Procalcitonin levels differences in preeclampsia and non preeclampsia
Authors: Fatimah Nur Istiqamah , Wahyuni Sitti , Arifuddin Sharvianty
Published: May 2021

One of the main complications that cause maternal death is preeclampsia/eclampsia. Activation of the systemic inflammatory response is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Urinary tract infections (UTI) can cause activation of the systemic inflammatory response, so that it is considered capable of causing preeclampsia. Procalcitonin is known as a marker of infection and very stable in serum, so it is a promising biomarker in detecting UTI. The investigators intend to investigate the association between UTI and preeclampsia through exploration of procalcitonin levels in preeclampsia and non-preeclampsia mothers. This study was a cross-sectional method, accident sampling technique. Respondents in this study amounted to 65, preeclampsia criteria were 40, and not preeclampsia were 25. The results showed no relationship between urinary tract infections during pregnancy and preeclampsia P = 0.074. Even so, procalcitonin levels in preeclampsia mothers were found to be higher than mothers without preeclampsia, with a value of P = 0.005. Which means that the inflammation that occurs in preeclampsia mothers is not caused by urinary tract infections. It is hoped that further research can be carried out on the relationship of urinary tract infections and preeclampsia by using a larger sample.

Multicultural Europe: The case of Bulgaria
Authors: BELOVA-GANEVA Gabriela Belova , GEORGIEVA Gergana Vasileva
Published: May 2021

The article aims at analyzing the cultural and linguistic diversity in Europe as
values worth being preserved since they are a guarantee for open consciousness.
Multiculturalism and multilingualism contribute to the goals of job creation and
sustainable growth. Multilingualism, which is a vital and integral part of Europe's
rich and cultural diversity, is a way out of the deep crisis that has gripped Europe
because the continent is a huge labor market, where English is the working
language, but knowledge of a universal language is not enough. The paper
emphasizes upon a very significant issue whose essence is: the task of our time is to
be able to realize that the unity of the human race lies in diversity. It is therefore
not accidental that the motto of the European Union states “United in diversity”.
The case of Bulgaria as a part of the European Union is also scrutinized in the
article. Bulgarians have lived for centuries at a crossroads between Europe and
Asia along with various peoples and ethnicities. This serves as an explanation as to
why the Balkans are a multicultural region despite the fact that it was often
associated with fragmentation and wars. An inference has been drawn that it is
apparent the modern Bulgarian people can find their identity at the European
Union level, at the Balkans’ level, at the level of the Bulgarian tradition, even at the
level of the local community. And it is feasible to have productive cooperation
between these levels of identities.

gang rape, acid throwing, and sexual violence at work place, dowry death and forced abortion. Acid
Attack is worldwide and it is considered to be the most abominable form of gender based violence against

between cinema and Indian Society as it is a cultural role player for Indian Audience as well as

in Indian Cinema acted between the dichotomy of passive subject and Pleasurable Object. Indian New
wave made a shift in the screen and contributed dialogues to women‟s role and position. Women became
a subject on lens. The representation of women in Indian cinema still endures with controversy and
characterized by diverse interpretations in our Multicultural land. This paper aims to examine the
Representation of acid attack survivors in Indian Cinema qualitatively with the help of case studies and

Authors: Hasrianti Andi
Published: May 2021

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif deskriptif yang bertujuan untuk mendapatkan gambaran mengenai kesalahan-kesalahan dalam menggunakan tanda baca pada tulisan karangan peserta didik kelas V MIN 2 Takalar. Sumber data dalam penelitian ini adalah guru dan peserta didik kelas V MIN 2 Takalar yang berjumlah 6 orang. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes, tugas, dan wawancara berbasis tugas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kesalahan penggunaan tanda koma adalah hal yang paling sering dilakukan oleh peserta didik. Penyebabnya adalah kesalahan penggunaan tanda koma yaitu peserta didik tidak menggunakan tanda koma di antara unsur-unsur dalam suatu pemerincian, untuk mengapit keterangan tambahan, dan untuk menghindari salah baca di belakang keterangan yang terdapat pada awal kalimat. Kesalahan penggunaan tanda titik sering terjadi karena peserta didik tidak memberi tanda titik pada akhir kalimat yang bukan pertanyaan atau seruan. Kesalahan penggunaan tanda hubung disebabkan karena tidak menggunakan tanda hubung untuk menandai bagian kata yang terpenggal oleh pergantian baris dan tidak menggunakan tanda hubung untuk menyambung unsur kata ulang. Adapun kesalahan penggunaan tanda titik koma karena peserta didik tidak menggunakannya sebagai pengganti kata hubung untuk memisahkan kalimat setara yang satu dari kalimat setara yang lainnya dalam kalimat majemuk. Hasil penelitian ini penting buat peserta didik untuk meningkatkan rasa ingin tahu mengenai ejaan karena berkaitan dengan kehidupan sehari-hari, terutama ketika menulis.

Politiche e pratiche per l’educazione linguistica, il multilinguismo e la comunicazione interculturale
Authors: Caruana Sandro , Chircop Karl , Gauci Phyllisienne , Pace Mario
Published: May 2021

Valuing diversity is one of the main goals of language education. This is both related to the education of learners of different nationalities and to the reasons for which languages are learned today, often determined by the need for social integration and to find employment. Language competences gain value through multilingualism, together with opportunities for intercultural communication. At the same time, language policies should be evaluated and renewed constantly. These issues are discussed in this volume, through contributions which take different languages into consideration and which are based on varied theoretical and conceptual frameworks, while pertaining to the fields of Applied Linguistics and Language Education.
Educazione linguistica e disturbi della comunicazione in bambini di origine bangladese

Authors: Tonioli Valeria
Published: May 2021

In this paper I present a case study conducted between October 2018 and October 2019 involving Bengali children aged 4 to 6 with migration background who live in Venice. These children may have special educational needs, communication disorders or language acquisition delay because they neither speak Italian L2 fluently at school nor Bengali, their L1, at home. On the basis of neuropsychiatrists’ hypotheses, I investigate the quality and type of language input they receive at home and in different social contexts, as well as the external factors that can impact acquisition of both the L1 and L2.

I futuri insegnanti d’inglese alla scuola primaria
Un’indagine sulla percezione delle competenze
Authors: Pavan Elena , Gesuato Sara
Published: May 2021

In this paper we explore primary school trainee teachers’ perception of their linguistic-communicative competence in EFL and of their training as language teachers. 44 questionnaires were administered and 17 semi-structured interviews were conducted with Italian trainee teachers. The findings revealed that the respondents considered themselves only partly ready to handle pluralistic approaches for teaching in a plurilingual, multicultural and socially fluid context. In fact, while they expressed confidence in their general pedagogical knowledge, they perceived their linguistic-cultural education and training insufficient to enable them to teach English for interactional purposes. A few suggestions are put forward at the end of the paper.
Aspetti interculturali nella comunicazione medico-paziente
Il punto di vista del personale sanitario e dei pazienti
Authors: Benucci Antonella , Grosso Giulia
Published: May 2021

Healthcare institutions are among the contexts which are heavily characterised by interlingual and intercultural contact. In these contexts communicative ‘short circuits’ can occur due to incomprehension resulting from linguistic and cultural difficulties. Such situations can compromise founding principles of medicine, amongst which equal opportunities for patients’ treatment, scrupulous attention and providing accurate information. The study investigates the perception of the effectiveness of mutual doctor-immigrant patient communication, the linguistic-cultural ‘imagery’ that results from it and the nature and/or absence of specific communication strategies.

Paesaggi linguistici e scrittura plurilingue
Un’analisi di testi plurilingui di allievi/e delle scuole secondarie di secondo grado
Authors: Mayr Gisela
Published: May 2021

The present research investigates linguistic landscaping in plurilingual written communication. Students were asked to write plurilingual texts, using all the languages available in their repertoire. This resulted in a systematic use of code-switching and translanguaging which both became part of the writing process. The data analysis showed that students used the different languages of their plurilingual repertoire to construct and vary meaning in the texts according to specific needs or requirements, thus creating subjective linguistic landscapes. On the basis of an analysis of 69 texts and 5 stimulated recalls held after the writing workshops, the following research questions were investigated: according to which criteria do students chose languages to communicate in writing? What type of attitudes and dispositions emerge? Which linguistic landscapes can be recognised?

Motivare a motivare: strategie motivazionali per gli alunni di lingua straniera nella secondaria di primo grado
Authors: Cucinotta Giacomo
Published: May 2021

In this study a mixed-methods design is used to investigate the perception of motivational strategies among Italian middle school students (aged 13). 162 participants completed a questionnaire on strengths and weaknesses of their language class and the importance of motivational strategies. Results confirm the cross-cultural relevance of strategies related to teachers’ attitude and the creation of a positive learning environment. Notably, the strategies that entail the use of a living language, as well as of authentic material, appear to play a distinctive role for Italian students. These findings support earlier research and highlight how teachers are in the best position to shape classroom environment, thus suggesting the need to include motivational strategies in their formation, and to strengthen them in cases in which they are present.

Potenziare la lingua dello studio per gli allievi di origine straniera
Il Service Po.Li.S. del Rotary Club di Rovigo
Authors: Santipolo Matteo , Garofolin Benedetta
Published: May 2021

The most recent data available from the Ministry of University and Research (2017) confirm that in Italy, students of foreign origin who have reached the age of secondary school still prefer to enrol in technical and professional institutes rather than in high schools. The same data also reveal how their school performance tends to be on average lower than that of their peers not of foreign origin, especially in scientific or technical subjects. Very often, the causes of this are to be found in a not yet adequate level of CALP. In this paper we illustrate a project (Po.Li.S.: Potenziamento Lingua dello Studio), the purpose of which was to improve the CALP of these students and in so doing their overall school results and motivation to study.

Authors: Da Pra Luigina Maria Gabriella
Published: May 2021

This paper aims to illustrate how the use of features of smartphones, such as the use of video-recordings and of a specific application (Kahoot!), can motivate learners within Italian middle school. When smartphones are integrated into a pedagogical framework, they provide an opportunity to explore forms of language and expression creatively and facilitate a training process centred on learning and on learners, favouring different intelligences and skills. Reference is made to the international and national context of regulations on the didactic use of mobile devices at school. Some examples of good practices are included too, and reference is made to a class-based activity in which an activity was carried out using the Kahoot! application.

Published: May 2021

The language policy of the University of Urbino, a mid-sized Italian university with a large number of Erasmus exchange participation and a good degree of internationalization, includes CLIL-based courses to its students as well as to international students. The policy of providing disciplines taught in Italian and in foreign languages, and the choice of alternating modules of Italian and foreign language teaching within the same course, supports multilingualism without penalizing the Italian language, thereby also promoting foreign language learning within the university. This study reports the results of a questionnaire distributed to students and teaching staff regarding a project, Didattica in lingua straniera – CLIL@uniurb, which includes also data related to students who took advantage of study abroad opportunities over the years.

Investigating burnout levels and its determinants among the veterinary medicine students: The case of Istanbul University
Authors: ÖZTÜRK Nurşen , KILIÇ Halil , EKİZ Bülent
Published: May 2021

This study was conducted to examine the burnout levels and its determinants among the veterinary medicine students. Answers (n = 447) to a survey formed the data of this study. Maslach Burnout Inventory - Student Scale, which was adapted to the Turkish language, was used to determine the burnout levels of the students. As a result, burnout levels were obtained as 13.31, 7.82, and 7.69 for Emotional Exhaustion (EE), Depersonalization (DP), and Personal Accomplishment (PA) components, respectively. Year of study and having a hobby had an effect on three of the burnout components. In order to determine the relationship between students’ burnout levels and students’ tendency to drop out, to work in a different profession after graduation and academic failure, a logistic regression analysis was conducted. Results revealed that year of study, WGPA, EE, DP, PA, repeating academic semester(s), number of repeated academic semester(s), and perceived difficulty of veterinary education were significantly associated with the students’ intention to drop out of the faculty. Gender, living situation, monthly income, EE, DP and PA affected education-occupation mismatch. Furthermore, gender, year of study, WGPA, living situation, monthly income, EE, DP, PA, and perceived difficulty level of the veterinary education had an influence on repeating academic semester(s). The results of this study reveal that burnout syndrome would lead to students’ dropping out of the faculty, education-occupation mismatch and academic failure.

The usage of electronic health records is widely used today in the modern medicine field due to its immense benefits. These benefits include and are not limited to allowing physician to access a patient’s chart remotely, provide alerts to a potential medication error and critical lab values. However, the usage of this technology in Traditional Malay Medicine is limited. This paper explores the acceptance usage of electronic health records in Traditional Malay Medicine in five healthcare organisations including private Traditional Malay Medicine practitioners in Malaysia. This research utilizes the exploratory prototyping approach where a prototype, MyPostnatalSys is developed and used to gain constructive feedback of the acceptance of electronic health records. MyPostnatalSys, an electronic health record prototype, was developed for integrating Traditional Malay Medicine and Modern Medicine services using an interoperability standard, HL7. The purpose of interoperability standards is to ensure patient data can be transmitted across multi-platform systems seamlessly. The results show that more than 90% respondents have shown a positive acceptance on the usage of electronic health records in Traditional Malay Medicine. However, there may exist some resistance in accepting electronic health records technology in private Traditional Malay Medicine practitioners. However Traditional Malay practitioners trained by a government led initiative for women’s health, Mamacare programme, are more open to accept the implementation. This shows that upskilling programmes such as Mamacare can reduce the barriers of acceptance in electronic health records in Traditional Malay practitioners.

We investigated multiwavelength fiber laser (MWFL) performance using different types of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) utilizing Lyot filter as comb filter. The lasing performances of linear SOA (LSOA), nonlinear SOA (NLSOA) and booster optical amplifier (BOA) at different current settings were observed. Among the three SOAs, LSOA has the best lasing performance due to the lowest peak power difference with the highest number of lasing lines, a high ER value of 42 dB and considerable high peak power of -14.1 dBm at 550 mA. The multiwavelength laser is stable within 60 minutes at power fluctuation of less than 0.2 dB. The output spectra at 550 mA for all the SOAs are 70 nm to 80 nm wavelength difference from the ASE spectra.

Based on the power-saving technologies, the design of an installation for coiling elliptical screw workpieces is worked out. Theoretical dependences for determining power and structural parameters of coiling a screw profile workpiece (SPW) on the elliptical mandrel are developed with consideration of the material grade specification and the parameters of technological equipment. The dependences of the moment value of SPW bending to the elliptical mandrel on its rotation angle, thickness and width are defined. The challenge is to develop the progressive methods of manufacturing augers and their sub-type - L-shaped auger spirals (LSAS) with high precision geometrical dimensions Computer simulation of the tape workpiece winding process on ellipse mandrel with initial conditions, displacements, deformations and stresses that arising in the material of tape workpice after applying the simulated efforts to it, was shown. Given simulation showed ranges where maximum stresses of tension and compression arising in material of tape workpiece, and made it possible to determine the minimum radius of curvature during winding, which is advisable to take at least 20 mm.

The overall performance of construction projects has been seemingly low and has negatively affected its efficacy in fulfilling national development agenda. Infrastructure projects are complex and riddled with numerous construction risks, and often involve large financial investments as well as several resources, particularly labour. The objective of this research paper is to identify the main factors that influence labour on construction sites of infrastructure projects. In achieving this research objective, 26 factors were extracted from literature and subsequently distributed for assessment by 355 identified respondents via a questionnaire-based survey. 63 respondents, representing a response rate of 17.75%, participated in returning completed questionnaires for further analysis. The main factors that influence on–site labour productivity were identified through the use of Relative Importance Index analysis. The three most significant factors identified were co-ordination between sub-contractors, labour skill and expertise within specific job scopes, and, availability of updated construction drawings at the project sites. Several other factors were also extracted through the analysis conducted on the garnered data. These factors will collectively be able to accord contractors a better comprehension of the influencing elements that either impinge or promote labour productivity. These findings are pertinent for construction firms in the efforts to progressively increase the level of labour productivity in the Malaysian construction sector, particularly within the parameters of infrastructure projects.

Public spaces are designed and managed in many different ways. In Hanoi, after the Doi moi policy in 1986, the transfer of the public spaces creation at the neighborhood-level to the private sector has prospered na-ture of public and added a large amount of public space for the city, directly impacting on citizen's daily life, creating a new trend, new concept of public spaces. This article looks forward to understanding the public spaces-making and operating in KDTMs (Khu Do Thi Moi - new urban areas) in Hanoi to answer the question of whether ‘socialization’/privatization of these public spaces will put an end to the urban public or the new means of public-making trend. Based on the comparison and literature review of studies in the world on public spaces privatization with domestic studies to see the differences in the Vietnamese context leading to differences in definitions and roles and the concept of public spaces in KDTMs of Hanoi. Through adducing and analyzing practical cases, the article also mentions the trends, the issues, the ways and the technologies of public-making and public-spaces-making in KDTMs of Hanoi. Win/loss and the relationship of the three most important influential actors in this process (municipality, KDTM owners, inhabitants/citizens) is also considered to reconceptualize the public spaces of KDTMs in Hanoi.
