Pronunciation of consonant clusters in Spanish speakers based on the Czech read speech corpora
Authors: Pugachova Kateřina , Veroňková Jitka
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study was to determine which Czech consonant clusters are difficult to pronounce for Spanish speakers, and identify the sound changes that are more frequent due to the difference in syllable structure between these two languages. A set of 26 consonant clusters in initial, medial and final word positions was selected. The 75 words containing the target clusters were included in a coherent text written in Czech (838 words long). Then, the speech of 13 Spanish speakers reading this text was recorded. Based on perceptual analysis, 27% of clusters were pronounced incorrectly. The number of correct items among the cluster types and within the types varied considerably. Substitution, elision and prothesis represented almost 90% of all the sound changes. Substitution, being the most dominant, affected all studied consonant cluster types. El propósito de este estudio fue determinar qué grupo de consonantes checas son difíciles de pronunciar para los hispanohablantes e identificar los cambios de sonido que son más frecuentes, debido a la diferencia en la estructura de las sílabas entre estos dos idiomas. Se seleccionó un conjunto de 26 grupos de consonantes en las posiciones inicial, media y final de la palabra. Las 75 palabras que contenían los grupos de consonantes estudiados se incluyeron en un texto coherente escrito en checo (con 838 palabras en total). Luego, se grabó el discurso de 13 hispanohablantes que leían este texto y se realizó un análisis perceptivo. El 27% de los grupos de consonantes se han pronunciado incorrectamente. El número de grupos de consonantes pronunciados correctamente varió mucho entre los tipos de agrupaciones e incluso dentro de las propias agrupaciones. La sustitución, elisión y prótesis representaron casi el 90% de todos los cambios de sonido. La sustitución, que fue la más dominante, afectó a todos los tipos de grupos de consonantes estudiados.
Use of Bayesian networks for the analysis of corpus of local problems related to the Sustainable Development Goals
Authors: Llerena García Ernesto , Piñeres Manuel Caro
Published: September 2023

Bayesian networks are a widely used formalism for data analysis, modelling, and decision support in various domains. Currently, there is a need for techniques and tools that automatically build Bayesian networks from massive text or literature data. Collecting people’s perception of the problems they face in their daily lives generates a great deal of textual information. Textual descriptions increase as new data collections are made. Due to the lexical differences between different regions of a country, it is necessary to constantly update the new modelled data. Las redes bayesianas son un formalismo ampliamente utilizado para el análisis de datos, el modelado y el apoyo a la toma de decisiones en varios dominios. Actualmente, existe la necesidad de técnicas y herramientas que construyan automáticamente redes bayesianas a partir de textos masivos o datos bibliográficos. La recopilación de la percepción de las personas sobre los problemas que enfrentan en su vida diaria genera una gran cantidad de información textual. Las descripciones textuales aumentan a medida que se realizan nuevas recopilaciones de datos. Debido a las diferencias léxicas entre las diferentes regiones de un país, es necesario actualizar constantemente los nuevos datos modelados.

This chapter presents a free software program that can be used for POS tagging in a multiplicity of languages that do not have automatic taggers. The program aims to facilitate the work with corpora in these languages through Natural Language Processing. Its operation allows the manual tagging process to be gradually automated thanks to a system that makes it possible to recall and reuse tags, as well as to handle large amounts of text and to generate output files in XML format with tags based on the EAGLES system. En este capítulo se presenta un software libre que puede utilizarse para el etiquetado de POS en una multiplicidad de lenguas que no cuentan con etiquetadores automáticos. El programa busca facilitar el trabajo con corpus en estas lenguas a través de la lingüística computacional. Su funcionamiento permite que el proceso manual de etiquetado se convierta poco a poco en automático gracias a un sistema que permite recordar y reutilizar las etiquetas, de la misma manera en que permite manejar grandes cantidades de textos y generar archivos de salida en formato XML con etiquetas basadas en el sistema EAGLES.
COMPRESSED AND IMPLICIT SYNTACTIC FEATURES OF L2 ENGLISH ACADEMIC RESEARCH WRITING BY FILIPINO RESEARCH WRITERS ACROSS DISCIPLINES: A CROSS-ANALYSIS
Authors: Hernandez Hjalmar Punla
Published: September 2023

Compressed and implicit nominal phrases as syntactic features of academic writing (Biber & Gray, 2010, 2016) are underexplored in L2 academic research writing. In this study, I cross-examined attributive adjectives, nominal prepositional phrases, noun premodifiers, and appositive nouns phrases in qualitative and quantitative research articles (RAs) authored by Filipino research writers (FRWs) across Applied Linguistics, Measurement and Evaluation, and Sociology using Biber, Johansson et al.’s (1999, 2021) framework. Major results revealed that attributive adjectives, nominal prepositional phrases, and noun premodifiers extremely co-occurred across the disciplinary RA sub-registers. A significant difference exists between the three nominal phrases and appositive noun phrases. Nonetheless, their frequencies of use also differed in RA sub-registers across disciplines. In conclusion, the three leading embedded phrasal modifiers are universal and the most functional compressed and implicit syntactic features of the five disciplinary RA sub-registers. FRWs employ the three nominal phrases as they are much more flexible than appositive noun phrases. Overall, they characterize L2 academic research writing and make it a highly nominal academic written discourse regardless of its disciplinary origin and research nature. In line with these, the study’s implications for academic writing pedagogy are emphasized.
EXPLORING THE FLEXIBILITY OF ESP MATERIALS THROUGH THE IPO MODEL: CORPUS AND CONSUMER INSIGHTS FROM THE TURKISH EFL CONTEXT
Authors: Simsek Meliha R.
Published: September 2023

Unlike previous research, which tended to exclusively conduct expert/user evaluation and rely heavily on subjective survey data for simply ascertaining general satisfaction with a fixed predetermined set of coursebook features, this multimethod study sought to provide a holistic, multidimensional and thus more realistic assessment of coursebook performance through conflating objective information on its compositionality with reflective user knowledge about the actual functioning. Therefore, we used the inputs-processes-outcomes (IPO) model for the deconstruction of a global coursebook in dental English, based the expert review on corpus findings and complemented it with the less-studied student-users’ (87 sophomores from a Turkish-medium dental school of a large urban public university) retrospective evaluation against preferred criteria. The corpus-based IPO analysis of the coursebook (non-)texts and content analysis of their post-use reflections revealed that the students, with a mildly positive orientation, were more concerned with: the scope of content-knowledge, visuality and text quality presented by the inputs; amount and nature of language practice, opportunities for oral fluency development and independent learning, and also acquisition of disciplinary vocabulary triggered by the processes, whereas the material proved efficient for: making core content accessible by pedagogically-prepared non-argumentative texts, introducing an egalitarian style of communication through created dentist-patient dialogues, ensuring ample practice in a non-threatening atmosphere with the right blend of pre-communicative and loosely-controlled communicative activities, developing formulaic sequences essentially for workplace transactions, building a carefully-selected repertoire of high-frequency dental words and teaching vocabulary directly with true-to-life photos. To achieve deeper learning outcomes than functional language mastery, it still needs transformation through: learner-compiled (e-)portfolios of academic and humorous genres, increased visibility for women dentists, creative use of illustrations, integration of cross-cultural elements, conscious attention to grammar and ludic language use and incorporation of service-learning projects on linguistic/cultural mediation.
CODE-SWTICHING IN LEGAL ENGLISH CLASSES: TEACHERS’ PRACTICES AND BELIEFS
Authors: La Minh Nguyen Binh
Published: September 2023

Code-switching in foreign language classrooms is a common phenomenon that has captured interests of researchers worldwide over the past decades. The lack of studies about code-switching in legal English teaching and learning in Vietnam gives rise to this current research. The study aimed to investigate code-switching practices of teachers in legal English classes at a university in Vietnam and examine their perceptions of their own teaching practices. Three legal English lecturers at Hanoi Law University participated in the study. Teachers’ classroom observations and interviews were used as methods of data collection. The findings from classroom observations indicate that first language (L1), Vietnamese, was occasionally employed by teachers to serve different purposes: subject access, classroom management and interpersonal relationships. Inter-sentential code-switching predominates intra-sentential and tag switching. The results from teacher interviews shed light on various underlying reasons for teachers’ L1 use. The outcomes also reveal some mismatches between teachers’ actual practices and their beliefs regarding code-switching for elicitation, recapitulation, and interpersonal relationships. Several suggestions for implementing teacher training programs on the effective strategic use of L1 in L2 instructions, for teachers’ practices and for further research are addressed in the present study.
SYMMETRIC AND ASYMMETRIC COMMUNICATION IN TEACHING ENGLISH FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES
Authors: Šelmić Nataša
Published: September 2023

The aim of this paper is to present the most important features of symmetric and asymmetric communication in the field of medicine as they are implemented in the Medical English course at the Faculty of Medicine University of Niš. Symmetric communication represents the form of communication between experts or equals, while asymmetric communication takes place between professionals and laypeople. Professionally oriented discourse and scientific discourse are examples of symmetric communication, while the doctor-patient encounter is an example of asymmetric communication. Professionally oriented discourse may be considered to be practically oriented and includes a wide variety of tasks performed by health care professionals. Scientific discourse is characterized by specialized language to express scientific facts in a precise and formal way. The doctor-patient encounter is an example of asyymmetric form of communication and enables practising the most relevant grammatical and semantic aspects of English.
DIGITAL LITERACY AS A TOOL FOR FOSTERING ENGAGEMENT AND MOTIVATION IN ONLINE/HYBRID ESP CLASSES
Authors: Kirovska-Simjanoska Daniela
Published: September 2023

Technology is inevitably connected to the teaching/learning process. It helps instructors, but at the same time, technology transfers responsibility for learning to students. Students can guide their learning at their own pace, direct their progress and have access to course content by participating in online/hybrid learning. That is why digital skills are essential in today’s education and society. But, what digital skills are needed to learn and thrive today? How about the skills needed to encourage engagement and motivation in learning? Digital literacy and confidence for everyone involved in education have become more vital than ever.This paper describes the results of a one-semester English for Information Technology course at the South East European University in Macedonia to determine if the core curriculum items provide motivation for students engaged in online/hybrid class. Also, it determines whether the students have the capabilities and skills to participate entirely in the digital society.The hybrid model discussed in this paper is the concurrent teaching-learning model. In this model, the author taught some students who were in person with her in the physical classroom, and at the same time, the teacher’s instruction was being streamed live through Google Meet with other students logged in at home. The teaching/learning process results will show why it is necessary to change our classroom practices in the modern education system.
INTEGRATING CORPUS ANALYSIS TOOLS AND PRACTICES FOR TERMINOLOGY STUDIES IN ESP COURSES
Authors: Mockiene Liudmila , Rackevičienė Sigita , Usinskiene Olga
Published: September 2023

This practice illustration paper aims to present the rationale and methodology of using corpus analysis tools and other software to develop students’ terminology analysis skills and enhance terminology acquisition at university level. It focuses not only on students of philology, but also on non-linguists within ESP courses. The paper presents the types of assignments for terminological analysis based on corpus analysis methodology as well as skills and competences developed through such activities. Assignments on corpus analysis of terminology provide several important benefits. Besides developing language analysis skills and deepening the knowledge of the specific domain, students also develop their research skills through data collection and analysis. They become researchers who can explore the linguistic phenomena on their own and share their discoveries. They develop the skills of working with different data sources, selection of relevant materials for the research, extracting, interpreting, and managing terminological data. It is hoped that the activities and practices presented in the paper will inspire ESP and EFL teachers to integrate the use of digital language technologies into terminology teaching strategies
LEARNING BY DOING: THE BENEFITS OF ADOPTING AN ONLINE NEGOTIATION SUPPORT SYSTEM INTO AN ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES COURSE
Authors: Kersten Margaret
Published: September 2023

The paper reports on the benefits of imbedding an online negotiation support system (NSS) into the experiential learning framework of an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course. Proponents of experiential learning projects in the second/foreign language classroom emphasize the benefits of learning by doing. To test the claim, the performances of students in two advanced level EAP courses at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, were compared. One course was developed with the principles of content-based (CBI) instruction, with input primarily from academic texts; the other course also used content-based instruction but was enhanced by an experiential learning project for which the online negotiation system was adopted.  Participation in the project provided a novel learning experience for second language learners at Carleton, with counterparts from universities in three additional countries (Austria, Poland, and Taiwan) also participating. A statistical analysis of student grades showed that the students in the EAP course enhanced by the experiential learning project obtained significantly higher grades on the final assignment in comparison to the students in the “traditional” CBI course.The paper also demonstrates that this teaching and training system enhances learning by promoting learner autonomy, critical thinking, and academic language development. Relevant aspects of the experiential learning project led to enhanced learning outcomes, supporting the claim that learning by doing benefits language acquisition. The paper proposes a new experiential learning model, applicable to ESP/EAP instruction, i.e., the sustained-content experiential learning model which can be applied to any project that emphasizes learning through direct experience. The model depicts the importance of sequencing academic content tasks that build on each other allowing learners to accumulate knowledge and language and prepare them to engage in a meaningful, authentic communication. It also illustrates the importance of using reflection as an effective learning tool that helps develop critical thinking and analysis, skills necessary for academic success.
CROSS CULTURAL COMMUNICATIVE CHALLENGES IN EAST INDIAN CLASSROOM
Authors: De Suneeta
Published: September 2023

Business Communication Teaching in India has its roots in English for Specific/Special Purposes or English for Technical Purposes (ESP/ETP) and its end products feed the recruitment markets worldwide. One assumes a certain degree of homogeneity in terms of industry-ask. A communication classroom is also perceived as having a minimum commonality of goals, competence and curriculum, the world over. What is intangibly heterogeneous, however, is the personal schema of individuals involved, and the complexity therein. Teachers and students of an Indian classroom bring with them their varied cultural contexts. While this definitely contributes to a great amount of healthy diversity of content, both the explicit as well as the implicit, this also creates challenges. Identifying patterns of communicative dissonance in cultural contexts in India and managing those communicative conflicts that arise therefrom, is the purpose of this discourse.
STUDENTS’ MOTIVATION, CHALLENGES AND EXPERIENCES IN DESIGNING VIDEO PRESENTATIONS VS. DELIVERING ORAL PRESENTATIONS IN AN ESP COURSE FOR SOCIAL SCIENCES
Authors: Radosavlevikj Neda
Published: September 2023

This paper has two primary goals: 1) to help students understand the effectiveness of using videos; and 2) to promote students’ motivation, interactivity, creativity and communication by designing their own video. The study was conducted at South East European University (SEEU) with 14 students. They were ethnic Albanian students, between 18 and 20 years old, who come from linguistically and culturally diverse backgrounds, but who were all enrolled in the ESP course for Social Sciences 1. Students were given the task of selecting a topic that is professionally linked to their field of study. They were then instructed to deliver an oral presentation in class according to established criteria from rubrics, and to produce the same presentation at home by using a video with self-evaluation rubrics. I conducted a survey comparing the motivation, experiences and challenges students faced while delievering an oral presentation in class vs. video-recorded presentations made at home.The preliminary research findings showed that most of the students were motivated to create their own videos because they were not limited by time or place: the asynchronous learning allows students to access materials, and to practice their skills, at any time that works for them. The majority of the students found this pilot project very interesting and engaging because it helped them develop their communication skills as well as to become more autonomous in learning English.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR AVIATION-RELATED ENGLISH TEACHERS CAPACITATION: A REFLECTION ABOUT TRAINING AVIATION-SPECIALIZED ENGLISH INSTRUCTORS
Authors: Soto Torres Jean Carlos
Published: September 2023

Teaching aviation English has become popular worldwide due to the language proficiency requirement test that some aviation professionals must meet. Since International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) established that mandatory recommendation, some instructional experts in the civil aviation industry have provided courses, workshops, and books to ease this knowledge to key aviation personnel which include pilots, and air traffic controllers, mainly. Almost 25 years have passed since ICAO implemented such a compulsory standard in its Annex 1; nevertheless, some teachers still have difficulties teaching this specialty of English for Specific Purpose because there are few suggestions for teaching this specialty of English. ICAO pays much more attention to the language proficiency requirement than to teaching specific aviation related English, as something that air radiotelephony personnel tend to study before meeting the language proficiency test. A reflection about capacitating teacher of aviation-related English, its tendency, and what is needed, will be discussed in the present article to go deeper on this matter and contribute to language safety. This is a qualitative research based on updated trends on this type of English for Specific Purpose, and on questionnaires submitted to English teachers from different countries who have engaged themselves in teaching in this important field.
The Various Types of Network Topologies Systems and their Efficiency Reliabilities
Authors: Jalil Muhammad Arif Bin
Published: September 2023

Abstract: Topology describes the procedure of putting items in a particular order, arrangement, or connection. So, the process of organising, organising, or connecting various devices in a network is referred to as network topology. Network topology refers to the various ways that devices can be connected to one another. Depending on how devices are connected to one another and how data moves between them, these network topologies have been categorised into several categories. Some of the topologies used in different industries for system layout include star, ring, hybrid, mesh, tree, and bus. This study has examined the advantages and disadvantages of different topologies based on connections and data flow. In this article, the significance of network topology will be discussed. In this article, the significance of network topology is covered. The increasing need for these topologies in several start-ups and major enterprises is covered in this article.It demonstrates how topologies have a bright future because every organisation must establish a network that must be carefully organised, leading to an increase in the use of network topologies.

Are Fallacies Frequent ?
Authors: Dufour Michel
Published: September 2023

This paper provides methodological tools and considers the reasons why it is difficult to address the controversial question, “Are fallacies frequent?” After preliminary remarks on the need to clarify the meaning of both ‘fallacy’ and ‘frequency,’ this paper shows that the emphasis on whether fallacies occur frequently is recent and bound to contemporary definitions that make it a necessary condition. Then, it discusses three different, debated empirical approaches that are intended to support the claim that fallacies are frequent. All of them raise doubts or objections or are even controversial from a methodological point of view. Ultimately, more empirical research is needed to answer this question.
Case Study of Contextual and Emotional Modulation of Source-case Selection in Analogical Arguments
Authors: Guarini Marcello
Published: September 2023

In making analogical arguments about actions, is more similarity between the source and target cases always better? No: all things considered, more similarity is not always better, even if the similarities are all relevant. The reason is that the context of the argument, including emotional considerations, modulates the selection of the source case to service the goals of the argument. If the goals of the argument include persuasion and even modifying someone’s emotional state, increasing the overall similarity between the source and target may be counterproductive.

Saúde mental tecida com afetos, mãos e ouvidos
Authors: Laguna Gabriela Garcia de Carvalho , Fraga Ricardo Evangelista
Published: September 2023

A arteterapia é um modo de intervenção que se utiliza de expressões artísticas, que podem ser diversas, como método para atingir um objetivo terapêutico e, o telemonitoramento, um recurso significativo para a continuidade da assistência em saúde, especialmente em tempos de distanciamento social. Nessa perspectiva, apresenta-se um estudo descritivo a partir da experiência de uma discente de Medicina. O projeto de extensão desenvolvido tem como objetivos fortalecer a relação entre arte e saúde, promover a vinculação entre discente, usuários e equipe de saúde, bem como a valorização do sensível através do diálogo e da arte. Com essa finalidade, foram semanalmente acompanhadas oficinas de desenho e, posteriormente, conduzidas oficinas de mandalas com usuários de um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial II do interior da Bahia, bem como realizados telemonitoramentos contínuos de usuários prioritários que poderiam se beneficiar de uma escuta sensível, periódica e contínua. Embora o objetivo das oficinas de arteterapia não seja o produto material em si, mas sim o processo, a satisfação dos participantes ao se reconhecerem capazes de construir algo e ver beleza nele era notória e, para alguns, catalisadora para iniciarem outros projetos em suas vidas. A construção de um espaço seguro de trocas, nas oficinas e nas ligações, permitiu partilhas que talvez encontrassem mais dificuldade e/ou não encontrassem espaço para serem abordadas em outros contextos, inclusive terapêuticos. Com o grupo foram estabelecidas relações de confiança, vínculo e afeto, apesar do desafio da adesão. A experiência evidenciou que a arte, a escuta ativa, a atenção continuada, contribuem não somente para o cuidado em saúde mental, como também para a formação de futuros profissionais da saúde qualificados e comprometidos com necessidades individuais e coletivas dos usuários dos serviços de saúde.
Arte e comunicação para produzir dribles epistêmicos
Authors: Hercog Bruna Pegna
Published: September 2023

Neste artigo, proponho contribuir para a reflexão sobre a atuação de iniciativas em arte e comunicação lideradas por jovens em territórios violentados da América Latina, partindo da seguinte provocação: com suas táticas, produções artísticas e modelos de gestão cultural comunitária, estas juventudes em movimento não estariam produzindo conhecimentos capazes de incidir nos processos de emancipação dos seus territórios? O que nos revelam estas práticas de gestão cultural que têm a arte e a comunicação como alicerces pedagógicos, a ancestralidade como bússola, o território como âncora e a aposta pelo comunitário como catalizadora da atuação? Compreendendo que por meio da arte e da comunicação estas juventudes elaboram dribles epistêmicos que convidam para a composição de outras intelectualidades, não estaríamos rumo às epistemologias das quebradas? Para avançar nestas reflexões, dialogo com ações culturais promovidas por coletivos atuantes nas periferias de duas cidades latino-americanas: Salvador (Bahia, Brasil) e Cali (Valle del Cauca, Colômbia).
Imagem etnográfica
Authors: Araújo Adriane Matos
Published: September 2023

O objetivo desse artigo é conceituar e significar a imagem etnográfica nas interpretações sobre a realidade educacional e sociocultural na pesquisa qualitativa. A pergunta que norteou essa investigação foi: “O que é a imagem etnográfica e quais são as suas características?”. A metodologia desse trabalho é a metaetnografia que considera os conceitos elaborados nos estudos primários como metáforas e, quando estudadas ou traduzidas, são transformadas em analogias que comparam os sentidos em um outro olhar, criando, assim, uma nova interpretação. É sobre a potência visual que a imagem etnográfica possui que se constata esse artigo. Pois, entendo a imagem etnográfica como representação cultural do contexto, ou seja, ela tem uma conotação global e não precisa de uma explicação ao visualizá-la. Nesse artigo compreendi que as imagens analisadas são etnográficas por serem imagens que revelam a realidade da sala de aula de forma cultural de entendimento global. Ou seja, em qualquer contexto social de culturas aproximadas, a imagem etnográfica pode ser interpretada, dando a esse tipo de imagem uma especificidade no processo interpretativo e na produção de conhecimento, especialmente, em educação.

Eles ofereceram um curso ligado às artes das performances tradicionais e foram desafiados a criarem performances para serem filmadas, junto com professores e alunos da UFMG, que resultaram no filme mencionado. O artigo elabora ainda uma reflexão sobre as artes da performance tradicional, analisando o filme e oferecendo um caminho de leitura que articula a centralidade das músicas e dos cantos presentes nas performances com a história da diáspora transatlântica, a espiritualidade e a presença da natureza, nos diferentes modos de expressão das culturas afro-brasileiras, intermediadas pelo cinema documentário.

Emotional Text Detection is a technique in natural language processing that aims to identify the emotions contained in conversations or text messages. The LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) method is one of the techniques used in natural language processing to model and predict sequential data. In this study, we propose the use of the LSTM method for emotion detection in conversation. The dataset used is a conversational dataset that contains positive, negative, and neutral emotions. We process datasets using data pre-processing techniques such as tokenization, data cleansing and one-hot encoding. Then, we train the LSTM model on the processed dataset and obtain evaluation results using accuracy metrics. The experimental results show that the LSTM model can be used to detect emotions in conversation with a good degree of accuracy. In addition, we also conducted an analysis on the prediction results of the model and showed that the LSTM model can correctly identify emotions. In conclusion, the LSTM method can be used to detect emotions in conversation with a good degree of accuracy. This method can be used to improve user experience in chat applications and increase the effectiveness of human and machine interactions.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive brain tumor with
poor outcome. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been tested in
GBM and, despite disappointing results, the identification of a small
subgroup of responders underlies the need to improve our understanding
of the tumor microenvironment (TME) immunity. The aim of this study was
to determine whether the expression of selected immune checkpoints on
tissue-resident memory T cells (Trm) may predict patient outcome. We
conducted a single cohort observational study. Tumor samples were
collected from 45 patients with histologically confirmed, IDH wild type,
GBM (WHO grade IV) and processed to obtain single cell suspensions.
Using multiparametric flow cytometry and uni/multivariate analyses,
patients were assessed for the correlation of Trm with overall survival
(OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). High and low frequency of Trm
expressing PD1 and TIM3 was found to be linked to clinical outcome. In
fact, low frequency of Trm expressing PD1 or TIM3 or both markers
defined subgroups as independent positive prognostic factors for patient
survival. On multivariate analysis, low CD8+CD103+PD1+TIM3+ Trm and KPS
≥70 were confirmed to be the most predictive independent factors
associated with longer OS (HR [95%CI]: 0.14 [0.04 - 0.52]
p˂0.001, 0.39 [0.16 - 0.96] p=0.04, respectively). The
CD8+CD103+ Trm subgroups also resulted age-linked predictors for
survival in GBM.
Synchronous recovery of lithium and boron from the carbonate-type brine by two tandem fixed-bed adsorbers

Published: September 2023

In view of the coexistence of lithium and boron in the carbonate-type
brine, a novel process for the synchronous recovery of lithium and boron
from brine using two tandem fixed-bed adsorbers, is developed, where the
first column is packed with PVB-HTO ion-sieves for lithium recovery, and
the second column is packed with N-methylglucamine resins for boron
recovery. After the recovery of lithium and boron from brine, two packed
columns are desorbed independently through acidic solution washing to
obtain Li-rich solution and B-rich solution, respectively. The
carbonate-type brine mainly contains cations of Na+, K+, Li+ and anions
of Cl-, 〖“SO” 〗_4^(2-) , 〖“CO” 〗_3^(2-) and 〖“B(OH)”
〗_4^- , where carbonate and borate in brine have the pH-buffering
action to accept or neutralize the released H+ ions enhancing the Li+/H+
ion-exchange. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed process
is validated experimentally for the synchronous recovery of lithium and
boron from brine.
