“¡Hola! Soy el profesional de Secretariado Ejecutivo”
Authors: Stefany Nunes Warley 
Published: May 2024

“¿Hola?, ¿hola? Soy el profesional de Secretariado Ejecutivo. ¿Podría hablar con el Sr. o la Sra….?” Esa es una de las rutinas de la vida del profesional de Secretariado Ejecutivo en las empresas. Siempre a vueltas con el gerenciamiento de la información, del tiempo, de la secretaria etc., acaba por ejercer un papel multifacetado y estratégico en las organizaciones, por estar inserido, muchas veces, en su comunicación de forma amplia y holística. En este sentido, la llamada telefónica provoca acciones que, dentro de la realidad plural y dinámica, pueden resultar en comportamientos innovadores y creativos en la perspectiva del planeamiento, bien como diseminar objetivos y valores.Siendo así, el profesional de secretariado acaba actuando en el proceso de construcción y reconstrucción de la cultura organizacional, dado que permite que sus actores sociales,en simultáneo, se viertan y se conviertan, rompiendo su modelo homogeneizado y verticalizado. Considerando la importancia de ese recurso en la formación profesional, este artículo se centrará en investigar el telefonema como herramienta pedagógica para el desarrollo de la competencia comunicativa en el aula de español de los profesionales de Secretariado Ejecutivo en Brasil. Entre los objetivos específicos, citamos: a) examinar las habilidades necesarias para tener la competencia comunicativa y b) realizar el análisis de la conversación a través de un simulacro telefónico. Para llevar a cabo, nos centramos en el paradigma quali-quantiativo, es decir, los datos se interpretaron como fenómenos, atribuyéndoles significados y asumiendo, por su vez, un tono descriptivo, en la cual, mismo considerando los números, se analizan los datos inductivamente, teniendo en vista la aprehensión del significado inherente al material cosechado. Para el marco teórico, nos basamos en Chomsky (1957, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1972, 1973 y 1981), Austin (1962), Grice (1975), Hymes (1974) y Canale (1980, 1983 y 1988) para investigar la competencia comunicativa.

Authors: Tjandraputra Edwin Nugraha , Rantung Dyoys Anneke , Naibaho Lamhot , Boiliu Noh Ibrahim 
Published: May 2024

Manusia hidup tidak terlepas dari keberadaan orang lain, karena manusia akan terus berusaha untuk selalu menjalin interaksi dengan orang lain, baik itu berbicara, bertukar gagasan maupun berbagi pengalaman. Dalam interaksi manusia ini tidak jarang terjadinya konflik. Konflik ini bahkan bisa terjadi di dalam gereja dan juga dalam kehidupan keluarga. Konflik yang terjadi di dalam gereja dapat disebabkan oleh ketidakpuasan anggota jemaat (Internal) maupun disebabkan oleh orang lain (eksternal). Faktor internal misalkan manajemen/admistrasi gereja yang tidak jelas, laporan keuangan yang tidak transparan, program kerja dan kebijakan lainnya yang dianggap hanya menguntungkan individu atau kelompok tertentu. Faktor eksternal misalnya: masyarakat sekitar yang tidak setuju berdirinya gereja juga politik. Konflik yang terjadi di tengah gereja akan berdampak pada peribadahan yang tidak kondusif, anggota jemaat yang saling membenci, sampai akhirnya pelayanan di gereja tidak terlaksana dengan baik. Sedangkan konflik yang terjadi dalam keluarga misalnya konflik antara anak dan orang tua, konflik antara suami dan istri. Manajemen Pendidikan Agama Kristen memiliki peran untuk menghindari dan menyelesaikan konflik yang terjadi dalam kehidupan gereja dan juga keluarga Kristen.
On the Treatment of English Word Stress within the Generative Tradition: History, Concepts and Debates
Authors: Durand Jacques , Yamada Eiji 
Published: May 2024

This chapter provides a historical overview of the treatment of word stress in English within the generative tradition, giving prominence to Chomsky and Halle’s The Sound Pattern of English (1968, SPE). As SPE emerged from a rich history of research on word stress, we first examine a number of early twentieth-century antecedents of a pedagogical, descriptive and theoretical nature, from both the United Kingdom and the United States. We then focus on SPE as the first and most significant comprehensive study of English stress in the generative tradition. Thereafter, we provide a detailed survey of the main frameworks that attempted to extend and improve the linear derivational approach of SPE. Among these, Metrical Phonology, Lexical Phonology and Optimality Theory are highlighted. The chapter concludes with reflections on the status of phonology with regard to Plato’s problem within Chomsky’s generative enterprise.
Album Culture: Begging for Scraps
Authors: Matthews Samantha 
Published: May 2024

This chapter explores the valences of the ‘scrap’ in later Romantic print and manuscript culture through the gendered construction and reception of albums and scrapbooks during 1820s and 1830s ‘albo-mania’. It considers tensions between amateur and professional artistic practices, between handmaking and reproduction, and between gift-exchange and the marketplace through the curious contemporary trope of the scrap-beggar. This figure, common to visual and verbal discourses, applies the stock attributes of the mendicant, with ragged clothing, staff and begging wallet, and the exoticised female ‘gypsy’, to the middle-class album-owner ‘begging’ for contributions to her album. Where Maurice Rickards views the scrap-begging motif as ‘gently satirical’, this chapter argues that it represents the print industry’s drive to redirect the iconography, practices and dynamics of album culture and gift-exchange for profit. By aligning albums and their makers with a socially conservative view of mendicancy as exploitative professional beggary, print professionals aimed to discipline and discredit amateur women makers’ increasing agency in arts and culture while exploiting cultural feminisation commercially. This chapter argues that the ‘scrap’ aesthetic and album arts affirm an alternative women-centred sphere of artistic, social and affective practice based on the gift and motivated by the spirit of charity and inclusivity.
Cordelia’s Fire
Authors: Sale Carolyn 
Published: May 2024

The chapter proposes new ways of understanding where we do and do not find ‘virtue’ in King Lear. It puts the conduct of Lear’s counsellor, Kent, to the test by situating it in relation to inequitable thinking in Aristotle’s Politics. It also offers a new, phenomenological reading of the scene in Lear that has been called ‘a paradigm not just for Shakespeare’s stage but for all theater’, by attending to how the audience matters to Edgar’s project of letting his father pretend that he throws himself off the cliff at Dover. The rest of the chapter explores various ways in which the play appeals to audience members to understand the theatre as a site of their potential transformation, with various ecological ideas informing what the audience may experience in the time and space of playgoing.

IntroductionMicrobial community composition is closely associated with host disease onset and progression, underscoring the importance of understanding host–microbiota dynamics in various health contexts.MethodsIn this study, we utilized full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing to conduct species-level identification of the microorganisms in the oral cavity of a giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) with oral malignant fibroma.ResultsWe observed a significant difference between the microbial community of the tumor side and non-tumor side of the oral cavity of the giant panda, with the latter exhibiting higher microbial diversity. The tumor side was dominated by specific microorganisms, such as Fusobacterium simiae, Porphyromonas sp. feline oral taxon 110, Campylobacter sp. feline oral taxon 100, and Neisseria sp. feline oral taxon 078, that have been reported to be associated with tumorigenic processes and periodontal diseases in other organisms. According to the linear discriminant analysis effect size analysis, more than 9 distinct biomarkers were obtained between the tumor side and non-tumor side samples. Furthermore, the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis revealed that the oral microbiota of the giant panda was significantly associated with genetic information processing and metabolism, particularly cofactor and vitamin, amino acid, and carbohydrate metabolism. Furthermore, a significant bacterial invasion of epithelial cells was predicted in the tumor side.DiscussionThis study provides crucial insights into the association between oral microbiota and oral tumors in giant pandas and offers potential biomarkers that may guide future health assessments and preventive strategies for captive and aging giant pandas.

BackgroundGiven its putative roles in mediating prosocial behavior, attachment bonds, and stress physiology, oxytocin modulation has been hypothesized to be a biological correlate of the salubrious effects of meditation practice. Here we investigated the effects of a month-long silent meditation retreat on changes in oxytocin, and the related hormone and vasopressin, in relation to psychosocial changes in attachment style, anxiety, personality measures, and feelings of social connectedness with fellow meditators.MethodsPlasma oxytocin and vasopressin and self-report questionnaires were measured in retreat participants (n = 28) at the beginning of, and 3 weeks into, a residential meditation retreat. Control participants (n = 34), who were similar in age, gender, and meditation experience, were also assessed across a 3-week interval. Linear mixed effects models were used to assess outcomes.ResultsThe retreat group showed a small but significant decrease in oxytocin compared to controls who showed no change. In the retreat group, higher openness to experience at Time 1 predicted greater reductions in oxytocin during the retreat, and lower oxytocin at Time 2 was related to stronger feelings of personal connection with fellow meditators. The changes in oxytocin were not related to attachment style or anxiety. Vasopressin decreased over time across both groups, suggesting no specific effect of retreat.ConclusionThese preliminary findings suggest that meditation training in the context of a silent residential retreat may reduce circulating levels of oxytocin. We interpret this finding from multiple theoretical perspectives, discussing key measurement limitations and proposing future study designs that may help to differentiate the effects of different meditation practices and contexts on oxytocin signaling.

ObjectivePostoperative nonfunctioning pituitary tumor (NFPT) regrowth is a significant concern, but its predictive factors are not well established. This study aimed to elucidate the pathological characteristics of NFPTs indicated for reoperation for tumor regrowth.MethodsPathological, radiological, and clinical data were collected from patients who underwent repeat operation for NFPT at Moriyama Memorial Hospital (MMH) between April 2018 and September 2023. For comparison, we also gathered data from patients who underwent initial surgery for NFPT during the same period at MMH.ResultsOverall, 61 and 244 NFPT patients who respectively underwent reoperation and initial operation were evaluated. The mean period between the previous operation and reoperation was 113 months. Immunonegativity for any adenohypophyseal hormone was significantly more frequent in the reoperation group than in the initial operation group. In addition, the rate of hormone-negative but transcription factor–positive (H-/TF+) tumors among silent gonadotroph tumors was significantly higher in the reoperation group than in the initial operation group. Furthermore, seven silent corticotroph tumors (SCTs) in the reoperation group were ACTH-negative but TPIT-positive. Because most of the previous surgeries were performed in other hospitals a long time ago, we could procure the previous pathological results with immunohistochemistry (IHC) only from 21 patients. IHC for TF had not been performed in all the previous specimens. IHC for adenohypophyseal hormone was almost the same as the current results, and many H-/TF+ tumors were previously diagnosed as NCT. In addition, the reoperated patients were classified into 3 groups on the basis of the condition of the previous operation: gross total resection (GTR), 12 patients; subtotal resection (STR), 17 patients; and partial resection (PR), 32 patients. The mean Ki-67 LI in the GTR, STR, and PR subgroups were 1.82, 1.37, and 0.84, respectively, with the value being significantly higher in the GTR subgroup than in the PR subgroup (P &lt; 0.05).ConclusionsThe ratio of H-/TF+ tumors is significantly higher in symptomatically regrown tumors than in the initial cases, which used to be diagnosed as NCT. PR cases tend to grow symptomatically in a shorter period, even with lower Ki-67 LI than GTR cases.

Published: May 2024

Objective: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a chronic progressive eye disease that affects millions of diabetic patients worldwide, and ferroptosis may contribute to the underlying mechanisms of DR. The main objective of this work is to explore key genes associated with ferroptosis in DR and to determine their feasibility as diagnostic markers.Methods: WGCNA identify the most relevant signature modules in DR. Machine learning methods were used to de-screen the feature genes. ssGSEA calculated the scoring of immune cells in the DR versus control samples and compared the associations with the core genes by Spearman correlation.Results: We identified 2,897 differential genes in DR versus normal samples. WGCNA found tan module to have the highest correlation with DR patients. Finally, 20 intersecting genes were obtained from differential genes, tan module and iron death genes, which were screened by LASSO and SVM-RFE method, and together identified 6 genes as potential diagnostic markers. qPCR verified the expression and ROC curves confirmed the diagnostic accuracy of the 6 genes. In addition, our ssGSEA scoring identified these 6 core genes as closely associated with immune infiltrating cells.Conclusion: In conclusion, we analyzed for the first time the potential link of iron death in the pathogenesis of DR. This has important implications for future studies of iron death-mediated pro-inflammatory immune mechanisms.

IntroductionAnastomotic stricture is a common complication following esophageal atresia (EA) repair, substantially affecting the patient’s quality of life (QoL). Multiple dilations are often required to maintain the appropriate diameter of the esophagus, leading to ongoing challenges. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of oral viscous budesonide (OVB) in prolonging the time between symptom recurrence and subsequent dilation.MethodsWe carried out a retrospective single-center study for pediatric patients (0–18 years) who had undergone recurrent esophageal dilations (≥3) following EA repair and initiated treatment with OVB (1 mg/day &lt;10 years, otherwise 2 mg/day). Efficacy of treatment was determined by assessing a dysphagia symptom score (DSS) ≤1 for at least 3 months. Recurrence time to dysphagia and dilation were analyzed according to Kaplan-Meier method.ResultsOf 29 patients screened, 19 were enrolled: 19/19 were responsive to OVB and 13/19 (68%) didn’t required further dilations. The median time between dilations was significantly prolonged compared to the pre-treatment period [30 months vs 2 months; p&lt;0.01] as well as the time to dysphagia relapse [18 months vs 1 month; p&lt;0.01].ConclusionTopical budesonide has proven to be an effective treatment for recurrent esophageal stricture in repaired EA. Further investigation is required to assess the long-term sustained response of symptoms to topical steroids.

Published: May 2024

BackgroundPremature deliveries are a major public health issue, with high health, economic, and productivity costs associated with lengthy hospitalizations in neonatal critical care units. The goal of this study was to determine the number of premature births in Ethiopia's Debre Berhan Comprehensive Specialized Hospital and the factors that influence them.MethodsThe Debre Berhan Comprehensive Specialized Hospital conducted an institution-based cross-sectional study between February and April 2020. A total of 325 study participants were selected using systematic random sampling. Face-to-face interviews using a pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire were used to collect data. For data entry and analysis, Epi data version 3.1 and SPSS version 20 were used. At a P-value of 0.2, bivariate logistic regression analysis was used to categorize candidate variables to the next level, and variables in multivariate logistic regression models with a p-value of 0.05 were considered statistically significant.ResultPreterm births accounted for 16.1% of all births at Debre Berhan Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. Cesarean section [AOR = 2.412; 95% CI (1.154, 5.0370)], twin pregnancy [AOR = 3.524; 95% CI (1.114, 11.150)], and maternal anemia during pregnancy [AOR = 3.124; 95% CI (1.417, 6.887)] were statistically significant associations with the outcome variable in the final logistic regression model.Conclusion and recommendationPreterm birth was found to be greater in the study area than in the Global Action Report for Sub-Saharan Africa and a few other countries. Efforts should be made to prevent maternal health issues that lead to caesarean section, and all pregnant mothers should be supplemented with iron and folic acid as soon as feasible. This study suggests that there is still a gap in the field in terms of health service intervention.

Published: May 2024

BackgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a prevalent cancer, is linked to cuproptosis in tumor progression. However, cuproptosis's impact on HCC prognosis and its role in the tumor microenvironment remain unclear. We aimed to explore the correlation between cellular cuproptosis and the immune microenvironment in HCC, providing potential immunotherapeutic insights. MethodsExamining cuproptosis-related genes and the immune microenvironment through consensus clustering and WGCNA. Risk models were constructed using LASSO Cox analysis and validated in an independent cohort. Gene expression data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database were utilized. We scored cuproptosis expression and explored immunoinfiltration and cell-cell communication. Differential signals in T_memory cells were compared across different cuproptosis levels. ResultsCuproptosis genes associated with fibroblast recruitment (GLS) and macrophage infiltration (FDX1). Liver cancer patients categorized into two subtypes based on cuproptosis gene expression. High expression of DLAT, GLS, and CDKN2A linked to immunosuppression (TGF-β), while high FDX1, MTF1, LIAS, and LIPT1 expression enhanced communication with non-immune cells. Developed reliable prognostic signature score and nomogram using cuproptosis-related genes. Single-cell analysis revealed differences in T_memory and TAM infiltration based on cuproptosis scores, with SPP1 and MIF as dominant signaling molecules. Finally, the results of in vitro experiments showed that when DLAT or CDKN2A was knocked down, the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells were significantly decreased. ConclusionOur study demonstrates that cuproptosis affects the immune microenvironment and cell-cell communication. Identified 9 genetic markers predicting survival outcomes and immunotherapy responses. Evaluating cuproptosis signaling can optimize immunotherapeutic strategies for hepatocellular carcinoma.
