Comparative Analysis of City Image Promotional Videos of Two Places from the Perspective of Visual Narrative Theory
Authors: Song Ying
Published: February 2024

Based on the visual narrative theory of Painter, this study focuses on Anhui global promotional video "Splendid Anhui welcoming the World" and Chengdu FISU Games promotional video " The Countdown to Chengdu 3000 Years". A multimodal comparative analysis is conducted on the two promotional videos from the perspectives of interpersonal meaning, conceptual meaning, and discourse meaning, in order to explore the images presented by promotional videos of different cities. It is recommended to increase emotional involvement in Anhui promotional videos, try to incorporate character stories, and use more intermediary perspectives to experience and feel the charm of the region from a micro perspective, because this visual narrative method is more likely to generate emotional collisions and sparks with the audience. Promotional videos should not only promote the hardware of a city or region, but most importantly, convey the cultural connotations, spiritual style, and life experience.

Analysis on Pragmatic Failures in Cross-Cultural Business Negotiation Interpretation
Authors: Liu Li
Published: February 2024

As economic and social development deepens, cross-cultural communication is also gaining more and more attention. English interpreting is an integral part of international business negotiations. Pragmatic failures in business negotiation interpreting can directly affect the quality of negotiation communication, and sometimes even lead to misunderstandings and the breakdown of negotiations. Reducing the pragmatic failures in interpreting in negotiations and improving interpreting skills can play a positive role in facilitating international trade negotiations. Based on Leech's and other scholars' research on pragmatic failures, this paper discusses the manifestations of cross-cultural pragmatic failures in business negotiation interpreting from the perspectives of pragmalinguistic and sociopragmatic failures, and analyzes the causes of the resulting pragmatic failures in detail. Interpreters should not only focus on language ability and interpreting skills, but also on the cultivation of intercultural awareness and pragmatic competence and thus promote international business negotiations.

Authors: Sun Naixue , Wang Ke
Published: February 2024

This research focuses on the ideological and political education in Chinese private universities, exploring the application and effectiveness of the blended learning model in the context of the "Internet+" era. The rapid development of the "Internet+" has posed new challenges and opportunities for ideological and political education in higher education institutions. In order to better adapt to the learning needs of modern students and enhance the quality of ideological and political courses, the blended learning model has emerged as a viable solution. In this paper, we first review the impact of the "Internet+" on ideological and political education in higher education and the practical issues faced by private universities in this field. Then, we introduce the theoretical foundation of the blended learning model, emphasizing its potential and applicability in higher education. Next, we propose a blended learning design scheme for ideological and political courses in private universities, including the selection of course content and the organization of online and offline teaching activities. Through empirical research, we analyze the practical application effects of the blended learning model in ideological and political courses. Feedback from students and teachers indicates that the blended learning model can enhance student engagement and learning interest, facilitating effective ideological and political education. However, we also identify some potential challenges and issues, such as the requirements for technical equipment and the need for teacher training. Based on the comprehensive research results, we conclude that the blended learning model has brought about positive changes in ideological and political education in private universities within the "Internet+" context but still requires further refinement and development. Finally, this study provides recommendations for future development to promote the sustainable growth of the blended learning model in ideological and political courses at private universities, offering students a richer and more valuable ideological and political education.

Authors: Zhao Hongyue
Published: February 2024

In recent years, China's higher vocational education has made remarkable progress, but faces some challenges in the process of development. This study aims to explore the effective development of higher vocational education, especially in terms of teachers' professional development and educational innovation. Through online semi-structured interviews with four teachers in higher vocational schools, their perceptions of higher vocational education and their specific implementation (implementation methods, implementation content, benefits experienced and difficulties faced in implementing higher vocational education) were examined. The study found that teachers encouraged students to analyses problems from multiple perspectives and develop integrative and critical thinking skills. By providing internships in relevant industries, teachers helped students gain practical experience and skill development, and helped them clarify their career goals and directions. However, the study also revealed the difficulties encountered by teachers in implementing higher vocational education, such as China's exam-based education system and some parents' and the public's inherent perceptions of higher vocational teachers, schools and education, as well as students' sense of responsibility. The study also mentioned teachers' lack of insight and inadequate teaching methods and skills in implementing higher vocational education.

Authors: Bedolla-Barajas Martín , Domínguez-Morales Javier , Loya-Barriga Ilse Mariana , Bedolla-Pulido Angie , Jiménez-Huerta Luis Alfredo , Morales-Romero Jaime
Published: February 2024

Background:

In the Americas there are few studies that have evaluated the frequency of allergic sensitization to Platanus occidentalis or sycamore pollen in adult patients with allergic rhinitis (AR).

Objective:

To determine the prevalence of allergic sensitization to P. occidentalis and to identify factors associated with its presentation.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study was carried out in 3 centers distributed in the northwest, west, and southeast of Mexico. Allergic sensitization to P. occidentalis was determined with a skin prick test. Prevalence and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated.

Results:

A total of 404 patients were included, women were 233 (57.7%); the age mean was 33.8 ± 12.9 years. The overall prevalence of sensitization to P. occidentalis was 20.8% (95% CI, 17.1%–25.0%); in the northwestern: 15.9% (95% CI, 9.6%–25.1%); in the western: 21.8% (95% CI, 15.4%–29.9%); and in the southeastern: 22.4% (95% CI, 17.1%–38.8%). Multivariate analysis showed to the following allergens as factors associated with sycamore allergic sensitization: tree pollens (OR, 3.19; P = 0.001), weeds (OR, 2.49; P = 0.004), fungi (OR, 1.96; P = 0.014), and dog or cat epitheliums (OR, 1.88; P = 0.018).

Conclusion:

Allergic sensitization to P. occidentalis pollen in AR patients is not an infrequent event; consequently, we recommend doing the challenge test in all patients with this allergen, especially in those regions where the tree is present.

Published: February 2024

Background:

House dust mites are the major source of indoor allergens in the tropical and subtropical regions with Blomia tropicalis (Bt) allergens as one of the leading causative agents of sensitization among patients from the tropics. Despite the clinical importance of Bt in various populations, its allergenicity remains unclear among Filipino allergic patients.

Objective:

This study determined the sensitization profiles of allergic Filipinos against Bt allergens and its correlation with atopy.

Methods:

Total immunoglobulin epsilon (IgE) (n = 960), Bt-specific IgE (n = 247), and Blomia tropicalis 5 (Blo t 5)-specific IgE (n = 87) profiles of allergic and nonallergic subjects were measured through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Point-biserial correlation coefficient was used to determine the association between Bt-specific IgE levels and selected demographics. Inhibition ELISA was performed to measure the inhibition capacity of recombinant Blo t 5 (rBlo t 5) against Bt allergen extracts.

Results:

Mean total IgE levels of allergic cases (n = 171) were significantly higher (P < 0.001) compared to the mean IgE levels of nonallergic controls (n = 76). Among allergic subjects, 58% were sensitized to Blo t extract and 80% of which were sensitized to rBlo t 5 allergen. A positive correlation was observed between Bt-specific IgE and family history of atopic disease (P = 0.031). Inhibition assay revealed that 54% mean reactivity of 7 plasma samples was caused by rBlo t 5, validating that rBlo t 5 is a major allergen in Bt.

Conclusions:

This study has shown the importance of Bt as an allergen source that sensitizes atopic Filipino subjects. Hence, inclusion of Bt allergen extract and rBlo t 5 in the panel for allergy diagnosis and immunotherapy in Filipino populations is strongly recommended.

A BRIEF OUTLOOK: SAADAT HASAN MANTO AS A PROGRESSIVE WRITER
Authors: Bhanu Sk Shakila
Published: February 2024

In the nineteenth century, Indian novels were more directed towards the social interest with political consciousness as the younger generation was more aware of social and political happenings. Indian novels in English originated from different regions of the country by different vernacular writers. Despite geographical, cultural and social differences, themes depicted in the novels shared a common thread of nationalism, colonial rule and post-colonialism. The Progressive Writers’ Movement was majorly instrumented by authors like Mulkraj Anand, Syed Sajjad Zahir, Ahmed Ali, Rashid Jehan, Attia Hosain and Mahmuduz Zafar etc. They were the trendsetters for modern writers in Indian writing in English. This current paper discusses briefly the literary contribution of Saadat Hasan Manto, a noteworthy Progressive writer.
MYTHOLOGICAL MUSINGS IN YOGI VEMANA'S VERSES: ETHICAL INSIGHTS FROM INDIAN SCRIPTURES
Authors: A.Meenakshi
Published: February 2024

Yogi Vemana, a distinguished poet-philosopher in Telugu literature from the Middle Ages, skillfully weaves the rich tapestry of characters from epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata to convey timeless societal, moral, and spiritual messages. His verses reflect the dichotomy between virtue and vice, using examples from legendary personalities like Rama and Duryodhana, highlighting the consequences of one's actions. Through his contemplations, Vemana questions, analyzes, and philosophizes on the complexities of fate, individual choices, and the influence of destiny, as depicted in the lives of characters such as Rama, Dasaratha, Ravana, and various figures from the Mahabharata. Vemana explores a diverse array of characters, such as Parasurama, Karna, Draupadi, and King Nala, revealing the repercussions of their deeds. He lauds acts of charity, sacrifices for others, and truthfulness while condemning vices like greed, lust, and lies, portrayed through characters like Karna, Sibi, Harishchandra, Duryodhana, and Keechaka. He challenges societal norms and prejudices, questioning caste discrimination by exalting individuals not based on their caste but on their virtues. While rooted in mythological narratives, the poet's verses serve as a moral compass, guiding readers toward introspection, moral rectitude, and spiritual growth.

Authors: M Kiran , H Nagabushan , C Rekha
Published: February 2024

Background: Antitubercular drugs are commonly associated with drug-induced liver injury (DILI), which can present as asymptomatic alterations in liver function test (LFT) to symptomatic hepatic injury and failure. Regular and frequent monitoring of LFT during intensive phase of therapy helps to identify early DILI and its complication.

Aims and Objectives: The main objective was to evaluate the effects of antitubercular drugs on liver functions by early monitoring.

Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted for 1 year among 97 newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients in tertiary care hospital. LFT was performed during baseline, at the end of 2nd week, and at end of intensive phase of treatment. Diagnosis of liver injury was based on DILI criteria and assessment of the clinical pattern of liver damage was done using “R value”.

Results: Among 97 patients, 16 had experienced DILI and incidence was higher during the first visit. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase were significantly altered during the first visit while AST and total bilirubin during the second visit. The number of parameters deranged was higher at the end of intensive phase than during the end of 2nd week. Cholestatic pattern (81.25 %) of liver injury was the most common type as per “R value”. According to DILI network severity index, the majority were categorized as “moderately-severe” and “moderate” during the first and second follow-up, respectively.

Conclusion: The incidence of antitubercular drugs-induced liver injury was higher during the initial 2 weeks of treatment, but the derangement was more evident at the end of the intensive phase. Frequent and regular monitoring during the initial phase of treatment helps to detect early DILI which prevents the impending liver failure.

Resultados: Os acidentes de transporte terrestre representam 50,2% das vítimas de causas externas, cuja maioria era do sexo masculino (73,7%), adultas (81,9%), não apresentavam hálito etílico (88,8%) e vítimas de trauma menor (95,3%). A motocicleta foi o veículo envolvido com mais frequência (56,1%). Verificou-se como fatores associados (p<0,05) ao tipo de acidente: ciclo de vida (adulto e colisão; idoso e atropelamento), veículo (automóvel - atropelamento e colisão; motocicleta e bicicleta - queda), gravidade do trauma (maior e atropelamento; menor e queda). Conclusão: Os dados revelam os principais fatores associados aos acidentes de trânsito orientando a assistência pré-hospitalar a essas ocorrências. É  necessário intensificar as medidas educativas específicas para cada grupo de risco.

Published: February 2024

This work analyzes the Code of Ethics and Discipline of the Brazilian Bar Association aiming to demonstrate that advertising can be a parallel to the legal environment. Within the problem that is: Does digital legal marketing arranged in light of the OAB Code of Ethics and Discipline make it difficult to prospect for clients in the legal market? The objective of the work is, through a dialectical methodological line, comparing different eras and the evolution of the market based on historical events and demonstrating the importance of legal deontology and the differentiation between advertising and advertising in the new interpretation of legal marketing, highlighting the differences between marketing, publicity,  advertising and the study of the precariousness of work influencing relationships, including communication in the legal market.
ESSAY ON LAW AND POLITICS, IN SURVEILLANCE APITALISM
Authors: Leite Humberto Barbosa da Silva
Published: February 2024

In “surveillance capitalism”, – politics and culture are being shaped by some big tech, but most people don’t realize it. Society has moved from the information age to the misinformation. The tools created began to unbalance Democracy and the relationships and functioning of society. These big techs only care about how to capture users' attention on their platforms, without thinking about the impacts. In this scenario that the State produces the laws that materialize the law. It is in this chaos that the application of the theory of dialogue and legislative rationality is suggested as a means of improving the design of the formation of law in the State, reducing the current crisis, crediting politics, maintaining peace and the current system in force.

Democracia para la dignidad. Movimientos políticos sociales y ciudadanía como aportes a las reflexiones sobre la democracia en América Latina. El caso del Movimiento Zapatista
Authors: Martínez Espinoza Manuel Ignacio
Published: February 2024

El artículo examina a la democracia que se genera en las Juntas de Buen Gobierno (JBG) del Movimiento Zapatista. Se analiza a las JBG como un caso de estudio para sustentar una propuesta de investigación a la democracia en América Latina: la de que los movimientos político-sociales en la región, contrariamente a lo que comúnmente se piensa, son útiles para el análisis y el perfeccionamiento de la democracia. El punto de partida es que, tal y como lo advirtió el Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo en su informe de 2004, en América Latina cohabitan procesos electorales efectivos con altos niveles de pobreza y desigualdad; situación que supone riesgos para la continuidad de la democracia en la región. El texto se inserta en la tarea de investigar y debatir sobre la democracia para coadyuvar en su arraigo en América Latina; para ello: 1) propone un concepto de democracia que tiene como eje principal a la dignidad, y 2) plantea la utilidad de los movimientos político-sociales para el análisis a la democracia. A partir de ese enfoque, el texto indaga en las instituciones y procesos políticos de las JBG. Las JBG son la institucionalización de procesos de gestión política en un nivel regional dentro de los territorios zapatistas; por ello, la discusión sobre la democracia en América Latina se enriquece al tomarlas en cuenta.
Transición a la vida adulta en España: una comparación en el tiempo y en el territorio utilizando el análisis de entropía
Authors: Melo Vieira Joice , Miret-Gamundi Pau
Published: February 2024

El objetivo de esta investigación es evaluar las transformacionesen las pautas de emancipación en Españaen las últimas décadas del siglo XX. Para ello,la transición de la juventud al mundo adulto se descomponeen sus tres dimensiones fundamentales: elpaso de estudiante al mundo laboral (inserción laboral),de miembro dependiente del hogar a personade referencia del mismo (emancipación residencial)y de la posición exclusiva de hijo/a a la de padre omadre (formación familiar). Utilizamos los datos delos censos españoles de 1981 y 2001 provenientesdel IPUMS (Integrated Public Use Microdata Series),facilitados por el Minnesota Population Center de laUniversidad de Minnesota. La metodología adoptadaes el análisis de entropía de combinación de estatus,que ofrece un indicador sintético de la emancipaciónjuvenil, a la que se añaden dos indicadores: duracióny congruencia etárea de las transiciones. Los resultadosmuestran que el abandono de estatus típicosde la juventud y la asunción a estados típicos de lavida adulta están concentrados en unas edades determinadas.La edad en que los cambios de estatusson más intensos, que aquí llamamos edad ápice delos cambios, se ha desplazado de manera importanteentre los dos momentos analizados, con un retrasode seis años en la edad ápice de estos cambiosde estatus entre 1981 y 2001. El curso de vida se havuelto entre estos dos puntos temporales muchomás complejo, siendo su heterogeneidad mayor entrelas mujeres que entre los hombres. Finalmente,cabe destacar una convergencia territorial, como demostramoscon los casos particulares de Cataluña yGalicia. El carácter sintético de esta metodologíaayuda a resolver la parcialidad en el análisis sobre latransición de la juventud al mundo adulto de otrosmétodos, y sirve al propósito de construir una visióngeneral e integral del proceso de transición a la vidaadulta, aunque se disponga de datos limitados.
¿Votando a partidos o a candidatos? El trade-off entre representación de partido y personal en las elecciones autonómicas y locales en España
Authors: Barberá Aresté Pablo
Published: February 2024

Cuando los electores emiten su voto, ¿están eligiendoun candidato o un partido? Los sistemas electoralesejercen un impacto significativo en cómo estacuestión es resuelta en cada país. Tal y como estudiosanteriores han demostrado, algunos de ellos fomentanuna representación más personal, mientrasque otros contribuyen a reforzar el papel intermediadorde los partidos. En este artículo defiendo queexiste un trade-off entre estos dos tipos de representación.Para contrastar empíricamente su existenciay funcionamiento, selecciono como caso de estudiolas elecciones autonómicas y locales en España.Dado que tienen lugar de manera simultánea y bajosistemas electorales similares, pueden ser consideradasun experimento natural para el estudio de estetrade-off, lo cual hace posible superar los problemas

de endogeneidad presentes en estudios anteriores.Mediante una estimación de la significación de laproximidad ideológica y las evaluaciones de los candidatosen las decisiones de voto a cada nivel, sedemuestra que la importancia de la representaciónpersonal se incrementa en las elecciones locales, aexpensas de un uso menos frecuente de la proximidadideológica como atajo informativo, confirmándoseasí la existencia del trade-off.
