Euphemism of taboo translation in the Big Little Lies Series
Authors: Lestari Rita , Sutrisno Adi
Published: July 2023

To maintain cultural conformity and moral standards and ensure the target language can receive the message. Translators often use translation strategies that replace or disguise taboo words with more neutral and polite expressions to express the same message. Therefore, this study attempts to identify translation strategies and the implications of using those strategies. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with the data source "Big Little Lies series", taken from the HBO website and translated by Dhani as a free translator. The data is taken only for taboo words that have euphemism meanings in the target language. From the 145 data collected, Mona Baker's 5 strategies were found, namely (1) Omission translation strategy with many as 50 data, (2) Less expressive translation strategy with many as 38 data, (3) Paraphrase translation strategy with related words with many as 29 data, (4) There 23 data are borrowing translation strategies, and (5) 14 data that uses translation strategies using more common words. Using those strategies has implications for reducing the emotional value of the source language, saving the esteem of the viewer, and smoothing the use of taboo words so that their usage can be accepted in the target language's culture.

However, there are limited studies identifyingthe linkage between virtual team leadership and team performancedespite its prominence. Therefore, this study aims to examine the link betweenvirtual team leadership and team performanceamong work remote employees working in virtual environment. The survey was distributed to a sample size of 338 remote employees among selected companies that agreed to participate with a response rate of 27.6 percent(105 respondents). The collected data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics via IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). It is found that virtual team leadership have positive significant effect on team performance. In particular, virtual leaders who communicate well through virtual platform would affect the team performance. This indicates the need for existing leaders to be equipped with the latest know-how on digital communication.
Problems with Medical Claims that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain Can Fix
Authors: Hawayek Joe , AbouElKhir, MD Osama
Published: July 2023

In medical insurance, there are both valid and legitimate claims that should be covered by the insurer and fraudulent or inappropriate claims that should not be paid. Problems arise in scenarios when valid claims are not paid and when fraudulent or inappropriate claims are paid.  Hospitals and insurers play critical roles in these cases. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain technologies can play significant roles in addressing the problems associated with medical insurance claims. Some of the ways in which these technologies can help are using AI algorithms to analyze data stored on the blockchain for fraud detection, and leveraging blockchain's transparency to improve the accuracy of AI models by providing access to a larger dataset. The author addresses approaches for each senario.
Extending the Simple View of Reading in Second and Foreign Language Learning: A Meta-Analytic Structural Equation Modeling Approach
Authors: Lee Hansol , Lee Jang Ho
Published: July 2023

This study used a meta-analytic structural equation modeling approach to build extended versions of the simple view of reading (SVR) model in second and foreign language (SFL) learning contexts (i.e., SVR-SFL). Based on the correlation coefficients derived from primary studies, we replicated and integrated two previous extended meta-analytic SVR models, that is, Quinn and Wagner’s (2018) model with an English-speaking population with a cognitive factor and Peng et al.’s (2021) model with Chinese-speaking readers with metalinguistic skills. A total of 180 independent samples (N = 36,235) obtained from 152 empirical studies in SFL contexts were included in our meta-analytic structural equation model. The results revealed that the collected data successfully replicated H. Lee et al.’s (2022) SVR model in SL contexts (SV2R) in terms of overall model fit and moderation effects; in addition, the results confirmed that the data fit well with the extended SVR-SFL models.

Heterotopic pancreas (HPG) is an aberrant anatomical malformation that is most commonly located in the upper gastrointestinal tract. The presence of an aberrant pancreas in most cases is asymptomatic, but in a number of clinical situations it is accompanied by symptoms that require drug therapy, sometimes surgical or endoscopic intervention. Analysis of the clinical manifestations and symptoms of BPH is important in choosing the tactics of treating patients. The difficulty lies in the fact that there is not enough information on BPH in the literature, there are no data from a study in a large cohort of patients with BPH. The purpose of the publication is to review clinical cases, including our own observation, and compare them with a systematic review of the literature in order to draw conclusions about the features of clinical manifestations, pathomorphosis and modern principles of treatment of the disease.

Published: July 2023

Introduction. Despite the numerous studies carried out to improve the technique for abdominal operations using new suture materials, stitching technologies and various types of intestinal sutures, the failure of intestinal anastomoses sutures remains a serious surgical problem in both adult and pediatric practice. The purpose of our study is a comparative analysis of the healing of the interintestinal fistula using various types of sutures in an experiment on animals (newborn rabbits). Materials and methods. The experiment was performed on 15 newborn rabbits with reproduction of a model of intestinal obstruction at the level of the ileum and the imposition of end-to-end small-intestinal anastomoses and de Lorimier-Harrison plication with interrupted and continuous sutures. 3 groups were formed: the imposition of a plication anastomosis using a single-row continuous suture (group I (n = 5)), an end-to-end anastomosis using a single-row continuous suture (group II (n = 5)), group III (n = 5) - end-to-end anastomosis with a single-row interrupted suture. With the help of modern morphological research methods, the degree of the infiltrative-destructive process in the peri-anastomosed areas has been studied. Results. It was found that when using all types of sutures in the areas surrounding the anastomosis (with an implicit advantage of a continuous suture), similar morphological changes were observed, indicating the remodeling of the mucous membrane (RM), low regenerative potential of the small intestine. Deeper degenerative changes in the small intestine SO were observed during the correction of intestinal obstruction using an interrupted suture. Conclusion. The use of a continuous suture (in some cases (3 out of 5) has some advantage over the interrupted suture in the form of a relative preservation of the proliferative compartment zone with the presence of highly specialized cells. Counting Paneth cells, as an indicator of the regenerative capabilities of the small intestine CO, is a promising and objective method for assessing the quality small bowel anastomosis.

Published: July 2023

Transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve replacement has recently emerged as an increasingly common alternative for high surgical risk patients. We report a case of a successful transseptal transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve replacement for the treatment of a bioprosthetic mitral valve degeneration and severe regurgitation, in an 86-year-old patient who had undergone transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve procedure 6 years ago. This case emphasizes the crucial role of a careful preoperative assessment using multimodality imaging to plan the procedure, in a patient with higher risk of left ventricular outflow obstruction due to the previous transcatheter aortic valve-in- valve procedure.
Persuading Climate Skeptics with Facts: Effects of Causal Evidence vs. Consensus Messaging
Authors: Kim Jin Woo , Liu Sophia Ruijun
Published: July 2023

Communicating the “97%’’ scientific consensus has been the centerpiece of the effort to persuade climate skeptics. Still, this strategy may not work well for those who mistrust climate scientists, to begin with. We examine how the American public—Republicans in particular—respond when provided with a relatively detailed causal explanation summarizing why scientists have concluded that human activities are responsible for climate change. Based on a preregistered survey experiment (N = 3007) assessing the ef- fectiveness of detailed causal evidence vs. traditional consensus messaging, we found that both information treatments increase belief in anthropogenic climate change. The causal treatment was more effective, but the difference in effects was substantively small. Importantly, in contrast to the motivated reasoning theory, both information treatments changed skeptics’ beliefs about climate change. We conclude that conveying scientific information can reduce, though not eliminate, misperceptions on climate change.
Shoreline Dynamics Assessment of Bangladeshusing Integrated GIS-DSAS Techniques
Authors: Reza Capt. G.A.M Ali
Published: July 2023

Coastal areas of Bangladesh are more susceptible to the adverse effects of climate change due to their geographic location and geological condition. The coastal zones and offshore islands of the country have indisputably experienced the combined consequences of global temperature and sea level rise. Aiming to study and understand shoreline dynamics and shoreline change, medium resolution (30m) satellite imageryover 30 (1990-2020) years was being executed. The Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) in the GIS platform was used in conjunction with other geospatial techniques to ascertain shoreline dynamics in multiple satellite images taken over this period, and afterward, the spatial outcomes were validated through a detailedfield investigation. The study demarcated that the shoreline of Dublar Char is subjected to severe erosion andaccretion and has undergone significant morphological changes. On the basis of average shoreline change rates, the island's shoreline is divided into 6 accretion zones and 4 erosion zones, with accretion being the dominant process. Accretion occurs in the south and south-western parts of the island, particularly those near the sea heads, which have experienced significant accretion at a rate of more than 86 m/yr and the consequent westward and south-east migration of the shore due to the active deposition along the coast. Besides, minor alterations were observed in the north and north-eastern part of the island. The study also evident that climate change, windy storms, variability in coast material, intermittent wave and air action, longshore transport, and anthropogenic activities are prime factors that contribute to the highly dynamic nature of the shorelines of Dublar Char island. Therefore, this study demonstrates the benefit of using an integrated GIS-DSAS tool to investigate spatiotemporal shoreline change, and it might be valuable in land-use planning and coastal erosion mitigation on Dublar Char Island.

天野川(あまのがわ)周辺の七夕伝承の心性史的起源とその変遷の経緯を探る。方法:旧河内国交野郡(大阪府枚方市・交野市)・旧近江国坂田郡を流れる天野川を中心にタナバタに関する古記録や口頭伝承を辿る。結果:近世から現代において確認できる七夕の記録や伝承の源泉を中世期の文献に確認できた。さらにその源泉は奈良時代の文献に辿りつく事がわかった。また物語・芸能・和歌の世界観と近江国坂田郡の七夕伝承との同質性を確認できた。結論:天体観測・宗教・物語・和歌・芸能と地域伝承との相互関連性を見出せた。To explore the History of mentalities origins of the Tanabata tradition around the Amano River (Amanogawa) and how it has changed over time.Methods: We traced ancient records and oral traditions related to Tanabata, focusing on the Amano River, which flows through the former Katano County in Kawachi Province and the former Sakata County in Omi Province in Japan.Results: The source of the records and oral traditions of Tanabata from the early modern period to the present day was confirmed in documents from the medieval period. Furthermore, the source of the Tanabata tradition can be traced back to documents from the Nara period (710-794). We were also able to confirm the homogeneity of the worldview of tales, performing arts, and waka poetry and the Tanabata tradition of Sakata-gun, Omi Province.Conclusion: We found interconnections between astronomical observation, religion, stories, waka poetry, performing arts, and local traditions.
Bilingualism and ageing independently impact on language processing: evidence from comprehension and production
Authors: Fernandes Eunice G. , Segaert Katrien , Rahman Foyzul , Wetterlin Allison , Wheeldon Linda
Published: July 2023

To examine the combined effects of ageing and bilingualism in language processing, we tested young and older monolingual and bilingual speakers in L1 comprehension and production. In Experiment 1, bilinguals detected words slower than monolinguals in sentences with low-constraint context, but not when high-constraint was provided. Older adults outperformed younger adults in high-constraint sentences. In Experiment 2, older speakers were slower than younger to produce small-scope prepositional phrases (e.g., ‘the cone above the grape), suggesting more extensive planning. Bilingual disadvantages were observed in larger-scope complex phrases (e.g., ‘the cone and the pink grape’). The results overall support bilingual disadvantages in syntactic processing and age-preserved syntax, alongside semantic processing unaffected by either bilingualism or age. We found no interactions between age and bilingualism, suggesting that these two factors independently impact on language processing.
Modeling Partial Knowledge in Multiple-Choice Cognitive Diagnostic Assessment
Authors: Fukushima Kentaro , Okada Kensuke
Published: July 2023

Diagnostic tests are typically administered in a multiple-choice format owing to their advantages of objectivity and time efficiency. The MC-DINA family of models, a representative class of cognitive diagnostic models for multiple-choice items, efficiently and parsimoniously estimates the mastery profiles of examinees. However, the existing models often overestimate the latent traits of examinees when they respond with partial knowledge, which is often observed in educational assessment. Therefore, novel models of the MC-DINA family that can appropriately handle such responses were developed in this study. Contrary to the existing models, the proposed models placed no restrictions on the Q-vector, which represents attribute specifications.Simulation and empirical studies verified that the proposed approach can resolve the problem of overestimation.
Remembering the truth or falsity of advertising claims: A preregistered model-based test of three competing theoretical accounts
Authors: Nadarevic Lena , Bell Raoul
Published: July 2023

Given the large amount of information that people process daily, it is important to understand memory for the truth and falsity of information. The most prominent theoretical models in this regard are the Cartesian model and the Spinozan model. The former assumes that both “true” and “false” tags may be added to the memory representation of encoded information; the latter assumes that only falsity is tagged. In the present work, we contrasted these two models with an expectation-violation model hypothesizing that truth or falsity tags are assigned when expectations about truth or falsity must be revised in light of new information. An interesting implication of the expectation-violation model is that a context with predominantly false information leads to the tagging of truth whereas a context with predominantly true information leads to the tagging of falsity. To test the three theoretical models against each other, veracity expectations were manipulated between participants by varying the base rates of allegedly true and false advertising claims. Memory for the veracity of these claims was assessed using a model-based analysis. To increase methodological rigor and transparency in the specification of the measurement model, we preregistered, a priori, the details of the model-based analysis test. Despite a large sample size (N = 208), memory for truth and falsity did not differ, regardless of the base rates of true and false claims. The results thus support the Cartesian model and provide evidence against the Spinozan model and the expectation-violation model.
“Master's Esoteric Magic”: Syncretism for the sake of survival
Authors: Notokusumo Daniel Tomi
Published: July 2023

The impact of industrialization on religion has many dimensions, one of which is thecommercialization that is strengthening it. Commercialization occurs mainly by changing themeaning of the sacred to semi-holy or even mundane. However, this change is not merely a trickby certain actors, which incidentally are institutional leaders (supplier), but also based on theinsistence of the people (demand-customer). Therefore this paper must also be seen as a series ofcritical discussions on new tendencies in the analysis of the sociology of religion, such as RogerFinke and Rodney Stark in his idea of supply-side religion.

Introduction: Ability to taste 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) predicts both taste sensitivity and food preferences, with PROP tasters being more sensitive to sweet taste in foods, which may lead to less intake of sugary foods. However, when obesity progresses, the individual’s sense of taste and eating patterns may change. The aim of this study was to evaluate if PROP taster status affected habitual sweet food consumption and nutritional intake in obese and non-obese people. Methods: A total of 88 obese and 92 non-obese Malay male and female participants aged 20-45 years were classified into PROP non-tasters, medium tasters, or supertasters by using PROP filter paper screening procedure. Sweet food consumption was assessed using food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), while dietary intake was measured by using 3-day food diary. Data were analysed using General Linear Model (GLM) Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to compare for differences and associations among variables. Results: Overall, there was no significant association between body mass index groups and PROP taster status (p>0.05). No significant differences were found on any habitual sweet food intake and dietary intake according to PROP taster status in both obese and non-obese participants (p>0.05). However, there was a significant difference (p<0.05) in fruit intake according to PROP taster status among obese participants. Conclusion: The findings suggest that PROP taster status does not play a role in nutrient intakes among obese and non-obese individuals
Community Structure, Regeneration Status and Tree Biomass of Shorea robusta Gaertn. in Charpala Community Forest, Rupandehi District, Central Nepal
Authors: Paneru Yagya Raj , Chalise Pratikshya
Published: July 2023

Sal is a multipurpose tropical tree that grows as the dominant plant species in Nepal’s lowlands. A comparative study of the Sal population structure was carried out in two blocks of Charpala Community Forest, Rupandehi. A total of 161 species of vascular plants, belonging to 135 genera and 69 families, were recorded, where Fabaceae (26 species) was the dominant family. Densities of Sal trees, saplings, and seedlings per hectare were 4000, 1945, and 742 respectively. A reverse J-shaped curve in the population structure of Block 1 indicated active natural regeneration. However, in Block 2, the lower densities of seedlings and saplings, and the higher densities of intermediate diameter classes indicated insufficient spontaneous regeneration. Average tree biomass and carbon stocks were 522.49 Mg/ha-1 and 245.57 Mg/ha-1, respectively. While Block 2 outperformed Block 1 in terms of tree density, carbon stock, and biomass, Block 1 had the higher density of seedlings and saplings, which improved the regeneration status of that site. Increased demand for lumber for construction has put existing Sal strands in Nepal under pressure. Therefore, a detailed study of its population makeup and natural renewal is crucial.

Published: July 2023

Shorea robusta, commonly known as Sal, is one of the multipurpose timber trees in Nepal. This study aims to carry out detailed anatomical investigation of the wood and leaf anatomical traits of Sal. The wood and leaf samples of Sal were collected from Rupandehi district, Nepal. Wood of Sal was found to be diffuse-porous and the vessels were mostly solitary or paired and sometimes in a short radial multiple. Non-septate, vasicentric fibres forming solid tracts connected the vessels and rays; vasicentric parenchyma with lozenge aliform to aliform confluent arrangement; moderately broad, multiseriate rays and the presence of prismatic crystals in rays were the characteristic feature of the wood. Leaves were hypostomatic and the stomata were cyclocytic with four or more subsidiary cells surrounding the guard cells. Stellate, glandular trichomes were present in upper epidermis, while unicellular, simple, glandular, tufted trichomes were present in the lower epidermis. The increase in global trade has resulted in over-exploitation of forest resources, and hence in the present context, the identification and traceability of wood is highly crucial. The outcomes of this study are supposed to help in the identification of wood of Sal through their anatomical study.
Demystifying a Miracle in the Movie-127 Hours
Authors: Chhetry Tek Bahadur
Published: July 2023

The desire to move as a part of an adventure, at the cost of life, simply serves for personal pleasure and self-complacency. However, the hero’s journey is not a linear path but a cyclic one and it inevitably comes across to face challenges and resistance that eventually nurtures him to grow with greater knowledge and wisdom. This paper, Danny Boyle directed movie- 127 Hours; based on true story of life, employs the Magic(al) Realism against the backdrop of Joseph Campbell’s concept of hero’s journey to examine how James Franco starred Aron Ralston, a common man of 27, undergoes a transformation of self-discovery for his ultimate survival, after five days of his unfailing struggle. The struggle was with the boulder that trapped his hand in the deep and distant Bluejohn Canyons of Utah in 2003 while canyoneering. Throughout the course of an ordeal, he regenerates his energy recalling the divine qualities of his son, mother, home, friends as well as his spouse, and resorts to the desperate measures of life. All the imagined reality comes to be true in his real life. Finally, Aron amputates his hand, escapes his fate from the inescapable, and eventually becomes an international icon, a story to be told to the rest of the world. The whole journey of the hero reflects the three stages in general as archetypes-departure, initiation and return, which is common in everyone’s life. The journey of Franco is a message of perseverance for the unfailing efforts as to reap success, instead of being helpless and hopeless while facing the boulder like obstacle, s and fighting the ordeal to ascertain one’s existence in life.

Introduction: This study aims to determine the relationship between vascular calcification, carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) and malnutrition with inflammatory parameters in dialysis patients.

Materials and Methods: 140 CKD patients and 44 healthy controls were included in the study. CIMT was measured by ultrasonography. Valvular calcification was assessed by echocardiography and vascular calcification scores (VCS) were done based on the radiograms. Biochemical parameters were assessed using routine laboratory methods. Subjective global assessment (SGA) was used to evaluate malnutrition.

Results: In the study, VCS showed no differences between hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients (1.84±2.35 for HD, 1.77±1.64 for PD; p:0.83). CIMT, Osteopontin (OPN), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and homocysteine were significantly different in both dialysis groups compared to healthy controls. The Mean carotid intima-media thickness (m-CIMT) was higher in HD patients compared to PD group. CIMT, vascular calcification and SGA scores showed positive correlation with age, dialysis duration and valvular calcification grades, and negative correlation with albumin levels. A positive correlation between SGA scores and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels was also noted. On multiple regression analysis, m-CIMT was independently associated with age, VCS and albumin levels. VCS was found to be independently associated with only albumin levels.

Conclusion: Vascular and valvular calcification, an indicator of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in dialysis patients, was found to be significantly associated with malnutrition. We found higher rates of valvular calcification in patients with vascular calcification. Malnutrition was more prominent in these patients.

Authors: Ігнатова Олена
Published: July 2023

Стаття присвячена аналізу впливів міжкультурної комунікації на інтеграційні процеси в освіті і культурі. Автор прагне проаналізувати сутність і причину популярності цього концепту в поточних публікаціях і низці освітніх директив. З початком нового століття, особливо за останні десять років, у міжкультурних дослідженнях з’явилася низка нових ідей і концепцій, що викликало бурхливі дискусії у професійному світі. Зусилля спроектувати нові, концептуальні й методологічні підходи в дослідженні міжкультурної комунікації були посилені як зовнішніми факторами, так і внутрішніми. З одного боку, вони виникли у відповідь на – глобальні, такі як національні – зміни ситуації та умови для міжкультурної комунікації. З іншого боку, вони були вираженням потреб переорієнтації в цій галузі досліджень, над якою працюють різні дисципліни і яка на межі століть, вочевидь, знаходилась на критичному етапі свого розвитку. У цій статті вперше зроблено спробу проаналізувати впливові підходи, які були представлені в концептуальних дискусіях щодо міжкультурних питань і певною мірою встановити нові тенденції, уважніше їх вивчити та піддати критичному аналізу. Розглянуто європейський досвід теоретизування питання і феномену міжкультурної комунікації. Визначено основні принципи і чинники ефективної міжкультурної комунікації. З’ясовано зміст поняття «толерантність» у контексті демократизації суспільства та визначено роль міжкультурної комунікації в цьому процесі. Виокремлено ознаки культури мовлення. Запропоновано стратегії формування навички міжкультурного діалогу. У центрі нашого інтересу – питання про те, що ми отримуємо від наукової дискусії і аналізу.
