Authors: Ghioldis Andrei Cristian , Sarbu Vasile , Butelchin Cristina , Olteanu Cornelia , Popescu Razvan Catalin 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Background: Obesity is one of the current public health problems and one of the risk factors associated with colorectal cancer patients. Few current studies support the feasibility of laparoscopic surgery in rectal cancer in the obese patients.
Methods: The study aims to highlight the impact of obesity on patients with rectal cancer approached laparoscopically and the feasibility of laparoscopic surgery in patients with BMI>30kg/m2. The current study is a retrospective study conducted between 01.01.2017-31.12.2021, at the General Surgery Clinic 1 of the County Emergency Hospital Constanta. We analysed the group of 51 patients, in two subgroups of obese (n=17,33.3%) and non-obese (n=34, 66.7%) patients. We performed an analysis of the two groups according to the essential aspects of preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative evolution (obese versus non-obese).
Results: In terms of body mass index, the mean body mass index was 34.64 kg/m2. The obese group had a longer operative time and higher intraoperative blood loss. No significant differences were found in terms of systemic postoperative complications. Obese patients required more time for active mobilisation and resumption of bowel movement, more antibiotic and analgesic therapy and longer hospitalisation.
Conclusions: Obesity may influence the evolution of patients with rectal neoplasia in terms of prolonged operative time and longer hospitalisation. Laparoscopic surgery is a safe option for the surgical treatment of patients with rectal cancer due to the low rate of local postoperative complications.

Authors: Fedotova M. S. , Panfilova H. L. 
Published: May 2024

Aim. To conduct the study of the state of pharmaceutical care for patients with dementia in Alzheimer’s disease in Ukraine.
Materials and methods. Historical, graphic, systematic, logical, mathematical and statistical research methods were used. The analysis of the structure of drug consumption by cost indicators and the number of drugs according to the INN was carried out using an integrated ABC/VEN-analysis, which was based on the distribution of drugs using the formal and expert approach to assessing their clinical value in the treatment of patients.
Results. According to the data of the VEN-analysis using the formal approach (availability of drugs in the relevant regulatory framework), drugs with V status had the lowest consumption volumes (0.4 %) in contrast to the data we obtained when using an expert approach in the distribution of drugs (33.7 %). It was found that in the VEN-analysis (formal approach) the lion’s share in the structure of consumption accounted for drugs from group N – 80.9 %, and according to the data of the expert distribution of drugs, it was equal to 57.7 %. According to the integrated ABC/VEN analysis of drug consumption using the formal approach to assessing the pharmacotherapeutic significance of drugs, it was determined that there were no drugs with A/V status in the treatment of patients. The share of drugs with A/N status was 62.3 %. In turn, according to similar studies in which the expert approach was used, drugs with A/V status accounted for 30.5 % of the total consumption, and A/N was 47.1 %. In the case of using the formal approach, only 16 drugs (12.9 %) were assigned to the first category (vitally important, requiring control), and taking into account the opinion of experts on this issue – 23 (18.5 %) drugs. Category III of drugs (unimportant, not requiring control) included 78 (formal approach) and 48 (expert approach) drugs. In the structure of the total consumption, drugs of category I (formal approach in the VEN analysis) accounted for 80.4 %, and using the expert approach – 83.2 %; in category II, similar indicators were 14.7 % and 14.2 %, and in category III – 4.9 % and 2.6 %, respectively.
Conclusions. In the conditions of the inconsistency of the requirements of the national regulatory and legal framework, which regulates the pharmaceutical care with a modern vision of organizing the treatment process of patients with dementia, the issue of strengthening the cooperation between clinical pharmacists and doctors, as well as the active implementation of the results of clinical and economic studies in practical healthcare is relevant.
Info Technology and Mental Health: A Study of Jonathan Franzen's Purity in the Scope of Berardi’s Theory
Authors: Fadhel Leqaa Saeed , Rasheed Lamiaa Ahmed 
Published: May 2024

In the contemporary era, information technology and mental health are complexly intertwined and the capitalist system plays a significant role in shaping this relationship. The current study argues that most mental diseases like depression, insomnia, schizophrenia, and other diseases of the contemporary era are occurring as a result of being exposed to a huge amount of information technologies. The main aim of this study is to explore and argue that these mental diseases are not a biological state but it comes as a reaction of the mind against the accumulation and acceleration of information in people's minds. The paper uses the observations and opinions of the Italian communist philosopher Franco Berardi to understand the significance of such figurations in Jonathan Franzen's Purity and it will reflect the idea that developing an understanding of how the capitalist system is blamed for these mental diseases by exposing people to an unlimited amount of information that the human mind is unable to access or deal with. Focusing on a depressed woman who is mentally exhausted as a result of the pressure of the new life and wants to change it, Purity uncovers the evils at the heart of our contemporary information technology society.
THE TRANSLATION OF APORIA IN ENGLISH LITERARY TEXTS INTO ARABIC
Authors: Abdullah Inaam Fathi , Najim Hala Khalid 
Published: May 2024

Aporia is a rhetorical device that expresses a specific paradox through which the writer feels uncertain about something as a way of proving a point. It is expressed differently in every language by using specific tools. Therefore, problems are raised by translating this term into a different language. In addition, it is problematic in translation because English uses certain means for expressing aporia, while Arabic adopts others. Consequently, this paper aims at giving a comprehensive study of English and Arabic Aporia in order to detect the correct ways of translation. It also aims to explain if aporia exists in Arabic text just like English, and if it is explicitly expressed in Arabic text. It also aims to investigate the challenges and difficulties that obstruct the process of translation dealt with such types of sentences. The study hypothesizes that aporia can be differently realized in Arabic. It also hypothesizes that semantic translation is highly adopted in translating aporia into Arabic.
Three texts are chosen from English literary books and given to five M.A. students of Translation Department, College of Arts, University of Mosul. The model adopted in this paper is Newmark’s (1982&1988) with two types of translation involving semantic and communicative. The paper concludes that aporia is realized by using different structures. In addition, the translators adopt the semantic translation rather than the communicative one. Finally, the paper ends up with some recommendations and suggestions for further studies.
Metaphor of Shame in Chinese and Russian
Authors: HUANG YIFAN 
Published: May 2024

The article presents a comparative analysis of metaphors reflecting the emotion of shame in Russian and Chinese. The methods of conceptual analysis, comparative analysis, metaphorical modeling and corpus research of metaphorical units are used on the material of the Chinese BCC and CCL buildings and the Russian NKRJ corps. The aim of the work is to study the emotional metaphors of shame in Russian and Chinese and to identify similarities and differences in the conceptualization of shame in the two linguistic cultures. The methodological basis of the research is the theory of cognitive metaphors by J. Lakoff. According to this theory, the metaphors of shame in Russian and Chinese were divided into five types: physical, natural, ontological, behavioral and sensory. As a result of the study, it turned out that in different cultures there are similarities in the use of metaphors to express shame, which may indicate a universal biological basis for this emotion. However, trends and differences in cognitive processes lead to significant differences between Russians and Chinese in how metaphors are used to express shame. The study of shame metaphors in Russian and Chinese is an important topic for comparative analysis of linguistic features, which contributes to a deeper understanding of cultural characteristics and emotional manifestations in various cultural contexts.

Authors: Loots Francois , Iwu Chux Gervase , Makoza Frank 
Published: May 2024

Purpose: Within the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality in South Africa, no record of factors that inhibit the successful pursuit of the food truck business exists. This study closes this gap, as its chief goal was to ascertain the factors influencing the sustainability of food truck entrepreneurs in Nelson Mandela Bay (NMB).

Theoretical Framework: The study used a conceptual framework developed from previous studies on factors that affect food truck entrepreneurs and business sustainability.

Design/Methodology/Approach: Data for the study was collected through semi-structured interviews with seven food truck entrepreneurs from NMB. The data was analysed using thematic analysis.

Findings: Reviewing the factors that have been highlighted in this study, it is evident that several factors are most important for a food truck business to remain sustainable and profitable. It was established that both internal and external factors play an important role in the success of a food truck business. A framework that highlights the factors influencing a food truck business in NMB has been created for ease of use by entrepreneurs in the food truck industry.

Research, Practical & Social Implications: Prospective and current practitioners in the field can predict the long-term success of their endeavours by understanding the factors. The framework can also be used by metro officials and local governments to determine where support might be needed to promote and support entrepreneurs in their business ventures by reviewing policies and regulations.

Originality/Value: Improved regulations could help food truck owners grow their businesses, employ more people, and upskill others.
Leitura linguístico-discursiva e argumentativa de um miniconto francês contemporâneo
Authors: Azevedo Isabel Cristina Michelan de , Melo Priscilla Barbosa de Oliveira 
Published: May 2024

Este trabalho se insere nos estudos de retórica literária e objetiva propor o ensino da leitura interpretativa-argumentativa de um gênero literário na aula de FLE (francês como língua estrangeira), tendo como corpus um miniconto francês oriundo do site Short Édition (editora francesa de literatura curta), La liste, de James Bukolic. Com base na análise apoiada na atualização da retórica contrastiva, observa-se que as marcas culturais registradas na escrita francesa imprimem ao texto um tom de informalidade necessária ao gênero e, ao mesmo tempo, demarca as escolhas que promovem o uso de técnicas argumentativas associadas às ações do personagem, o que possibilita a compreensão da produção retórica-discursiva na literatura. Em síntese, nota-se que a análise linguístico-discursiva combinada à argumentativa do gênero miniconto, além de permitir entender como a escrita literária francesa se compõe, demarca as circunstâncias socioculturais típicas da contemporaneidade, bem como as estratégias persuasivas empregadas em exemplares da literatura.

No/por esse modo de significação, os atletas paralímpicos não seria atletas de alta performance, mas exemplos exitosos de pessoas com deficiência que superaram, pelo esporte, as limitações impostas no/por seus corpos.
Indigenous Oral History Reader
Authors: Schwartz Bryan P. 
Published: May 2024

The oral history of Indigenous people in Canada has been recognized by mainstream legal systems in Canada over the past few decades as being of fundamental importance in court cases and negotiations with Indigenous peoples. As Indigenous peoples further exercise their right to self-government, they will continue drawing their oral traditions to define and develop their autonomous legal system.

This anthology attempts to collect a wide variety of materials that embody many perspectives. It attempts to place those materials within a conceptual framework that might be helpful in looking at Indigenous oral history, and indeed oral history generally. That framework includes viewing oral history in three dimensions of time - testimony about recent events, oral histories that encompass an individual's lifetime, and oral traditions that are passed down from generation to generation. The framework includes looking at oral history in the context of how many cultures and traditions incorporate oral history in their legal systems and cultures. It asks both how values and methods differ among communities and how they reflect widespread or virtually universal tendencies. The framework also invites the reader to consider the different ways in which oral evidence can or should be reinforced or qualified by references to other sources of information, such as other oral evidence, documentary testimony and physical evidence of various kinds.

It is hoped that this collection will be of assistance to others in studying or developing their own teaching materials in this dynamic area.
Konsep Uswah Hasanah dalam Pendidikan Islam
Authors: Iwan Sanusi  , Andewi Suhartini  , Haditsa Qur'ani Nurhakim  , Ulvah Nur'aeni  , Giantomi Muhammad  
Published: May 2024

Di antara faktor penyebeb terjadinya dekadensi moral peserta didik adalah minimnya keteladanan dari orang tua, guru, individu dan komunitas masyarkat, dan para pemimpin. Era suprainformasi ini pun memberikan dampak yang cukup signifikan, sebab peserta didik dihadapkan pada peniruan melalui media masa dan elektronik, dan termasuk manusia mempunyai fitrah ghazirah yang cenderung meniru orang lain. Oleh karena itu, pemahaman mendalam tentang konsep dan hakikat uswah hasanah dalam perspektif pendidikan Islam sudah menjadi suatu keniscayaan dikuasi yang kemudian diimplementasikan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif analitik kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsep uswah hasanah (keteladanan yang baik) menjadi salah satu komponen inti dalam transfromasi konten pendidikan Islam yang berlandaskan pada Q.S. Al-Ahzab: 21 dan hadis bahwa akhlak Rasulullah saw. adalah Alquran. Uswah hasanah dianggap sebagai metode pendidikan Islam yang paling efektif dan berpengaruh pada kebiasaan, sikap, hingga menjadi tindakan. Urgensi konsep uswah hasanah dalam kehidupan adalah sebagai bukti ketaan pada Allah dan Rasulullah saw. Dan bangsa yang berperadaban baik dimulai dari individu yang baik. Adapun pengembangan model penanaman nilai karakter melalui peneladanan dapat dilakukan dengan keteladanan dan pembiasaan baik yang disengaja ataupun tidak. Serta, implikasi pedagogik metode uswah hasanah ini menunjukkan bahwa pendidik adalah pewaris pada nabi, pendidikan adalah uswah hasanah, dan keteladanan itu dimulai dari diri sendiri.
