Published: January 2023

The Arabic language is considered one of the bonds that unite the Muslim community, and the connection between Islam and Arabic, is one of the most wonderful miracles of Islam. Islam has taken the language out of its narrow scope by making it a tool of thought, spirit and religion which paved the way for other people to join under the banner of Islam. Learn Arabic and create civilization, because Civilization only came through language and civilization in a kind of brief definition is a language, so the Arabic language has been able to bring together peoples of different races to manufacture a civilization advancement that the world has lived for a long period of time, and it is noted for the association of Islam and Muslims with the Arabic language, we find that the prosperous era of Islamic civilization in which Muslims connected with the Arabic language, and when it was established National and sectarian strife and Muslims abandoning the Arabic language was an indication of Muslims abandoning civilization leadership. The Classical Arabic language today faces serious challenges that are about to befall it, and it needs to help it withstand the challenges, and the hope was pinned on the various media; to play most of this role; The mass media - such as television, radio, satellite channels, the press and other important means of culture and education- they can play a role unparalleled in serving the Arabic language, spreading it among people, attractive it to them, and redressing it, from the tyranny of colloquialisms, and their infiltration into every activity. One of the activities of our Arab life; these devices have entered every home, and their seduction and lure have settled all souls and hearts, and have become a means of destruction and sabotage. Arab media have begun to openly promote colloquialisms (slang language) increasing their arrogance, and most of the programs presented on satellite channels are presented in the colloquial language instead of original/ root language. The matter went beyond dramas, serials, and films, and included some cultural and educational programs, political commentaries, and even news bulletins on some satellite channels. This abstract is containing to challenges for Classical Arabic language and the role of media in it.

Published: January 2023

Form the day first after landing down of Adam and Eve on the earth; the human life depended upon the two basic pillars; man and woman, but later on, the concepts of people regarding woman remained different. This differentiation was because of depending of each individual on his own mentality, and his own point of view about the woman due to her attitude and acts she performed. For the reformation of human life and saving him from the differentiation and declines, in every era, Almighty Allah, send messenger who guided their followers about the mistakes happened in human life intentionally or unintentionally. Whenever the teachings of a messenger regarding the humanity and especially woman were bypassed by anybody, some unsatisfactory circumstances occurred. All these probably miss-happened because of constituting the different contradictive point of view by thinkers about life and especially about woman, which was in contrast to the teaching/instruction of Almighty Allah, resultantly it caused strange decisions based on cruelty and injustice to women. Like so, there were some thinkers like Plato, Aristos etc. who wrote down their point of view regarding right of property and inheritance of a woman, which are somehow, in contrast to the sematic teachings. This article discusses the theories of some non-Muslim scholars, who lived before the revelations of Islam and even before Christ and after Islam. It analyses their theories about the said right of a woman in comparative style with a conclusion given at the end. All this study has been offered in a scholarly way. It will open new aspect of research for the up-coming researchers.
What Do Technical Functions Supervene On?
Authors: Peterson Martin ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2023

According to the dual nature thesis, technical artifacts have a dual nature: they are material objects that have a material base, but also functions that depend on their intentional history, in particular their intended and actual use. In an influential paper, Houkes and Meijers argue that the dual nature thesis does not square well with the seemingly plausible idea that the function of a technological artifact supervenes on its material base. They correctly point out that many versions of the supervenience thesis are unable to account for the following two-way underdetermination condition: “an artefact type, as a functional type, is multiply realizable in material structures or systems, while a given material basis can realize a variety of functions” (Houkes and Meijers 2006, 120). In this paper, I articulate a supervenience thesis that is compatible with the two-way underdetermination condition.
Sociotechnical Eudaimonia in a Digital Future
Authors: Tafdrup Oliver Alexander ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2023

Through a discourse analysis of core documents related to the development of a new primary school subject titled technology comprehension (TC), this article explores how sociotechnical imaginaries of (trans)human perfectibility are promoted in technology education in Denmark. Based on the idea that transhumanism can be understood as a type of eudemonistic virtue ethics, I argue that TC is shaped by the idea that the purpose of technology education is to prepare pupils for the coming of a future characterised by a profound digital transformation of society and human existence through the cultivation of ‘transhuman virtues’ related to normative—and politically produced—ideas of human perfectibility or, in other words, a sociotechnical eudaimonia. I identify two types of transhuman imaginaries, and thus two versions of sociotechnical eudaimonia, in the discourse of TC: 1) the imaginary of technological extension and 2) the imaginary of technological adaptation.

Authors: Cauilan Maria Alexandria , Reyes Jose Ramil
Published: January 2023

The state of mental health among Filipino college students remains a major concern, especially in the context of the pandemic. Cases of mental health-related problems have been seen to have risen, particularly among tertiary-level students. Fortunately, academic institutions are working to address these ongoing issues that hinder students' social functioning. However, there is a need for further research on the actual presence of psychosocial support services in universities to know and understand how school systems address the concerning problem about the mental health of their students. Identifying and discerning these support systems, as well as the gaps that come with them, is crucial in providing relevant knowledge and information for the students, faculty, and university administrators alike, to be more aware of the pressing need to come up with strategies and plans in the form of equipping more effective and more efficient psychosocial support systems to ultimately help college students in need. This paper identifies the psychosocial support systems in place among Metro Manila universities that offer social work degree programs, including the benefits, opportunities, risks, and challenges they have come across, to provide a background of what is happening and what is needed to attain social functioning, all for the students’ well-being.

People worldwide are living longer. Today most people can expect to live into their sixties and beyond. Every country in the world is experiencing growth in both the size and the proportion of older persons. By 2030, 1 in 6 people worldwide will be 60 years or over. The share of the population aged 60 years and over will increase from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion. By 2050, the world's population of people aged 60 years and older will double (2.1 billion). The number of persons aged 80 years or older is expected to triple between 2020 and 2050 to reach 426 million. While this shift in the distribution of a country's population towards older ages – known as population aging – started in high-income countries (for example, in Japan, 30% of the population is already over 60 years old), it is now low- and middle-income countries that are experiencing the greatest change. By 205the 0, two-thirds of the world's population over 60 years will live in low- and aging-income countries. In Brazil, the population is getting older. Data released on 22/07/2022 at 10:00 am by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) show that, in 2021, Brazil had more than 10% of its population formed by elderly people aged 65 or over the deity. According to the survey, last year (2021), the Brazilian population was estimated at 212.5 million people. Of these, 21.6 million were aged 65 or over, representing 10.2%.

Dünya’da meyvesi yenen ürünlerin tarımsal üretimi yaygın bir şekilde yapılmaktadır. Bu ürünler içerisinde avokado da yer almaktadır. Avokadonun çoğunlukla meyve eti tüketilmekte ve yan ürünleri (meyve kabuğu, tohumu vb.) israf edilmektedir. Fakat bu ürünlerin kimyasal bileşenler açısından zengin olduğu ve değerlendirilmesi gerektiği sıklıkla vurgulanmıştır. Özellikle avokado tohumlarının bol miktarda antioksidan madde içerdiği ve son yıllarda çay olarak tüketiminin arttığı gözlenmiştir. Bu nedenle çalışmada, Antalya ilinin Alanya ilçesinde yetiştirilen “Bacon”, “Fuerte”, “Zutano” ve “Hass” avokado çeşitlerinin farklı dokularının (meyve, yaprak ve tohum) meyve özellikleri ve biyokimyasal içeriklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Meyve ağırlığı 253.9 g ile 123.0 g, meyve eni 68.0 mm ile 56.4 mm, meyve boyunun 107.9 mm ile 77.9mm, tohum ağırlığının 39.5 g ile 20.7 g, tohum eninin 31.9 mm ile 26.5 mm, tohum boyunun 51.3 mm ile 31.9 mm ve meyve eti sertliğinin 20.3 N ile 14.1 N arasında değiştiği tespit edilmiştir. Fiziksel görünüş olarak değerlendirildiğinde Zutano çeşidine ait meyvelerin diğer çeşitlerden daha parlak olduğu saptanmıştır. Bacon ve Hass çeşitlerine ait meyvelerin daha mat bir görüntüye sahip olduğu, renk değerlerinin de en düşük sonuçlar verdiği belirlenmiştir. Meyve hasat kriterleri arasında yer alan SÇKM, titre edilebilir asitlik ve pH değerleri incelendiğinde tüm çeşitlerin birbirine yakın asitlik değerlerine sahip olduğu saptanmıştır. Araştırma bulgularında meyve özellikleri ve biyokimyasal içerik bakımından “Bacon” çeşidi öne çıkarken diğer çeşitlerin de tüketim için uygun besin kaynağı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca araştırma bulgularının konu ile ilgili yapılacak sonraki çalışmalar, tüketim, yetiştiricilik ve sağlık ile ilgili soruların cevabı için de uygun bir kaynak olacağı düşünülmektedir.
Integrating Islamic Ruling and the Medical Concept: A Study of the Hermaphrodite Inheritance

Determining the gender of the heirs is important in the ruling of Islamic inheritance. Hence, Muslim jurists made efforts in determining the gender of hermaphrodites. Taking the safer position, the common practice is for the inheritance to be divided into two: the greater part of the share is withheld and the lesser portion is given out to the hermaphroditic inheritors along with their heirs until their gender is certified. This typically leads to disagreements among the jurists, hence, subsequently leading to a tedious process of certification. This protracted disagreement combined with a much prolonged certification process may harm the inheritors’ right due to the delay in judgement. This research aims to define the biological identity of a hermaphrodite and determine his sex according to the medical concept, as well as integrating the methods adopted by Muslim scholars to solve the issue of hermaphrodite inheritance. Both descriptive and analytical approaches are used in ensuring accurate knowledge transfer and trust in attribution. This research has found that the medical definition of a hermaphrodite is the most accurate and the most correct to end the dispute when dividing inheritance. Hence, this opens a wider area for further research that relies on medical information as evidence to be taken when studying Islamic legal rulings in ensuring the cohesion of society by preserving the rights of its members and maintaining their material and moral properties.
Tell the Truth or Keep Silent: A Critical Study of Ethical Advertising Through Malaysian Advertising Self-Regulation System
Authors:   Department of Media Studies, Universiti Malaya Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Mohd Jafar Noor Hanan , Mohd Adnan Hamedi ,   Department of Media Studies, Universiti Malaya Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Published: January 2023

Consumers are often subjected to various forms of non-ethical content, such as over-claiming, misleading facts and advertisers' misleading promises. When advertising contains offensive information, it may cause harm to the consumers relying upon it. Moral conflicts arise when advertisements lose their informative value and become merely propaganda for the profit of products and services. Advertisers easily produce advertisements displaying a culture that is not appropriate according to the morality principles of the nation. This paper discusses Malaysia's framework for self-regulation to control the safety of consumers and the obligation of professionals to help consumers from the perspectives of the truthfulness value of the advertising content and authenticity values of the advertisers. This study aims to examine how Malaysia's self-regulation system embraces the principles of truthfulness and authenticity in their messages. The data were obtained from five (5) Malaysian Advertisement Self-regulations (MASR) model through content analysis. The software NVivo 12 is used to conduct themes and sub-themes. The findings indicate an increasing prevalence on the values of truthfulness but do not stress the authenticity values when assessing the concepts that must be considered in the advertising field to reduce adverse commercial issues.
Legitimizing Ar-Rahnu Through Tawarruq: What Practitioners Have to Say

Effective February 2020, all Ar-Rahnu providers were required to streamline their existing products to the new ar-rahn structure based on the Islamic contract bay al tawarruq and rahn. The action was taken in response to the decision made by the Shariah Advisory Council (SAC) of Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) where they claim that the practise of ar-rahn violates the shariah rules as outlined in the Rahn Policy (BNM, 2019). Nevertheless, the BNM enforcement was effective only for IBs or any institutions governed by the central bank and was not applicable to Ar-Rahnu cooperatives. Recent studies indicate that few studies have addressed the implementation of the new ar-rahn structure, and almost no inductive research has been conducted to seek feedback from Ar-Rahnu cooperatives' practioners related to the current changes in the ar-rahn scheme. This paper attempts to obtain views from cooperative members on this particular issue. Furthermore, this study compares the practise of the former ar-rahn scheme with the new alternative ar-rahn. A case study design was employed, and data was obtained through interviews and document review. Emergent findings from the interviews reveal that the majority of Ar-Rahnu cooperatives have adapted to the new ar-rahn scheme. However, Ar-Rahnu cooperatives faced several challenges in realising this new structure. Support from the regulator and management of the cooperatives could expedite the implementation of the new ar-rahn structure, thus enhancing the adherence to shariah. This study contributes to the body of knowledge in Ar-Rahnu and has significant implications for policymakers, customers, and cooperatives.
L’angklung américain : spectre d’une rencontre coloniale oubliée
Authors: Bellemare Laurent
Published: January 2023

En 1900, la compagnie américaine J.C. Deagan Company spécialisée en xylophones a breveté l’invention dudeagan organ chimes, un carillon d’idiophones en métal plaqué de nickel. Composé d’une série d’instruments détachables et correspondant chacun à une note, l’instrument se joue en faisant trembler chaque unité. Le son cristallin qui en résulte est produit par la vibration de l’air dans de petits tubes d’orgue accordés sur une fréquence et ses octaves supérieures. Aujourd’hui, cet instrument a survécu à la dissolution de sa compagnie-mère comme une curiosité de l’histoire de la facture instrumentale américaine. Toutefois, la conception de l’organ chimessuggère une origine antérieure en raison de sa ressemblance frappante avec l’angklungd’Indonésie, un type de percussion en bambou omniprésent à travers l’archipel sud-est asiatique. Jamais explicitement référencée par la compagnie, la clé de cette rencontre se situe vraisemblablement dans la dissémination des cultures d’ailleurs en Amérique à l’époque coloniale. Cet article tente de rapprocher l’invention de cet instrument avec l’événement majeur qu’a été l’Exposition universelle de 1893 à Chicago. Étant donné le grand impact exercé par le village javanais sur l’imaginaire américain, il est peu probable que la création sept ans plus tard de l’organ chimesoit issue d’une simple coïncidence. Paradoxalement, cette invention est rapidement tombée en désuétude auxxe siècle, alors que l’angklunga connu une renaissance en Asie. Appropriation culturelle tombée dans l’oubli, le cas de l’organ chimespermet de repenser le discours historique sur la facture instrumentale et les inventions musicales.
Las TIC como recurso para trabajar el Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial en el aula
Authors: Ponsoda López de Atalaya Santiago , Moreno-Vera Juan Ramon , Ponce-Gea Ana Isabel
Published: January 2023

La utilización de las TIC como recurso para el tratamiento de las manifestaciones pa- trimoniales en el aula representa un avance en cuanto al aprovechamiento de la potencialidad del patrimonio como recurso educativo y, sin duda, propicia una mayor accesibilidad al mismo. En esta línea, el trabajo que aquí se presenta se centra en la utilización de las TIC para trabajar el patrimo- nio inmaterial en el aula a partir de una innovación didáctica en el marco de la formación inicial del profesorado, en la que participaron un total de 54 estudiantes de la asignatura de Didáctica de las Ciencias Sociales: Historia del grado de Maestro/a en Educación Primaria de la Universitat d’Alacant/ Universidad de Alicante. Dicha innovación consistió en la elaboración de un museo vir- tual centrado en diversas manifestaciones del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial, contribuyendo de este modo desde el ámbito educativo a su difusión y promoción, tal como recoge la Ley 10/2015 para la salvaguarda del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial (“Ley 10/2015, de 26 de mayo, para la salvaguardia del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial”, 2015). Así pues, a partir de la creación de este museo virtual de aula, y de las propuestas realizadas por el alumnado para trabajar este tipo de contenidos patrimo- niales, se analiza el uso de las TIC como herramienta para la elaboración de recursos y propuestas didácticas centradas en el tratamiento de manifestaciones del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial en la etapa de Educación Primaria. De este modo el trabajo entronca, a su vez, con la formación del futuro profesorado en lo que respecta a las competencias digitales docentes, poniéndose de manifiesto, a la luz de los resultados, una divergencia entre el uso manipulativo de los recursos digitales y su aplica- bilidad a la hora de trabajar con ellos en el aula, ya que las personas participantes muestran un alto grado de competencias digitales a la hora de elaborar sus propias creaciones, lo que se contrapone a la escasa presencia de tecnologías educativas en el diseño de propuestas didácticas concretas.

Stratovolcanoes on the Chilean-Bolivian border as geoatraction
Authors: Panajew Paweł , Gałaś Andrzej
Published: January 2023

The cluster of stratovolcanoes located on the Chilean-Bolivian border, in the Western Cordillera, is composed of typical, for that part of the Central Volcanic Zone in the Andes, volcanic landforms. The highest volcano is the Nevado Sajama (6,542 m a.s.l.), apparently extinct. The other: Parinacota (6,336 m a.s.l.), Pomerape (6,222 m a.s.l.), Acotango (6,052 m a.s.l.) and Cerro Quisiquisini (5,542 m a.s.l.) were all active in both the Pleistocene and the Holocene. Recently, only the Guallatiri Volcano (6,071 m a.s.l.) is still active. The summits of these mountains are covered with permanent snow or ice caps. On the slopes, there are post-glacial valleys,rocks glaciers and debris avalanches. In the vicinity of volcanic cones, active fumaroles occur, along with hot springs, geysers and high-mountain peat bogs (bofedales), in addition to one of the highest in the world mountain lakes – the Lago Chungará (4,520 m a.s.l.). The unique landform is a huge debris avalanche and was formed during the eruption of the Parinacota Volcano. Small villages settled by Aymara Indians and their cultural monuments complete the extraordinary landscape of the Altiplano Plateau. The values of biotic nature are also unique and deserving of protection on both sides of the state border. Moreover, these sites have been registered into the UNESCO World Heritage List. Modest accommodation facilities located off the main roads satisfy the qualified tourists interested in volcanology. The authors describe the grueling trekking trails, the climbing routes leading to the summits of volcanoes and the other geoattractions, accessible for ordinary hikers.

In patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), clinical resistances such as androgen receptor (AR) mutation, AR overexpression, and AR splice variants (ARVs) limit the effectiveness of second-generation antiandrogens (SGAs). Several strategies have been implemented to develop novel antiandrogens to circumvent the occurring resistance. Here, we found and identified a bifunctional small molecule Z15, which is both an effective AR antagonist and a selective AR degrader. Z15 could directly interact with the ligand-binding domain (LBD) and activation function-1 region of AR, and promote AR degradation through the proteasome pathway. In vitro and in vivo studies showed that Z15 efficiently suppressed AR, AR mutants and ARVs transcription activity, downregulated mRNA and protein levels of AR downstream target genes, thereby overcoming AR LBD mutations, AR amplification, and ARVs-induced SGAs resistance in CRPC. In conclusion, our data illustrate the synergistic importance of AR antagonism and degradation in advanced prostate cancer treatment.

Trisomy 21, the genetic cause of Down syndrome, disrupts primary cilia formation and function, in part through elevated Pericentrin, a centrosome protein encoded on chromosome 21. Yet how trisomy 21 and elevated Pericentrin disrupt cilia-related molecules and pathways, and the in vivo phenotypic relevance remain unclear. Utilizing ciliogenesis time course experiments combined with light microscopy and electron tomography, we reveal that chromosome 21 polyploidy elevates Pericentrin and microtubules away from the centrosome that corral MyosinVA and EHD1, delaying ciliary membrane delivery and mother centriole uncapping essential for ciliogenesis. If given enough time, trisomy 21 cells eventually ciliate, but these ciliated cells demonstrate persistent trafficking defects that reduce transition zone protein localization and decrease sonic hedgehog signaling in direct anticorrelation with Pericentrin levels. Consistent with cultured trisomy 21 cells, a mouse model of Down syndrome with elevated Pericentrin has fewer primary cilia in cerebellar granule neuron progenitors and thinner external granular layers at P4. Our work reveals that elevated Pericentrin from trisomy 21 disrupts multiple early steps of ciliogenesis and creates persistent trafficking defects in ciliated cells. This pericentrosomal crowding mechanism results in signaling deficiencies consistent with the neurological phenotypes found in individuals with Down syndrome.

Self-cleaving ribozymes are RNA molecules that catalyze the cleavage of their own phosphodiester backbones. These ribozymes are found in all domains of life and are also a tool for biotechnical and synthetic biology applications. Self-cleaving ribozymes are also an important model of sequence-to-function relationships for RNA because their small size simplifies synthesis of genetic variants and self-cleaving activity is an accessible readout of the functional consequence of the mutation. Here, we used a high-throughput experimental approach to determine the relative activity for every possible single and double mutant of five self-cleaving ribozymes. From this data, we comprehensively identified non-additive effects between pairs of mutations (epistasis) for all five ribozymes. We analyzed how changes in activity and trends in epistasis map to the ribozyme structures. The variety of structures studied provided opportunities to observe several examples of common structural elements, and the data was collected under identical experimental conditions to enable direct comparison. Heatmap-based visualization of the data revealed patterns indicating structural features of the ribozymes including paired regions, unpaired loops, non-canonical structures, and tertiary structural contacts. The data also revealed signatures of functionally critical nucleotides involved in catalysis. The results demonstrate that the data sets provide structural information similar to chemical or enzymatic probing experiments, but with additional quantitative functional information. The large-scale data sets can be used for models predicting structure and function and for efforts to engineer self-cleaving ribozymes.
Protein feeding mediates sex pheromone biosynthesis in an insect

Protein feeding is critical for male reproductive success in many insect species. However, how protein affects the reproduction remains largely unknown. Using Bactrocera dorsalis as the study model, we investigated how protein feeding regulated sex pheromone synthesis. We show that protein ingestion is essential for sex pheromone synthesis in male. While protein feeding or deprivation did not affect Bacillus abundance, transcriptome analysis revealed that sarcosine dehydrogenase (Sardh) in protein-fed males regulates the biosynthesis of sex pheromones by increasing glycine and threonine (sex pheromone precursors) contents. RNAi-mediated loss-of-function of Sardh decreases glycine, threonine, and sex pheromone contents and results in decreased mating ability in males. The study links male feeding behavior with discrete patterns of gene expression that plays role in sex pheromone synthesis, which in turn translates to successful copulatory behavior of the males.
Gerüchte, klatsch und propaganda. Der florentinische herrscherwechsel im jahr 1537
Authors: Lentz Christina
Published: January 2023

Dieser Beitrag zeigt an einem historischen Fallbeispiel, wie die Anwendung sozialwissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse über die Entstehung, Verbreitung und Funktion von Gerüchten für die historische Gerüchteforschung fruchtbar gemacht werden kann. Die Ermordung des ersten florentinischen Herzogs Alessandro de‘ Medici und die Thronbesteigung Cosimo de‘ Medicis im Jahr 1537 war von einem Cluster von Gerüchten begleitet. Im Rekurs auf wegweisende sozialpsychologische Theorien, insbesondere die Arbeiten von Tamutsu Shibutani, kann die Produktion von Gerüchten als kommunikativer Sinnstiftungsprozess in einer als krisenhaft verstandenen Situation begriffen werden. Da der Erfolg von Gerüchten von deren Glaubwürdigkeit abhängt, können überdies Rückschlüsse darauf gezogen werden, wie der Thronwechsel jenseits offizieller Kanäle bewertet wurde. Da Menschen auf der Basis dessen handeln, was sie als glaubwürdig empfinden (nicht dessen, was nachweislich richtig ist), ist die Instrumentalisierung von Gerüchten für persönliche und politische Zwecke attraktiv. Die Möglichkeit einer solchen Manipulation improvisierter Kommunikation wird in der Forschung kontrovers diskutiert. Im analysierten Fallbeispiel wird sie am Beispiel Kardinal Cibos untersucht, der die Selektion von Gerüchten über die bewusste Generierung von symbolträchtigen Bildern für seine Zwecke zu manipulieren suchte. Die Analyse zeigt, dass Gerüchte, wenn sie nicht auf ihren Wahrheitsgehalt, sondern auf ihre Inhalte und Funktionen hin untersucht werden, neue Einsichten auf historische Prozesse ermöglichen können.
An Analysis of the Combination of Chinese and Western Cultures in Discrete Literature -- Taking Li Yan's English novel Snow Lily as an Example
Authors: Bo CUI
Published: January 2023

Cultural amalgamation is not only a striking phenomenon in discrete literary works, but also a literary reality in the creation of non-native language literary works in the multicultural context. Through the text analysis of the latest English novel "Snow Lily" by Li Yan, a Chinese Canadian writer, this paper discusses the application of the combination of Chinese and Western cultures in literary works in the multicultural context. At this time, Utopia plays a negative role in reality, alerting people to reset their hopes in time, in order to connect with the future; Although it is an exotic life from the bottom of the society, the protagonist Lily never gives up her efforts. She is pursuing a kind of universal values about the growth of the soul and human beings. Utopia has realized the budding role of the future ideology here.

Introduction: Hypertension (HTN) is a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, particularly in diabetic people. Because HTN and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) frequently co-exist, HTN is a significant risk factor for chronic problems masked HTN affects around a one third of T2DM patients who have normal Blood Pressure (BP) readings in the clinic. T2DM patients frequently have normal office BP (BP) and no nocturnal BP falling. The non dipping BP pattern raises the risk of cardiovascular events and damage to target organs. Multiple BP recordings can be obtained with Ambulatory BP Monitoring (ABPM). By providing variability of BP, and diurnal variation in BP, it assists the treating physician in the diagnosis and management of HTN. Aim: To elucidate the prevalence of non dipping pattern in T2DM and the characteristics of diabetics who have non dipping pattern using ambulatory monitoring. Materials and Methods: This was an observational study carried out in the Department of Medicine at JIPMER, Pondicherry, India. Between January 2016 and December 2017, 110 patients with T2DM were visited to Medicine Outpatient Department and the Diabetic Clinic. Out of 110, a total of 62 patients, with an average age of 46.67 years, were included in the study. Sun Tech Oscar 2’ 24 hourR ABPM system was used for the study of ambulatory BP of patients, at specified times. Results: Sixty-two normotensive T2DM patients, mean age of 46.67 years were analysed in the 24 months. A total of 62 patients, the non dipping pattern was seen in 47 (76%) of the 62 individuals evaluated for ABPM, while the dipping pattern was seen in 15 (24%) of the normotensive T2DM patients. A non dipping pattern was associated with a higher Body Mass Index (BMI) (p-value=0.03). A non dipping habit was also substantially associated with high PPBS values (p-value=0.02). Conclusion: Patients with a history of HTN and smoking had a higher chance of non dipping patterns, which may lead to endorgan damage and future cardiovascular events. ABPM can be used as a screening tool to predict cardiovascular events in T2DM.
