Authors: Hidayatullah Thoriq , Gemilang Adria Vitalya , Hikmah Isti’anatul
Published: January 2024

This research examines King Arthur: Legend of The Sword. These researchers use Grice’s theory and focus on implicature, such as conventional and non-conventional implicature. This research tried to answer the types of implicature and the function of implicature on Arthur. The research design was qualitative and descriptive to analyze the data. The source of data was script and supported by several instruments. The results of the research were twenty-one data showing conventional and non-conventional implicature. Non-conventional implicature is more pronounced because Arthur often says something different from the truth. Non-conventional implicature usually violates four maxims. It is also supported that Arthur’s speeches violate four maxims. The functions of implicature were representative, directive, and expressive. The most frequent function is the representative function. It happened because it reflects on committing Arthur as the speaker to something being the case, to the truth of the expressed proposition.

A Study on Envy and Jealousy Revealed in Tang Dynasty's Poetry
Authors:   The Society For Chinese Humanities In Korea, f f
Published: January 2024

This paper examines jealousy and envy reflected in Tang Dynasty's poetry. There were countless works in Tang poetry describe the situation that their authors' talents could not be recognized or they were relegated due to slander. Unlike them, some people succeed in their official careers without any difficulties due to relationships or mere luck. This difference in experience easily aroused envy and jealousy of unrecognized poets. However, if they directly expressed this kind of emotion without concealment, it would have easily made their readers regard those works superficial and vulgar. Therefore, it was necessary to express it through certain rhetorics. This article focuses on the analysis of the Tang poems which employ these rhetorics and contain the word “羨, (xian, envy)”. It aims to explore the relationship between the poets' envy, jealousy and the main ideas of their poems, the poets' tactful way of revealing envy and jealousy, and the poets' methods to overcome the negative emotions brought by envy and jealousy. In addition to using literary analysis, this paper also uses the psychological knowledge about envy and jealousy to study the poems containing these emotions for more objective and scientific research.
A Comparative analysis of the Evidentiality Markers ‘-dae’ and ‘jùshuō’ in Korean and Chinese
Authors:   The Society For Chinese Humanities In Korea, f f
Published: January 2024

The evidentiality category is one of the hot topics discussed in Korean and Chinese academic circles in recent years. This paper focuses on the typical reported markers ‘-dae’ and ‘jùshuō’ in Korean and Chinese, and makes a comparative analysis of the personal effects, position transformation and interaction in the communicative process, as well as the pragmatic effectiveness of these two expressions. The preliminary conclusions are as follows: Firstly, from the perspective of personal effect, both the Korean and Chinese evidential markers ‘-dae’ and ‘jùshuō’ allow co-occurrence with the third person expression, and on the contrary, exclude co-occurrence with the first and second person expression. However, the strictness of co-occurrence with the second person is different, and Chinese ‘jùshuō’ has relatively loose restrictions on the second person expression. Secondly, from the perspective of position transformation and interaction, both play the role of revealing the source of information and ‘packaging’ the information. However, there are some differences in the position interaction between the two in specific contexts. Korean ‘-dae’ is solidized into a final ending with questioning attribute and strong interactive communication attribute, while Chinese ‘jùshuō’ emphasizes the transmission of information without necessarily requiring the listener's response. Its communicative attribute is weaker than ‘-dae’. Thirdly, from the perspective of pragmatic efficacy, both of them can play a role in cohesion coherence, position evaluation, responsibility exemption, etc. Korean ‘-dae’ focuses on the pragmatic function of ending and wrapping sentences, but tends to be negative position evaluation, and is weaker in responsibility exemption than Chinese ‘jùshuō’, which focuses on introducing new information and connecting old and new information. Its position evaluation is more neutral, and the characteristics of liability exemption are more prominent.

Worldwide, Avibacterium paragallinarum is the etiological agent of infectious rhinitis in poultry. Most vaccines are based on international reference strains without taking into account the current epizootic situation of hemophilosis in the respective territories. Using a mixture of inactivated Av. paragallinarum antigens (SS 6/20, A; SS 7/20, B; SS 8/20, C) of three serotypes (1:1:1) and (sample No 1 – AG + «aluminum hydroxide»; No 2 – AG + «aluminum hydroxide + saponin»; No 3 – AG + «Montanide ISA 70») obtained experimental samples of the domestic inactivated vaccine against chicken rhinitis. The antigenic and immunogenic activity of the inactivated trivalent vaccine on chickens was established. A commercial vaccine registered on the territory of Ukraine was used as a comparison. Vaccination of birds was carried out twice in a dose of 0.5 cm3 with an interval of 21 days, subcutaneously, in the area of the middle third of the neck. The investigated experimental samples No 2 and No 3 are not inferior to the commercial vaccine in terms of antigenic activity; antibody levels range from 1:64 to 1:512. The immunogenic activity of these samples is 80–100% compared to the commercial vaccine (poultry group 4), the immunogenic activity of which is at the same level. Replication of the causative agent of |Haemophilus infection in chickens from the paternal material of chickens vaccinated with a commercial vaccine (group 4) and experimental vaccines №2 (group 2, adjuvant – «aluminum hydroxide + saponin») and №3 (group 3, adjuvant – «Montanid ISA 70») and infected with control strains of the pathogen was not noted

ВЗАИМОДЕЙСТВИЕ КУЛЬТУРЫ И ЯЗЫКА В ГУМАНИТАРНЫХ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЯХ
Authors: MASLOVA Valentina , USMANOV Farhad
Published: January 2024

В статье проанализированы разные трактования феномена культуры в современных гуманитарных исследованиях, ее функции и роль, которую она играет в социальной жизни языковой личности. При анализе данного вопроса были изучены и обобщены взгляды многих ученых. По признанию многих ученых, язык и культура имеют свою семиосферу, в языке это в основном лексические и фразеологические единицы, в культуре — такие устойчивые единицы, как символы, стереотипы, традиции, ритуалы, религиозные обряды. Также язык и культура являются взаимно изоморфными системами — они имеют много схожих черт. В то же время необходимо соблюдать осторожность при изучении взаимоотношений языка и культуры, потому что, во-первых, это разные семиотические системы; во-вторых, в языке как явлении ценится ориентация на массового адресата, а в культуре — элитарность; в-третьих, в отличие от языка, культура не может сама проявить себя; в-четвертых, культурные нормы не в такой степени облигаторны, как языковые. В статье также раскрыты принципы анализа феномена культуры. Основное внимание уделяется ценностям, которые чрезвычайно важны в культуре. Объясняется их возникновение и формы проявления

Authors: Nadhvisal Maddireddy , Balasaheb Patil Nivedita
Published: January 2024

Addison's disease although rare, it is a well-recognized endocrine disorder characterized by adrenal insufciency. It
typically presents with a specic set of signs and symptoms, including weakness, weight loss, hyperpigmentation, and
electrolyte imbalances. However, it can occasionally manifest atypically, making its diagnosis challenging. Here, we report an unprecedented
case of Addison's disease in a 16-year-old male with cerebral palsy, mental retardation, and a history of seizure disorder. His presentation included
generalized weakness, vomiting, hyponatremia, and hypotension, which initially posed a diagnostic conundrum. The detailed evaluation revealed
primary adrenal insufciency and appropriate treatment with hydrocortisone and udrocortisone resulted in a signicant improvement in his
clinical condition. This unusual presentation underscores the importance of considering Addison's disease even in patients with complex medical
histories and unusual clinical pictures, as timely diagnosis and intervention can be life-saving. This case report emphasizes the need for healthcare
providers to remain vigilant for rare and atypical presentations of well-known conditions like Addison's disease.

ROUTES AND ROOTS: REDEFINING NATIVE CULTURAL PARADIGMS
Authors: Devi S. Sumithra
Published: January 2024

Immigrant writers inhabit dual spaces with conicting loyalties exhibiting their angst to strike reconciliation between
their routes and roots. These writers, along with giving voice to the vagaries of ethnic existence, also present in their
canvas, gendered experiences, thereby showing how the images of women in South Asian novels have changed in the last three or four decades.
The ction created by these writers presents a sublime treatment of the diasporic experiences focusing in depth on the reality of gendered
experiences of women in diaspora. Arranged Marriage (1995), by the Indian-American writer Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, is a collection of short
stories about the abuse and the courage of immigrant women who are mostly liberated by cultural changes and who are struggling to carve out an
identity of their own. The book also raises issues such as racism, gender, abortion and divorce. This paper analyses the stories “Affair” and
“Doors” in Arranged Marriage and attempts to depict how, against the backdrop of culture clash, the stories deal with the universal lessons in love,
marriage and sex and the insecurities within relationships. While remaining to a certain extent reverent to their ethnic heritage, the younger
immigrant characters in the stories overcome the imbroglio by reconciling to their “routes” thereby reinterpreting their native cultural paradigm.
They do not regard the host culture a corrupting inuence.
AGE ESTIMATION OF A 55-YEAR-OLD MALE BY MDCT (MULTIDETECTOR COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY)
Authors: Kumar Rastogi Ashok , Kumar Subhas
Published: January 2024

Background: Deciding on an individual's biological and structural maturity is crucial, and bone age plays a signicant
role in this evaluation. It is necessary for various clinical practices, including paediatrics, endocrinology, and radiology in
forensic medicine. Age is the duration a person has lived after birth, decided by physical and cognitive development, legal rights, and
responsibilities. Deciding a subject's maturity is crucial in guring out criminal and civil proceedings, especially when minors are involved as
either perpetrators or victims. Age estimation is helpful to solve purposes, including identication, legal proceedings, and sports. CT scan is
nowadays readily available at most hospitals. It is a non-invasive procedure, and it can be used for life as well as in a dead person for age
estimation. In old age, the skull, suture sternum, and pubis symphysis are the hallmarks of age estimation. In live patients, we can evaluate these
bones physically. In such cases, radiology is the modality of choice, and a CT scan is the preferable choice. Age estimation in live Conclusion:
cases is often necessary for job applications, identication, sports, and retirement planning. Multidetector CT is the preferred method for this
process due to its efciency and widespread availability in most hospitals and districts. Unlike X-ray examinations, CT scans offer a more
comprehensive view of skull sutures, sternum joints, and pubis symphysial surfaces, which are crucial for correct age estimation in older
individuals.

Authors: Chaudhary Gunjan , Gadre Sandhya
Published: January 2024

Ectopic pregnancy[EP] represents 2% of pregnancies. It is a signicant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality
especially in rst trimester. History of a previous ectopic increases the risk of recurrent ectopic pregnancy. The rate of
recurrent ectopic is 15% after one ectopic and rises two-fold(30%) after two ectopics. Ectopic pregnancy occurring in tubal stump after
salpingectomy is extremely rare, and accounts for approximately 0.4- 1.16 % of all ectopic pregnancies and less than 20 such cases have been
reported in the literature. Interstitial pregnancy is another rare form of ectopic pregnancy, located in the proximal part of the fallopian tube,
constituting only 2-4% of all tubal ectopic pregnancies which usually leads to uterine rupture with resultant life-threatening hemorrhage. Here we
aim to report a unique case of three recurrent ectopic pregnancy in the ipsilateral tube rst tubal, then tubal stump and then interstitial . This is a
unique occurrence in itself and as far as the literature was searched, only one such case has been reported so far.

Authors: Sharma Neeraj , Sharma Aditi , Kukreja Kanika , Chhabra Ajay , Sharma Raman
Published: January 2024

Background: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an enteric RNA virus causing hepatitis E infection worldwide. The increase in transfusion-transmitted
cases of HEV infections from asymptomatic blood donors causing serious illnesses among immunosuppressed recipients has been reported in the
past few years. To protect the patient from transfusion-acquired HEV infection, blood components are analysed by HEV screening before they are
provided to at-risk patients and all blood recipients. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of past and active HEV infections in
donors based on presence of IgG and IgM HEV antibodies. Material and methods: The study was conducted on 250 voluntary blood donors
donating in blood bank in Guru Nanak Dev Hospital, attached to Government Medical College, Amritsar. Serum samples were tested for the
presence of IgG and IgM antibodies for Hepatitis E by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test. Results: Out of total 250 subjects
in the study population, 75 samples were seropositive with antibodies, out of which 74 donors were sero-positive with IgG anitibodies, and 4
donors were seropositive with IgM antibodies. Thus showing HEV seroprevalence of 29.6% of IgG and 1.6% of IgM in voluntary blood donors in
our study. Conclusion:The high rate of asymptomatic HEVinfections and higher than expected HEVseroprevalence in voluntary blood donors in
our study raised the concern of presence of active viraemia which may be the source of infection in recipients.To prevent HEV transmission by
blood transfusion, There is a need for further data on HEVviraemia in blood donors with HEVRNAlevels and genotype testing.

Published: January 2024

The health of the periodontium is important for proper function of the tooth. It is a fact that periodontium is anatomically interrelated with dental
pulp by apical foramen and the lateral canals which create pathways for exchange of noxious agents between these two tissues. Periodontally
diseased tooth with severe bone loss may be well retained by removal of one or more of their roots. When the disease is restricted to one root and the
other root is healthy in case of mandibular molars, hemisection may be the treatment of choice. The present case report discusses hemisection in

Materials and methods. Data from genome-wide sequencing of 2598 toxigenic (ctxAB+tcpA+) strains of V. cholerae O1 El Tor, both obtained by the authors on the MiSeq (Illumina) platform, and retrieved from the NCBI database were used in the study. The SNP analysis software was developed in the Java and Python programming languages. Cytoscape program was used to visualize the dendrogram. The development of online GIS was carried out using the programming languages HTML, JavaScript and PHP. The freely distributed Leaflet library written in JavaScript was used as the core. Maps obtained from the OpenStreetMap community were used as cartographic data.
Results and discussion. A universal set of SNPs and software have been developed to analyze the data of genome-wide sequencing of cholera vibrio strains. It was shown that the majority of strains were distributed among several large clusters. The most closely related strains for cholera vibrions isolated in Russia since 2001 have been identified. An online GIS "Molecular genetic monitoring for V. cholerae" has been created, which allows the recognition of closely related strains directly on an electronic map.

PROBLEMA: La educación tradicional, con su enfoque fragmentado, enfrenta dificultades para comprender y abordar los desafíos complejos y multifacéticos del mundo contemporáneo, demandando una exploración más profunda de la transversalidad y los principios que la sustentan. OBJETIVO: Integrar los fundamentos teóricos y reflexiones en torno a la transversalidad desde la complejidad y la transdisciplinariedad. MÉTODO: Se realizó una revisión documental de obras de Capra, Najmanovich, Maturama, entre otros, desde el enfoque de la transversalidad, la complejidad y la transdisciplinariedad, de la cual se extrajeron reflexiones con nuevas formas de abordar la investigación y la educación. RESULTADOS: La complejidad, como enfoque de sistemas que se descomponen en partes, es esencial para abordar desafíos actuales en las diferentes disciplinas científicas mediante el abordaje transdisciplinario y la transversalidad que permiten dar una respuesta vital a las demandas de un mundo globalizado, el cual se puede aplicar en situaciones complejas del pensamiento revolucionario que exigen la obligatoriedad de aplicar la bioética en todos los avances científicos y prevenir ideas que atenten con la vida y provoquen guerras biológicas y químicas, contaminación ambiental, calentamiento global, pandemias y sus efectos. REFLEXIÓN INCONCLUSA: Con la complejidad y la transdisciplinariedad como herramientas fundamentales, el reto es cómo integrarlas de manera efectiva en la educación tradicional, donde se promueva un aprendizaje holístico y una comprensión profunda del entorno multifacético que nos rodea, para lo cual se considera la transversalidad a fin de contemplar el misterio de la vida con todas las miradas científicas y la aplicación de la bioética.

PROBLEMA: Poner en marcha el Currículum Nacional Base significó una nueva estrategia institucional para mejorar la calidad educativa nacional, se fundamenta en el aprendizaje por competencias, sin embargo, no se ha considerado la intervención interdisciplinar en la generación de condiciones que faciliten el aprendizaje adquirido, y luego de 15 años de funcionamiento, no se han visto cambios significativos positivos en la educación de niños y niñas de los distintos niveles educativos. OBJETIVO: identificar la participación interdisciplinaria como estrategia para la generación de condiciones que mejoren aprendizaje basado en competencias en niños de sexto grado de primaria. MÉTODO: Consistió en investigación documental que permitió la verificación del conocimiento generado y antecedentes que han participado como indicadores del empoderamiento del aprendizaje bajo en enfoque de la complejidad, de la transdisciplinariedad y de las competencias. RESULTADOS: Alcanzar las competencias no depende solamente del sistema educativo nacional, se trata de una compleja y entramada red de factores socioeconómicos que deben existir para lograr un aprendizaje en la población infantil, se deben considerar otros aspectos socioeconómicos como la integración familiar, estados nutricionales, servicios locales, economía familiar, ocupaciones, estima y el compromiso de la comunidad educativa. REFLEXIONES INCONCLUSAS: No se puede hablar de calidad educativa ni de alcance de competencias, cuando la población escolar del sector público carece de tantas oportunidades, posee tantas limitaciones y sobre todo cuando se observa la brecha educativa evidente entre el contexto rural y urbano del país y donde no se ha considerado la participación transdisciplinaria.

Cannabis use is most likely to begin during adolescence or emerging adulthood; and such use during these developmental periods has been associated with some negative physical, mental, and cognitive health outcomes. Some of these long-term negative effects of this consumption during adolescence may be explained by epigenetic changes through a process called DNA methylation. However, little is known about the epigenetic impact of drug use during adolescence. The current study examined associations between DNA methylation and cannabis use during adolescence. Analyses focused on two genes, AHRR and NR2B because their methylation has been implicated in illicit drug use. Participants included twenty-seven adolescents separated into two groups, cannabis users and control. After identifying the subjects who would participate in the research, the general research framework was formed. The inclusion criteria were age between 13 and 18 years old. Those individuals diagnosed with cannabis dependence comprised the CUD (Cannabis Use Disorder) group, verified through a urine test for cannabis. Participants in the CONT group were healthy individuals, who did not have a history and/or criteria for diagnosing chemical dependency. DNA methylation values were measured with salivary DNA and averaged for each gene. Relationships between cannabis use and DNA methylation were tested using multivariate regressions, adjusting for sociodemographic data, and age. Adolescents with psychoactive substance use face a considerable risk of co-occurring mental health problems, something that may involve a more difficult life situation, social problems, as well as a worse result in complying with socio-educational measures.

Authors: Jiahui Hu
Published: January 2024

To advance the development of Chinese women's pole vaulting technique, three-dimensional photogrammetry and video analysis methods were utilized to conduct kinematic analysis on the technique employed by Ren Mengqian, an outstanding female pole vaulter in China, during the 2019 National Indoor Track and Field Championships finals from an energy transfer perspective. The findings indicate that during the energy acquisition stage, Ren Mengqian executed a reasonable jumping action with appropriate jumping angle and timing that met technical requirements. However, during the energy storage stage, her bow rod had suboptimal effects in her fourth trial jump while insufficient bending of the rod occurred in her fifth trial jump which affected pole energy storage. In terms of energy release stage, Ren Mengqian maximized elastic potential energy through stretching but required acceleration for maximum vertical speed.
