Published: September 2024

Background
While treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in refugees is generally effective, many refugees remain symptomatic after treatment. Coping styles could be relevant to PTSD treatment response and as such may be a potential focus of PTSD treatment.

Aims
The study aims to examine 1) if baseline coping styles are related to treatment response after EMDR therapy or stabilization, and 2) if coping styles change during these treatments.

Method
Seventy-two refugees with PTSD were randomly allocated to 12 hours of EMDR therapy or stabilization. A coping questionnaire (COPE-easy) and clinical interview for PTSD (CAPS-IV) were administered before and after treatment and at three-month follow-up. The association between baseline coping styles and PTSD symptom change was examined using regression analysis and a t-test. Changes in coping styles were analyzed using mixed design ANOVA.

Results
No significant relations between baseline coping style levels and PTSD symptom changes were found. Additionally, coping style levels did not change significantly after either treatment.

Conclusion
Contrary to the hypothesis, we did not find any evidence that treatment was related to (changes in) coping style. Addressing pre-treatment coping styles among refugees receiving short-term therapy, may not be required for reducing PTSD. Changing coping styles may need a longer or different type of treatment.

Este dossiê pretende propor reflexões antropológicas sobre o processo de impeachment de 2016. Como um dossiê de antropologia pública, os textos seguem uma estrutura mais livre e, talvez, nesse momento mais apropriada a uma reflexão crítica e criativa sobre os fatos recentes. E a opção por textos mais opinativos que textos estritamente acadêmicos permite também que tenhamos opiniões de diferentes intelectuais que, sem a opção de um texto mais livre, dificilmente teriam o ânimo de produzir os textos.
Heat transfer efficiency in gas–solid fluidized beds with flat and corrugated walls
Authors: Wardag Alam Nawaz Khan , Larachi Faïçal 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Gas–solid fluidized bed reactors exhibit improved heat and mass transfer performance as compared to packed beds. Corrugated walls installed in narrow gas–solid bubbling fluidized bed (CWBFB) enclosures have been observed to decrease minimum bubbling velocity, reduce bubble size, improve gas distribution, provide stable operation, and minimize particle carryover or loss. Thorough analyses of the wall-to-bed heat transfer coefficient in flat- (FWBFB) and corrugated- (CWBFB) wall bubbling fluidized beds have been performed for a variety of operating conditions and geometric parameters. Fast-response self-adhesive heat flux probes and thermocouples were used to simultaneously measure the wall-to-bed heat flux, surface and bed temperatures, and were used to determine the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) at various axial and lateral locations. For a given set of parameters, a significant increase in HTC was observed at lower gas flow rates in CWBFB as compared to FWBFB. It was shown that CWBFB inventory required lower U
mb (gas flow rate) as compared to FWBFB. Full 3-D transient Euler–Euler CFD simulations using the kinetic theory of granular flow were also performed, which confirmed the experimental results.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Iron (Fe) removal is a critical step in the hydrometallurgical zinc (Zn) extraction process. Hematite, a stable Fe precipitate, offers an environmentally friendly option that complies with environmental protection standards. While existing research primarily focuses on hematite process technology, there is a lack of studies on how ions in ZnSO4 leaching solutions affect Fe removal efficiency and hematite particle size distribution. This study investigated the influence of manganese II (Mn(II)) and magnesium II (Mg(II)) concentrations and temperature on both Fe removal efficiency and hematite particle size distribution in ZnSO4 leaching solution. The results indicated that at various temperatures, the highest Fe removal efficiency occurred with an initial Mn(II) concentration of 10 g/L and an Mg(II) concentration of 15 g/L. As the concentrations of Mn(II) and Mg(II) as well as temperature increased, FeSO₄ crystallization also increased, which adversely affected hematite precipitation. The average particle size of hematite decreases from 300 to 100 nm, resulting in a more uniform particle size distribution, which correlated with the homogeneous solution saturation precipitation mechanism. However, the number of rod-shaped, regular small particles decreases, while the number of irregular, blocky particles increased.
Can we train young EFL learners to ‘notice the gap’? Exploring the relationship between metalinguistic awareness, grammar learning and the use of metalinguistic explanations in a dictogloss task
Authors: Delgado-Garza Paloma , García Mayo María del Pilar 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In this pilot study we investigated whether metalinguistic explanations (ME) could help young learners (YL) boost their metalinguistic awareness (MA) and, in turn, improve their accuracy at the time of using two grammatical features. Although previous research has established a positive correlation between MA, metalinguistic knowledge (MK) and better learning outcomes in a foreign language (FL), few interventional studies have been conducted in this regard. Using a pretest/post-test design, an intact classroom (N = 20) of L1 Spanish 10-year-old students of English as a FL (EFL) was divided into an experimental and a control group. First, both groups completed an individual pen-and-paper MA test. Then, they were paired up according to their proficiency level and asked to carry out a dictogloss task, in which they had to negotiate their final written output. Before the post-test phase, the experimental group was asked to engage with a learning sequence of ME concerning two problematic English grammatical features: third person –s and his/her. These explanations also included the definitions of metalinguistic terminology. Additionally, an individual three-step verbal protocol was carried out after the post-tests to triangulate collaborative data. The results showed a moderate effect of the treatment in MA scores. Likewise, ME had a large effect on the use of third person –s during the interaction, as well as a moderate effect on the accurate use of his/her. Also, the treatment group dyads produced significantly more episodes of noticing during the post-test task and at a higher resolution rate than during the pretest stage. These findings support the use of explicit learning devices such as ME with YL of EFL, as they seem to promote MA and increase their accuracy even in input-limited learning conditions.

The complexities of managing a newborn with 6q24 transient neonatal diabetes mellitus: a case report
Authors: De Silva Yannick , Birt Stewart 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Objectives
This case report delves into the intricate management of a newborn with transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM), shedding light on the complexities and challenges in treatment decisions.

Case presentation
Born prematurely with a low birth weight and a maternal background of gestational diabetes, the infant developed hyperglycaemia necessitating intravenous insulin therapy. Subsequent genetic testing confirmed 6q24-TNDM, due to the uniparental disomy of the whole of chromosome 6. Glibenclamide, a second-generation sulfonylurea, was cautiously introduced but discontinued due to adverse effects. Despite post-meal hyperglycaemia, blood glucose levels stabilised over subsequent weeks. Regular follow-ups demonstrated appropriate growth and development and the resolution of diabetes.

Conclusions
This unique case highlights the need for multidisciplinary collaboration, tailored treatment strategies, and vigilant monitoring in managing 6q24-TNDM.
A quasi-reversibility method for solving nonhomogeneous sideways heat equation
Authors: Qiao Yu , Xiong Xiangtuan 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
We consider solving a severely ill-posed problem for determining the surface temperature and heat flux distribution of the nonhomogeneous sideways heat equation by a quasi-reversibility regularization method. An analytical solution is deduced based on the Fourier transform, and then, the logarithmic-type error estimate for the regularized solution is achieved. Finally, three numerical examples, including smooth and non-smooth functions, validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach.
What R Mandarin Chinese /ɹ/s? – acoustic and articulatory features of Mandarin Chinese rhotics
Authors: Chen Shuwen , Whalen Douglas H. , Mok Peggy Pik Ki 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Rhotic sounds are well known for their considerable phonetic variation within and across languages and their complexity in speech production. Although rhotics in many languages have been examined and documented, the phonetic features of Mandarin rhotics remain unclear, and debates about the prevocalic rhotic (the syllable-onset rhotic) persist. This paper extends the investigation of rhotic sounds by examining the articulatory and acoustic features of Mandarin Chinese rhotics in prevocalic, syllabic (the rhotacized vowel [ɚ]), and postvocalic (r-suffix) positions. Eighteen speakers from Northern China were recorded using ultrasound imaging. Results showed that Mandarin syllabic and postvocalic rhotics can be articulated with various tongue shapes, including tongue-tip-up retroflex and tongue-tip-down bunched shapes. Different tongue shapes have no significant acoustic differences in the first three formants, demonstrating a many-to-one articulation-acoustics relationship. The prevocalic rhotics in our data were found to be articulated only with bunched tongue shapes, and were sometimes produced with frication noise at the start. In general, rhotics in all syllable positions are characterized by a close F2 and F3, though the prevocalic rhotic has a higher F2 and F3 than the syllabic and postvocalic rhotics. The effects of syllable position and vowel context are also discussed.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Fricke gel dosimeters are appropriate candidates for gamma dosimetry. Polyvinyl alcohol Fricke gel dosimeters are the most recent introduced gel dosimeters which have low ion diffusion. In this work, samples of ferrous-xylenol orange-polyvinyl alcohol gel dosimeters were prepared and characterized using optical spectroscopy. Using win XCOM program and the elemental composition of the gel, the mass attenuation coefficients for photons were evaluated. The results exhibited that the prepared gel is the nearly radiological blood-, soft tissue- and water-equivalent. The 60Co gamma cell unit was used to irradiate the gel samples. A dose range response was found linear from 10 to 30 Gy and suitable for blood irradiation dosimetry. Additionally, the gel response good repeatability was confirmed by the coefficient of variation calculations. Furthermore, chemical yield of the gel was estimated to be 34.6. The good characteristics of the prepared gel make it appropriate for dosimetry of blood irradiators.

Authors: Isman Ainul Fatha , Hidayah Nur 
Published: September 2024

Research Originality: Economic empowerment through financing Micro Small Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) is one dimension of the social mission of sharia banking in Indonesia. The merger action of Bank of Sharia Indonesia (BSI) raises the question of whetherthe performance of economic empowerment has changed.Research Objectives: This research aims to analyse the differences in the BSI’s performance of economic empowerment during preand post-merger periods and analyse the issues and strategies for improving BSI's post-merger economic empowerment performance.Research Methods: It is a research using mixed method combining a quantitative explorative analysis approach using Wilcoxon Test, and a qualitative one using Analytic Network Process.Empirical Results: This research finds that BSI's economic empowerment performance has increased in terms of the quantity but decreased in terms of proportion in the post-merger period. ANP research demonstrates that risk management is a priority issue for the BSI post-merger period. The social mission of economic empowerment indicates several priority issues, namely, the relatively higher rate of profit margin than interest, the inadequate supervision model, the low rate of risk management literacy, and the relatively higher risk of profit loss sharing (PLS)-based financing. The strategy analysis indicates that policy intervention for BSI’s MSMEs financing is a top priority in improving the performance of its economic empowerment.Implications: This research recommends some recommendations for sharia banks’ MSMEs financing equivalent to the one of conventional banks. Economic digitalization as technological means to widen accessibility of economic empowerment and distribution segmentation focusing more on the halal sector.JEL Classification: A13, G21, G34How to Cite:Isman, A.
