Personal Pronouns in Biden’s Inaugural Speech: A Critical Discourse Perspective
Authors: Romadlani Muhammad Masqotul Imam 
Published: April 2024

This research primarily examines the first-person personal pronouns in political discourse, political speech in particular. This research aims to reveal how the pronoun I and we are exploited by the politician for the specific intention in political discourse. This research contextually investigates those personal pronouns and their inflectional forms based on the critical discourse analysis perspective, revealing the function and the purpose of producing a particular and an intentional personal pronoun to refer to specific addressee(s). That linguistic strategy in political context indicate the social and political relation between the speaker and the referents. The data in this research were taken from the script of Biden’s inaugural speech given in 2021. From 224 first-person personal pronouns, Biden produced the pronoun I and its inflectional forms 63 times or 28,1% and the pronoun we and its inflectional forms 161 times or 71,9 in percentage. Even though the plural form was identified as the most first-person personal pronoun produced by Biden, the occurrence of the pronoun we and its inflectional forms excluded Kamala Harris as his vice president. Biden exploited the first-person singular personal pronoun to express his gratitude, quality, positive image and persuasively to ingratiate the citizens. On the other hand, Biden expressed the pronoun we and its inflectional forms to establish a sense of national unity, togetherness to confront the challenges, and sharing responsibility. Personal pronouns no longer deal with language structure analysis only, but they are also employed to persuasively affect socio-political position, especially in a political context.

Network Learning and Education
Authors: Sudlow Darren 
Published: April 2024

Technology, and in particular the internet, has had an undeniable impact on all aspects of society. Professor Manuel Castells, conceptualises this change as the rise of a ‘Network Society’ with the internet being the decisive technology in this change - “with the explosion of wireless communication in the early twenty-first century, we can say that humankind is now almost entirely connected”. The network society is constructed around personal and organisational networks, powered by digital networks and communicated by the internet. This, in turn, means society is both boundaryless and global.

If this is the emerging paradigm, then we need to reconsider how we ‘do’ education. Our current approach does not yet align with this. In fact, it only amplifies our vulnerabilities. Schools operating as silos, in a competitive, market-driven environment, focused entirely on the local context, makes little sense. It is no wonder that as schools compete to attract all the best teachers for their particular area, others suffer as a result. Teacher shortages are inevitable in such an environment.

Networks of schools and networked learning are just one key to addressing many of the challenges we face in a fast-changing world. This is clear in the development of Kōhui Akos which recognises the importance of schools working together to provide meaningful pathways for learners within or across local communities. However, networked and flexible education needs to be deeply embedded at a system level to really achieve meaningful change.

In such a paradigm shift, schools work together as networks of learning to create efficiencies in the use of their resourcing, to cater to a wide variety of learner needs and interests and to prepare them for a ‘connected’ world. We embed a system level solution. This solution has operated within New Zealand for close to thirty years with little central support. It is a grass roots development led by rural schools who had to work together to remain sustainable. Operating as regional clusters schools used the internet to share teachers and programmes across schools.

We certainly recognise the challenges to this. Self-managing, autonomous schools is embedded into our educational pysche. It is how we expect things to work. However, networked education actually strengthens the local rather than dissipating it. It does not deny autonomy. It just asks schools to think at both a networked and local level.

We have an opportunity to leverage technology to realise a vision for education in New Zealand which establishes schools as networks, as collaborators and as providers in a boundaryless environment. The significance of this vision is that is a based on an established, proven model that has been in place in some form since 1994.

Join me as we explore the possibilities and opportunities with such a paradigm shift. What does this look like in practice? What are the challenges? What needs to happen to embed networked education at local, regional and system level?

Published: April 2024

Purpose: The aim of the research is to study the various aspects of the circular economy in Bulgaria and the countries of the European Union.

Method: The article evaluates the circular economy by applying different statistical analysis approaches: multivariate statistical methods, convergence analysis and cross-correlation analysis.

Results and conclusion: First, as a result of the conducted dynamic classification of EU countries, it was found that the transition to a circular economy is most advanced in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Italy and Luxembourg. Second, according to each of the indicators included in the analysis, the absence of a process of general convergence and the presence of club convergence between the EU-27 countries during the period 2012-2019 was established. Convergence among countries in four of the clubs formed is relative, while in the others there is a process of transitional divergence and phase reversal. Third, based on the cross-correlation analysis, we find no relationship between generated and recycled packaging waste in Bulgaria from 2005 to 2019. Between these indicators in the European Union for the same period, there is reason to argue that there is a relationship that occurs within the current year. Fourth, the values of the indicators of waste utilization and rendering waste harmless clearly show that in Bulgaria the waste from economic activities is mainly landfilled, and this is associated with additional costs and leads to environmental pollution. Fifth, the taxonomic analysis shows the existence of minimal differences between the Bulgarian districts in terms of municipal solid waste management.

Published: April 2024

The objective was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of biapenem (Bianem–AF drug) in the treatment of severe forms of infection in ICU patients.Materials and methods. The prospective observational study. At the first stage, microbiological testing of strains (n = 51) isolated from patients in ICU of the Scientific and Clinical Center of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care of the Pavlov University was performed to determine sensitivity to meropenem and biapenem by serial dilution method with the determination of MIC (Minimal Inhibitory Concentration). The genes of serine and metallocarbapenemases were detected by PCR method. At the second stage, patients over 18 years old with the site of infection that required surgical treatment and with clinical and laboratory signs of sepsis were included (n = 19: 11 females, 8 males, mean age 63.4 years). These patients received therapy with biapenem 600 mg every 12 hours as extended infusions over 1 hours (after bolus injection for the first 24 hours). Daily assessment of the severity of the inflammatory reaction and organ dysfunction was conducted to all patients included in the study. Microbiological analysis of biological material obtained from the site of infection has been obtained. Clinical effectiveness was evaluated as recovery/improvement or lack of effect. Adverse effects were recorded.Results. Among 51 isolates of microorganisms: 27 (52.9%) Klebsiella pneumonia, 16 (31%) strains of other representatives of the order Enterobacteriales, 8 (15,6%) non-fermenting gram-negative microorganisms. 48% of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates were resistant to meropenem and biapenem. All of them had serine (class A and D) and metallo-carbapenemase (class B) genes, as well as their combination. Of the 16 strains of other representatives of the order Enterobacteriales, only 2 (12.5%) were resistant to meropenem and biapenem. Resistance to carbapenems in the non-fermenting gram-negative microorganisms reached 87.5%. The proportion of ESBL producers among carbapenem-sensitive Enterobacteriales reached 93%. The response to biapenem therapy was received in 100% of patients. A day after the start of biapenem administration, a decrease in the level of procalcitonin was noted from 4.65 ng/ml (1.26; 18.8) to 2.2 (1.3; 16.2), after 72 hours – to 1.9 (0.8; 5.0) ng/ ml, by the 7th day – to 0.6 (0.3; 2.5) ng/ml. The median SOFA score decreased from 3.0 (1.5; 4.0) after 24 hours to 2.0 (0,5; 3,5). The average duration of antibacterial therapy was 6 days, the duration of stay in the ICU was two days, and the duration of hospitalization was 9.5 days. There were no adverse effects when using biapenem.Conclusion. Given the high prevalence of ESBL producers and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains in hospitals, the more favorable safety profile of biapenem compared to other carbapenems, Biapenem appears to be a justified choice for initial empirical therapy MDR sepsis.

Methemoglobinemia in a child induced by metoclopramide: a clinical case
Authors: Pavlova M. S. , Zainagutdinova S. N. 
Published: April 2024

Introduction. Methemoglobinemia is a rare condition characterized by an elevated level of methemoglobin in the blood, leading to chemical hypoxia. The most common symptom is central cyanosis refractory to oxygen therapy. Diagnosis of methemoglobinemia is difficult due to the nonspecific clinical presentation and lack of awareness. Accurate diagnosis requires a thorough medical history, differential diagnosis, and confirmation through laboratory investigations.The objective was to demonstrate the successful use of ascorbic acid in the management of acute secondary methemoglobinemia in an 11-year-old boy on prolonged metoclopramide therapy.Materials and methods. The retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical course of acute secondary methemoglobinemia in the 11-year-old boy on prolonged metoclopramide therapy, necessitating oxygen therapy and parenteral administration of ascorbic acid solution. Special attention was given to the clinical presentation, characteristic changes in laboratory parameters, and the effectiveness of timely ascorbic acid therapy. Clinical and laboratory improvement was achieved within 24 hours of treatment initiation.Conclusion. Caution should be exercised when prescribing medications that can induce methemoglobinemia, taking into account dosage, duration, and frequency of use. Furthermore, careful attention should be given to the combination of metoclopramide with other drugs that may affect iron heme oxidation reactions.

Published: April 2024

Introduction. Professional burnout syndrome (PBS) in specialists in emergency medicine is one of the global problems of modern health systems, since its presence has a significant impact both on the health of individual employees and the quality of care in general.The objective was to analyze risk factors, peculiarities of the course of professional burnout syndrome and its prevention among physicians of intensive care units based on the data of world literature in order to eliminate them in domestic clinical practice.Materials and methods. The analysis includes 122 publications from abstract databases PubMed and e-library for the period from 2017 to 2023. The search was carried out using keywords: provider burnout syndrome, stress, personality, anesthesiologist, intensive care physician, intensive care unit. After the initial study of abstracts, 72 articles were excluded from the review, where there was no access to the full text or they were devoted to organizational preventive measures.Results. The frequency of professional burnout syndrome among specialists of intensive care units was about 40%, which was significantly higher compared to other medical specialists. It was revealed that PBS is a crisis period in middle-aged specialists due to functional changes in higher nervous activity. The main risk group with the highest probability of developing PBS is the intensive care unit nursing staff. A significant workload combined with a low level of motivation, dissatisfaction with professional activities and the lack of recognition of personal achievements by colleagues and management are key risk factors for the development of emotional burnout syndrome.Conclusion. A high level of professionalism in combination with the spiritual and moral component of the personal life of a specialist and the elimination of reversible negative factors of the medicine of critical conditions will allow with a high probability to prevent the development of professional burnout syndrome.
