Életútinterjú Filvig Istvánnal
Authors: Gárdos Judit , Vajda Róza
Published: December 2022

A közelmúlt biztosítástörténetének mind teljesebb feltárása és bemutatása érdekében a MABISZ elhatározta, hogy létrehozza a biztosítástörténeti Oral History Archívumot az elmúlt évtizedek kiváló szakembereivel, vezetőivel készített, filmre rögzített ún. életútinterjúk anyagából, amely elsősorban kutatási, másodsorban kommunikációs célokat szolgál. A Biztosítás és Kockázat Szerkesztősége úgy döntött, az Oral History anyagaiból – „Életutak” címmel – az interjúk rövidített és szerkesztett változatát rendszeresen közreadja. Mostani interjúalanyunk Filvig István, aki Bécsben matematikusként kezdte biztosítói pályáját az Anker Allgemeine Versicherungs-AG-nál. 1989-ben részt vett a Providencia Osztrák-Magyar Biztosító Rt. megalapításában, ő lett a társaság vezérigazgató-helyettese, 1993 és 2011 között pedig a Signal Biztosító elnök-vezérigazgatója volt.
Nyugdíjrendszerek és nyugdíj-előtakarékossági formák a visegrádi országokban
Authors: Vaskövi Ágnes , Ráduly Dóra
Published: December 2022

A tanulmány célja bemutatni a visegrádi országok nyugdíjrendszereit, felfedni a kötelező állami és a tőkefedezeti nyugdíj-előtakarékossági pillérek hasonlóságait és különbségeit. A V4-ek közös történelmi, földrajzi és gazdasági gyökereikre tekintettel természetesen összehasonlítható csoportnak tekinthetők, ezért esett a választásunk ennek a négy országnak a vizsgálatára. Megállapítottuk, hogy a kötelező állami nyugdíjbiztosítás minden országban viseli a rendszerváltás előtti sajátosságokat, bár azóta több reformintézkedés is történt. Magyarország, Szlovákia és Csehország kötelező, állami, PAYG rendszert tart fenn az időskori nyugdíjasjövedelmek gyűjtésére és kifizetésére, Lengyelországban néhány évvel ezelőtt tértek át az I. pillérrel az eszmei járulékkal meghatározott (NDC) rendszerre. Eltérő gazdasági és politikai indíttatásból mind a négy ország megpróbálkozott a kötelező DC II. pillérrel, de mára ezek marginális szerepűvé váltak, és sehol sem kötelezők. A III. pillér valamennyi visegrádi országban jelen van, Magyarországon és Csehországban megfelelő állami ösztönzők állnak az önkéntes megtakarítások mögött, míg Szlovákiában az önkéntes megtakarítások általános elterjedése még várat magára. Lengyelországban számos megtakarítási forma áll a nyugdíj-előtakarékoskodók rendelkezésére, talán éppen ez teszi nehézkessé a választást. A tanulmányban megvizsgáljuk a nyugdíjrendszerek és az időskori szegénység összefüggéseit, gondolatébresztésként egy következő tanulmányban való részletes kifejtéshez.
Több-állapotú frakcionális modellek a biztosításban
Authors: Bodolai Előd István
Published: December 2022

A 2010-es években egyre több kutatás középpontjában szerepeltek a frakcionális modellek. Ebben a tanulmányban egy olyan egészségbiztosítási modellt mutatunk be, ahol a biztosítottak egészségügyi állapotát egy Markov-lánc fázistér-elemeinek feleltetjük meg, míg az időparaméternek egy stabilis Lévy-szubordinátor inverzfolyamatát választjuk. Az így nyert duplán sztochasztikus modellben az idő múlását befolyásolhatjuk bizonyos szakaszon felgyorsítva, illetve megállítva azt. Ez a megközelítés konstrukcióját tekintve hasonló a szubordinált Brown-mozgás pénzügyi felhasználásához. A modell gyakorlati jelentőségét és paraméterérzékenységét egy konkrét egészségbiztosítási terméken keresztül mutatjuk be annak árazásában és matematikai tartalékképzésében. A szakirodalom ismertetésén túlmenően az eredményeken néhány helyen pontosításokat, javításokat végeztünk.
A határbiztosítás rövid története és aktuális kérdései a magyar és európai biztosítási gyakorlatban
Authors: Rumi Tamás
Published: December 2022

A határbiztosítás intézménye a gépjármű-biztosítások területén belül is igen speciális és elszigetelt jelenség. Az írás célja a kötelező gépjármű-felelősségbiztosítás speciális alakzata, a határbiztosítás történetének rövid áttekintése, a határbiztosítás aktuális kérdéseinek vizsgálata, valamint a legújabb gyakorlati, szakmai tapasztalatok ismertetése, kitérve az orosz-ukrán háború által okozott kihívásokra is. Az írás – elsősorban terjedelmi okokból – nem célozza a határbiztosítás intézményének átfogó, történeti előzményekre és Európán kívüli vonatkozásokra is kitérő részletes elemzését, sem pedig a vonatkozó szakirodalom tudományos igényű feldolgozását, hanem rövid történeti áttekintés mellett elsősorban a napi gyakorlat és az európai geopolitikai fejleményekből következő különleges kihívások bemutatására koncentrál.

Processos compensatórios e subjetividade de pessoas com dislexia na universidade: contribuições da teoria histórico-cultural
Authors: Freitas Clariane do Nascimento de , Costas Fabiane Adela Tonetto
Published: December 2022

Este texto constitui-se como recorte de uma tese de doutorado em Educação. Tal estudo fundamentou-se na Teoria Histórico-Cultural e, em especial, nos conceitos vigotskianos de tomada de consciência e processos compensatórios e no conceito de subjetividade de González-Rey. Objetivou compreender como os processos compensatórios e a subjetividade podem influenciar a forma como as pessoas com dislexia se constituem em seu processo de aprendizagem na Educação Superior. Os sujeitos da pesquisa são estudantes de cursos de graduação de uma universidade federal da região sul do Brasil e possuem diagnóstico de dislexia. Adotando uma abordagem qualitativa, utilizou-se como método o estudo de casos múltiplos e a coleta de dados realizou-se por entrevistas semiestruturadas. A análise dos dados se deu por meio da técnica de Análise de Conteúdo. Optou-se por evidenciar os resultados da categoria referente aos conceitos da Teoria Histórico-Cultural mencionados. Compreendeu-se que a subjetividade está em constante formação e transformação, que se constitui a partir da tomada de consciência e das vivências de cada sujeito que são impregnadas de sentido. Os sujeitos com dislexia são motivados pelas próprias dificuldades a buscar estratégias e processos compensatórios para acessar o conhecimento, aprender e também demonstrar essa aprendizagem. Concluiu-se que a subjetividade, por se constituir a partir das vivências e dos sentidos a ela atribuídos, influencia as atitudes de cada sujeito. Consequentemente, influencia a mobilização desses sujeitos em busca de estratégias e recursos para sua aprendizagem, com vistas a compensar as dificuldades pertinentes à dislexia.
ACTIVE CONTROL OF VERTICAL ACCELERATION WITH T-FOIL AND TRIM TAB SYSTEMS IN A FAST FERRY
Authors: ŞAHİN Ömer Sinan , İTİK Mehmet
Published: December 2022

This study is concerned with the active T-foil placed near the bow on the keel line of the fast ferry and two active trim tab controls placed at the stern to improve the maritime performance of a fast ferry, whilst improving the comfort and safety of passengers and crew. In the scope of the study, the vertical direction of the fast ferry under the random head waves, heave and pitch motions were taken into account. For the control of T-foil and trim Tabs, PID and LQR control methods were used. The purpose of these controllers is to reduce the acceleration of the heave and pitch motions of the fast ferry by changing the operating angles of the T-foil and trim tab wings. A random wave model was created using the Pierson-Moskowitz model, and simulations were done assuming that the fast ferry was subjected to random head waves. Finally, in order to see the effect of vertical acceleration on passengers, the rate of seasickness (MSI) change of the fast ferry in uncontrolled and controlled states was examined. Mathematical models of fast ferry, T-foil and trim tab and their simulations were carried out in MATLAB / Simulink environment. The simulation results show that T-foil and trim tab Active systems can effectively reduce vertical acceleration by improving heave and pitch motions.

Published: December 2022

Introduction: These vital components of cognitive, behavioural, and emotional well-being states to mental health. Public universities mostly stress on students because of financial constraints (Shafiq S, & et al., 2020). The purpose of this investigation was to find out the gender differences on mental health (MH) in the college students.  
Method: 130 participants perusing their degree courses in Arts in various colleges of Cuttack and Bhubaneswar of Odisha, India. To find out the significance mean variance among the groups t-test was considered.
Result and Discussion: The analysing data reveals that the Positive self-evaluation (P>0.05), perception of reality (P>0.05), integration of personality (P<0.05), autonomy (P<0.05), oriented attitude (P<0.05), and environmental mastery (P<0.05). The result revealed that male students are differing from female college students such as integration of personality, autonomy, group oriented attitude and environmental mastery. However, in case of positive self-evaluation and perception of reality the result is found to be insignificant.
Conclusion: It is concluded that the male college students are not differing from female college students with regard to positive self-evaluation (PSE) and perception of reality (PSE). Furthermore, concluded that the male college students are differing from female college students such as; integration of personality (IP), Autonomy dimension of MH, group oriented attitude and case of environmental mastery.

Authors: Ishchenko Alla , Stuchynska Nataliia , Tolmachova Valentyna
Published: December 2022

The paper provides a theoretically substantiated scope, structure, criteria and indices of the chemical safety competence of future doctors in the course of studying bioorganic and biological chemistry. There is a motivation-value component (formedness of steady inner drives and understanding of the practical value of interpreting and applying biochemical aspects of chemical safety to the medical and preventative activities of future doctors), a cognitive component (knowing the substantive aspects – ‘Modern Chemical Safety Ideas’ and ‘Biochemical Aspects of Chemical Safety’) and an activity component (using the chemical safety knowledge, capabilities and skills) to be singled out in the structure of the chemical safety competence of future doctors. There are set requirements to the indices and levels (low, average, adequate, high) of the formedness of the motivation-value, cognitive and activity criteria of the chemical safety competence of future doctors in the course of studying bioorganic and biological chemistry.
The article describes the methods of forming the competence of future doctors in chemical safety during the study of bioorganic and biological chemistry, suggests the use of modern teaching methods (designing, solving situational tasks, performing laboratory studies simulating the effects of harmful chemicals, testing), pedagogical methods ( interpretation of the concepts of biochemical trends of chemical safety, video lectures and methodical instructions are provided for independent study by students), work in groups and individual work.

Authors: Suanno Marilza Vanessa Rosa
Published: December 2022

Neste artigo, apresentam-se, de modo conjugado, resultados de três pesquisas de cunho teórico e empírico intituladas: “Trabalho docente e pedagogia universitária sob a ótica do pensamento complexo e da transdisciplinaridade” (CEP-UFG nº 331/2011-2015); “Formação de professores e didática emergente” (CEP-UFG PI02868/2018-2023); e “Campo didático em contraposição ao neoliberalismo e ao neotecnicismo: apontamentos sobre perspectivas interculturais, complexas, transdisciplinares e sensíveis” (UFNT, 2021). A introdução se dá ao se apresentarem conceitos de Complexidade (MORIN, 2011) e de Multirreferencialidade (ARDOINO, 1995, 1998) e, na sequência, expõem-se quatro didáticas críticas emergentes que dialogam com tais conceitos: Didática Intercultural (CANDAU, 2021), Didática multidimensional (PIMENTA, 2021), Didática Complexa e Transdisciplinar (SUANNO, 2015) e Didática Sensível (D’ÁVILA, 2018, 2021). Essas perspectivas são distintas, havendo algumas aproximações por conceberem educação como prática social em perspectiva emancipadora. Além disso, anunciam rupturas paradigmáticas e outras vias e sentidos para ressignificar e reorganizar a educação, o ensino e a formação de professores.

Semiotic analysis of cultural representations in Iranian English textbooks
Authors: Safari Parvin , Pourhashemi Mohammad Razagh
Published: December 2022

The Peircean semiotic approach suggests a non-linear and dynamic view of culture to examine it through signs, sign systems and meaning-making processes. This approach emphasises that images, texts and tasks are considered semiotic resources, generating cultural meanings through semiotic processes. This study aims to reveal the concept of culture in a dynamic manner concerning the semiotic potential embedded in the Iranian EFL textbooks used in junior high schools from the perspective of a semiotic framework. Semiotic analysis showed that cultural meaning-making is directed through guided semiosis, hampering students’ exploration of cultural potential meanings, cultural reflection, understanding and awareness. The denotational and the indexical relationship between texts and images also does not foster students’ intercultural understanding of living and maintaining in a global community, and hence, teachers need to move towards the symbolic aspect of texts and images through unguided semiosis to develop students’ cultural understanding of self and others.

Keywords: Cultural, English textbooks, Peircean, semiotic, unguided semiosis;
Antibiotic effectiveness on biofilm-producing Escherichia coli isolated from catheterized patients
Authors: Gunardi Wani D , Dharmawan Ade , Layanto Nicolas
Published: December 2022

Biofilm is one of the factors that facilitate the occurrence of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). Escherichia coli is reported as one of the most dominant bacteria that have virulence factors including biofilm formation. Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) shows increasing resistance to several antibiotics. Examination of the antibiotic sensitivity on the biofilm-producing E. coli and its activity on biofilm formation are important for selecting high effectiveness antibiotics which is beneficial for the management of CAUTI patients. A total of 35 E. coli isolates were recultured in the medium of LB agar and blood agar. The isolates were evaluated the sensitivity based on their MIC value to several antibiotics. In addition, the antibiofilm activity of the antibiotics based on their MBIC value was also evaluated. The data obtained were analyzed both descriptively and analytically. Almost the E. coli isolates have good sensitivity to meropenem antibiotics, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, and Fosfomycin. However, among the evaluated antibiotics, only fosfomycin that showed antibiofilm activity. The different in terms of the resistance phenotype between the urinary isolates and the catheter isolates was observed. However, there were no significantly differences in the MIC value (pMIC=0.522) and the MBIC value (pMBIC = 0.523). In conclusion, the alternatives of antibiotic therapy for the planktonic bacteria are amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and fosfomycin, while for the biofilm bacteria is fosfomycin. A biofilm screening examination on the catheter to improve the effectiveness of therapy management for CAUTI patients is recommended.

Application of Standard and Exponential Grey Forecasting Models on Turkeys Education Expenditures
Authors: Akyuz Levent , Bilgil Halis
Published: December 2022

Grey System Theory predicts the behaviour of unknown systems using a small amount of data. Grey System Theory is an
interdisciplinary science field and has been successfully applied to many fields. In this study, the Grey System Theory is used to
estimate Turkey’s education expenditures. Turkey’s education expenditure data were taken from the Turkish Statistical Institute for the
years of 2011-2020. It has been estimated for the years of 2021-2030 using Standard Grey Model (GM (1,1)) and Exponential Grey
Model (EXGM (1,1)). The percentage relative error (RPE) between the actual and the predicted values. Also, the mean absolute
percentage error (MAPE) were determined using the actual and the predicted data from 2011-2020.
Consequently, the MAPE values were calculated as 3,32 % and 3,09 % for GM (1,1) and EXGM (1,1) models, respectively. R
2 value
which shows the correlation between the actual and predicted values was determined as 0,9845 and 0,9846 for GM (1,1) and EXGM
(1,1), respectively. It has been determined that the estimation precision of the EXGM (1,1) method is higher according to calculated
errors and R
2 values. Accordingly, education expenditures were estimated for the years 2021-2030. Hereby, it is predicted that our
country’s education expenditures will increase exponentially in the next 10 years.

Classification of Leaf Disease via Deep Neural Network combined with Clustering Algorithm
Authors: Qumsiyeh Emma Mamdouh , Sabha Muath Naji
Published: December 2022

The agricultural sector in Palestine has a significant role in its economy. However, the production of this sector is affected by different kinds of plant diseases, specifically leaf diseases. Automatic agricultural leaf disease detection is essential for the early diagnosis and controls the overall health of fields. Image segmentation techniques, clustering, and deep learning are often used to detect diseased leaves. This study proposes a novel hybrid approach based on image classification. The hybrid approach combines the k-means clustering algorithm with Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), where k-means is used to detect the leaf’s infected area, then CNN is used for specifying the disease. We used the PlantVillage dataset for experimental verification as it contains several crops with different kinds of challenging diseases. We also examined the selection of optimal k-value using the Silhouette coefficient, Elbow method, and Kneedle Algorithm. The Silhouette technique was analyzed using three distance metrics; Euclidean, Manhattan, and Cosine. Its scores for the three-distance metrics were low, near-zero, and failed to produce the optimum k value. Besides, the Elbow method was complicated to use in image segmentation in terms of executing and visualizing the k value in its graph plot. Based on verification results, the Kneedle Algorithm produced better results in the consistency of choosing the optimal k value and showed superiority over other approaches. Therefore, the processed images were segmented with the k-means clustering algorithm with a Kneedle algorithm-based k value. Finally, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is trained to classify the type of disease based on analyzing and testing leaf images. The hybrid model achieved high accuracy of 93.79% in disease identification, confirming the proposed model’s robustness.

Background: Fast and accurate diagnosis plays an important role in controlling and further preventing COVID-19. This study was conducted in the Thumbay laboratory of Gulf Medical University (Ajman, UAE) to assess the correlations between DPI (Diffractive Phase Interferometry), COVID-19 RT-PCR, and CRP tests in COVID-19 patients of different ages and to compare the effectiveness of each parameter. Methods and Results: A cross-sectional analytic study was conducted among 150 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 who were admitted to the Thumbay University Hospital. Their general data was collected from the LDM system, and from among the suspected patients who came to do the RT-PCR test, 230 were selected as volunteers to participate in this study, and further laboratory tests like CRP level and DPI test were done for them. The nasal swab was collected for a PCR test. Out of 230 nasal swab samples, 150 were positive and 80 were negative for SARS-CoV-2 RNA by real-time RT-PCR assay. Among the 150 positive RT-PCR, 90 false negative DPI tests were from a sample with a high real-time RT-PCR. While 60 true positive DPI tests were positive real-time RT-PCR for swab specimens. Among the 80 negative RT-PCR, 79 were true negative and 1 was a false positive. The predictive positive value of the DPI test was 40% and the predictive negative value of the test was 98%. DPI has at least one tie between the positive actual state group and the negative actual state group. The results show weak and moderate positive correlations between CRP and the age groups. Conclusion: The combined detection of the three indicators (RT-PCR, DPI, and CRP) are positively related to COVID-19 infection; therefore, these indicators will enable effective intervention measures to be implemented in time and the rates of severe illness and mortality to be reduced.

Published: December 2022

Background: Most COVID-19 patients experience a mild form of the disease, but there is a certain percentage of patients who progress to a very severe disease state that requires intensive care and invasive ventilation. In order to ensure better patient management and improved outcomes, early identification of patients who may be at a higher risk of severe infection can play an important role. The aim of this study was to assess the association between the mean procalcitonin (PCT) level and comorbidity in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Methods and Results: A total of 231 COVID-19-positive patients aged between 20 and 82 years (170[73.6 %] males and 61[26.4%] females) were included in this study. Serum PCT was accessed by procalcitonin assay using the Beckman Coulter UniCel DxI 800 instrument. Eighty-seven (37.7%) patients had no chronic disease, while 144(62.3%) had comorbidities: hypertension (37[16.0%]), diabetes mellitus (44[19.0%]), a combination of diabetes mellitus with hypertension (32[13.9%]), asthma (6[2.6%]), hyperlipidemia (4[1.7%]), renal disease (1[0.4%]), and COPD (1[0.4%]). COVID-19 patients with diabetes in combination with hypertension had a statistically greater PCT level than COVID-19 patients without comorbidities (P=0.0273). However, there were no statistically significant differences in the mean PCT level between different age categories (P=0 .7390). The serum PCT measurement could evaluate the prognosis of the disease in some COVID-19 patients.

The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of n-butanol, petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, methanol, and chloroform extracts of the sponges and leaves of different mangrove species (Bruguiera cylindrica, Suaeda maritima, Ceriops decandra, Avicennia officinalis, Rhizophora apiculata, Suaeda monoica, Avicennia marina, and Rhizohora mucronata) against Proteus mirabilis ATCC 7002. Methods and Results: Agar well diffusion method was used to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of selected mangrove extracts. The active compounds from mangrove sponges and leaves with various solvents were examined under Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The ethyl acetate extracts, methanol extracts, chloroform extracts, n-butanol extracts, and petroleum ether extracts of selected mangrove leaves (B. cylindrical, S. maritime, A. officinalis, S. monoica, A. marina, R. mucronata) showed good antibacterial activity against P. mirabilis ATCC 7002. FTIR analysis of crude methanol extract of S. monoica showed the presence of amide and alkane groups in phytochemicals. For crude methanol extract of R. mucronata, the presence of phenol, nitro, amide, and alkane groups was revealed. Conclusion: the results obtained revealed industrially important mangrove extracts and the functional groups of plant compounds responsible for great antibacterial activity.
Knowledge of Infection Control in Ultrasound Examination: A Cross-sectional Survey Study among Sudanese Sonographic Specialists
Authors: Gareeballah Awadia
Published: December 2022

Background: Ultrasonography is one of the imaging modalities associated with the risk of healthcare-associated infection. Therefore, ultrasound specialists must maintain infection control standards and adherence to ultrasound infection control guidelines. Methods and Results: A cross-sectional survey was conducted through an online questionnaire to assess the knowledge of Sudanese sonographic specialists on infection control in ultrasonography. Participants who agreed to participate and complete the survey numbered 110. The result of the study demonstrate that the knowledge of infection control guidelines was average (26.93±3.79) among Sudanese sonographic specialists; the mean score of knowledge was 4.52±1.12 (moderate level), 12.51±1.96 (moderate level), 5.70±2.02 (low level), and 4.63±1.10 (average level) for ultrasound equipment, probe, gel bottles, and personal infection control precautions, respectively. Of the study participants, 70% knew that endovaginal and endocavitory probes were decontaminated by liquid chemical sterilant after each use, and 78.18% reported that the HLD was used for cleaning and disinfecting equipment in contact with mucous membranes. In addition, 91.82% of participants agreed that sterile gel is highly recommended for intervention procedures, and 89.09% were aware of proper respiratory hygiene and coughing protocol. 41.82% of respondents were aware that personal protective equipment (PPE) is advised for cleaning and sanitizing ultrasonic equipment, and only 31.82% believed that non-sterile gel is insufficient if the transducer is in contact with non-intact skin. Conclusion: The knowledge of infection control in ultrasound is average among Sudanese sonographic specialists, with a poor understanding of some ultrasound-gel infection control guidelines and safety aspects.
Hair Loss and Androgen’s Role in the Era of COVID-19
Authors: Hussein Ramadan
Published: December 2022

The new coronavirus (SARS-COV2), which causes coronavirus illness, has expanded globally, impacting millions of individuals. In comparison to female patients, males have a higher prevalence, morbidity, and death rate from this condition, according to international statistics. Androgens have been implicated in the pathophysiology of COVID-19. This review's objective is to explain the potential connection between the pathophysiology of androgen and the infectivity mechanism of the coronavirus as well as the association between SARS-COV2 and hair disorders. This might assist in clarifying androgen's involvement in COVID-19 prognosis and therapy.

—The paper presents data on the classification, structure, and biota of reef complexes from the Late Ordovician–early Silurian Altai Basin. The early Paleozoic history of the Altai Basin included the early–middle Katian, late Katian, early Hirnantian, late Telychian, and middle–late Sheinwoodian events of large-scale reef formation which produced framework reefs, mud mounds, and coral meadows. The early Paleozoic reefs of the area formed at rates of 40 to ~12 cm per thousand years. The late Telychian reef system, which formed in 0.51–1.0 Myr, occupied the largest area of the basin. The lateral extent of reef systems in the Late Ordovician–early Silurian basin of Altai depended more on the rates of vertical and lateral growth, as well as on the previous sea bottom topography and clastic inputs, than on the duration of reef formation. Carbonate deposition in the Altai basins of that time can be simulated with a general model implying formation of distal barrier reefs.
Features of Online Second Language Interactional Competence in a German-Israeli Virtual Exchange
Authors: Drixler Nils
Published: December 2022

Virtual Exchange (VE) is a method of intercultural online learning in which groups of learners collaborate with partners from another culture or geographical area in joint projects. Lingua Franca VEs combine numerous advantages, such as the acquisition of digital and intercultural skills, and further create an environment in which the foreign language is used in an authentic and immersive setting. Although VE is a highly communicative method, Second Language Interactional Competence (L2 IC) has barely been subjected to scientific scrutiny in this context yet.

By investigating the first thirty minutes of ten initial student group meetings, this cross-sectional study explores the interactional resources that participants display during online talk-in-interaction. Multimodal Conversation Analysis is applied to the data consisting of GAT2 transcriptions of recorded ZOOM video conferences. These online meetings between EFL undergraduate students in secondary school teacher training are part of the VE project Extended Telecollaboration Practice (Waldman, Harel & Schwab, 2019) between Israel and Germany which was initiated in 2015 and is still on-going.

This paper depicts the online-specific strategies that EFL-students adopt in order to gain common ground. Further, it will argue that some L2 IC features, such as turn-taking and multilingual resources, come with particular dynamics and characteristics in a VE context.

Abstract
Objectives Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion leads to brain tissue injury. Inflammation and apoptosis play pivotal roles in the pathology. α-Pinene is an organic compound of many aromatic plants and is known as a potent agent to possess antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Here, we sought to identify the anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptosis mechanism by which α-Pinene improves brain ischemia injury.
Methods Male Wistar rats underwent MCAO surgery for 1 hour and different doses of alpha-pinene (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg) were intraperitoneally injected immediately after reperfusion to test this hypothesis. IV, NDS, gene and protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p65, and caspase-3 were assessed 24h after reperfusion.
Key findings Results demonstrated that NF-κB p65, iNOS, and COX-2 gene and protein expression increased in the hippocampus, cortex, and striatum after 24 h of reperfusion, and alpha-pinene significantly inhibited NF-kB p65, iNOS, and COX-2 expression. Also, alpha-pinene significantly reduced the ischemia/reperfusion-induced caspase-3 activation in CA1 area of hippocampus.
Conclusions Results showed that alpha-pinene protects the cerebral against ischemic damage caused by MCAO, and this effect may be through the regulating iNOS -NF-kappa B- COX-2 and caspas-3 inflammatory and apoptotic pathways.
