Published: July 2024

While euphemism has been extensively studied, there remains a gap in the literature regarding its use by physicians with critically ill patients during consultations, as well as medical students' perceptions of this practice. This present mixed-methods case study addresses this gap by examining the forms of euphemistic language employed by doctors with critically ill patients and exploring medical student’s perspectives on this use. Findings reveal that physicians utilize euphemisms to emphasize positive aspects, employ softer terminology, and omit frightening details when communicating with critically ill patients. Medical students perceive this practice as valuable for minimizing patient stress and facilitating comprehension of information. of information. These findings have significant implications for medical practice and education. For practitioners, a nuanced understanding of euphemisms language can enhance patient-doctor communication, particularly in sensitive contexts, by mitigating anxiety and fostering a more supportive atmosphere. For medical educators, incorporating training on the effective use of euphemisms into curricula can better equip future physicians to navigate difficult conversations with empathy and clarity. This study also highlights the need for continued research into communication strategies within healthcare to ensure their alignment with both ethical principles and the emotional well-being of patients.

Published: July 2024

The present study intended to investigate second/foreign language (L2) learners’ level of instrumental motivation and the extent to which it predicted their self-efficacy. A survey method was used. It involved 144 Indonesian L2 learners of English from seven non-English departments through a convenience sampling. Through descriptive statistics, this study found that the instrumental motivation associated with future professions, academic success, and practical reasons were all high. Through bivariate linear regression, the study also found that learners’ instrumental motivation significantly predicted their self-efficacy, being able to explain 22.2% of its total variance. Implications include promoting in L2 instruction meaningful and relevant real-world tasks for learners whose majors are not English so that they are willing to invest more time and effort for L2 learning success and gradually build their self-efficacy. Examples of activities include using English for job opportunities, passing exams, or meeting language requirements. For classes with learners from various disciplines, teachers could also allow some freedom in choosing topics or tasks. This study might provide an overview of the relationship between instrumental motivation and self-efficacy, serving as a foundation for future research in this area. Limitations are stated alongside the suggested directions for relevant future studies in the field of instrumental motivation and self-efficacy.

Published: July 2024

LAY SUMMARY Military life is known to challenge family member well-being, as well as parent-child and marital relationships. Although coparenting predicts parenting quality, parent-child and marital relationships, and family members’ well-being, research has rarely considered how it is challenged by military life and how parents overcome these challenges. Interviews with 15 fathers and 15 mothers from Canadian families headed by a military father and a civilian mother revealed various aspects of military life that impacted or complicated coparenting (absences, relocations, military culture, values and career, mothers’ occupations, and financial issues), mostly challenging parents’ abilities to jointly manage families and division of labour. Strategies to overcome challenges valued and encouraged father involvement, promoted agreement and joint decision making, and adjusted coparenting dynamics, thoughts, and perceptions. Although temporary or permanent maternal solo-parenting was reported, most strategies supported coparental collaboration. Findings suggest ways to support coparenting and the resilience of military families.

Abstract
This article focuses on the quenching properties of vegetable and animal oils, including toxicity and biodegradability of vegetable/animal oils. The article provides a detailed discussion on the oxidation of vegetable/animal oils. The addition of antioxidants to stabilize soybean and palm oils is discussed, and the article concludes that substantially better performance is required if vegetable oils are to be effective functional equivalents to petroleum oil formulations. This may be done by selecting different vegetable oil compositions with less unsaturation, by applying genetic modification of soybean seed oils, or by chemically modifying and stabilizing the vegetable oil structure.

Education is the field undergoing systematic changes and development that results in the necessity of constant research. Consequently, this process presents a handful of modern terminology that might become ambiguous by creating obstacles to understanding in different languages. Modern terminology mainly originates from the English language that has become the source of spreading the terms amongst different languages worldwide. Therefore, many people struggle with properly comprehending the idea behind a term that may cause misunderstanding of modern terminology misleading the process and consequent outcomes.
The goal of Euro Project- Terminology coordination between Euro Parliament TermCoord and Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University corpus.bsu.edu.ge is to harmonize the multilingual term base of the European Parliament. Moreover, the project aims at research and lexical processing of thematic (medicine, culture (archaeology), education) terms, referring to sources and academic reference materials. Besides the driving force of the project is to create modules for field terms and reference materials on www.terminology.bsu.edu.ge; The process of working on terminology within the framework of the project is being carried out by developing the terminological corpus base of BSU (Batumi Shota Rustaveli state University). It will contain the thematic terminology that is being developed by BSU academics and students with copyright protection.
This particular study aims to determine what challenges and benefits have been identified in the process of working in the field of education. Quantitative, descriptive and comparative methods have been applied in this research paper. The quantitative method has been used for data collection analysis, while the descriptive and comparative methods have been attributed to content analysis.
The results suggest that the benefits are as follows: (a) education terms have been processed and placed on www.terminology.edu.ge, which will be needed within the framework of association with the European Union; (b) processed thematic terminology in the area of education is available and the process of coordination-harmonization with TermCoord is the subject to be completed; (c) the thematic terminology will serve to minimize ambiguity in the field of education. And the challenges are as follows: (a) some terms do not have corresponding Georgian equivalent; (b) some terms cannot be referred to any kind of sources in Georgian; (c) some terms cannot be referred to any kind of context in Georgian.

Authors: Jin He , Yang Qiu , Chen Guodong , Zhang Wei , Wu Yanchuan , Wang Rong 
Published: July 2024

Background: Urinary Alzheimer-associated neuronal thread protein (AD7c-NTP) is a biomarker for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It remains unclear whether hepatorenal function affects the urinary AD7c-NTP level. Objective: To evaluate the effects of hepatorenal function on urinary AD7c-NTP level. Methods: We enrolled 453 participants aged 60–100 years. An automated chemistry analyzer was used to determine the indicators of serum hepatorenal function. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure the urinary AD7c-NTP level. Results: Spearman’s correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between urinary AD7c-NTP levels and indicators of hepatorenal function, including albumin ( r = –0.181, p < 0.001), albumin/globulin ratio ( r = –0.224, p < 0.001), cholinesterase ( r = –0.094, p = 0.046), total carbon dioxide ( r = –0.102, p = 0.030), and glomerular filtration rate ( r = –0.260, p < 0.001), as well as a positive correlation with globulin ( r = 0.141, p = 0.003), aspartate transaminase ( r = 0.186, p < 0.001), blood urine nitrogen ( r = 0.210, p < 0.001), creatinine ( r = 0.202, p < 0.001), uric acid ( r = 0.229, p < 0.001), and cystatin C ( r = 0.265, p < 0.001). The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis and multiple linear regression model analyses showed that the statistically significant hepatorenal indicators for predicting AD7c-NTP were A/G ( p = 0.007), AST ( p = 0.002), BUN ( p = 0.019), and UA ( p = 0.003). Conclusions: The effects of hepatorenal indicators should be considered when using urinary AD7c-NTP levels in clinical settings.
3D printing of beams with the possibility of transverse reinforcement, considering the peculiarities of the construction printer

Published: July 2024

3D printing of load-bearing structuresis creating rapid changes in the construction industry.
New opportunities for building complex architectural forms are emerging, and the speed and quality of work is accelerating. But don't forget about the production specifics of this latest technology. An important detail that many people forget about is that 3D printing with concrete or mortar requires the use of some kind of reinforcement, and there are still nostandards for solving this issue. This is ensured by the use of construction 3D printers, which allow for complex operations both at industrial factories and directly at the construction site. However, despite all the advantages of this technology, there are also a number of challenges due to insufficient optimisation of new systems.
The required stiffness of the structures is not achieved due to the absence of a spatial reinforcement structure, which should be provided by vertical reinforcement ties (transverse reinforcement).
The article presents a solution to the problem of transverse reinforcement in 3D printing of load-bearing beams, proposed and performed by the authors.
To implement the task, design drawings of test beam structures were developed. The article presents the design of the beams and the sequence of their production by 3D printing. The beams were manufactured, according to the sequence of work developed by the authors of the article, by the Ukrainian company 3D TECHNOLOGY UTU LLC.
The work resulted in the development of a technology for manufacturing beams with the possibility of reinforcingthem with a vertical welded cage in the design position.
To determine the physical and mechanical characteristics of the materials, samples of cubes andprisms, as well as reinforcement, were made. The proposed technology of printing beams using a construction 3D printer made it possible to producestructures that meet the previously developed design and technological solutions and made it possible toplace transverse frames in the design position, which allows the structure to take not only bending moments but also transverse forces.
