Short stories of expanded lives: The augmented human in Edith Nesbit’s ‘The Five Senses’, Mary E. Braddon’s ‘Good Lady Ducayne’ and Clotilde Graves’s ‘Lady Clanbevan’s Baby’
Authors: Hardy Zoé
Published: May 2022

The ability for short fiction to address the issue of expansion might strike as a paradox. Yet at the turn of the nineteenth century, many fictional tales depicting augmented men or women were published in the form of short stories, dealing each in their own way with various scientific interventions altering, for better or worse, the health condition of their protagonists. Authors such as Edith Nesbit, Mary Elizabeth Braddon and Clotilde Graves – to name but a few – experimented with the limits of human and textual bodies alike. This intersection will be examined in three of these writers’ narratives: ‘The Five Senses’ (1909) by Nesbit, ‘Good Lady Ducayne’ (1896) by Braddon and ‘Lady Clanbevan’s Baby’ (1915) by Graves. As this article argues, brevity creates a favourable environment for a poetic of expansion to emerge in these texts, thus allowing for the development of imaginative and meaningful representations of bodily and intellectual improvement. To support this claim, I will posit that suggestion and selection, two by-products of the economy of signs which characterizes short literary forms, provided creative ways for the authors to shape and deliver augmented texts.
Walking with shadows: Writing trauma, short fiction and Jungian psychoanalysis
Authors: Newsome Rachel
Published: May 2022

A growing field at the intersection of literary and trauma studies makes the persuasive case for creative writing as a means to represent and process trauma across a range of genres from traditional memoir to hybrid and fictionalized approaches. Yet, despite this, how the specific qualities of short fiction can expand on existing modes remains theoretically underexplored. This article offers an intervention into the aforementioned field through an exploration into how the qualities of brevity and experiment that are associated with short fiction can be employed to mirror and synthesize aspects of the psychoanalyst Carl Jung’s ground-breaking work on the unconscious and his narrative approaches to processing trauma. First, this article presents the short story ‘Disappearing Act’, a hybrid of memoir and short fiction based on a personal traumatic experience of childhood abuse and informed by the Jungian concept of individuation (commonly referred to in contemporary psychoanalytic circles as shadow work). Second, it includes an accompanying critical reflection on the story’s creative process and the ways in which autobiographical short fiction can be employed as a mode of shadow work to demonstrate how the form operated as a creatively rich device to process traumatic life material for this writer.
‘Cat Person’: Essayism, virality and the digital future of short fiction
Authors: Tura Vecino Aleix
Published: May 2022

The digital revolution has brought back to the fore questions about the health of the short story. Short fiction scholars have for some time now been considering the possibilities that post-book and online spaces might open for the short story form and its popularity among readers. Despite this, when Kristen Roupenian’s New Yorker short story ‘Cat Person’ went viral late in 2017, critics of the genre paid virtually no attention to it. This article sets out to correct this on the premise that studying the ‘Cat Person’ phenomenon can help us refine our understanding of the behaviour and potential of short stories in digital spheres. It focuses, to explore this, on the fact that Roupenian’s text was received as an essay, rather than a short story, by many of its first readers, and accounts for this miscategorization in two different yet interlinked ways. First, it situates the piece in a tradition of women’s storytelling that has long been blurring the line between fiction and non-fiction. And second, it examines the reception of ‘Cat Person’ in the context of social media platforms that promote personal and reality-based modes of expression and communication. The article concludes by conceptualizing a connection between non-fictional interpretations of the story and its virality. Such link complicates accounts about the amenability of short fiction to online environments, suggesting that a story’s capacity to relinquish its identity as such and take on functions of the essay genre might play a key role in determining its performance online.

She also discusses her non-fiction as a method of dealing with trauma and feelings of vulnerability.
“Populismo”
Authors: Loureiro Luís Miguel , Pereira Rui , Babo Isabel
Published: May 2022

O presente trabalho visa discutir o chamado “populismo” num triplo ponto de vista. 1) O da sua descrição enquanto ponto de fratura na comunidade e no comum. 2) Através da sua racionalidade controversa e enquanto operação discursiva de rotulagem vazia. 3) E, por fim, apresentamos ilustrativamente um fragmento da lógica de retroalimentação entre media e populismo, tomando um exemplo da última campanha eleitoral presidencial em Portugal.
Populismo, desinformação e Covid-19
Authors: Penteado Claudio Luis de Camargo , Goya Denise Hideko , Dos Santos Patrícia Dias , Jardim Luiza
Published: May 2022

As plataformas digitais têm se configurado como terreno fértil para a propagação de discursos populistas e de desinformação. Neste contexto, o artigo tem como objetivo realizar um estudo da comunicação no Twitter de Jair Bolsonaro, Presidente do Brasil, durante a pandemia da Covid-19. Nesse período, o presidente brasileiro se posicionou contra as medidas de isolamento social e fez a defesa de medicamentos sem eficácia para o tratamento da Covid-19, o que gerou dificuldades para o combate da epidemia no país. Visando estudar as estratégias de comunicação adotadas por Bolsonaro durante o período inicial da pandemia, o estudo realizou uma análise em dois níveis: (i) análise de tópicos de todas as publicações no período; e (ii) análise de conteúdo das 100 mensagens mais retuitadas. Os resultados indicam que a estratégia de comunicação populista, evocando emoções de raiva e com porcentagem relevante de desinformação, produz os conteúdos que são mais compartilhados por seus seguidores.
Despolitização e populismo
Authors: Baptista Érica Anita , Hauber Gabriela , Orlandini Maiara
Published: May 2022

Distintos na liderança política, Donald Trump e Jair Bolsonaro se aproximam em um discurso populista. Este, quase como senso comum, trata de lideranças que defendem os interesses do povo e com uma disputa político-discursiva, colocando pessoas contra elites ou instituições. A migração das demandas do governo para as esferas privadas envolve o processo de despolitização e os discursos populistas despolitizam o debate público, naturalizando problemas sociais e isentando a responsabilidade da esfera pública. Nessa discussão, investigamos o processo de despolitização na retórica populista e os valores acionados. Analisamos as comunicações de Trump e Bolsonaro no Twitter, durante os períodos eleitorais. Realizamos uma análise qualitativa interpretativa para aferir sobre como a retórica populista e nacionalista aparecem nos discrusos de ambos e como isso influenciar a despolitização do debate público.
Lula e Bolsonaro populistas?
Authors: Rebouças Hébely da Silva , Costa Débora Silva , Silva Larissa Sousa , Gonçalves Janayde de Castro , Nascimento Adannick Fontes
Published: May 2022

A eleição de Jair Bolsonaro para a presidência do Brasil em 2019 e a volta do ex-presidente Lula ao cenário político eleitoral têm aquecido o debate sobre populismo tanto na literatura acadêmica como na imprensa. Interpretado ora como regime político, ora como tipo de discurso, de personalidade ou de relação entre governante e governados, o populismo tem ganhado múltiplos significados. Assim, é objetivo deste artigo investigar a aplicação do termo pelos jornais Folha de S. Paulo e O Estado de S. Paulo, analisando 41 editoriais que utilizam a noção de populismo em referência a Bolsonaro e Lula. A partir de técnicas de Análise de Conteúdo, o estudo revelou, dentre outros aspectos, que, diferentemente da Folha, o Estadão utiliza mais vezes o conceito de populismo, referindo-se sobretudo a um estilo pessoal/político, além de evocar bem mais a figura de Lula como populista. O termo aparece com carga negativa em ambos os jornais, distanciando-se de uma visão acadêmica mais neutra e sendo explorado como arena de disputas entre a imprensa e os dois líderes políticos.
Populismo Autoritário e Meio Ambiente no Brasil
Authors: Araújo Bruno , Campos Fernanda Safira Soares
Published: May 2022

Ao discutir a chave populismo/meio ambiente, este estudo analisa como a cobertura editorial de jornais nacionais e internacionais enquadram a política ambiental do Governo Bolsonaro. Partindo da discussão de populismo autoritário, a partir de Pippa Norris e Ronald Inglehart (2016), busca-se identificar em que medida os jornais recorrem a categorias do populismo para interpretar as ações do governo Bolsonaro na área ambiental. Metodologicamente, recorre-se à Teoria do Enquadramento em conjunto com a análise lexical dos textos, com auxílio do software Iramuteq, para o mapeamento dos principais núcleos de sentido presentes nos editoriais.
Ragusa (Dubrovnik) en las redes comerciales del Mediterráneo Occidental: los negocios de la compañía Torralba (s. XV)
Authors: López Pérez María Dolores , Casado Novas Iván , Marí Brull Gerard , Álvaro Rueda Karen
Published: May 2022

Este artículo se centra en el análisis de las redes comerciales diseñadas por una sociedad catalana del siglo XV, la compañía Torralba, considerando como observatorio de análisis la ciudad de Ragusa. El objetivo es exponer las claves que sustentan nuestra hipótesis sobre el creciente papel ejercido por esta plaza, en principio secundaria, dentro de las estrategias de negocio de la compañía y de la construcción de espacios de comercialización de la lana de procedencia aragonesa. Un crecimiento en el cual jugarán un papel fundamental las redes clientelares entretejidas por Joan de Torralba, director de la sede barcelonesa, y que favorecerán la introducción de la sociedad en el mercado raguseo. Si bien los operadores de la Corona de Aragón se vieron precedidos por los italianos, sobre todo los toscanos, el intenso desarrollo de la industria textil de Ragusa a partir de la década de 1420 actuará como factor coadyuvante en los intereses mercantiles manifestados por la compañía. Como base documental se han utilizado las informaciones procuradas por los libros de contabilidad que se conservan en el “Arxiu Nacional de Catalunya” en Sant Cugat del Vallés. Los datos contenidos en los registros contables han posibilitado la reconstrucción de los viajes realizados desde Tortosa o Barcelona con destino a Ragusa entre 1434 y 1458 ‒fecha de inicio del primero de los manuales conservado y la defunción de Joan de Torralba‒, así como un análisis de los sistemas de gestión utilizados por la sociedad.

Devoción, propiedad y posición social. En torno a una capellanía: Albacete, 1486
Authors: Ayllón Gutiérrez Carlos
Published: May 2022

El artículo analiza las circunstancias que rodean la creación de la capellanía fundada en la villa de Albacete a finales de la Edad Media por María Gómez de Molina, revisa la taxonomía de este tipo de fundaciones y ofrece un modelo de análisis de las mismas. Todo ello permite verificar no sólo los pormenores de los oficios religiosos relacionados con la fundación y algunos aspectos relativos a la mentalidad de la época, sino también la estructura económica de la comarca, las relaciones intrafamiliares y la posición de los fundadores en la sociedad marco. Como principal aportación, este estudio revela cómo una fundación piadosa nos permite trascender los aspectos de espiritualidad y conocer la naturaleza de los bienes inmuebles urbanos de una población del bajo Medievo y las explotaciones agrarias a través del análisis de los bienes vinculados a la capellanía. Asimismo, se evidencia que la creación del culto refuerza las relaciones entre el linaje promotor y la Iglesia, genera oficios clericales, acrecienta la fisionomía parroquial y genera vínculos mercantiles en torno a la provisión de la capilla, contribuyendo a la vitalidad material de la población. Así, se configura todo un conglomerado de relaciones económicas y sociales que trascienden el mero contrato entre la Iglesia y los fundadores, como es común en las poblaciones castellanas del bajo Medievo y de toda la Edad Moderna. De este modo se subraya la importancia del análisis de las capellanías para los estudios sociales de la población y al mismo tiempo se justifica la investigación de este tipo de fundaciones como medio para un mejor conocimiento de la propiedad de la tierra en la Castilla de los Reyes Católicos. Con este trabajo se aportan, pues, elementos inéditos para un mejor conocimiento de la realidad material de una villa en proceso de incuestionable progreso.

Success in animal skin fashion in African countries or the boom of the wet market
Authors: Mkhonza Andile Ephraim , Molefe Keitiretse , Ramafoko Odirile Thato Lebogang
Published: May 2022

The world and the way things are done have changed, from selling clothing in brick-and-mortar stores to online shopping through social media platforms. Population growth has significantly contributed to an increased clothing demand, which, in turn, has increased the demand for animal skin. Traditional markets, also known as wet markets, are considered as major zoonotic disease reservoirs due to human and animal contact. Some groups and individuals continue to believe in traditional medicine and clothing that is made from animal skin, and such beliefs are more accessible with the presence of wet markets. Hence, animal poaching and trafficking have increased to meet the high demands, primarily in the Western world. Poverty is a well-known motivation to commit a crime. Conservationists should not only look at the animal regulation site to propose a solution to animal poaching and trafficking but should also consider communal poverty. Thus, this review aimed to highlight the role of wet market and animal skin fashion on animal welfare and human health.
The German Exile Literature and the Early Novels of Iris Murdoch
Authors: Szőke Dávid Sándor
Published: May 2022

Szőke Dávid Sándor dolgozata összehasonlító elemzésben vizsgálja a német száműzött irodalom és Iris Murdoch angol írónő és filozófus korai regényeinek kölcsönviszonyait. A dolgozat részletesen elemzi a kérdést, hogy a Murdoch regényvilágában központ szerepet betöltő trauma, múltfeldolgozás, emlékezet és a számkivetettség problémáit hogyan árnyalták az írónő három német ajkú száműzött szerzővel, a Nobel-díjas Elias Canettivel, az antropológus és költő Franz Baermann Steinerrel, valamint a regényíró és holokauszt-túlélő H.G. Adlerrel való szellemi találkozásai. Jelen munka e három szerző irodalmi és tudományos műveit, egymáshoz írt leveleit és naplófeljegyzéseit állítja párhuzamba Murdoch öt korai regényével, A háló alatt (1954), a Menekülés a varázslótól (1956), A levágott fej (1961), Az olasz lánnyal (1964) és A szép és a jó (1968) című művekkel, választ keresve a kérdésre, hogy a második világháború és a holokauszt etikai problémái hogyan lelhetők fel a közvetlenül 1945 után írt angol regényben.
Az oktatási reziliencia többszempontú vizsgálata 4. és 6. évfolyamos tanulók körében
Authors: Szabó Dóra Fanni
Published: May 2022

A disszertáció az oktatási reziliencia jelenségére fókuszál, azáltal, hogy a hátrányos helyzetű diákok tanulmányi sikereit állítja középpontba. Tágan értelmezett célunk a jelenség kialakulásához hozzájáruló protektív tényezőkről való hazai ismeretek bővítése volt. Emellett egy olyan többszempontú, a reziliens tanulók azonosítását sokrétűen lefedő megközelítés kialakítását és kipróbálását is célul tűztük ki, amelyet a jelenség értelmezésében, illetve a reziliens tanulók azonosításának módszertanában való inkonzisztencia hívott életre (pl. Lerner, 2006). Mivel a megközelítésünknek megfelelő mérőeszközt nem találtunk, ezért egy tanulói kérdőív szerkesztése és alkalmazhatóságának vizsgálata is a kutatásunk részét képezte. Hazai kontextusban gyűjtöttünk információt egyéni és környezeti tényezők jelentőségéről 4. és 6. évfolyamos tanulók körében (N=1446). A kutatás során kialakított Iskolai rugalmasság kérdőív alskálái megbízhatóan alkalmazhatóak voltak a minta jellemzőinek vizsgálatára. A reziliens tanulók aránya a teljes adatmennyiséghez viszonyítottan 3,4%-tól 5,8%-ig terjedt. A legmagasabb a természettudomány tantárgyhoz kapcsolódó elégedettség esetén adódott, a legalacsonyabb a matematikai tanulmányi énkép esetében. A kutatásunkba bevont faktorok sajátosságaival és az azonosítási eljárásokkal kapcsolatban is következtetéseket alakítottunk ki, azáltal, hogy vizsgáltuk a reziliens és nem reziliens tanulók közötti különbségeket. Az összesen 210 darab kétmintás t-próba 72,86%-a, összesen 153 próba eredménye volt szignifikáns. Vagyis az esetek túlnyomó többségében jelentős különbség volt a reziliens alminták között. Elmondható, hogy a legtöbb szignifikáns próba az iskolai önhatékonyság, az iskolai motiváció és az önszabályozó tanulás nyomon követés fázisa esetében jött létre. Tehát a reziliens tanulók jelentősen magasabb iskolai énhatékonysággal jellemzik magukat, motiváltabbak az iskolai feladatok elvégzésére és a tanulási folyamat ellenőrzésére. Eredményeink felhívják a figyelmet előfeltevésünk helytállóságára. A szakirodalom feltárásakor a módszertani szempontok mentén történő eredményértelmezés hozzájárulhat ahhoz, hogy a megfelelő célcsoportokra vonatkoztatva vonjuk le következtetéseket a kutatásokból. A létrejövő Iskolai rugalmasság kérdőív továbbfejlesztésén keresztül az iskolai mindennapokban is alkalmazható mérőeszköz jöhet létre. A reziliens tanulók vizsgálata az iskolai sikeresség szempontjából lényeges egyéni és környezeti protektív tényezőkre világít rá, melyek fejlesztése hozzájárulhat a leszakadó társadalmi rétegekből kikerülő gyermekek felzárkóztatásához.
A peremvidék poétikája és politikája
Authors: Ternovácz Dániel
Published: May 2022

A disszertáció Böndör Pál és Sziveri János munkásságának a komplex elemzésére vállalkozik. Az elméleti háttér magába foglalja a déli szláv-magyar irodalmi kapcsolatokat vizsgáló komparatisztikát, az aktuális magyar és nemzetközi műfajkritikát, valamint a vajdasági magyar irodalomtörténetet és irodalomelméletet. A vizsgálódás kronologikusan halad végig a két lezárult életművön: az 1960-as évek végétől 2020-ig íródott Böndör-opuszon, valamint az 1970-es évektől induló és 1990-ben lezárult Sziveri-költészeten. Böndör Pál műveinek monografikus feldolgozására még nem került sor. Sziveri János szélesebb befogadással bír, ezzel együtt a 2010-es években kialakult polémiák, a tisztázatlan kérdések, a kultusz mögött homályba szorult poétikai teljesítmény és az új kiadások megalapozottá tették az újabb reflexiót, a diskurzus kibővítését. Böndör Pál és Sziveri János recepciójának gazdagításával a két költőnek a magyar kánonban elfoglalt periferikus pozíciója módosulhat, új színben tűnhet fel. A tervezetben foglalt elméleti keret továbbá új perspektívát adhat a határokon átnyúló kulturális hatásviszonyok értelmezéséhez és értékeléséhez.
Online assessment and development of morphological awareness and reading comprehension in grades 2-4
Authors: Varga Szilvia
Published: May 2022

A jelen értekezés az olvasási képességek és a szövegértés elsajátításának nyelvészeti aspektusához kíván hozzájárulni. A tanulási képességek nagyban függnek az információk megértésének képességétől (Csapó, 2015). A szövegértés folyamatait vizsgáltuk az általános iskola 2-4. osztályában, hogy bepillantást nyerjünk a morfológiai tudatosság és a szövegértés kapcsolatának összefüggéseibe. A morfológiai tudatosság a gyermekek azon képessége, amelynek segítségével képesek a szavak szerkezetét megérteni és a szavak morfémáival különböző műveleteket végezni (Kuo & Anderson, 2006). A morfológiai tudatosság a későbbi szövegértési képesség várható eredményességének előjelzője, így a fejlesztés, tanítás szempontjából értékes diagnosztikus eredmény, befolyásolhatja az egyénre szabott fejlesztést, tanítást. A kutatás elsődleges célja az volt, hogy online mérőeszközt hozzunk létre, amely a morfológiai tudatosságot méri az általános iskola 2-4. osztályában. A dolgozat elméleti és empirikus részből áll. Az elméleti fejezetekben áttekintjük a kutatáshoz kapcsolódó szakirodalmi hátteret, az empirikus rész a próbamérés és a nagymintás mérés eredményeit tartalmazza. A kutatás főbb hipotézisei a következők voltak: a mérőeszköz pszichometriai jellemzői elfogadhatóak. Közepes erősségű kapcsolatot fogunk találni a morfológiai tudatosság és a szövegértés között. Különbségek fognak mutatkozni a fiúk és a lányok teljesítménye között. Az olvasási attitűdök hatása kimutatható lesz mind a morfológiai tudatosság mind a szövegértési teljesítményekre vonatkozóan. A próbamérés (N=356) célja a nagymintás mérés előkészítése volt. Az előzetes eredmények alapján a 4 dimenziós mérőeszköz jól működött, de még megbízhatóbbá, precízebbé kellett tenni és a fejlődési tendenciákat alaposabban megvizsgálni. A nagymintás mérés (N=4134) során a morfológiai tudatosság, a szövegértés és az olvasási motiváció lehetséges kapcsolataira is igyekeztünk rávilágítani. Az 5 dimenziós mérőeszköz (59 item) szövegértési tesztet (10 item), olvasási motivációs kérdőívet (10 kérdés) tartalmazott. Kutatásunk főbb eredményeit 4 pontban foglalhatjuk össze: (1) létrehoztunk egy online mérőeszközt, amely a morfológiai tudatosságot megbízhatóan méri az általános iskola 2-4. évfolyamán; (2) a morfológiai tudatosság és a szövegértési képességek összefüggéseit bizonyítottuk és jellemzőit elemeztük; (3) kimutattuk és elemeztük a konstruktumok fejlődését a 2-4. évfolyamon; (4) az olvasási motiváció, a morfológiai tudatosság és a szövegértési képességek közötti összefüggéseket kimutattuk. Kutatásunk újszerű volt, mert hazánkban empirikusan kevésbé vizsgált konstruktumot (morfológiai tudatosság) innovativ módszerekkel (online mérőeszköz) tanulmányozta, eredményeink több későbbi kutatás számára nyújthatnak támpontot, valamint az osztálytermi gyakorlatban is alkalmazhatók.
A szegedi boszorkányperek (1726-1744) jegyzői
Authors: Berente Anikó
Published: May 2022

Az értekezés az 1726 és 1744 között keletkezett szegedi boszorkányperes ügyeket rögzítő jogi-közigazgatási dokumentumok történeti dialektológiai és szociolingvisztikai vizsgálatát mutatja be. Mivel a boszorkányperek szövegei beszélt nyelven alapulónak vagy beszélt nyelvhez kapcsolódónak tekinthetők, így a történeti anyag a tanúk nyelvhasználatán kívül adatokat szolgáltathat a jegyzők tanult nyelvéről, a regionális normáról, az írnokok anyanyelvjárásáról is. Vizsgálható a dokumentumokban továbbá a tanúk anyanyelve, kétnyelvűsége, a további személyekre, illetve a nyelvi környezetre vonatkozó információk, a szociolingvisztikai változók, a területi nyelvváltozatok. Az elemzés egyik fő hozadéka, hogy a korpusz részletes vizsgálatával hozzájárul a 18. századi nyelvhasználat egy szegmensének leírásához, ugyanis az említett időszak nyelvi feltárása még hiányosnak tekinthető. A nyelvi leírás támpontot nyújthat a jövőbeli kutatások számára, egyfajta fogódzót biztosítva a történeti anyagokkal kapcsolatban, hiszen így nemcsak a jelenkori sztenderd nyelvváltozatra vagy egy bizonyos nyelvjárás jellemzésére lehet támaszkodni. Mindemellett az értekezés a nyelvi elemzésen túl a felhasznált forrás betűhű szövegközlését is tartalmazza (Függelék). A dolgozat arra is rávilágít, hogy a periratok rendkívül összetettek, és pl. nemcsak a tanúvallomások tartalmi és nyelvi megformáltsága vizsgálható bennük, hanem a történeti dialektológia és történeti szociolingvisztika számára is értékes megállapítások tehetők. Mindemellett azt is figyelembe kell venni, hogy a korszakban már spontán sztenderdizációs törekvések is feltételezhetők, így arról is következtetések vonhatók le, hogy a különböző változatok a sztenderdizációs folyamatban milyen szerepet töltöttek be. A nyelvészeti vizsgálat főbb céljai a következőképpen foglalhatók össze: 1. A lejegyző kezek elkülönítése paleográfiai és nyelvi szempontok alapján; 2. Az adatok alapján következtetések levonása a lejegyző kezek anyanyelvjárására vonatkozóan; 3. A több írnok esetében is jellemző nyelvi jelenségek, jegyek meghatározása; 4. A tanúk, vádlottak nyelvhasználatának vizsgálata. A dolgozatban 14 lejegyző kezet különítettem el, jellemzésüket minden esetben azonos séma alapján adtam meg (hangjelölés, helyesírás, rövidítések, elválasztás, javítások, illetve nyelvjárási kép). Az adatok fényében megkíséreltem behatárolni a jegyzők anyanyelvjárási régióját, kitérve arra is, ha felmerült a lehetősége, hogy egy-egy esetben talán a tanú/vádlott nyelvhasználatára utaló elemről van szó (3–4. fejezet). A dolgozat harmadik céljának megfelelően azt térképeztem fel, hogy mely szuffixumok és lexémák azonos változatai azok, amelyek több jegyzőnél is megtalálhatóak, melyek képezhették az írnoki norma részét (5. fejezet). A 6. fejezet a fogalmazványok és a másolati/tisztázati példányok összehasonlítását tartalmazza, amely alapján azt igyekeztem bemutatni, hogy milyen lehetett a jegyzők normafelfogása.

Introduction:

No reports on both blood and fecal bile acids (BAs) in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) exist. We simultaneously assessed the serum and fecal BA patterns in healthy participants and those with NAFLD.

Methods:

We collected stools samples from 287 participants from 5 hospitals in Japan, (healthy control [HC]: n = 88, mild fibrosis: n = 104, advanced fibrosis group: n = 95). Blood samples were collected and analyzed for serum BAs and 7α-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one (C4)—a surrogate marker for BA synthesis ability—from 141 patients. Concentrations of BAs, including cholic acid (CA), deoxycholic acid (DCA), chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), and lithocholic acid (LCA), were measured using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Results:

Total fecal BA concentration was significantly higher in the NAFLD group with worsening of fibrosis than in the HC group. Most of the fecal BAs were secondary and unconjugated. In the fecal BA fraction, CA, DCA, CDCA, UDCA, and LCA were significantly higher in the NAFLD than in the HC group. The total serum BA concentration was higher in the NAFLD group with worsening of fibrosis than in the HC group. In the serum BA fraction, CA, LCA, and C4 concentrations were significantly higher in the NAFLD than in the HC group.

Discussion:

Fecal and serum BA and C4 concentrations were high in patients with NAFLD with worsening of fibrosis, suggesting involvement of abnormal BA metabolism in NAFLD with fibrosis progression. Abnormalities in BA metabolism may be a therapeutic target in NAFLD with fibrosis.

Global participation in international education in the last two decades has increased exponentially.International students face difficulties in adjusting to the culture of their host country due to their unique needs (Bertram, Poulakis, Elsasser & Kumar, 2014). This article presents themes comprising the international education phenomenon involving the experiences of East Asian international students in English-speaking countries. The literature reviewed for this article pertains to many aspects of international education, covering the factors that influence the decision to embark on the international education journey to the adjustment experienced by students to the host culture. The authors suggest that the international education experience is comprised of four dimensions: structural, linguistic, internal, and external. We also posit that Confucianism, which many East Asian students follow, influences not only the psycho-social dimension of the international education experience but also their instructional preferences within the structural dimension. We further contend that students’ actual and perceived proficiency (or the lack thereof) in the host country’s language greatly shapes all aspects of thestudent’s international education experience, which then determines the degree of acculturative stress involved and plays a key role in each of the three dimensions. Because of the anticipated continued growth in the number of international students from EastAsia attending higher education institutions in English-speaking countries such as the United States, Australia, Canada, and parts of Africa, it is important to examine how each of the dimensions proposed impact each other. Approaching the study of the international education experience one dimension at a time, as many scholars have done, does not completely address all of the unique needs of international students. We suggest that research in this area be conducted holistically by exploring the ecology surrounding the international student. Taking this ecological approach will help clearly definethe role that home and host countries and host higher education institutions must take in serving theinternational students well.

Published: May 2022

The COVID-19 outbreak has generated new challenges for employees in terms of change adaptation, engagement, and job stability, with well-being and satisfaction suffering significantly as a result that has been supported with the literature as well as Kahn's Theory and Motivation Hygiene Theory. This is to examine the relationship between colleague and supervisor support and the level of engagement during the COVID-19 outbreak in an emerging market. The suggested conceptual model explores the impact of colleague and supervisor support on individual engagement level, including interaction, psychological contact, and motivation level. The influence of colleague and supervisor support on the components evaluated in terms of engagement level varies. The focus of this research is to add to the existing discussion on the influence of the Covid19 outbreak on employee engagement in Selangor. This study will examine the influence factor of colleague support and supervisor support, with the author concluding that these factors are the subordinate element towards employee engagement in the workplace. This study, on the other hand, employs the quantitative method. This research also contributes to the human resources literature by demonstrating how, during a worldwide pandemic, concentrating on people can improve organisational competitiveness.
The Association of Satisfaction Level with Vascular Accesses and Adherence to Treatment among Haemodialysis Patients in Malaysia
Authors: Jeemaun Jamizan
Published: May 2022

Introduction: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis has shown an increasing trend in Malaysia. Vascular access (VA) dysfunction is among the primary reasons behind morbidity and mortality among ESRD patients. VA dysfunction exits in all three (3) types of available access: arteriovenous graft (AVG), arteriovenous fistula (AVF), and central venous catheter (CVC). In Malaysia, among the largest causes and the issues of failure in hemodialysis (HD) treatment is the lack of good vascular access (VA). The purpose of this study is to identify the level of satisfaction and the association of HD vascular access with adherence to treatment among hemodialysis patients. Methodology: This quantitative cross-sectional and observational study included 118 ESRD patients among selected Private Hospital in Malaysia. Comparison between access satisfaction and adherence across access type. One way ANOVA was conducted to see the mean difference between the three types of vascular access. Finding: The results shows, AVF was used by 52.3%, AVG by 27.9%, and CVC by 18.6% from overall patients. A one Way ANOVA shows a significant difference in satisfaction between the three types of vascular access with lowest mean score (showing highest satisfaction) in patients with AVG, and then followed by AVF, and CVC (27.84 vs 31.66 vs 44.29; P =.001). Conclusion: The findings of the study have shown that, patients with AVG access type experienced high satisfaction and high adherence to treatment among hemodialysis patients. Compared to the AVF, AVG have greatest advantages such as AVG suitable for patent’s with small or weak vein, especially among the diabetic patients.

Dyslexia children experience disorders that can affect their ability to read, write or spell. These disorders occur throughout life, resulting in their lives not being in line with typical children. Therefore, this study aims to explore the latest issues and status related to dyslexia based on parents and preschool teachers' views. A qualitative design using a semi-structured interview protocol was used in this study. Five parents who have children in preschool and six preschool teachers throughout Selangor were purposively sampled as research participants. Findings revealed three issues and three current statuses related to parents and preschool teachers' perceptions of dyslexia. The issues are (1) confused with the definition of dyslexia, (2) lack of knowledge about dyslexia, and (3) difficulty identifying preschool children at risk for dyslexia. Meanwhile, the latest statuses are (1) lack of exposure among parents and preschool teachers’ to dyslexia, (2) the increasing psychosocial challenges of parents, teachers and children with dyslexia and last is (3) the need for early detection of dyslexia instruments in preschool. This study shows that parents and preschool teachers have misperceptions of dyslexia. Majority of preschool children going undiagnosed. Interventions are so important, early detection needs to provide well-being to these children's lives in the future.

Transitioning as a language act

“The world is but a perpetual see-saw. […] I cannot fix my subject. He
is always restless, and reels with a natural intoxication. I catch him here,
as he is at the moment when I turn my attention to him. I do not portray his
being; I portray his passage; not a passage from one age to another […] but
from day to day, from minute to minute. I must suit my story to the hour,
for soon I may change, not only by chance but also by intention” (Montaigne,
1588/1958, On Repentance, Essays III, 2, p. 235). This musing on perpetual

century seems to capture, across time, the new mindset that Covid-19 has
engendered in all of us...
Metacognitive awareness in L2 listening: a transition from doing
listening to teaching it
Authors: Toapanta Jesús
Published: May 2022

Second language listening (L2 listening) is taken for granted in the
language classroom. The time allocated to it is often minimal, and it does
not always aim at developing listening skills. It serves other purposes,
such as testing comprehension and/or introducing a different activity.
Graham (2017) noted that L2 listening is done in the language classroom, but
it is not always taught. This paper shows that it is relatively
uncomplicated to teach learners how to listen in the language classroom. It
presents the results of an intervention study that incorporated guided
discussions and reflections into an activity that consisted of playing an
audio recording and answering comprehension questions. The results support
previous findings regarding the effectiveness of guided discussions and
reflections in developing listening skills (Goh & Taib, 2006) and show
that it is possible to help learners address L2 listening more
strategically.
From face-to-face to online in foreign language teaching: an outstanding
experience
Authors: Rodríguez Oitavén Cristina
Published: May 2022

In December 2019, the University of Oxford Language Centre started to
offer online courses in French, Spanish, and German at an advanced level.
This not only enabled the Language Centre to pilot a new way of Modern
Foreign Language (MFL) teaching ahead of the unprecedented 2020 health
crisis, but also to open and expand ‘Oxford to the world’. The aim of this
chapter is to provide an overview of this innovative online teaching project
based on the implementation of a two-hour weekly asynchronous teaching
schedule through carefully designed ‘learning pathways’. These focused on an
interactive multimodal learning environment, which included discussions,
grammar quizzes, and videos. This project confirmed the initial hypothesis
that asynchronous teaching was the best method for students with different
language competencies and learning styles as they were not time-bound and
were able to work at their own pace.

Objective The basal ganglia (BG) are susceptible to fluctuations in blood urea levels, sometimes resulting in movement disorders. We described patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) presenting with movement disorders associated with bilateral BG lesions on imaging.Methods We report four patients and systematically reviewed all published cases of ESKD presenting with movement disorders and bilateral BG lesions (EBSCOhost and Ovid).Results Of the 72 patients identified, 55 (76.4%) were on regular dialysis. Parkinsonism was the most common movement disorder (n = 39; 54.2%), followed by chorea (n = 24; 33.3%). Diabetes mellitus (n = 51; 70.8%) and hypertension (n = 16; 22.2%) were the most common risk factors. Forty-three (59.7%) were of Asian ethnicity. Complete clinical resolution was reported in 17 (30.9%) patients, while 38 (69.1%) had incomplete clinical resolution with relapse. Complete radiological resolution occurred in 14 (34.1%) patients.Conclusion Movement disorders associated with BG lesions should be recognized as a rare and potentially reversible metabolic movement disorder in patients with ESKD.
Improvement of the Constructive A Priori Error Estimates for a Fully Discretized Periodic Solution of Heat Equation
Authors: Kimura Takuma , Minamoto Teruya , Nakao Mitsuhiro T.
Published: May 2022

In this study, we present new sharper constructive a priori error estimates for a full-discrete numerical solution of the heat equation that refines our previous work. The full discretization is given using the finite element method in space and linear interpolation in time, similar to that in the previous work. In particular, we adopt an approach based on the effective use of the properties both for exact and discretized time-periodic solutions to establish the error estimates simpler and sharper than the previous work. Furthermore, we derive some time-stepwise error estimates in the space direction. Finally, we present several numerical examples that confirm the actual refinements of the convergence.
Follow the Leader? A Comparative Law Study of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation’s Impact in Latin America
Authors: Carrillo Arturo J , Jackson Matías
Published: May 2022

In May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) entered into force in the European Union. As is widely recognized, its impact goes beyond the borders of the old continent, permeating through the regulatory processes of countries all over the world. Nowhere is this more evident than in Latin America, where governments have long emulated European data protection standards. Professor Anu Bradford has famously characterized this phenomenon as a prominent example of ‘the Brussels Effect,’ defined as Europe’s unilateral power to regulate global markets. Other scholars see a more complex dynamic at play. This is especially true in the data privacy context in which the EU has benefited from a highly transplantable legal model and normative innovations that have proved successful in a global marketplace of ideas. This Article joins the debate around the EU’s transnational influence on the regulation of personal data by evaluating the de jure impact that the GDPR has had in Latin America to date. To this end, the Article addresses three main questions. First, what is the panorama of data privacy legislation across Latin America since the 2016 adoption of the GDPR? Second, how have those countries in the region that have moved first to reform or enact data privacy legislation in light of the GDPR’s key innovations done so? And finally, what lessons can be learned from the Latin American experience based on the responses to these questions? In responding, the Article looks first at which countries in the region have introduced or proposed changes to their legislation in the wake of the GDPR’s enactment in 2016. It then evaluates the experience of key jurisdictions in greater detail, namely Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Uruguay, to determine what lessons can be drawn from their efforts. By pursuing these inquiries, the authors shed new light on the debate surrounding the nature of the de jure dimension of ‘the Brussels Effect’ in the region.
