bataille asume el desafío de hablar de ética después de Nietzsche. Él ofrece una traducción válida de la problematización nietzscheana sobre la moral hacia el siglo XX, y con ello realiza un aporte importante en el campo de la ética después de la crítica de la moral moderna, así como del sujeto después del fin del sujeto moderno como individuo racional y autónomo. Al mismo tiempo, Bataille permite repensar la ética a partir de una antropología posthumanista y una ética postmoral. En ellas, el individuo y la moral se ven al mismo tiempo anulados y reconfirmados en un movimiento de transgresión y en relación con el mal. Así, Bataille permite tomar posición en contra de las corrientes contemporáneas en la filosofía moral tal como el subjetivismo y el relativismo, frutos de la crisis de la moral desde Nietzsche.

Published: June 2022

El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar el estado nutricional de preescolares costarricenses. Se evaluaron 200 preescolares (100 niños y 100 niñas), edades comprendidas entre los 5 a 6 años de edad (5,6 ± 0,29 años). La evaluación del estado nutricional se realizó por medio de los indicadores antropométricos talla para la edad (T/E) e IMC (kg/m2) según sexo y edad. Los valores antropométricos medios obtenidos para niños y niñas fueron: edad (5,7 ± 0,3 vs 5,6 ± 0,3 años), peso (22,2 ± 6,9 vs 18,7 ± 4,4 kg), talla (1,1 ± 6,5 vs 1,1 ± 4,1 m), IMC (15,9 ± 1,7 vs 15,5 ± 1,7 kg/m2), respectivamente. El peso de los niños fue significativamente mayor (p<0,05) que el de las niñas, mientras que la edad, la talla e IMC no mostraron diferencia significativa entre los preescolares. La prevalencia del estado nutricional para los niños y niñas fue: baja talla 4% vs 5%, talla normal 90% vs 90%, talla alta 6% vs 5%, bajo peso 8% vs 6%, peso normal 72% vs 85%, sobrepeso 16% vs 8% y obesidad 4% vs 1% respectivamente.

Authors: García García María Isabel , Cuadrado Jara
Published: June 2022

La violencia contra las mujeres es una realidad que ha estado presente a lo largo de la historia en diferentes civilizaciones, pero solo en los últimos años ha empezado a ocupar un espacio en la agenda política. Las prácticas violentas contra las mujeres y niñas se vuelven más acusadas en aquellas sociedades donde están presentes otros factores, como la desigualdad social y económica, la debilidad de las instituciones o la persistencia de una cultura patriarcal. En este sentido, Nigeria es uno de los países más vulnerables. Esta situación se ha agravado tras la irrupción del grupo terrorista Boko Haram en las regiones del norte, las más desfavorecidas del país. Boko Haram ha desarrollado una estrategia desconocida hasta la fecha en la zona, basada en el reclutamiento y utilización de mujeres y niñas en su estrategia de terror. Se trata de un fenómeno poco estudiado, por lo que en el siguiente trabajo se plantea conocer los motivos que llevan al grupo a emplear a mujeres y niñas para propagar el terrorismo, las técnicas que utilizan y el rol que estas ocupan dentro del grupo. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es presentar la prevención como una herramienta de paz duradera. Para ello, se plantean las siguientes líneas de investigación. En primer lugar, se analiza el papel de la mujer en la sociedad nigeriana como un actor clave en la prevención de la violencia. En segundo lugar, se estudia el potencial de la organización regional de la zona, la Comunidad Económica de Estados de África Occidental (CEDEAO), para poner en práctica medidas preventivas relacionadas con el reclutamiento de mujeres. De esta forma, a través de un estudio de caso, se analizará este fenómeno, que ha propiciado un aumento de la violencia en África occidental. Esta investigación se apoya en entrevistas a expertos, fuentes secundarias y bases de datos e informes de reconocidas organizaciones, como Human Rights Watch, Global Terrorism Database, ONU mujeres o el Fondo de Población para Naciones Unidas (UNFPA por sus siglas en inglés).

Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine the learning curve for liver wedge resection performed as part of cytoreductive surgery in advanced ovarian malignant tumors. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 120 women diagnosed with stage IIIC ovarian cancer according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) classification: 22 underwent liver wedge resection as part of cytoreductive surgery (Group A), while 98 did not require liver surgery (Group B). In the study, the t-Student test was used for variables with normal distribution and the Mann−Whitney U test was utilized for increment and abnormally distributed variables. The variables categorized were shown as a number of cases (n) and a percentage (%), and compared using the chi-square test, with a p-value <0.05 considered significant. A cumulative sum control chart (CUSUM) method was used to investigate the learning curves in both groups and the entire cohort. Results: There were no significant differences in the operating time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospitalization or minor and severe adverse effects between the Groups A and B. The operative time, total blood loss, and incidence of adverse effects showed a similar learning curve for Group B and the entire cohort. Conclusion: It is safe and feasible for gynecologic oncologists to perform wedge liver resections as part of cytoreductive surgery in women with advanced ovarian tumors.

Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) of the uterine cervix is a rare type of cervical cancer. The etiopathogenesis of cervical LELC involves consideration of the human papillomavirus (HPV) and Epstein–Barr virus infection. We present the case of a 57-year-old female diagnosed with a unique HPV-59 with the absence of Epstein–Barr virus, which is characteristic for European women. The treatment included a radical hysterectomy with nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy, which has not been used in patients with LELC so far. Complementary treatment included combined radiotherapy and cisplatin infusion.

Over the past decade, a growing interest of consumers in the consumption of organic milk has been recognized, mostly because of its positive effect on human health, besides other various positive effects. The main goal of organic milk production is to bring agricultural production in close alignment with the requirements of a sustainable system. Human capital in organic farming is an important factor as it significantly influences production and financial results. As an important factor in the production, socio-economic characteristics of producers considerably determine possibilities of the future development of this system of production in a certain country. Focusing on the aspect of human capital, this paper examines the possibilities of the development of organic agricultural production in the Republic of Serbia. The research has been conducted on the territory of Serbia on individual farms which are certified for organic farming. Following the findings, the authors conclude that human capital in organic milk production of the Republic of Serbia does not represent a limiting factor in the future development of this system and that human capital in terms of learning and education, experience and expertise, innovation and creativity, and sources of knowledge has a positive relationship with the business performance.

Published: June 2022

Parliamentary representation of political parties is nowadays becoming an important field of activity of every grouping. Members of Parliament, following the standards of party charters, become an element of party elite, holding the official positions in collegiate organs. Personal changes in the parliament then mean changes in the party elite. The goal of the article is defining the scale of the phenomenon of debut Members of Parliament in the years of 2011, 2015 and 2019. The research question which the author was faced with is the question about the scale of the phenomenon of debut Members of Parliament and its consequences for the demographic structure of the Polish Sejm and the particular party representations in the parliament, defined as party elites. Detailed questions concern: the importance of parliamentary representatives in contemporary political groupings; defining whether the scale of the phenomenon in 2015 was significantly different from the election results from 2011 and 2019. The established hypotheses assume that: the important of parliamentary representation in contemporary parties is on a constant growth on the formal level and also within the political praxis, and consequently, Members of Parliament can be called party elites. Another hypothesis assumes that the phenomenon of debut MPs has stood out quantitatively in the analyzed period of time, nevertheless, it has not changed the demographic structure of the parliament dramatically, concerning the other two analyzed terms. The period of the analysis concerns the three parliamentary elections in 2011, 2015 and 2019, which allowed to pick up on the possible tendency of the phenomenon.
