Background. The purpose was the analysis of the features of the course and the leading factors in the development of pulmonary embolism. Materials and methods. During the period from November 1, 2019, to December 2020, inclusive, 188 patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE), aged 46 to 80 years old, were hospitalized at the City Clinical Hospital 8 of the Kharkiv City Council; the average age was 62.9 ± 16.7 years. In-hospital mortality was 12.2 % (23 patients). The criterion for inclusion in the study was acute PE, which was diagnosed based on the results of multislice computed tomographic angiography of the pulmonary arteries (MCT angiography of the pulmonary arteries). All patients underwent a general clinical examination, the risk and prognosis were assessed based on the generally accepted scales, standard transthoracic echocardiography (EchoCG), and Doppler ultrasound examination of the veins of the lower extremities were performed. Results. The disease was diagnosed with the same frequency in men and women; there was no difference in age. Among the most significant and important risk factors for the development of pulmonary embolism are the history of venous thrombosis/embolism and active malignant oncological disease (43 and 35 %, respectively), while the less significant ones were advanced age, varicose veins of the lower extremities and arterial hypertension 47.9, 31.4 and 52.1 %, respectively. The vast majority (57.4 %) had a combination of 2 or more risk factors. Signs of right ventricular dysfunction according to MCT angiography of the pulmonary arteries and/or echocardiography were recorded in 45.7 % of patients. A high and medium-high risk of early death associated with acute PE was found in a significant percentage (71.8 %) of patients, which required the inclusion of a thrombolytic agent in the treatment strategy.

Authors: Wicaksono Donny Bhaskara , Wahyuni Erly
Published: July 2021

In this global era, due to the growth of science, information, technology, and other people needs, translation becomes necessary in rendering information between languages. However, the process of translating is not as simple as switching the meaning of word for word based on the literal context.Idioms are one of the most problematical components of language. Idioms cannot be easily translated because of their unpredictable meaning and grammar. The purpose of this study is to find out; (1) the idiomatic expressions which are found in Indonesian Legends, (2) the meaning of the idiomatic expressions found in Indonesian Legends, and (3) the various strategies which are used in translating idioms in Indonesia into English found in Indonesian Legends.The descriptive qualitative research design, in the form of document analysis, was employed in this study. The instruments to collect the data were documents and expert opinion. Moreover, the documents consisted of the Bahasa Indonesia (Source Text) and English (Target Text) translation versions of five Indonesian Legends, namely; Batu Kuwung, Batu Menangis, Gunung Merapi, Tangkuban Perahu and Candi Prambanan. This study revealed that idiomatic expression translation strategy by paraphrasingwas the most dominant strategy used by the translator in translating the idiomatic expressions found in five Indonesian Legends (eleven out of eighteen cases). Meanwhile, the second most common strategy was translating by omission (six out of eighteen cases).  The last was the strategy of using an idiom of similar meaning and form which only one out of eighteen cases. Thus, it can be concluded that the translator only applied three strategies out of the main five strategies of translating idiomatic expression suggested by Baker.

RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF ENGLISH STUDENTS’ BUSINESS EXPRESSIONS:A RESEARCH PAPER
Authors: Supeno Supeno
Published: July 2021

In order to persuade, a speaker must analyze the speech situation and adapt his or her speech to it. In discussions about rhetoric, Aristotle is recognized as an expert in rhetoric who devoted more than a third of his Art of Rhetoric to study of the audience. Ever since, rhetoricians have taught that a speaker who would persuade others to believe and to act in a certain way must understand how the listeners feel, what they want, and what they need; the speaker must begin where the listeners are. A persuasive writing or speaking is often aimed at the heart or the stomach instead of the head. That is, some things or reasons are more acceptable to the readers or listeners’ feeling (in the stomach) than to their logic (in the head) . Instead of being logical only, therefore, a persuasive speaker needs to add some strategies to win the listeners’ assent. Discussed in terms of tripartite as the core theory of rhetoric, this paper is intended to analyse English students’ replies to their customers’ requests through WhatsApp business role-playing. The findings show that most of the students’ replies need to be rhetorically modified to make them more persuasive.

Published: July 2021

Population testing, especially those at risk, plays an important role in preventing and managing the HIV pandemic. It helps practitioners in identifying individuals who need to be counseled on behavior change as well as those who need to be enrolled in HIV care and treatment programs. Further still, policy makers also use outcomes of such tests in determining whether their strategies are bearing fruits or not. In this study, we sought to determine the time interval within which sexually active individuals seek HIV repeat tests in relation to their gender and marital statuses.                                                       We observed that majority of the respondents (39.8%, n=47) sought HIV repeat test within a period of 7-12 months, which we considered as short interval that leads to early diagnosis. We also observed a section of the respondents were also seeking HIV repeat test after a period that exceeded 13 months. We considered the latter as long interval that leads to late diagnosis of HIV. We further observed that, a majority of the respondents who were either married or had never been married before, sought HIV repeat tests within a short interval compared to those who were either divorced or widowed.                                                       We concluded that most widowed and divorced respondents were more likely to receive late diagnosis of HIV than those who were either married or had never been married before. Most studies have indicated that people who are unaware of their HIV status carry a higher risk of infecting others.

Russia — a Eurasian Civilization
Authors: Subetto A. I. , Shamakhov V. A.
Published: July 2021

The article argues that Russia as a “Eurasian civilization”, precisely as a “Eurasian” one, is the only civilization in the world. In the process of civilizational-Eurasian genesis, the historical synthesis of the “Western” (European) and “Eastern” (Asian) principles, expressed in its special value genome, is performed in it. Due to the “cold” climate in the Eurasian territory occupied by Russia, it is the highest energy-cost civilization and, therefore, — a civilization with the dominant role of the cooperation law. The Russian people, due to the peculiarity of their value aspirations, which F. M. Dostoevsky defined as “all-humanity”, became the founder of Russian civilization and the bearer of polyethnic cooperation (the Russian super-ethnos according to L. N. Gumilyov). As a “civilization of the Truth”, Russia is called upon to become a leader in the implementation of the noospheric strategy of mankind ecological survival, outside of which ecological destruction awaits them in the 21st century.

ESTRATÉGIAS DE INOVAÇÃO DOS SETORES INDUSTRIAIS BRASILEIROS: UMA PROPOSTA DE CLASSIFICAÇÃO
Authors: Pestillo Letícia , Santos David Ferreira Lopes
Published: July 2021

A literatura aponta uma escassez de contribuições direcionadas ao aperfeiçoamento de estratégias de inovação industrial no contexto brasileiro. Para avançar nessa discussão, o presente estudo combinou duas temáticas, inovação e estratégia, visto que o processo inovativo é imprescindível em economias emergentes e seu desenvolvimento no ambiente empresarial é decorrente da seleção de estratégias. Esta pesquisa traz implicações para o meio empresarial no sentido de auxiliar a tomada de decisão de gestores orientadas as características setoriais e as estratégias inovativas. Para o meio acadêmico, traz uma contribuição teórica acerca dos mecanismos de inovação setorial. Dessa forma, o estudo tem por objetivo classificar os setores industriais brasileiros em função das suas estratégias de inovação. Para construção do estudo, empregou-se dados secundários de 31 segmentos industriais brasileiros, disponibilizados pela PINTEC/IBGE. Foram exploradas 6 edições no período de 2000 a 2014, mediante a segmentação em quartis dos setores e Análise Fatorial. Os resultados mostram que o perfil estratégico empregado pela indústria brasileira é distinto entre os setores, no qual foram identificadas perspectivas ofensivas, imitativas, tradicionais, defensivas, Exploitative e Explorative. Dada as diferenças setoriais e as características variáveis do ambiente, verificou-se que não existe uma estratégia eficaz para todos os setores, nem o investimento em todas as variáveis de esforços em inovação são garantidores de resultados inovativos superiores. Em vista disso, não é possível inferir que determinado perfil de estratégia de investimento em inovação direciona para um determinado perfil de resultado, sem considerar o setor industrial e a própria firma.

A identidade de gênero configura-se como a forma com a qual o indivíduo se percebe e se apresenta perante a sociedade na condição de seu gênero, e não de seu sexo biológico. Dessa forma, a transexualidade é o sentimento de pertencimento ao sexo contrário ao de nascimento, sem identificação com as atribuições sociais relacionadas ao gênero correspondente. A partir desse ponto, desde 1997 o Conselho Federal de Medicina vem buscando regularizar o “processo transexualizador” como uma série de intervenções multidisciplinares em saúde, incluindo a cirurgia de redesignação sexual, para que não seja considerado crime de mutilação conforme o art. 129 do código penal, tendo em vista seu propósito terapêutico de adequar a genitália ao sexo psíquico. Isso porque a cirurgia de transgenitalização é um direito fundamental que se enquadra no princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana, um dos princípios listados como fundamento do Estado Democrático Brasileiro no inciso do art. 1º da Constituição Federal de 1988, tendo como objetivo a garantia da vida digna aos brasileiros.

This paper aims to report on the outcome of the study that investigated the cause of the ongoing antagonistic employment relationship (ER) in the South African public sector workplace, which has negatively affected employment relations satisfaction (ERS) and psychological contract (PC) fulfilment. This antagonism between management and employees has lowered the levels of employer-employee trust (Sudiarta, 2021), as well as job satisfaction (Silitonga et al., 2020) in the workplace. This study, therefore, explored the type of ER, levels of ERS, and state of PC that is prevalent in the workplace to recommend solutions for the situation. A quantitative research approach was adopted for the study because of its appropriateness for the study’s objectives. Data collection was done by means of a structured questionnaire. The results revealed a prevalence of positive ER in the workplace, a higher level of ERS among employees, a negative state of PC, and a positive inter-relationship among the three variables. This led to the conclusion that although the three variables are positively interrelated, the PC influences both ER and ERS negatively in the workplace. This study contributes to knowledge and literature on ER, ERS and PC pertaining to their nature, interrelationship and collective effect in the workplace.

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of turmeric powder and synbiotic as alternative to antibiotic growth promoter on haemato-biochemical parameters, comparative economics and mortality of broiler chicks. Total 150 day-old chicks were randomly divided into 5 treatments having 30 chicks in each group with three replicates of 10 chicks in each. Control group was fed basal diet, second group supplemented with antibiotic @ 0.02%, third supplemented with turmeric @ 0.5%, fourth supplemented with synbiotic @ 0.05% and fifth supplemented with turmeric @ 0.25%+synbiotic @ 0.025% in the diet. Haemato-biological parameters, comparative economics and mortality were recorded. Non-significant (p>0.05) effect was observed for haemato-biochemical parameters. However, numerically highest level of haemoglobin, packed cell volume, total protein, albumin and globulin was found in group supplemented with turmeric and synbiotic powder in combination. Highest reduction in serum triglyceride and cholesterol level was observed in group supplemented with turmeric and synbiotic powder in combination and lowest reduction was observed in control group. Highest net return per bird was observed in group supplemented with turmeric and synbiotic powder in combination and lowest was observed in control group. Lowest mortality was observed in a group supplemented with turmeric and combination group, while highest mortality was observed in control group. It can be concluded that as an alternative to antibiotics, addition of turmeric and synbiotic combination in the diets positively influenced haemato-biochemical parameters and comparative economics with reduced mortality of broiler.

Screening and identifying the problems faced by university students, and finding the sources and understanding the variables that cause these problems are very important for mental health. Campus is an environment that is open to many risk factors and much research has confirmed that university study is particularly difficult for women. The aim of this study is to investigate the problems of female students living in university dormitories in a comprehensive manner and to make a relational analysis in the areas that are considered to be related to these problems. In addition, it aims at determining the extent to which university students' depression, anxiety, stress and psychological wellbeing are predicted by the various problem areas experienced by the students. 122 Female students participated in the study. "Newly-Developed Problem Screening Inventory", "Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS-21)" and the "Psychological Well-being Scale" were used for the data collection. The collected data were analyzed through stepwise regression analysis, which led to the conclusion that personal perception and affective problems are significant predictors for all three variables, drawing attention to the importance of the problems experienced by female students. The findings are discussed in the context of national and international studies on women living in university dormitories, and suggestions and limitations are presented.
