Published: April 2023

Objective: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) is an accepted treatment approach for locally advanced and some early- -stage breast cancers. The development in systemic NCT in last few years has progressively increased pathological complete response (pCR). As a result, breast surgeons sometimes perform surgery on breasts that contain no tumor cells. This study sought to evaluate the survival outcomes for patients with clinical complete response (cCR) to NCT who did not undergo surgery. Methods: This retrospective study has been carried out at the Oncology Clinic of Azerbaijan Medical University. The study identified 108 women with a diagnosis of invasive breast cancer cT1-4, N0-3, and M0 tumors who received NCT between 2013 and 2018 and who did not have surgery. Overall survival (OS) was compared between the cCR group and no-cCR group of patients after NCT. Results: In patients who did not undergo surgery, 44 (40.7%) had cCR, 51 (47.2%) had a partial response, and 13 (12.0%) had no response/progression. The median age was 45.6, median tumor size was 51.2 mm, and immunohistochemistry were as follows: luminal 53 (49.1%), HER2+ 31 (28.7%), and triple-negative 24 (22.2%), with a follow-up of 48–108 months. The 5-year OS was better in the cCR group than in the no-cCR group (90.9% vs 61.5%; p=0.011). Conclusion: To avoid surgery, it is critical to have the tools to accurately detect residual tumor disease and predict pCR after NCT. This study demonstrated that active surveillance or de-escalation therapy may be an option for patients who achieve cCR. Prospective studies are underway to determine whether a subgroup of patients may forgo surgery in the setting of cCR after NCT.

Objective: The aim of this study was to characterize chronic pain in women undergoing surgical treatment for breast cancer. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, retrospective, hospital-based study. All breast cancer patients undergoing clinical follow-up at a referral hospital in central Brazil were screened. Women with chronic pain after surgical treatment of breast cancer, defined by the presence of pain after 3 months of surgery, were included in the study. The questionnaires were applied by the responsible researcher in the form of an interview, which took place in a dedicated office. The McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) and the visual analog scale (VAS) were used. Results: In all, 99 patients were interviewed, of which 46 were included in the study. Most patients were between 50 and 59 years old (39.1%), were married (45.7%), were housewives (58.7%), and had completed high school (45.7%). Arterial hypertension was the most prevalent clinical comorbidity (41.3%), followed by diabetes mellitus (13.0%). A total of 45 (97.8%) patients underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy, but 22 (47.8%) required axillary lymphadenectomy for some oncological reason; 35 (76.0%) patients underwent chemotherapy (neoadjuvant or adjuvant), and 40 underwent radiotherapy (87.0%). According to the VAS, the mean pain intensity was 5.5 (±2.6). Most patients reported worsening pain with movement, with 26 (52.2%) “sometimes”, and another 14 (30.4%) “always”. In the MPQ, there was a predominance of the sensory domain among the characteristics of chronic pain. Relaxation techniques (52.2%), stretching (50.0%) and deep breathing (47.8%) were the most mentioned therapeutic measures. Drug treatment was reported by 21 (45.7%) women and acupuncture by only one. Conclusion: In the analyzed population, chronic pain was observed with moderate intensity and with a predominance of sensitive characteristics according to the MPQ. The development of strategies for prevention, early diagnosis, and multidisciplinary treatment can help reduce chronic pain in breast cancer survivors.

Published: April 2023

Objective: The immunohistochemical profile of breast cancer is based on the evaluation of estrogen and progesterone receptors, HER2 expression, and cell proliferation index. An investigation of the association of immunophenotyping with the classification of tumors and the description of their anatomical extent becomes important in view of the scarcity of research in mixed populations such as the Brazilian. Thus, this research performed the association of immunophenotyping — luminal A, luminal B HER2-negative, luminal B HER2-positive, HER2-positive, and triple-negative — with the classification of malignant tumors and histopathological characteristics in patients with breast cancer seen in a cancer center in southeastern Brazil. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with 583 female patients with invasive breast cancer in whom Pearson’s chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test was used for statistical analysis. Results: There was a higher frequency of women with the luminal B HER2-negative subtype (33.9%). Analysis of immunophenotyping with clinical characteristics found a higher frequency of clinical stage I in luminal A, 40% (p<0.001); pathological stage I in luminal A, 45% (p<0.001); invasive ductal carcinoma morphology in HER2-positive, 97.4% (p<0.001); histological grade G3 in triple- -negative, 66.3% (p<0.001); nuclear grade 3 in HER2-positive, 87.2% (p<0.001); and e-cadherin positive in HER2-positive luminal B, 81.8% (p <0.001). Conclusion: There was a significant rate of pathological primary tumor T0 in the triple-negative (21.7%), which highlighted the advance of therapy in this subtype hitherto known to be of worse prognosis. Contrary to expectations, the molecular subtype that showed the most metastasis was luminal B-positive (10.8%). We observed that in the population analyzed, immunophenotyping showed an association with clinical and histopathological characteristics. The more severe molecular subtypes presented a more advanced stage.

Published: April 2023

Objective: Nearly 1/5 of women with breast cancer (BC) treated by breast-conserving surgery (BCS) require reoperation due to positive margins on final pathology. In our hospital practice, intraoperative macroscopic pathological margin evaluation (IMPME) of all lumpectomy specimens is routine. The objectives of the study were to assess the accuracy of the IMPME in a large study population of BC patients treated by BCS. Methods: Patients treated by BCS from 2015 to 2017 for invasive BC were included in a retrospective analysis. The diagnostic accuracy of IMPME in predicting margin involvement was calculated by determining its sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), negative predictive value (NPV), and false-negative rate (FNR). Results: In all, 543 women with 562 BCS were analyzed. There were 30 (5.5%) patients with multiple BC tumors and 17 (3.1%) patients with bilateral BC. Among them, 460 (81.7%) were invasive ductal carcinomas and 79 (14%) invasive lobular carcinomas. According to intrinsic subtype classification, 504 (89.7%) were luminal tumors, 44 (7.8%) were triple-negative tumors, and 14 (2.7%) were HER2-enriched breast tumors. The mean pathological tumor size was 12.2 mm (range: 1.5–40 mm). With a cutoff value of ≤1 mm for positive margin status with IMPME, the Se, Sp, NPV, and FNR were 65.9% (29/44), 66% (342/518), 95.8% (342/357), and 4% (15/357), respectively. There were 34.2% (192/562) BCS with intraoperative re-excision after IMPME examination. The secondary re-excision rate for final positive margins after BCS was 6.6% (37/562). Conclusion: In this study population, IMPME is not sensitive and specific enough to discriminate between negative and positive margins during BCS. Nevertheless, its NPV seems sufficiently accurate to exclude the presence of residual breast tumor tissue on the surgical specimen of patients treated with BCS, which represents an effective technique for evaluating the intraoperative margin in BC patients.
Titanium Alloys Database for Medical Applications
Authors: Manojlović Vaso D , Marković Gordana
Published: April 2023

Titanium alloys are widely applied, particularly in biomedical engineering, due to their exceptional combination of mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. The low modulus of elasticity of these titanium alloys in comparison to other materials used in medical applications is a main characteristic. However, some of these alloys' components, such as aluminum and vanadium, can have adverse effects on the human body. Consequently, new titanium alloys with low modulus of elasticity and no toxic alloying elements are currently being developed. In this research, 238 titanium alloys were collected, almost entirely composed of biocompatible alloying elements. The primary motivation behind creating such a database is to establish a foundation for designing new alloys using machine learning methods. The database can assist researchers, engineers, and biomedical professionals in developing titanium alloys for various medical applications, thereby improving health outcomes and driving advancements in biomaterials and biomedical engineering.

Geometric Study of Two-Dimension Stellated Reentrant Auxetic Structures to Transformable Architecture
Authors: Elipe Mª Dolores Álvarez
Published: April 2023

Transformable architecture is totally linked to the study and knowledge of geometry. There are some materials in nature, whose geometric invariants establish equivalent structural behavior regarding the scalar transformations, developing different spatial typologies according to dimensional variation. Auxetic materials are characterized by their negative Poisson’s ratio. The can change their geometric configuration from a line to a surface, and from a surface to a volume or spatial framework. This paper is based on establishing and comparing those stellated reentrant auxetic geometries to be able to build new spaces defined by their capacity to architectural transformation, studying analytically geometric properties of stellated reentrant auxetic structures that, from the molecular to the macroscopic level, can be part of the architecture construction. In this investigation a comparative study by means of CAD of stellated reentrant auxetic patterns has been realized. A Computer Aided Design study of stellated reentrant auxetic structures will be realized to use them to architecture. The geometric behavior of the different stellated reentrant auxetic patterns is analyzed from the developed study to generate a systematic comparison, evaluating properties of these forms, such as their maximum achievable area reductions in relation with the total length of bars of the structure, in order to obtain a growth factor.

Filosofia del suono nell’Etude III per pianoforte di Toshio Hosokawa
Authors: Michielon Letizia
Published: April 2023

Etude III for piano by Hosokawa Toshio is an admirable summary of his poetics, which are closely related to the aesthetics of emptiness. In his works, acting as a link between Eastern and Western culture the composer studies the polarity between sound and silence, reinterpreting it in the light of calligraphic experience. Inspired by shodō, Hosokawa traces sound within the spatial-temporal dimension thanks to an interior openness that makes it possible to listen to one’s own voice. Energy (ki) is thus released, fuelling a network of relations that are suspended on the border of impermanence and placed in the background of a great void. Thanks to the respect for every being that contributes to universe life, Hosokawa’s can not only be interpreted as an artistic, civil and political lesson, but also as a sociological and ecological one.

The breeding of high-yielding sunflower varieties and hybrids requires the use of parent material with considerable genetic diversity. It can be identified using molecular genetic markers. The purpose of this study was the genotyping of sunflower lines bred by V. S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops (VNIIMK), developed in different ecological areas of cultivation, and to evaluate their genetic diversity using microsatellite loci. For the studies conducted in 2020-2022, there were used 23 lines from the Central experimental base (СEB), 17 lines from L.A. Zhdanov Don experimental station (DES), and 10 lines from the Armavir experimental station (AES). DNA was isolated from seedlings by the CTAB method. Samples were genotyped using 12 SSR markers. PCR products were separated in 8 % denaturing polyacrylamide gel or by capillary electrophoresis in a genetic analyzer. The main indicators of genetic diversity for all collections did not differ significantly from each other, and were moderate and increased in the collections of VNIIMK: AES – DES – CEB -the joint collection. In total there have been identified 37 alleles, an average 3.083 alleles per locus. The effective number of alleles ranged from 1.094 to 3.290 with an average value of 2.154. The values of the polymorphic information content (PIC) index ranged from 0.084 to 0.651, with an average of 0.434. The values of observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from zero to 0.071, 0.030, on average, and from 0.086 to 0.696, 0.500, on average, respectively. The number of shared alleles between different collections was 23. Molecular variation analysis revealed that most of the total variance (91 %) was due to differences between lines within each collection and 3 % to differences between collections. According to the results of the cluster analysis, the maternal lines from the collections of the CEB, DES, and AES of VNIIMK were mostly grouped into a cluster or subcluster separate from the paternal ones. The obtained results indicate a moderate genetic diversity of the studied sunflower lines of the breeding of VNIIMK and the existence of small differences between the collections.

Authors: Prakhova T. Ya.
Published: April 2023

Coriander is a common essential oil crop and a source of a number of valuable products. Coriander is grown mainly for oil seeds (fruits) and spicy greens (cilantro). The article presents a comparative assessment of the productivity and adaptability of 14 varieties of coriander in the conditions of the Penza region (forest-steppe of the Middle Volga region). Over the years of research (2020-2022), the duration of the growing season of coriander was, on average for varieties, 89-109 days. Early ripening was noted in varieties Karibe, Borodinsky and Silach (89-92 days). The yield of coriander seeds ranged from 1.41 to 1.83 t/ha, with the maximum values in the Nectar and Santo varieties (1.75 and 1.83 t/ha), 0.15-0.42 t/ha higher other varieties (LSD05 = 0.11). The highest content of fatty oil was noted in the varieties Commander (20.09 %), Venera (19.58 %) and Santo (19.04 %). All varieties had a fairly high adaptive potential: the coefficient of adaptability ranged from 0.85 to 1.19, with the highest values in varieties Nectar (1.19), Santo (1.13) and Karibe (1.12). These varieties had the highest breeding value (1.32-1.42). According to the values of the indicator of the level of stability of the variety (19.09) and the stability index (13.66), the variety Karibe was characterized by the highest stability of the trait "yield". The analysis of the crop structure showed that the varieties Nectar (4.89 g) and Santo (5.49 g) were selected according to the productivity of one plant. The largest fruits were formed in varieties Taiga (10.26 g), Santo (10.94 g) and Karibe (10.85 g). According to the number of fruits in one umbel, 7 varieties are of the greatest interest, in which this indicator reached more than 40 pieces. The maximum number of umbel 21.6 and 22.6 was formed by varieties Nectar and Santo. Evaluation of coriander varieties showed their high adaptive capabilities in contrasting weather conditions of the Penza region.

Published: April 2023

The article presents the results of experiments obtained in stationary experiments on the basis of grain-fallow and grain-grass crop rotations on meadow-chernozem soil in the Omsk region. The influence of spring wheat precursors (alfalfa of the 3rd year of life and fallow) on individual elements of soil fertility and crop yield has been established. It was revealed that when cultivating spring wheat by fallow in the grain-fallow crop rotation, the nitrogen balance (-28 kg/ha) is negative with an intensity of 66 %. When sowing wheat in grain-grass crop rotation on a layer of perennial grasses, the nitrogen balance is positive (+21.0 kg/ha) and the intensity is 119 %. The favorable effect of the legume component in the crop rotation on the nitrogen regime of the soil significantly increased the yield of spring wheat by 0.5 t/ha in comparison with wheat cultivated in the field crop rotation by bare fallow. Under similar conditions, studies were carried out on irrigated meadowchernozem soil in an eight-field stationary grain-grass crop rotation. The removal of nitrogen by the yield of various perennial grasses, as well as the responsiveness of alfalfa, bromus and sweet clover with productivity parameters to the level of nitrogenphosphorus nutrition, were studied. The current mobilization of nitrogen under these conditions under the vegetative brome without fertilizers was 76 kg/ha. When optimizing the phosphate regime of the soil, this indicator increased to 99 kg/ha.  The removal of nitrogen by alfalfa on similar agricultural backgrounds increases due to symbiotically fixed nitrogen, by 89 and 193 kg/ha, respectively, or 2.2 and 2.9 times. Alfalfa and sweet clover responded positively to the improvement of mineral fertilizing conditions (P60N60-160). In alfalfa of the 1-5 year of life the collection of green mass and fodder units increased to 40.56 and 7.00 t/ha, respectively, or by 86 and 54 % relative to the control without fertilizers, with 82.76 GJ of exchange energy per hectare. The productivity of sweet clover of the 2nd year of life increased up to 30.85 t/ha of green mass and 2.83 t/ha of fodder units or by 37 and 17 % relative to the control.

Published: April 2023

Studies on the formation of groundwater levels have been carried out on open and closed drainage systems in the natural and climatic conditions of the Novgorod region for more than 30 years at 2 pilot production sites. On the first site there are 4 structures of closed drainage: shallow with a depth of 70 cm; medium-deep drainage (drainage depth 110 cm) with various options for filling the drainage trench-wood chips and sand-gravel mixture; two-tier drainage (drainage depth 110 and 60 cm). On the second site there are four open drainage structures: channels; hollows – without hydro-reclamation structures; with drainage along the bottom-tubular and strip-free. The average long-term data on groundwater regimes on experimental structures were obtained and conclusions were drawn that the average seasonal groundwater level formed by closed drainage systems is 18 cm lower compared to open drainage systems; the most favorable groundwater regime is formed by drainage systems of two-tier drainage. The dependences of groundwater levels formed during the most intense periods of operation of drainage systems (May – 1st decade of June) on the amount of precipitation for previous periods are analyzed. It was revealed that the closeness of the relationship between groundwater levels and the amount of precipitation in the open drainage variants is less close (r2 = 0.01-0.30) compared with the closed drainage variants (r2 = 0.02-0.54). The closest relationship on closed drainage systems is observed between the groundwater level of the third decade of May and precipitation for May: during this period, with an increase in precipitation by 1 mm, groundwater rises by 0.3 cm – in the variant with chip filling and by 0.6 cm – in the variants of shallow and two-tier drainage.

Authors: Timoshkin O. A.
Published: April 2023

The development of technology elements for the cultivation of perennial alfalfa-brome mixtures contributes to the formation of highly productive agrocenoses and reduce the cost of fodder mass. In 2017-2022, in the conditions of the Penza region, there has been studied the effect of seeding rates of alfalfa variegated of Daria variety and awnless brome Udalets in pure and mixed sowings, the level of mineral nutrition and the time of harvesting green mass on the economic and energy efficiency of cultivation. Growing seasons of 2017-2021 were characterized by dry conditions (HTC = 0.4-0.8), of 2022 – by normal moisture (HTC = 1.0). The calculation of the cost of production showed the advantage of the seeding rate of alfalfa and brome 70+40 %, the introduction of N45P60K90 and harvesting in the early phase the cost of 1 ton of feed units amounted to 2.36 thousand rubles, in the variant without fertilizers at this seeding rate, the cost was 6.8 % higher – 2.52 thousand rubles. The level of profitability of alfalfa-brome mixtures when cultivated for green mass was at a high level and amounted to 161-238 % according to the variants. Higher rates were obtained in variants with a seeding rate of 70+40 %, the introduction of N45P60K90 during harvesting both in the budding phase and variable mowing – 235-238 %. Cost of 1 ton feed units at a seeding rate of 70+40 % was 1.51-1.96 GJ (depending on the mowing period), a decrease in the seeding rate of alfalfa to 40 % increased the cost of 1 ton of feed units up to 1.74-2.20 GJ. The use of mineral fertilizers increased the cost of 1 ton of feed units when applying P60K90 by 0.02-0.06 GJ, and when introducing N45P60K90 by 0.29-0.36 GJ. The early phase of harvesting was energetically favorable – the cost of 1 ton of feed units was lower than when harvesting in the flowering phase by 0.08-0.15 GJ. With a high seeding rate of alfalfa and a low seeding rate of brome (70+40 %), the maximum energy efficiency coefficient (EEC) was obtained – 5.2-7.1 (depending on the background of nutrition and the mowing period). With a decrease in the seeding rate of alfalfa from 70 to 40 %, a decrease in the EEC to 4.5-6.1 was noted. The application of mineral fertilizers significantly reduced the EEE indicators – from 5.8-7.1 to 5.5-6.7 with the application of P60K90 and to 4.3-5.3 with the application of N45P60K90. At an early harvesting time (budding phase), the EEC was slightly higher – 4.7-7.1, than at a late harvesting time (flowering phase) – 4.5-6.8.

There have been developed: a scheme of test stand with a 3-D camera of the optical module for taking 3-D images in the system of digital valuation of the udder of dairy cows; a mathematical model for determining the biometric parameters of the udder and teats, namely: length, diameter of the angles of inclination in two planes of the teats, distance between the teats, scattering from the optical module to the teats, 26 parameters in total. An algorithm for determining the biometric parameters of the udder has been developed. Experiments with the stand and processing of field data were carried out in the Animal Husbandry Department of the FSAC VIM in 2022. In addition, field data were collected on farms: IP KFH Sirota (Moscow region), FSUE Grigorievskoye (Yaroslavl region), Farm Ryabtsevo LLC (Kaluga region) – in total, natural material for 192 animals has been collected. The performance of the developed method was tested on an artificial udder. The mode of operation in determining the biometric parameters of the teats was carried out: the speed of obtaining threedimensional udder maps was 5 frames per 1 second. The angle of rotation of the camera relative to the teats in the 0ZX plane was 30º. According to the results of the experimental studies it has been established that the measured results for 24 out of 26 parameters have an error of less than 5%, the diagonal distance between the teats has an error of 6.0 %, the lateral left distance between the anterior and posterior row of teats has an error of 12.7 %. The measurement error of the distance to the tip of the teats is in the range from -0.004 m to -0.007 m on the Z axis.

Conclusions: the implementation of compliance control provides enterprises with indisputable advantages in the form of image improvement; simplification of algorithms for interaction with supervisory and regulatory bodies; increasing the level of corporate culture – continuous monitoring of risk situations and smooth introduction of compliance procedures into the company’s work contributes to the improvement of business processes and the formation of a dynamic environment for the creation of an innovative climate and the emergence of a "corporate spirit", which involves clear compliance with ethical standards in relation to counterparties; the possibility of establishing new partnerships; the possibility of presence on international markets – the implementation of compliance in transnational companies and companies that plan to enter the international level increases their trust on the part of foreign stakeholders.
CONDITIONALITY OF NOTION “COMPLEXITY” IN TERMINOLOGY OF CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURAL FORM-GENERATION
Authors: USPENSKYI М. , NESTERENKO V.
Published: April 2023

Problem statement. As a starting point, the article takes the need for constant revision of basic architectural categories and notions, caused by events associated with the emergence in the 1990s − digital non-linear architecture. As the culmination of the postmodern period, digital architecture continues to enrich its paradigm with a focus on complexity of architectural forms. However, based on the current complexity sciences achievements, digital architecture takes complexity with understanding not encountered previously in architectural design theory. The equivocality of notion definition of «complexity» is accepted as a research problem. The purpose of the article. The purpose of the research is to define notion of «complexity» in the context of contemporary architectural form-generation. Methods. The method of semantic analysis was chosen as the main one. Conclusion. The relationship between the notions of form and complexity is revealed, based on a historical analysis of the notion definitions of «form». The term definition of «architectural form» is given through the connection of form and content, that reviles the key aspects of contemporary architectural form content. Changes in the content of notion definitions of «complexity» are analyzed from the design methodology standpoint and general scientific methods. The meaning of complexity is revealed at three levels of form perception: morphological, symbolic and phenomenological levels. The conditionality of necessity and emergence causes of complexity in contemporary architectural forms as a result of changes in the society value orientations is considered. Examples of the gradual implementation of principles and the influence of complexity science upon the architecture theory are given. Taking into account the considered features of complexity understanding and ideas about complex objects taken from complexity theories, a notion definition that does not cause difficulties in application of «complexity» is formulated. Conclusions with nuances of application and characteristics of the obtained definition are given. The possibilities for the further implementation of relevant systemic ideas about city and urban environment that capable to introduce architecture to a new scientific world picture are determined.

Objetivo:avaliar o conhecimento, a atitude e a prática (CAP) de gestantes sobre incontinência urinária (IU), identificar a prevalência de IU durante a gestação, avaliar seu impacto na qualidade de vida (QV) e identificar os fatores associados ao CAP inadequados em relação à IU. Metodologia: Estudo observacional realizado de maio a novembro de 2019 na cidade de Fortaleza, Ceará. Utilizaram-se dois instrumentos para coleta de dados: um para avaliação sociodemográfica, obstétrica e de perdas urinárias e outro para avaliação do CAP sobre IU. Resultados: Participaram 237 gestantes. A prevalência de IU foi de 49,3% e observou-se baixo impacto na QV. A maioria apresentou conhecimento (89,6%) e prática inadequados tanto para prevenir (89,2%) quanto para tratar (78,8%) a IU. Identificaram-se baixos percentuais de acerto relacionados ao conhecimento sobre fatores de risco (46,8%), prevenção (43,8%) e tratamento da IU (42,8%). Apesar disso, a atitude foi considerada adequada para a maioria das mulheres (98,5%). Ausência de orientação sobre o preparo do períneo para o parto durante o pré-natal (p = 0,019), baixa escolaridade (p < 0,001), casos mais leves de IU (p = 0,027) e gestação de alto risco (p = 0,004) associaram-se a prática inadequada. Conclusão: o conhecimento sobre causas, prevenção e tratamento da IU é insuficiente e interfere no manejo dessa condição.perineum for childbirth during prenatal care (p = 0.019), low education (p < 0.001), milder cases of UI (p = 0.027) and high-risk pregnancy (p = 0.004) were associated with inappropriate practice.

Expanding ‘criticality’ in the context of critical ontology and bricolage
Authors:   Korean Association for Qualitative Inquiry, Shin Dongil
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this study is to offer investigate conceptual foundations for critical research, so called, ‘critical ontology’ and ‘bricolage’ research activities, in the perspectives of a critical applied linguist. The critique, as reinterpreted as the arts of existence or critical ontology of ourselves, is placed in the on-going inquiry for the critical and qualitative researchers in this study. Critical understanding of ourselves is also suited with bricolage research. The concept of bricolage can be illustrated in a praxis of interpretation and understanding with getting together of rigorousness, complexity, and criticality. In this study, the combined characteristics of critical ontology and bricolage were to be discussed in the construction of a critical reseacher’ biographical growth. In the preliminary stage for the autobiographical research to find out the combined meaningfulness of the critical ontology and bricolage, I mapped out the prominent and turning knowledges which made myself identified as ‘critical researcher’ in my research career. My research trajectory, based on the published research papers and books of mine, were reflected and divided into the four (narrative, critical, discursive, cultural) major turns. It turned out that I have developed my identity of ‘a critical researcher’ through the perspectives of critical ontology and bricolage. It is hoped that the further writing of autobiographies plays as a autonomous channel for developing the sense of being a critical researcher. Possible areas of research are discussed. This article concluded with some suggestions for future directions of methodological development.
Propaganda in the Linguistic Landscape A Multimodal Analysis of the “Yinghe” Public Health Communication in China
Authors: Sheng Rong , Buchanan John
Published: April 2023

In response to the resurgence of the Omicron variant cluster in many parts of China, national health communicators have had to provide effective public health communication for Chinese individuals and communities to follow the “dynamic zero COVID” policy. This paper investigates the role of propaganda in the linguistic landscape during the critical stage of “dynamic zero COVID” in Shanghai. In particular, this article examines the “Yinghe” (hardcore) public health communication by demonstrating a wide array of propaganda including red banners, catchy slogans, online posts which were collected from both physical and digital space between March and June 2022. Data sources included written text, images, audio, videos and other semiotic artifacts from multiple sources. Analysis drew on a multimodal analytical lens and multimodal analysis platform. Findings reveal that the contextual meaning of exclusion is manifested by examining the strident language of blunt slogans of anti-epidemic grassroots banners. More importantly, the interrelationship between linguistic and semiotic assemblages contributes to establishing the multimodal and multilingual propaganda to guide people to follow this policy.  This study offers a unique insight into health communication by connecting ties between propaganda, policy and public health.

Let's look at sectors like Healthcare, Tech, Education, E-commerce Transport, Food, beverages, etc. They depend on software developed for them because software is the main part that has grown these industries and businesses, whether in the form of websites, AI-based machines, robots, or apps. The computer software saves time regarding bits, helps solve complex problems, and prolonged and repeated processes fast and accurately without any error. To handle these problems and features, industries need software programs to facilitate the employees' administration work, offices, banks, departments, etc. Developing suitable high-quality software according to the requirements given by the client is the primary goal of software engineering. The software requires a plan with the whole team, and team members cover different parts of the software. The software project manager and his team follow a specific SDLC (Software development Life Cycle) model throughout the project to achieve their goals and complete the project in time according to the given requirements. These SDLC models will be covered in depth in this paper.
