ATTITUDES TOWARDS ROMGLISH IN ONLINE DISCOURSE
Authors: OLTEAN-CÎMPEAN Alina
Published: December 2022

Attitudes towards Romglish in Online Discourse. As English has become a global language, it has also become the language of computer-mediated communication. The online medium has offered the ideal space for English to enter in contact with multiple other languages and, as a result, to contribute to the formation of new varieties. In Romania, this new variety is Romgleză or Romglish, a combination of Romanian and English that is used especially by, but not limited to the younger generations. However, language change does not come easy and, although it has been around for quite a while, Romglish is still considered as improper by some. The present paper analyses two sets of online comments in order to identify attitudes towards Romglish and the language ideologies behind them. To this end, monoglossic ideologies, such as the standard language ideology (Milroy 2001) and the purist ideology (Langer & Davies 2005) will be taken as references when analysing the online comments. The data focuses mainly on two online sources: the Știrile Kanal D Facebook page and an Elforum thread, and it shows that rather than singular and static, language ideologies are multiple and rather fluid, with many online users displaying both monoglossic and heteroglossic ideologies.

REZUMAT. Atitudini relativ la romgleza din discursul online. Engleza este atât o limbă globală cât și limba comunicării mediate de calculator. Mediul online a oferit un spațiu ideal pentru ca engleza să intre în contact cu numeroase alte limbi și, astfel, să contribuie la formarea unor noi varietăți. În România, această nouă varietate este romgleza sau Romglish, o combinație între română și engleză care este folosită mai ales de către tânăra generație, dar nu numai. Schimbarea însă nu este ușoară și, deși există de ceva vreme, romgleza este considerată încă nepotrivită de către unele persoane. Prezenta lucrare analizează două seturi de comentarii online pentru a identifica atitudini față de romgleză și ideologiile lingvistice care le influențează. În acest scop, ideologii monoglose, precum ideologia limbii standard (Milroy 2001) și ideologia puristă (Langer & Davies 2005) vor fi luate în considerare. Datele culese sunt din două surse online: pagina de Facebook pentru Știrile Kanal D și discuția de la o postare de pe Elforum. Acestea arată că ideologiile lingvistice nu sunt singulare și statice, ci multiple și mai degrabă fluide, utilizatorii online prezentând atât ideologii monoglose cât și heteroglose.

TALKING ABOUT EXAMS. DISCURSIVE IDENTITIES OF ROMANIAN YOUTUBERS
Authors: VARGA Cristina
Published: December 2022

Talking about Exams. Discursive Identities of Romanian Youtubers. The main objective of the present study is to analyse the construction of discursive identity on YouTube in young youtubers’ talks about preparing for the A-level exam. Its theoretical framework is based on the socio-communicative model described by Patrick Charaudeau (1992, 1993, 1994, 2000, 2002, 2005, 2006), using specifically the description of the construction of the speaker’s identity. Thus, a model of analysis of Romanian youtubers’ identities was developed. This model brings together in the discursive construction of the speaker’s identity both the social identity and the discursive identity. With regard to the discursive identity, its components “credibility” and “gaining attention” were also analysed. Within each component, their specific attitudes were also analysed (Charaudeau 2009). The present research has been successful in outlining the way in which the speaker’s identity is constructed within a specific communication situation.

REZUMAT. Discuții despre examene. Identități discursive ale youtuberilor români. Obiectivul principal al acestui studiu îl reprezintă analiza construcțiilor discursive ale identității în discuțiile tinerilor despre examenul de Bac, pe rețeaua socială YouTube. Cadrul teoretic ales se bazează pe modelul socio-comunicativ de analiză a discursului descris de Patrick Charaudeau (1992, 1993, 1994, 2000, 2002, 2005, 2006), punând accent, mai ales, pe descrierea construcției identității vorbitorului. Acest cadru a permis elaborarea unui model de analiză care să permită observarea modului în care se construiesc și se dezvoltă identitățile discursive ale youtuberilor români. Identitatea vorbitorului este analizată ținându-se cont de două componente de bază ale acesteia, identitatea socială și identitatea discursivă. De asemenea, atitudinea fiecărui vorbitor analizat s-a realizat în funcție de parametri precum „credibilitatea” și capacitatea de „atragere a atenției” (Charaudeau 2009). Chiar dacă analiza se bazează pe un corpus relativ restrâns, ea reușește să descrie și să analizeze cu acuratețe identitatea youtuberilor români în contextul unei situații de comunicare date.

In this article, Feed-forward Neural Network is formalized in the Mizar system [1], [2]. First, the multilayer perceptron [6], [7], [8] is formalized using functional sequences. Next, we show that a set of functions generated by these neural networks satisfies equicontinuousness and equiboundedness property [10], [5]. At last, we formalized the compactness of the function set of these neural networks by using the Ascoli-Arzela’s theorem according to [4] and [3].
Gendered Epithets in Two Prominent Romanian Dictionaries
Authors: Vişan Ruxandra
Published: December 2022

The present paper seeks to investigate the representation of a relevant number of gendered epithets in two prominent Romanian dictionaries, the most recent edition of DOOM (2021, Third Edition) and the current edition of DEX (2016, Revised Edition based on the first and second editions). Taking into account the prescriptive dimension which both these dictionaries share and the fact that they both retain their status as significant reference books in present-day Romania, the paper examines the way in which these current dictionaries choose to describe these words, arguing for the significance of the “metadata” (Nunberg, 2018; Pullum, 2018) component in the lexicographical representation of lexical items which can function as gendered insults.

Authors: Böhm Gabriella , Ionescu Daniela-Smaranda , Ionescu G. C.
Published: December 2022

In the present paper, the main concerns regarding the purification processes of wastewater from the textile industry containing nitrogen-type dyes are reviewed, and a method for the biological purification of these waters is developed. After consulting the results of the research in this field of wastewater treatment worldwide, a series of effective methods, described in the first chapter of this paper can be taken as positive examples. Following that, some methods of biological treatment of textile and leather industry wastewater are proposed, such as the inclusion of a biological treatment step using a fixed bed reactor. At the conclusion of this paper, recommendations are made for textile fabric operative industry, which are useful in biological contact processes. Biomass support panels, with limited flexibility and substantial surface expansion, with or without frames, form a variety of biomass support elements (textile fabric or otherwise), which can contain biological purification processes through the biomass panels.

Improving the Self-Compacting Concrete Properties by Incorporating a New Micronized Limestone Filler
Authors: Sassi Raoudha , Jelidi A. , Montassar S.
Published: December 2022

Self -compacting concrete composition results from several approaches to satisfy specific criteria. SCCs must be able to fill small, confined formwork without the need for vibration. To ensure the homogeneity and mechanical characteristics of the concrete, they must have good resistance to segregation throughout the setting time. The self-compacting aspect is controlled by a high volume of paste and an important fines content ensured by incorporating mineral additions that are expensive and not always available. The main objective of this paper is to utilize a new type of micronized limestone filler that may be characterized and incorporated into concrete to guarantee self-compacting quality. In the first part, a detailed characterization of the limestone filler was carried out to investigate its effects on the concrete properties. The identification has been physical, chemical, and specific to the concrete’s formulation. The second part is devoted to the experimental tests on different SCCs mixed with various amounts of filler to determine the optimal incorporation percentage. Moreover, a parametric study, involving the content of filler, the granular structure, and the quantity of superplasticizer, allowed an evaluation of the effect of limestone filler incorporation on fresh and hardened concrete characteristics. Through this study, it was demonstrated that with a proportion of limestone filler of about 25% of the quantity of cement used, the quality of the concrete has recognized appreciable improvements.
Analysis of Model-Scale Open-Water Test Uncertainty
Authors: Król Przemysław
Published: December 2022

Within the frame of CTO’s standard procedure, a propeller open-water test is preceded by a reference measurement, which is taken for a reference propeller model (P356). The results of these measurements are assembled to conduct an open-water test uncertainty analysis. Additional material was gathered from open-water tests that were conducted throughout several research projects on the CP469 model, which is a model of the Nawigator XXI propeller. The latter is a controllable pitch propeller; its pitch was reset before each test repetition. Known procedures for the determination of the open-water test uncertainty do not allow one to extract the manufacture impact directly, without building many models. This factor was addressed with the use of lifting surface calculations. Under certain additional assumptions, these calculations were performed for 100 generic versions of each propeller’s geometry, which were generated by random deviations from the theoretical data within the limits of allowed tolerances. The results of the conducted analyses made it possible to extract separate factors, which were connected to the test’s repeatability, measurement bias and geometry tolerance.
Optimisation of Reliability and Maintenance Plan of the High-Pressure Fuel Pump System on Marine Engine
Authors: Knežević Vlatko , Stazić Ladislav , Orović Josip , Pavin Zoran
Published: December 2022

This paper presents a method of adjusting and designing the maintenance scheme for the high-pressure fuel pumps of a slow-speed two-stroke marine engine, MAN 6S70MC-C. The maintenance database for the marine fuel system was obtained from the planned maintenance software, and covered a period of 11 years. During this period, 29 failures occurred that required corrective actions. Our methodology includes failure mode analysis, risk analysis, reliability calculation and maintenance interval adjustment. Each failure is described using a failure mode analysis, based on a combination of the mode and cause of failure. The objective of this study is to recommend a new preventive maintenance interval based on the exponential reliability results and the analysed maintenance data. The initial maintenance plan for each fuel pump was set to 8,000 running hours, whereas in the modified plan, it is recommended to set this to 4,000 hours. Our results show an increase in the system reliability from 60% to 95% when the new modified maintenance plan is applied. In addition, the results and the recommended initial maintenance schedule are validated based on three similar types of engine with the same fuel pump system. The new maintenance approach can reduce the risk of component failure, which will lead to increased reliability of the fuel pump system and the optimisation of maintenance costs.

Published: December 2022

Myositis ossificans (MO) is a rare group of diseases in which heterotopic ossification occurs in muscles, tendons, nerves, or even subcutaneous fat. MO can occur in patients of all ages, but usually appears in young adults who practice sports or have a history of mechanical trauma, burns, infections or drug abuse.

The article highlights the case of a 29-year-old athletic female who noticed, by random palpation, a small lump in her left biceps, near the radial insertion. The lump was not painful and noticeable with the naked eye.

Rest and NSAIDs were recommended and all went well for about 3 months.

However, after almost a week from that moment, the pain was excruciating, inflammation extend on the arm and forearm, she could not extend her arm anymore and its circumference was 30 cm from 24 initially.

A biopsy was performed and the result was calcified fibrous tissue with suggestive aspect of myositis ossificans. Surgery was planned with reconstruction of the biceps tendon in mind.

After surgery, the elbow was splinted at 90 degrees for two weeks, then dynamic splinting was performed with increasingly wider range of motion until full recovery was achieved.

MO is a rare disease that involves many differential diagnoses, some of which are deadly and each with its own particularities, different imaging aspects and different treatments.
A New Approach to Sustainable Financial Stability and its Prospects
Authors: Turek Marian
Published: December 2022

In recent years attention has increasingly been drawn to factors that improve financial stability. The article systematizes the results of empirical scientific works which evaluate the influence of climate-related environmental factors, social factors, and factors related to the mechanisms of corporate governance (ESG) in terms of their contribution to financial stability. High ESG ratings, both within each group of factors and when they are taken as a whole, enhance the stability of the financial system. They do so both when viewed microprudentially, in reducing the aggregate individual risk of financial institutions, and when considered macroprudentially, in reducing their contribution to total systemic risk. However, there is noticeably more published work on the impact of environmental (climatic) factors and the role of corporate governance than on that social factors. At the end of this critical review of the relevant literature, possible directions for the development of this research are discussed.

Authors: Al-Ali Samirah , Aldairi Walaa
Published: December 2022

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the awareness and attitude toward contact lens (CL) complications among the general public in AlAhssa, AlKhobar, AlDammam, AlQatif, and AlJubail regions of Saudi Arabia and guide prevention efforts against CL complications.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey study design conducted among the adult population of the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia (AlAhssa, AlDammam, AlKhobar, AlQatif, and Al-Jubail). A pre-determined electronic questionnaire was modified and carried out after gaining authorization from the questionnaire developer. The questionnaire consisted of sociodemographic data and some questions about awareness and attitude toward CL and its side effects (SE). The questionnaire survey was sent to both the general population and healthcare providers.
Results: The mean awareness score toward CLSE was 8.39 ± 1.66 out of 12, with 51.4% of participants having poor awareness of CLSE. Regarding attitude, the mean score was 1.99 ± 1.04 out of 5, of whom 59.8% of participants had a negative attitude. The most commonly known CLSE was red-eye and itching. Being a female and being professionals were the significant independent predictors of having better awareness. Simultaneously, males and less educated participants were the factors associated with a negative attitude toward CLSE.
Conclusion: There was moderate awareness toward CLSE among the general population in the Southern Region of Saudi Arabia with inadequate attitude levels. Educated female participants had better awareness and attitude toward CLSE, whereas less-educated males had a negative attitude regarding CL complications.

Background: Most of the available literature on grafts being contaminated by dropping them on operating room floors has focused on bones and tendons. By contrast, few studies concern skin grafts, with no existence of rib cartilage grafts. However, due to the lack of protocols when such an incident occurs, the results in the literature are incompatible. Most of the studies recommend managing the situation by sterilizing the graft with antiseptic agents and completing the surgery as well as avoiding obtaining another graft, which might increase morbidity.
Case Presentation: Here, we report a case at the rhinoplasty clinic at King Abdullah Medical City in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The case is of a 30-year-old male patient who complained of a saddle nose with a loss of tip support and severely deviated septum grade 5 caused by a history of trauma. The patient also had symptom-free pectus excavatum that had not been corrected surgically. Otherwise, the patient had a good body build with no family history or past medical/surgical history.
Conclusion: The patient underwent reconstructive surgery to the nose using rectus muscle fascia and a rib cartilage graft. During the operation, the cartilage was accidentally dropped on the floor. Due to the patient's chest configuration, harvesting a new graft was difficult. Thus, the same graft was used after decontamination. Clinicians who treat patients in similar clinical circumstances in the future may benefit from our experience.

Published: December 2022

Objective: This study aimed to assess the knowledge and preventive behavior toward COVID-19 among secondary school students and teachers after reopening of schools and associated factors, and to compare the two groups.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in Saudi Arabia from the 1st of March 2022 to the 1st of April 2022. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed among school teachers and students to measure their knowledge about COVID-19 infection.
Results: Out of 1,228 participants, 407 were teachers and 821 were school students. The overall mean knowledge score was significantly higher in teachers (mean score: 9.30) than in school students (mean score: 8.95) (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: School teachers demonstrated better knowledge and preventive behavior toward COVID-19 infection than school students. Although current research was carried out during one of the COVID-19 pandemic waves, efforts should continue to enhance the school population's basic knowledge and preventive measures against other respiratory viruses, especially during winter.

Susceptibility of different Malvaceae crops to herbivory induced by adult Podagrica spp.
Authors: Ekoja Edache Ernest , Pitan Olufemi Richard
Published: December 2022

Podagrica uniforma Jacoby and P. sjostedti Jacoby are two important flea beetles that cause economic damage to several Malvaceae crops in Africa. Host preference by the beetles was evaluated under field conditions in 2017 and 2018 using fourty different crops in the family Malvaceae. The setup was a randomized complete block design with three blocks. Both P. uniforma and P. sjostedti highly preferred the okra genotypes, but the cotton genotypes were not damaged in both years. More than 80% of the crop leaves had beetle-induced buckshot(s) except for cotton (0%) and jute mallow (<55%). Leaf tissue removal exceeded 40% of the total leaf area of kenaf. Damages induced by the beetles disrupted plants’ fitness, caused high leaf abscission and many crop stands were lost in both years. Only the okra fruits were damaged by the beetles, and plots with the Dwarf LP variety of okra recorded the highest crop loss (>43%) in both years. NHAe47-4, LD-88, and Dwarf LP okra genotypes were the first three Malvaceae crops that were most susceptible to Podagrica spp. attacks, while cotton genotypes were ranked as the least preferred crops. In conclusion, P. uniforma and P. sjostedti exhibited broad oligophagy in a polyculture of Malvaceae crops. While okra, kenaf, roselle, and jute mallow showed varying degrees of susceptibility to the beetles’ attacks, the cotton genotypes appeared to be outside the host range. The potential of utilizing this beetle-Malvaceae interaction information in agroecosystems to minimize Podagrica spp. infestation and crop losses were discussed.

A cistite hemorrágica e a cistite intersticial expressam uma etiologia variável, desde idiopática à provocada por fármacos, dentre eles a ciclofosfamida. A cistite apresenta tratamento multifatorial, e o potencial efeito satisfatório do uso da medicina complementar, vem ganhando espaço na prática médica. Assim o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o efeito protetivo do extrato bruto de Echinodorus grandiflorus sobre a bexiga de ratos induzidos a cistite por ciclofosfamida. Utilizou-se neste estudo, 35 ratos, machos, Wistar, com peso médio de 321g, que foram submetidos a indução de cistite com uso de ciclofosfamida por via intraperitoneal e tratados com diferentes doses de extrato de Echinodorus grandiflorus (30, 100, 300mg) e o grupo controle com o fármaco Mesna.Todos os animais foram mortos no décimo sétimo dia e suas bexigas urinarias foram ressecadas para avaliação macro e microscópica, além da análise de hemograma e leucograma. A análise do sangue mostrou leucopenia com diferença significativa em todos os animais que receberam a ciclofosfamida. Observou-se que a dose de 300mg/kg do extrato bruto da planta, apresentou efeito protetivo no urotélio vesical, porém, inferior ao uso de Mesna. Diante dos resultados apresentados neste estudo sugere-se que o extrato de Echinodorus grandiflorus apresenta efeito protetivo no urotélio vesical na dose de 300mg/kg, porém estudos futuros quanto a dose e também a uma possível associação terapêutica ao Mesna devam ser realizados. Por se tratar de uma patologia com prevalência importante e ser muitas vezes desagradável e limitante à vida, faz-se necessário o empenho em métodos terapêuticos alternativos aos atuais, afim de, diminuírem os custos e efeitos colaterais dos métodos já documentados.
