Literary References in Obiter Dicta: A Study on Intertextuality in Legal Discourse
Authors: Hussain Amjad , Pirzada Mohsin Mansoor , Saeed Muhammad Arif
Published: February 2022

The courts around the world have been introducing reforms into judicial systems,and one of these is to improve the language of judgments in which the judges of superior courts add their comments and observations. This attached discourse resembles the obiter dicta, which often contains moral and ethical exhortations. It is to add the literary touch (i.e., from dramas,novels, poetry, etc.) to a legal decision so that the people easily understand the verdict.Obiter dicta of the higher courts is often taken as a reference by the subordinate courts. It is, therefore, very much obvious that every word articulated in a judgment would be weighed with paramount importance. This study explores how judges around the globe have utilized intertextuality in achieving these goals and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of this technique.
Subverting the Politics of Discourse in Gerald Vizenor's Heirs of Columbus
Authors: Iqbal Nasir , Hayat Umar , Nadeem Muhammad Asif
Published: February 2022

Vizenor is an illustrious novelist whose works, especially The Heirs of Columbus, dwells upon some of the substantial and significant issues facing the modern-day Native American nationals of America and Canada as the majority of the Native American tribes straddle along the borders between the two countries. Victor believes in Saidian terms that the white Euro-American colonizers, after making inroads into the native people's land, established their stranglehold by maintaining and perpetuating the policy of the misrepresentation of the native people. Through a body of specialized writings about the colonized people, the Europeans in the first place and Americans afterward- after the center was shifted from Britain to America as a result of far-reaching political and economic changes in the world scenario- grossly misrepresented the indigenous people by portraying them as uncivilized, ignorant, brutes, inferior, born to be ruled over and, thus, by implication defined themselves as civilized, democratic, knowledgeable having the divine sanction to rule. They had this cultural/anthropological theory of their innate superiority over the non-white to ideologically support and legitimize their exploitative agenda.

Published: February 2022

The translation of proverbs, which has always been a difficult area, is always emerged in culture because of its relevance to folklore, and hence translators face problems at the lexical, syntactical, or cultural level. Keeping in view this fact, the present study aimed to analyze Urdu proverbs and their equivalence in English, i.e., their translated version. For this purpose, as a source of data, the proverb book Khazina-e-Muhawarat by Craven, where translated version is also available, was used. These proverbs we reanalyzed and were searched for whether they were translated literately or sense-wise. From the data, it was found that there is a blend of both literal and sense translation, where equivalence varies from one version to another.

Women Representation in Pakistani Television Dramas: A Critical Discourse Analysis
Authors: Chaudhry Aisha Arshad , Ali Rana Imran , Aslam Zakia
Published: February 2022

The current study aims to investigate the representation of women in Pakistani television dramas that reflect the female stereotypical image of women in society. The drama discourse is analyzed through the lens of the critical discourse analysis model by Fairclough (1995). The study explores that women represented in Pakistani dramas are bold or assertive, or they are restricted to conventional norms by male-oriented society. The methodological approach adopted to analyze is suitable to study the independent and dependent variables. The critical discourse analysis model is applied to describe,explain, and interpret the drama discourse. For data analysis, three dramas, “Cheekh” and “Khaani,”have been selected from different Private television channels to ensure the validity of the analysis. The leading female roles in these dramas confront the feminist issues in a patriarchal society. Even in this modern era, Pakistani women are still struggling against odds for injustice and equality, where male-dominated culture is challenging as ever for women to survive. This research will help researchers to work on the different themes of television dramas related to feminist issues.

Transdisciplinaridade e ativismo científico como cunhas para acelerar o desenvolvimento amazônico
Authors: Fonseca Claudio Ruy Vasconcelos da , Santiago Sandro Breval , Paula Estevão Vicente Cavalcante Monteiro de
Published: February 2022

Estudar e conhecer a Amazônia diante do cenário socioeconômico atual leva à reflexão sobre a eficácia das metodologias científicas adotadas. Estaria o diálogo entre grupos de pesquisas e os tomadores de decisões permitindo a produção de conhecimento robusto e adequado às demandas do setor produtivo amazônico, e articulado de modo a sensibilizar a academia a se debruçar sobre os gargalos tecnológicos existentes, bem como, novas oportunidades para o aproveitamento da riqueza natural? Foi realizada uma análise nas exigências de editais de fomento científico produzidos pelas principais instituições de fomento e desenvolvimento na Amazônia, nos últimos dois anos, e verificou-se que a epistemologia predominante é a disciplinaridade, fato que torna a aplicação dos resultados mais restrita. A escala temporal da produção científica, velocidade de impacto na sociedade em relação à sua aplicação, a linguagem adequada e a falta de percepção da sociedade sobre a incerteza da política, são fatores importantes que afetam a relação entre a academia e os formadores de opinião e políticas públicas, sendo necessário intensificar um certo ativismo científico, advindo da aplicação da epistemologia translacional. Em paralelo, o gerenciamento da governança do conhecimento científico se daria, em alguns casos, com maiores probabilidades de sucesso com a utilização de algoritmos que ainda são timidamente adotados no meio acadêmico da Amazônia.

Методика проведення досліджень була загальноприйнята. На посівах пшениці озимої пошкодження наносять жук-кузька хлібний (Anisoplia austriaca Hrbst.), жук красун (Anisoplia segetum Hrbst.), п’явиця червоногруда (Oulema melanopus L.), п’явиця синя (Oulema lichenis Voet.), блішка хлібна смугаста (Phyllotreta vittula Redt.), турун хлібний (Zabrus tenebrioides Goeze), клоп гостроголовий (Aelia acuminata L.), клоп шкідлива черепашка (Eurygaster integriceps Put.), попелиця злакова звичайна (Schizaphis graminum Rond.), трипс пшеничний (Haplothrips tritici Kurd.), муха гессенська (Mayetiola destructor Say), муха шведська ячмінна (Oscinella pusilla Mg.). Жук-кузька розповсюджений у Сумській області повсюдно, а жук красун має більше поширення у зоні Полісся. Личинки хлібних жуків заселяли у 2016 р. 22,7 %, у 2017 р. – 20,3 %, у 2018 р. – 23,9 % площ пшениці озимої. Середня чисельність личинок жуків хлібних у 2016, 2018 рр. була 0,7 екз./м2, у 2017 р. – 0,9 екз./м2. Найбільш розповсюдженими на посівах пшениці були імаго жуків хлібних, які у фазу молочно-воскової стиглості зерна обгризали та виштовхували зерна з колосу. Жуки хлібні у фазу молочної стиглості зерна заселяли у 2016 р. 85,2 %, у 2017 р. – 84,6 %, у 2018 р. – 72,4 % обстежених площ пшениці озимої. Чисельність імаго жуків хлібних була у 2016 р. 0,3 екз./м2, 2017 р. – 0,4 екз./м2, 2018 р. – 0,6 екз./м2. Внаслідок живлення на зерні личинок та клопів, що окрилилися елії гостроголової та клопа шкідливої черепашки, погіршуються хлібопекарські та харчові якості борошна, а також посівні якості зерна. Клопи хлібні заселяли у 2016 р. 24,1 %, у 2017 р. – 37,1 %, у 2018 р. – 42,3 % обстежених площ пшениці озимої. Середня чисельність клопів на посівах пшениці озимої була 0,7 екз./м2. У 2016–2017 рр. чисельність личинок мухи шведської в осінній період була 1,4 екз./м2, а у 2018 р. зросла до 2,0 екз./м2 . Чисельність личинок мухи гессенської становила у 2016–2017 рр. 1,3 екз./м2, у 2018 р. – 1,5 екз./м2.

The use of healthcare monitoring systems in hospitals and other health facilities has grown exponentially, and portable healthcare monitoring systems based on new technologies have emerged as a severe concern in several countries throughout the globe. The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology has contributed to the progress of healthcare from face-to-face counseling to telemedicine. The project aims to design a reliable health monitoring system utilizing the IoT, Arduino, and Android applications. It can be used to measure body temperature, heart rate, and level of oxygen in the blood in both hospitals and homes. The system is also capable to verify that the transmission of the sensor’s data to the host computer is done in real-time. The results show that the system reading is approximately 100% accurate as of the purchased measuring instruments or actual devices. Therefore, doctors and family members can now monitor and track the patient’s health anywhere through this smart health monitoring system.

Pengaruh Model Pembelajaran Talking Chip Terhadap Kemampuan Komunikasi Matematis
Authors: Wahyuni Vera
Published: February 2022

Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi rendahnya kemampuan komunikasi matematis peserta didik. Hal ini dapat disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor diantaranya adalah kebanyakan guru matematika hanya menekankan pada materi semata dan lebih banyak menjalin komunikasi satu arah dengan peserta didik (teacher center) sehingga peserta didik kurang aktif dalam menyampaikan ide–idenya, mengingat bahwa pentingnya kemampuan komunikasi matematis maka perlu dikembangkan model pembelajaran  yang erat hubunganya dengan kemampuan komunikasi matematis. Model tersebut diantaranya adalah model pembelajaran tipe Talking Chips bertujuan untuk mengetahui Pengaruh Model Pembelajaran Kooperatif Tipe Talking Chips terhadap Kemampuan Komunikasi Matematis Peserta Didik Kelas VIII SMP PGRI 1 Batanghari.

Background: Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a rare entity with poor prognosis, linked to previous asbestos exposure. The main goal of this study was to analyse the impact of clinical factors on mesothelioma prognosis. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma in three Portuguese institutions, from 1999 to 2020. Statistical analysis was performed with Kaplan–Meier method and Cox regression using IBM SPSS® v25. Results: 60 patients were included, with male predominance (70%) and a median age of 69 years old. At diagnosis, 61% had advanced TNM stage (TNM III-IV) and 18% had an ECOG-PS ≥ 2. Asbestos exposure was stated in 48%. Epithelioid mesothelioma was the most prevalent histological subtype (81%). The majority received first line chemotherapy, in 10% combined with surgery, and two patients received immunotherapy after progression. Median overall survival (OS) was 13 months and median progression free survival was 10 months. A lower OS was observed in patients with ECOG-PS ≥ 2, age ≥ 70 years, TNM stage III-IV, anaemia, and hypoalbuminemia. Applying the decision tree model proposed by Brims et al. in our population, a significant difference in median OS was observed between the risk groups. In a multivariate analysis using Cox regression, Brims risk group 4, older age and advanced TNM stage were identified as independent negative prognostic factors. Conclusion: Recognition of these prognostic factors at diagnosis and use of specific prognostic models can help guide malignant pleural mesothelioma management.
Az internetes tartalomszabályozással kapcsolatos új gondolkodási irányok az Amerikai Egyesült Államokban
Authors: Gosztonyi Gergely
Published: February 2022

Az egyértelműnek látszik, hogy az amerikai megoldás a tartalomszabályozás kapcsán, amely (szinte) teljes immunitást biztosít, felülvizsgálatra szorul, de hogy milyen irányban fog elindulni a szabályozó, az még sokesélyes. A szaporodó problémákat látva felmerült a kérdés egyrészt megvan-e a kellő politikai akarat és bátorság a döntéshozókban az internet, a közösségi média és az óriás techcégek szabályozására, másrészt, hogy ezen techmammutok vajon valóban érdekeltek-e a változásokban, vagy csak az időnyerésre játszanak. A tanulmány a platformszolgáltatók és a szabályozók álláspontjait mutatja be, de hogy melyik fog győzedelmeskedni, az egyelőre kétesélyes.
A Vivaldi Antenna with Improved Bandwidth and Gain
Authors: Elhefnawy Mohamed , Podd Frank
Published: February 2022

In this paper, the radiation characteristics of the conventional Vivaldi antenna are improved by proposing a novel design of a Vivaldi antenna. This proposed Vivaldi antenna is excited through three slots by using the L-probe microstrip feeder. The novel design can provide higher gain and wider bandwidth compared to that of the conventional Vivaldi antenna of the same size. The CST MWS software is used to simulate the proposed Vivaldi antenna. The measured and the simulated S-parameters were compared so that the feasibility of the proposed Vivaldi antenna was validated. The measured S-parameters show that the impedance bandwidth of the proposed Vivaldi antenna was from 1.976 to 7.728 GHz, while the measured maximum gain is 4.9 dBi at the operating frequency of 3 GHz.
A Review of L2 Learning Motivation Research Using L2 Motivational Self System
Authors: Nguyen Khuong Nhat-Anh
Published: February 2022

Since the initiation of Dörnyei’s (2009) L2 Motivational Self System model (L2MSS) in 2009, research on the second language (L2) learning motivation has witnessed unprecedented achievements. This recent study offered a brief review of significant research findings on L2 motivation that drew on the L2MSS framework from 2009 to 2021. Studies included in this review were categorized by two universal research approaches: quantitative and qualitative. Besides main research results that contributed to the L2 learners’ learning motivational profiles and the theoretical refinements of the L2MSS, brief descriptions of research instruments employed were included to provide insight into research methodologies currently used in L2 motivation and L2MSS studies. The reviewed research findings showed that while the quantitative paradigm remained dominant among studies that employed L2MSS, qualitative studies offered a deeper understanding of L2 motivation and emergent themes of the framework obtained by narrative data. The review provided theoretical and practical implications for future L2 motivation research drawn on the L2MSS.
