El modo subjuntivo y su tratamiento teórico en gramáticas y manuales de español como lengua extranjera, con especial atención a las formas cantara/cantase
Authors: Zamorano Aguilar Alfonso
Published: July 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo es el análisis del modo subjuntivo y, en particular, del imperfecto (formas cantara/cantase). Metodológicamente, estudiamos cómo la teoría sobre dicho modo experimenta un proceso de recontextualización en virtud de los distintos niveles de tratamiento científico-didáctico. Dichos niveles los concretamos en cinco: teoría lingüística, gramática descriptiva del español, materiales de español como L1, gramáticas de ELE y manuales de ELE, aunque en esta investigación nos concentramos en las relaciones entre el nivel 1 y los niveles 4 y 5 en un corpus constituido por 55 textos (30 gramáticas de ELE y 25 manuales de ELE, B2-C1). Observamos cómo en el paso de un nivel a otro las unidades que se investiguen (el subjuntivo en nuestro caso) están sometidas a procesos de gramatización, desgramatización y regramatización en función del nivel científico-didáctico. En el caso del nivel 1 (teoría lingüística) analizamos en cuatro bloques los distintos enfoques desde los que se ha estudiado el modo subjuntivo: teorías semánticas o nocionales, teorías sintácticas, combinatorias, colocacionales o formalistas, teorías pragmático-discursivas y teorías mixtas o híbridas. A partir de aquí, fijamos algunos presupuestos básicos a partir de los cuales debería caminar, a nuestro juicio, la investigación y la didáctica de este modo. El nivel 3 (gramáticas de ELE) ha puesto de relieve la presencia de criterios híbridos con especial énfasis en los semánticos y sintácticos. El subjuntivo aparece caracterizado en este nivel por las nociones significativas, los entornos léxico-sintácticos, la temporalidad expresada y la variación. En cada bloque, analizamos los aspectos que singularizan el subjuntivo y, en particular, el tiempo imperfecto. En el caso de los manuales de ELE (nivel 4) hemos procedido según los mismos criterios que con las gramáticas. Se concluye un mayor equilibrio entre los criterios semánticos que en las gramáticas, lo que implica que la manualización de la teoría lingüística (el paso del nivel 1 al nivel 4) conlleva la difuminación de los límites entre criterios en favor de un enfoque genérico que une lo semántico y lo sintáctico. Además, se ha observado cómo la manualización, por tanto, permite la unificación de criterios y simplifica notablemente la polivalencia del subjuntivo, con rasgos que se desgramatizan, se regramatizan o se gramatizan con respecto al nivel 3. Estos hechos ponen, por tanto, de relieve cómo los materiales de ELE adoptan distintas estrategias explicativas y didácticas en función del nivel científico-didáctico en que se sitúen.
La terminología en el discurso docente de ELE. Contraste de las denominaciones y valores contextuales para la explicación de las formas verbales en -ría en gramáticas frente a manuales de ELE
Authors: Rodríguez-Tapia Sergio
Published: July 2023

La enseñanza de las formas verbales canónicas cantaría y habría cantado cuenta con multitud de denominaciones y de valores o usos contextuales, que divergen entre gramáticas y manuales para la enseñanza del español como lengua extranjera (ELE). La elección de una denominación u otra por parte del diseñador del material didáctico refleja cierta conceptualización de la forma verbal, ya sea modal (condicional), formal (simple), temporal (antepospretérito), etc. Lo mismo sucede cuando se explican sus usos, que incluyen los valores de atenuación, de sugerencia, de hipótesis, etc. Dada la disparidad de denominaciones que rotulan los usos en los materiales didácticos, consideramos que existen implicaciones didácticas relevantes en el discurso especializado que puede emplearse en la práctica docente. Esta investigación aborda la explicación de las formas verbales cantaría y habría cantado en un corpus de 30 gramáticas y 25 manuales de ELE. Nuestro objetivo general es arrojar luz sobre la brecha entre conocimiento teórico y aplicación práctica en el diseño de materiales de ELE mediante la identificación de discrepancias en el uso del metalenguaje en la explicación de las mencionadas formas verbales. Los objetivos específicos son diseñar un instrumento de análisis de los valores o usos contextuales de las formas verbales organizado en categorías, y contrastar la frecuencia de aparición de la terminología empleada y los valores contextuales prototípicos y no prototípicos para explicar las formas cantaría y habría cantado en gramáticas y manuales de ELE. Los resultados permiten destacar similitudes y divergencias notables entre los dos tipos de materiales didácticos, puesto que los manuales resultan menos variados en etiquetas y explicaciones de los valores de las formas en -ría. Las explicaciones de los usos de estas formas verbales parten de usos no prototípicos principalmente, especialmente de valores semánticos modales y virtuales.

Reflecting on Professional Development Opportunities: Links Between Conceptions of Mathematics Graduate Teaching Assistants and Their Self-Efficacy
Authors: Ghalichi Narmin , Cervello Rogers Kimberly , Van Staaden Moira
Published: July 2023

This study examines the perceptions of first-year, mathematics graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) participating in a six-week summer course designed to deepen their knowledge of collegiate mathematics teaching practices before being assigned to instruct undergraduate students in the subsequent fall semester. Through hybrid deductive-inductive thematic analysis, GTAs’ written reflections were analyzed and matched against changes in their self-efficacy assessed along two conceptual dimensions: self-improvement and stimulation of student learning. Results suggest that GTAs’ conceptualization of teaching practice informs changes in self-efficacy along both conceptual dimensions, with efficacy in self-improvement changing more than that of their ability to stimulate student learning. Therefore, the strength of the efficacy changes may be moderated by features of the professional development course. We explore defining features of the professional development course employed in this study, describing implications for the education and development of novice collegiate mathematics instructors, and the potential to optimize change along both conceptual dimensions of self-efficacy.
Increasing Student Engagement with Instructor Feedback using Criteria-Based Rubrics as a tool for Self-Assessment
Authors: Chambers Alex Wayne , Harkins Monaco Elizabeth
Published: July 2023

Abstract: Students need to actively engage with instructor feedback to improve their work, but many struggle incorporating feedback to improve their skills. This paper describes a strategy for using criteria-based rubrics as self-assessment tools to increase student engagement with instructor feedback. Initially, the instructor creates a criteria-based rubric aligned with the objectives of an assignment. Students then use this rubric to self-assess their work. This is followed by the instructor evaluating the student self-assessment to provide feedback. The student then has an opportunity to apply this feedback to their work prior to submission, as well as reflect on the quality of their work. Additional application of this strategy to the process of peer-review is also discussed.

The population of Monrovia is increasing accompanied by rapid urbanization. Due to rapid urbanization, economic development, higher living standards, and changes in consumption patterns and lifestyle, the generation rate of waste has increased. Mismanagement of solid waste tends to hinder any progress toward environmental sustainability. This study endeavored to determine Improper Solid Waste Management at the Duala Market, Monrovia-Liberia examines the connection between population growth, economic development, and the rise in waste production. The study evaluated behavioral factors on a qualitative and quantitative level, including knowledge, attitude, and practices of solid waste management, stakeholder collaboration, and obstacles to sustainable waste management in Monrovia. To display the various socioeconomic groups in the city, households were chosen at random (simple and stratified). The key findings revealed socio-demographic (70%) Waste generated are inadequately disposed of by female, as a result of the large fragment of waste that is still not collected, waste is dumped and burned in the open. followed by intervention to reduce improper waste management accounts (40%) which need public awareness and factors leading to improper waste management accounts (30%), not cognizant of the waste management area. These waste management challenges have become heightened because of insufficient technology to ensure proper management and low budgetary allocations for effective waste management.

Background Implant-based immediate breast reconstruction surgery with nipple-sparing mastectomy has recently been favored by patients. However, in patients who do not wish to undergo balancing procedures, it is difficult to select the appropriate implant size, making it challenging to achieve a symmetrical breast shape. Therefore, this study investigated the differences in breast asymmetry and other complications in patients who underwent a two-stage procedure or direct-to-implant (DTI) breast reconstruction to determine whether the two-stage procedure can produce more favorable outcomes.Methods The participants of this study were patients who underwent immediate two-stage breast reconstruction or DTI breast reconstruction from May 2018 to April 2022, did not receive postoperative radiotherapy, and did not wish to undergo any balancing procedures. An acellular dermal matrix was used for breast reconstruction in all patients, and a single reconstructive surgeon performed all the operations. Statistical significance was set at P<0.05.Results No significant differences in complications were found between the patients who underwent DTI breast reconstruction and those who underwent two-stage breast reconstruction. In the two-stage breast reconstruction group, breast volume asymmetry was observed in 18.4% (seven patients), which was significantly lower than the percentage of 44.7% (17 patients) observed in the DTI group.Conclusions Breast asymmetry was observed in a significant proportion of the patients in both groups. However, because breast volume asymmetry was more common in the DTI group than in the two-stage breast reconstruction group, two-stage breast reconstruction may be a favorable method for patients who do not wish to undergo balancing procedures.
Sequential breast and nipple-areolar complex reconstruction after soft tissue necrosis following augmentation mastopexy: a case report
Authors: Shin Se Ho , Kim Ki Hyun , Woo Sang Seok , Kim Kyung Min , Lee Jun Won , Kim Seong Hwan , Choi Jai Koo , Suh In Suck
Published: July 2023

Breast augmentation mastopexy is a common procedure in cosmetic plastic surgery. Augmentation mastopexy has proven to be a relatively safe operation, but surgeons should be aware of and able to cope with disastrous complications such as soft tissue necrosis and nipple loss. The most important consideration in breast reconstruction is the recovery of breast shape and symmetry, as well as the maintenance of the shape of the nipple-areolar complex without any complications. We experienced a case of sequential breast and nipple-areolar complex reconstruction, in which the purse-string suture technique was used to repair medium-sized circular defects accompanied by nipple loss in the central area of both breasts and to preserve the shape of both breast mounds. Modified CV flaps were performed for left nipple reconstruction, and the Elsahy method and the purse-string suture technique were used to reconstruct the right nipple. Tattooing was performed on both breasts for areolar reconstruction. Through sequential reconstruction, the patient achieved satisfactory aesthetic results. In medium-sized, round defects on the central breast accompanied by nipple loss, the pursestring technique is a simple and effective reconstructive option that enables maintenance of the breast mound shape without requiring additional incision or distortion of surrounding structures.

Published: July 2023

A 25-year-old woman was referred for discomfort when breathing through her left nose. The patient had undergone augmentation rhinoplasty 5 years ago, after which hypertrophic scarring occurred in the left nostril. Several corticosteroid injections were administered as the first line of treatment, but with no symptom improvement. Therefore, we proceeded with surgical scar removal, with the use of a nasal conformer. However, scarring in the left nostril recurred. Accordingly, we proceeded with further surgical treatment using the scar folding technique. After scar folding, neither scarring nor nostril stenosis recurred during 1 year of postoperative follow-up. To summarize, herein, we report a case of hypertrophic scarring in the nostril that was successfully treated with the scar folding technique.
Choroba jako życie w świetle opowieści maladycznych o dzieciach i dla dzieci Katarzyny Ryrych
Authors: Chłosta-Zielonka Joanna Maria
Published: July 2023

W artykule zostały zanalizowane opowieści maladyczne poświęcone dzieciom i dla dzieci autorstwa Katarzyny Ryrych: Siedem sowich piór, Pepa w raju, Lato na Rodos i Wyspa mojej siostry. Celem analizy jest odpowiedź na pytanie, w jaki sposób opowiadać najmłodszemu odbiorcy o sytuacji granicznej, jaką jest przewlekła, nieuleczalna i śmiertelna choroba. Odbiorca dziecięcy traktowany podmiotowo i z poszanowaniem prawa do poznania prawdy o świecie i jego zagrożeniach powinien być przygotowany do rozmowy na trudne tematy. Refleksji poddana zostanie możliwość pokonania, a raczej przezwyciężenia nieodwracalnego doświadczenia choroby (śmiertelnej) poprzez mówienie o niej wprost, a czasem poprzez jej metaforyzację. Choroba dzieci staje się przeobrażoną, wzbogaconą o ważne doświadczenia, formą życia.
Dzieciństwo w cieniu wojny – przedstawienie pojęcia wojny we współczesnych narracyjnych książkach obrazkowych dla dzieci
Authors: Bednarek Magdalena
Published: July 2023

Artykuł poświęcony jest czterem narracyjnym książkom obrazkowym obecnym na polskim rynku wydawniczym, które uznać można za przedstawiające wojnę w ujęciu uniwersalnym: Wrogowi D.Caliego i S. Blocha, Bajce o Wojnie J. Rudniańskiej i P. Fąfrowicza, Wojnie, która zmieniła Rondo R. Romanyszyn i A. Łesiwa oraz Wojnie J. J. Letrii i A. Letrii. Celem jest sprawdzenie, w jakim stopniu zagadnienie to omawiane jest w aspekcie emocjonalnym, intelektualnym oraz historycznym. Analiza elementów wizualnych i słownych prowadzi do wniosku, że książki te oddziaływają przede wszystkim afektywnie, a dominującą przedstawianą emocją jest lęk. Większość analizowanych książek dąży do jego łagodzenia, przede wszystkim przez wprowadzenie pozytywnego zakończenia. Jedynie Wojna wyłamuje się z tej konwencji, każąc pytać o granice pedagogiki grozy. Komponent intelektualny najsilniej reprezentowany jest we Wrogu, przynosząc refleksje na temat odpowiedzialności za wojnę oraz mechanizmy angażowania w nią jednostek. Zauważyć przy tym należy, że obecność tego aspektu w prezentacji konfliktu zbrojnego nie jest zależna od projektowanego przez wydawcę wieku odbiorców. Komponenty historyczne są słabo widoczne w omawianych utworach, pozostają niedopowiedziane, ale dostępne wiedzy dorosłego, lub dotyczą detali. Prowadzi to do wniosku, że analizowane książki kreują antywojenne postawy, przede wszystkim odwołując się do emocji, co nie zapewnia jednak bezpieczeństwa emocjonalnego dziecięcych odbiorców.
(Re)Examining Teenagers in Award-winning Australian Books for Young Readers
Authors: Hillel Margot
Published: July 2023

The Children’s Book Council of Australia has been providing awards for young readers since 1946. Over the intervening years categories have been enlarged, acknowledging in part changes in readership and changes in conceptions of childhood and recognising a newer, defined category of ‘teenage’. However, prior to the introduction of the Older Readers category in 1982, there were a number of award-winning books which might well have fitted into that category. This paper will examine books for Older Readers 1972–2022 as a way of comparing Australian attitudes to ‘childhood’ across those decades, recognising that the material young people read often both reflects societal attitudes and reinforces them. What sort of childhood/teenagehood is portrayed, valorised or criticised in these books and have these aspects changed?

W artykule przenalizowano baśń Wieloskórka (niem. Allerleirauh) autorstwa braci Grimm w jej kształcie z roku 1812 w odniesieniu do źródeł oraz historii edycyjnej zbioru Kinder- und Hausmärchen (KHM). Wybór pierwszej wersji Wieloskórki wynika z faktu, że wyróżnia się ona szczególnym potraktowaniem problematyki kazirodztwa i jest unikatowym wariantem nie tylko na tle późniejszych edycji tej baśni, lecz również innych realizacji typu ATU 510b (np. takich autorów jak Straparola, Basile czy Perrault). Obecność motywu szczęśliwego małżeństwa ojca i córki w wersji z 1812 roku każe zapytać o przyczyny tak zaskakującego kształtu narracji, zwłaszcza że pierwsza wersja Wieloskórki często pomijana jest w większości filologicznych analiz na rzecz jej wersji ostatecznej z siódmego wydania KHM (1857)

Objectives

Early diagnosis of childhood growth disorders, their timely and proper treatment are important for better outcomes.The aim of the present study was to assess the results of the first 18 months of the growth disorders related twinning programme “Partners4Growth” implemented at all tertiary university pediatric endocrinology clinics in Bulgaria.

Methods

In 2019, Partners4Growth started operation at 7 centres (4 experienced and 3 twin centres) with the main aim of aligning their practices in the shortest possible time. Education of twin centres’ personnel was organized, equipment and methods for growth evaluation and follow-up were standardized. The approach was tested initially at one centre. At baseline and at the 18th month a questionnaire concerning diagnosis and management of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) requiring disorders was applied.

Results

A total of 104 new patients were diagnosed compared to 30 in the previous year. Of those, 91 started rhGH treatment – 65 (64 %) GH deficient, 12 (12 %) Turner syndrome, 7 (7 %) Prader–Willi syndrome patients, and 7 (7 %) born small for gestational age without postnatal catch-up, representing 35.8 % of all currently rhGH treated Bulgarian children. A better geographical coverage and more advanced diagnostic and management practices were achieved.

Conclusions

Partners4Growth facilitated the alignment of the tertiary pediatric endocrinology centres competences thus leading to an improved diagnosis and treatment of growth disorders as well as better patients’ access. For its short existence, the Programme increased significantly the number of new patients in the difficult times of COVID-19 pandemic thus justifying its continuation.
Enabling infinite Q factors in absorbing optical systems
Authors: Kolkowski Radoslaw , Shevchenko Andriy
Published: July 2023

Resonant optical structures have widespread applications in science and technology. However, their quality (Q) factors can be significantly deteriorated, if some of their parts exhibit optical absorption. Here, we show that by coupling a lossy mode of such a structure to two independent lossless modes, one can create a nonradiating and absorption-free bound state in the continuum (BIC). The Q factor of such a BIC is theoretically unlimited despite interaction with an absorbing structure. We use this mechanism to design a plasmonic metasurface with Q factors that are close to 107 in the visible spectral range. The proposed mechanism is general and can be used to engineer ultrahigh-Q resonances in various systems containing absorbing structures.
Population, Institutions, and Violent Conflicts – How Important is Population Pressure in Violent Resource-Based Conflicts?
Authors: Adanu Kwami
Published: July 2023

This paper examines the moderating role of institutions in explaining the effects of population density, income, and high-valued natural resources (oil) on violent conflict events. Panel-Corrected Standard Errors and Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood estimators were applied. Results show that population density beyond 2293 persons per square kilometre increases violent conflict events. Further, institutional quality has a moderating effect on violent conflict events – stronger corruption control reduces the positive effect of significant oil production on violent conflict events and weakens the negative effect of per capita income on such events. The results suggest that reducing violent conflict events requires at least three things; (1) keeping population density below 2293 persons per square kilometre, (2) investing in institutional quality improvements, and (3) raising incomes.
South Asian and Indigenous Experiences at the US–Mexico Border
Authors: Patel Soham
Published: July 2023

This essay addresses the cultural politics of US Empire as it appears at the site of the US–Mexico border. I offer a reading of United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind that situates the case within the ongoing violence of US settler colonialism and border imperialism. To do this, I juxtapose two texts—a fictional short film and an interview—located at the borderlands. These texts highlight not only the violence South Asians confront as a result of the global War on Terror, but also how the expansion of the US security state in the post-9/11 era has further dispossessed Indigenous communities located at the US–Mexico border. The short film Thank You, Come Again (2020) was written by, directed by, and stars South Asian American Nirav Bhakta in a story about an undocumented South Asian convenience store clerk. In this short, the clerk contends with the memories of the loss of his father at the hands of border police in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. The second text, an interview with Tohono O’odham activist Ofelia Rivas, emerged from a 2006 project entitled “O’odham Against the Wall.” In this interview, Rivas situated the construction of a border wall on the Tohono O’odham land within the context of post-9/11 racial anxieties. Together, these two texts offer us a meditation not only on the state of South Asian America 100 years after US v. Thind, where race-making continues to shape the lives of the diaspora, but also the settler logics that are entangled with this historic case and the ways in which South Asians have also become complicit in settler colonial processes. However, I suggest these two texts offer the diaspora the possibility to radically rupture their complicities by forming a relational politics against the white settler nationalism that continues to target both South Asians and Indigenous communities for domination at the border and beyond.

SARS‐CoV‐2 may directly and indirectly damage lung tissue and other host organs, but there are few system‐wide, untargeted studies of these effects on the human body. Here, we developed a parallelized mass spectrometry (MS) proteomics workflow enabling the rapid, quantitative analysis of hundreds of virus‐infected FFPE tissues. The first layer of response to SARS‐CoV‐2 in all tissues was dominated by circulating inflammatory molecules. Beyond systemic inflammation, we differentiated between systemic and true tissue‐specific effects to reflect distinct COVID‐19‐associated damage patterns. Proteomic changes in the lungs resembled those of diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) in non‐COVID‐19 patients. Extensive organ‐specific changes were also evident in the kidneys, liver, and lymphatic and vascular systems. Secondary inflammatory effects in the brain were related to rearrangements in neurotransmitter receptors and myelin degradation. These MS‐proteomics‐derived results contribute substantially to our understanding of COVID‐19 pathomechanisms and suggest strategies for organ‐specific therapeutic interventions.
Model for Ulayat Land Dispute Resolution Based on Participatory Justice in the Era of Sustainable Development
Authors: Heryanti B Rini , Sihotang Amri Panahatan
Published: July 2023

The goal of this research is twofold: to investigate and evaluate the existing model for the resolution of disputes concerning customary rights in Indonesia and to devise a model for the resolution of such conflicts that is founded on participatory justice and is appropriate for use in an era in which sustainable development is a priority. The Juridical Empirical approach is employed as the methodology for this investigation. According to the study’s findings, the lack of instruments or mechanisms for resolving ulayat land disputes will make it difficult for indigenous peoples to gain access to the magical religious values of indigenous peoples related to the spiritual, social, and cultural values of indigenous peoples. These magical religious values are tied to indigenous peoples’ traditional ways of life. Indigenous peoples’ rights can be protected through participatory justice by exerting influence over the processes and policies involved in the resolution of ulayat land disputes. This ensures that indigenous peoples will continue to have access to social rights and human rights about preserving their values, spiritual, social, and cultural qualities sustainably.

Authors: Mahfud Muh Afif
Published: July 2023

The management of Indonesian agrarian law has created discrepancy of resources ownership or injustice. This article offer a new perspective namely progressive agrarian law. This is a normative juridical research with conceptual approach by using primary, secondary and tertiary data. Those data are collected through literature research and analyzed with content analysis. Based on analysis, it can be concluded that there are several characteristic of progressive agrarian law, namely : (1) dynamic and contextual and respect the diversity because this consider social-political-cultural and economical condition of the society; (2) agrarian justice oriented to solve inequality of agrarian resources by doing affirmative action; (3) emphasize the importance of conscience in law making and law enforcement (involve intellectual, emotional and spiritual quotient); (4) give the chance for law enforcement to do rule breaking toward injustice regulation (substantive justice orientation); (5) pay attention disadvantage person (poor people) who lives under poverty and experience injustice.

Published: July 2023

The Constitutional Court as one of the institutions that exercises judicial function has a final and binding decision that binds all parties. However, in practice, the decisions of the Constitutional Court are often ignored by parties, one of which is the Supreme Court. There are several Supreme Court decisions that do not consider the decisions of the Constitutional Court. This demonstrates disobedience to legal norms that are final. This is the reason why the researcher wants to examine the constitutionality of the Supreme Court’s decision which does not consider the decision of the Constitutional Court, and what are the legal implications. This research is doctrinal research with a normative legal approach, that used secondary data obtained through literature study. Based on the results of the study, the decisions of the Supreme Court which do not consider the decisions of the Constitutional Court can be said to be unconstitutional, or it can be said that there has been a violation of the constitution because the decisions of the Constitutional Court represent the essence of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The legal implication obtained are the supreme court decision is still be act as jurisprudence; there is legal confusion and uncertainty regarding the conflicting decisions; the occurrence of constitutionalism justice delay; and can undermine the authority of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.
