Speech Acts Types and Psychological Development by Perpetrators and Victims of Sexual Abuse in France: A Psycholingforensic’s Perspective
Authors: Dhiba Arry Devy Farah , Santoso Bernadus Wahyudi Joko
Published: January 2025

Abstract. This research examines the relationship between the psychological personalities of perpetrators and victims of sexual abuse in France according to Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory through speech acts delivered by perpetrators and victims in forensic linguistics based on John Searle's speech act theory. Freud's theory emphasizes the dynamics between id, ego, and superego as well as psychosexual personality in psychological development. In this case, there is a statement that has an important meaning in a person's psychological development. Forensic linguistics utilizes language analysis in a legal context, while Searle's speech act theory classifies utterances into assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative. This research on sexual abuse cases committed by priests in France uses a qualitative descriptive approach to analyze the transcript of the suspect's interrogation through expert psychiatry and the victim's testimony through interviews with French online media journalists uploaded through the RMC Youtube Channel on January 13, 2020. The results show that speech acts in a legal context can significantly affect the psychological state of individuals (suspects and victims). This interdisciplinary approach combines key concepts from psychoanalysis and linguistics that show how language as a communication tool can influence and shape the psychological dynamics of individuals in accordance with the theories of Searle and Freud. This research aims to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the interaction between linguistic and psychological factors in a forensic context, with practical implications for a more humanistic approach in the justice system.Keywords: Speech Act, Psychology, Forensic Linguistics, Sexual Abuse

Authors: Ilyas Hamzah Puadi , Istaryatiningtias Istaryatiningtias , Arifin Syaadiah , Ma’mun Akhmad Haqiq
Published: January 2025

Abstract. To date, research on critical reading has seldom been conducted on EFL teachers and their teaching practices. This research, therefore, investigated how EFL teachers conceptualized critical reading and how these conceptions were implemented in their instructional practices. Twenty-nine teachers who taught English at secondary schools in the areas of Jakarta, Bogor, Tangerang, Bekasi, and Sukabumi with teaching experience ranging from three to 11 years participated in this research through interviews or open-response questionnaires. The findings revealed six main concepts of critical reading conveyed by EFL teachers. The concepts identified were analysis, evaluation, inference/conclusion, interpretation, criticism, and questioning. Concerning the application of these concepts in the classroom, the majority of instructional practices observed matched the teachers' conceptualization. Only a few classroom activities did not refer to those concepts. The findings indicate that EFL teachers have a clear understanding of critical reading and the ability to implement critical reading instruction in their teaching practices. It would be beneficial for teachers to expand the variety of critical reading activities they employ. Additionally, further studies on critical reading could be conducted in different areas and at different educational levels to ascertain how other EFL practitioners implement critical reading activities in their classrooms so that EFL teachers can get more insights and references.Keywords: conception of critical reading, teaching practices of critical reading, elements of critical reading, EFL school teachers, qualitative research

Authors: Nurochman Nurochman , Wibowo Agung Prasetyo
Published: January 2025

This research investigates kinds of sexist language and technique of translation from novel Lolita and its translation in Indonesia. The aims of the study are: (1) to analyze the kinds of sexist language in Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita, (2) to analyze the techniques of translation that used to translate sexist expression in the novel Lolita. The study applied a descriptive qualitative method. In this case, the writer collected, classified, and described the data using the method. The source of data consists of documents taken from novel Lolita with its translation. To get the data, the writer read the English and the Indonesian novel carefully and identified the kinds of sexist language and its translations. The writer got 100 data of sexist language and 105 data for techniques of translation. The reason why the data of translation techniques are more than the data of characteristics of sexist language is because there is one data that used more than one translation techniques. The results of the study showed that: (1) there are 5 kinds of sexist language found in the novel i.e. 1) Man as Standard, 2) Women Are Different, 3) Non-Human Terms, 4) Negative Words, and the last, 5) Sex-Role Descriptors, (2) there are 8 kinds of translation technique used to translate sexist expression i.e. adaptation, borrowing, established equivalent, generalization, description, modulation, variation, and deletion.
Challeng in Pronouns Translation: An Analysis of 'Noktah Merah Perkawinan' Subtitles
Authors: Hasana Nurul , Prihantoro Prihantoro
Published: January 2025

In Indonesian, intimacy, social status, and politeness can be linguistically marked. Conversely, a near equivalent English pronoun cannot always completely contextualize the foregoing aspects. This study examines the translation of pronouns in movie subtitles entitled “Noktah Merah Perkawinan” to see if aspects beyond meaning, such as politeness and hierarchy, are conveyed. Data for this study were collected from subtitles in both Indonesian and English. A parallel corpus and mark segment were created for each pronoun found in both subtitles, and pronouns were identified bidirectionally. Using Molina & Albir's translation techniques and Sneddon's analytical schemes of Indonesian pronouns, the translations were analyzed in relation to theories of politeness and grammar. The findings reveal that some translations are acceptable and semantically accurate, but some fail to convey social aspects, kinship relationships, and levels of politeness as expressed in the source language (Indonesian). We argue that this is caused by cultural and grammatical differences between Indonesian and English. These findings have significant social implications, highlighting the need for deeper cultural understanding  in translation practices. When the translated pronouns fail to convey crucial social dynamics, such as hierarchy or respect the subtitled content may unintentionally misrepresent interpersonal relationships, impacting cross-cultural communication.

Published: January 2025

Abstract. Each student possesses a personal philosophy that influences their educational journey. Adopting and implementing specific educational philosophies serve as a guiding framework for students to attain optimal future outcomes. Hence, it is crucial to explore the educational philosophy and its consequences. This article investigates English Education Students’ philosophy of education. The data were collected from 29 students using questionnaires with 40 questions in which participants were to rate statements related to their educational philosophy. A 5-point Likert scale was used to measure participants’ attitudes towards and perceptions of the educational philosophies. The results indicated that most participants adhered to the humanism educational philosophy, while a few had a diverse and inclusive perspective. The findings enhance comprehension of the approaches Indonesian EFL students choose in their studies and provide guidance for educators to customize their teaching techniques to correspond with these perceptions. The findings show that the majority of the EFL preservice teachers are inclined toward a humanistic educational philosophy. The educational implication is that they would assume the role of a teacher who focuses on the development of the whole person, focusing on students’ emotional, intellectual, and social growth in their later teaching career.Keywords: curriculum, educational philosophy, EFL students, teacher candidates

Over the past 30 years, 3D technologies in echocardiographic studies have rapidly developed and are widely used now. In Russia, three-dimensional echocardiography was performed in 1998 at the Bakoulev National Medical Research Center for Cardiovascular Surgery. In 2007 a new method of quantitative analysis for mitral valve – Mitral Valve Quantification – was introduced there.

In addition, 3D-visualization technologies are being created and researched. Now they become widely used in planning of surgical interventions. In such technologies, three-dimensional models of organs and systems can be formed by computer analyzing medical images. The project of system for 3D-imaging of the heart based on echocardiogram contains ready-made heart model of a healthy average person. This model can change configuration according to echo test so a personalized 3D heart model can be presented. The success of cardiac surgery largely depends on visual analysis of pathology development, qualitative assessment of the abnormalities, and options for their correction. The technology for 3D imaging of the heart based on echocardiogram results will allow surgeons to get a clearer picture of the localization, etiology and mechanism of cardiac pathology, as well as to conduct a preparatory virtual surgical operation.

The detection of antigens plays a key role in many diagnostic tests, but current methods often prove to be complex and expensive. There is a pressing need for a simple, fast, reliable, and cost-effective system for quantitative determination of antigens, suitable for both users and laboratories (photometer).

The system will analyze patient fluid samples for a group of viruses, using monoclonal antibodies and different wavelengths of light measured by the photometer. Today, many people actively monitor their health and purchase expensive "smartwatches" to keep track of key indicators.

The research hypothesis is that by analyzing continuous physiological data collected through a wearable device and information provided by patients via a cloud analytical platform, it is possible to detect physiological changes and important clinical signals that may indicate the early stages of various diseases, including viral infections. The sensor can play a special role during pandemics.

Bluetooth connectivity with a smartphone and «smartwatches» equipped with the appropriate application will allow real-time remote transmission of all physiological data. Socially, such an analytical system will help people monitor critical health indicators, ensure early disease detection, and study multiple antigens simultaneously. This will give individuals confidence in their health status and the ability to improve their quality of life.

A LIBERDADE COMO CONDIÇÃO INDISSOCIÁVEL DO SER MAIS EM PAULO FREIRE
Authors: Mateus de Sá Geraldo
Published: January 2025

Esse artigo discute a questão da liberdade como condição indissociável do ser mais em Paulo Freire. A concepção de ser humano e de liberdade desse pensador se distancia de toda e qualquer visão reducionista e autoritária. Portanto, ela se vincula a uma proposta de educação humanizadora, que busca superar a contradição oprimido-opressor. Assim sendo, o processo de libertação de ambos se pauta no diálogo e na afirmação da palavra transformadora de homens e de mulheres em busca do ser mais. Numa concepção em que educar é humanizar, o sentido de liberdade precisa ser parte de uma dimensão ética e solidária, e não tomada apenas como um problema meramente teórico ou abstrato. À vista disso, ser livre é uma conquista a ser buscada por homens e mulheres enquanto sujeitos de suas próprias escolhas e decisões. Também, é em comunhão que os seres humanos experienciam a condição de ser e existir de forma verdadeiramente livre.
OS MUSEUS VIRTUAIS E MEMORIAIS: ESPAÇOS NÃO FORMAIS DE ENSINO E DE RESGATE DA MEMÓRIA DAS INSTITUIÇÕES ORIGINÁRIAS AOS INSTITUTOS FEDERAIS

Published: January 2025

A lei nº 11.892, publicada em 2008, promoveu a mais recente transformação da Rede Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia (RFEPCT), unificando diversas instituições com distintas histórias e culturas, sendo elas os Centros Federais de Educação Tecnológica, as Escolas Agrotécnicas, as Escolas Técnicas Federais e Escolas vinculadas à Universidades Federais, que passaram a compor os Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia. Considerando a história secular da educação profissional e tecnológica no país, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar os museus e memoriais virtuais criados pelas instituições que compõem a RFEPCT. O percurso metodológico baseado em pesquisas bibliográficas propiciou o estudo de sete casos. Para cada uma das iniciativas, foi feito um breve histórico da instituição, com seu contexto da criação, os objetivos e justificativas de criação do museu ou memorial e as principais informações encontradas por meio da navegação no site. Em observação às iniciativas encontradas, percebe-se que algumas delas apresentam como justificativa a necessidade de as instituições buscarem um espaço que resgate sua memória, que seja configurado como espaços não formal de ensino e que fortaleça os laços de identidade e pertencimento. Considerando o resultado desta pesquisa, pode-se concluir que ainda é muito pequeno o número de museus e memoriais virtuais com o objetivo de resgatar a história de instituições da RFEPCT, embora seja consenso que os Institutos Federais ainda não consolidaram uma identidade própria.

Published: January 2025

Nosso estudo traz resultados parciais de pesquisa de tese onde nos propomos, entre outras questões, responder ao seguinte questionamento: “quais experiências formativas são narradas no contexto de aprendizagem em uma escola com alto IDEB?”. Objetivamos evidenciar as experiências de aprendizagem que fazem parte da rotina pedagógica da escola.  Adotamos os princípios epistemológicos da Pesquisa (auto)biográfica. A investigação toma como corpus para a análise: narrativas orais e escritas de 20 (vinte) crianças e narrativa da coordenadora pedagógica. Nos ancoramos teoricamente em Passeggi, Nascimento e Rodrigues (2018); Crahay (2013), Ribeiro (2013; 2014). Os resultados apontam para a escola como espaço de equidade através de ações educativas que garantam: a frequência; educação complementar e individualizada no reforço escolar no contraturno e no horário em que as crianças estão regularmente matriculadas; desenvolvimento de projetos pedagógicos interdisciplinares, ao longo do ano, com vistas à efetivação da aprendizagem; a participação da família nas atividades da escola.

Authors: Cruz Maria José da , Amaral Darliane Silva do , Alves Francione Charapa
Published: January 2025

O seguinte estudo de caso teve como objetivo investigar a percepção docente do processo de transição da criança entre a Educação Infantil e o 1º ano do Ensino Fundamental l. A investigação apontou que os docentes consideram haver necessidade de adaptação da criança ao entrar no novo ciclo de estudo, pois a rotina escolar é nova e diferente da educação infantil, especialmente, no que se refere a diminuição do tempo das brincadeiras e uma necessidade urgente da criança ser independente/autônoma. O espaço físico da sala de aula se torna a principal referência para realização das atividades pedagógicas do 1º ano e há um aumento da quantidade de tarefas escolares. Na análise de conteúdo das entrevistas identificou-se que a transição se configura na preparação da criança para as novas exigências do sujeito aluno, que ao chegar no 1º ano é inserido na sistematização do ensino e nos processos de avaliações quantitativas, não enfatiza o acolhimento na condição do ser criança.

Authors: Federico Benetti , Luis Geffner , Yan Duarte , Ernesto Peñaherrera
Published: January 2025

Direct myocardial transplant of HFDSCs (human fetal derived stem cells) by open chest surgical procedure was performed in 10 patients with Heart Failure (HF) due to no ischemic, no chagasic dilated cardiomyopathy. All 10 patients survived the operation. At 40 months, the mean (±SD) NYHA class decreased from 3.4 ± 0.5 to 1.33 ± 0.5 (p = .001); the mean EF increased 31%, from 26.6% ± F) 34.8% ± 7.2% (p = .005); and the mean ETT increased 291.3%, from 4.25 minutes to 16.63 minutes (128.9% increase in metabolic equivalents, from 2.46 to 5.63) (p < .0001); the mean LVEDD decreased 15%, from 6.85 ± 0.6 cm to 5.80 ± 0.58 cm (p < .001); mean performance in the 6-minute walk test increased by 43.2%, from 251 ± 113.1 seconds to 360 0 seconds (p = .01); the mean distance increased 64.4%, from 284.4 144.9 m to 468.2 ± 89.8 m (p = .004); and the mean result in the Minnesota test decreased from 71 ± 27.3 to 6 ± 5.9
(p < .001). Six patients survived after 40 months; 5 of them had complete reverse remodeling after 3 months after transplants. The average age at the moment of the transplants was 62 years (s/d 11.6).
Results: The first patient died at 5,4 years for an infection; the second patient died at,7,4 years for heart failure; the third patient died at 8,4 years for heart failure; the fourth patient died at 10 years for heart failure and the fifth patient died at 14,4 years after transplant at the age of 83 for heart failure. The average age at the moment of death was 70 years (s/d12.9). The survival rate at 4 years was 100% (K/M) and at 14 years (25%K/M).
Conclusion: These initial worldwide experiences with the surgical direct transplant of liver fetal stem cells in patients with end-stage HF shows clearly the positive effect in the reverse remodeling of the left ventricle of 50% of the cohort and excellent long-term results in these types of patients opening a new avenue for treating end-stage HF patients without any other option of treatment.

The main feature of modern linguistics is the close study of the language with a person's consciousness, worldview and thought process, as well as with his practical activities. For this reason, the article emphasizes the importance of taking into account, first of all, the main symptoms of the phenomenon of the linguistic personality in the study of the language. In this sense, it is shown that truth is not limited to the perception of being and one's environment. Since a working linguistic person lives in the same world, the language, along with objective reality, is analyzed to determine whether the person himself is a world-recognizing entity. In this regard, it is clear that the issue of language and thinking, which is considered in the context of the cognitive-conceptual orientation of modern linguistics, will become increasingly important. Because the solution to this problem allows us to define the basic laws of the emergence of abstract, abstract concepts that occur in semantic spaces of different languages. Moreover, it is known that a person's knowledge of objective reality is organized in the form of abstract mental structures, concepts that define various spheres of human activity. That is, a person thinks through concepts, comparing them with each other and sometimes combining them to form new concepts in his thinking. Therefore, based on the ideas presented in the scientific linguistic literature, the author understands the concept as a global unit of thought as a structured quantum of knowledge.

Formulation and evaluation of sunscreen spray gel with lime peel extract (Citrus aurantifolia)
Authors: Mukesh Barman  , Tilotma Sahu
Published: January 2025

Background: Prolonged exposure to sunlight poses detrimental effects on the skin. Lime peel extract, containing over 60% flavonoids, demonstrates significant potential as a sunscreen agent due to the presence of conjugated aromatic benzene rings capable of absorbing UV-A and UV-B radiation. To mitigate sun-induced skin damage, lime peel extract has been formulated into a spray gel, offering rapid drying properties that enhance user convenience and comfort during application.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of varying concentrations of lime peel extract in sunscreen spray gel formulations on their physical properties and in vitro sun protection factor (SPF) values.

Methods: Lime peel crude extract was obtained using 70% ethanol as the extraction solvent. The extract was incorporated into sunscreen spray gel formulations at concentrations of 5% (F1), 10% (F2), and 15% (F3). These formulations were assessed for their physical properties, including pH, viscosity, spreadability, drying time, and adhesion, alongside their in vitro SPF values.

Results: The concentration of lime peel extract significantly influenced both the physical properties and SPF values of the spray gel formulations. All formulations (F1, F2, and F3) exhibited satisfactory physical stability and met the quality criteria for spray gel preparations. The SPF values for F1, F2, and F3 were determined to be 15, 20, and 30, respectively, indicating a progressive increase in photoprotective efficacy with higher extract concentrations.

Conclusion: The sunscreen spray gel formulations containing lime peel extract at concentrations of 5% (F1), 10% (F2), and 15% (F3) demonstrated physical stability and provided moderate to high SPF protection. Among the formulations, F3 (15%) exhibited the highest SPF value of 30, suggesting its superior efficacy as a sunscreen agent.
Rethinking pharmacovigilance: Building inclusive drug safety systems for marginalized populations
Authors: Ashish Jain  , Zahabia Adenwala
Published: January 2025

Pharmacovigilance is critical in facilitating efforts targeted at closing the health gap by monitoring, assessing and preventing the occurrence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) across diverse populations. This review aims to evaluate how pharmacovigilance systems can help mitigate healthcare inequalities specifically in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). The role of pharmacovigilance as part of the modern drug safety system integrated within a healthcare system became indispensable during the COVID-19 pandemic when drug decision-making required strong supervision systems in terms of vaccine safety. However challenges exist, such as lack of resources, training and inadequate infrastructure that is particularly apparent in LMICs. The manuscript considers the social determinants of health; structural inequities and other system factors that account for the differences in the health status and medication safety among different marginalized groups. The use of modern technology such as electronic health records coupled with data mining strategies is an effective way of enhancing pharmacovigilance. Community engagement, educating healthcare providers, and collaborating internationally appear to be strong strategies for enhancing pharmacovigilance systems. Case studies from Bolivia and Nigeria illustrate such a strategy effectively. The review concludes that healthcare professionals and drug monitoring systems must be strengthened, and improved and recommends a unified approach involving healthcare workers, policymakers, and communities to build robust, equitable drug safety monitoring systems.

Enteritis is the inflammation of the small intestines which could lead to diarrhea. Bacterial gastroenteritis is a digestive system problem caused by bacteria. The symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fever, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. These can be treated with antibiotics, but in recent times, especially in economically developing countries like Nigeria, these drugs have become extremely costly resulting to the low purchasing power of the greater populace. Antibiotic resistance due to abuse also necessitated a growing need for alternative and affordable source of anti-bacteria medication. Ocimum gratissimum leaves were collected, selected and pulverized, it was macerated in ethanol for 3days with intermediate agitation, filtered, and concentrated. The extract was subjected to LD50. Phytochemical analysis were done on the plants leaves to check for secondary metabolites. A pilot study of E.coli was carried out with 8 albino rats grouped into four. Different titrations of E.coli were administered intraperitoneal to the rats to determine the minimum amount of E.coli capable of infecting the rats, the stool sample was inoculated in a sterile broth and then cultured in an EMB agar plate selective for E.coli. After 24 hours culture, a 0.8 mL was selected as it showed the least colony. The extract of Ocimum gratissimum was formulated using 0.5%w/v, 1.25%w/v and 0.9% normal saline as control in Group A, B and C respectively. These were used to treat the 20 albino wistar rats grouped A to D (at n = 5). Group D Negative control was not infected with 0.8 mL of E.coli broth. The results showed that Ocimum gratissimum is rich in flavonoids, tannins, saponins, resins, terpenoids, alkaloids, fats and oils. Pictorial results of the histopathology shown that albino rats of group A and C have normal to mild intestinal tract, not erupted or distorted but that it is dose dependent as group B with 1.25%w/v extract restored the intestinal linings of the albino rats to that of the Negative control which was not infected intraperitoneal. Results proved that Ocimum gratissimum has activity against gastroenteritis bacteria E. coli and can serve as an alternative in treatment of bacteria enteritis as it is readily available and affordable.
