Communicative Competence in Schools with Slovene as the Language of Instruction in Italy
Authors: Mlekuž Maja Melinc 
Published: January 2024

AbstractIn the settlement area of the Slovene national and linguistic minority in Italy the situations in which Slovene language varieties are used are scarce. The main share of the responsibility for developing effective communication skills in Slovene is therefore transferred to the didactically structured environment. This paper examines the obstacles faced by educational institutions in developing communicative competence in Slovene, the extent to which these obstacles are tackled in the didactic-methodical structure of Slovene lessons conducted at Slovene-language schools in Italy, and the manner in which this is reflected in national examinations, the matura examination, i.e., a school-leaving examination at the end of the upper-secondary school, and the INVALSI examinations for different levels of schooling. The paper outlines the guidelines for conducting communication-based lessons and offers an example of good practice, namely a lesson plan developed within the project EDUKA 2 – Cross-Border Governance of Education.
“Whoever Dies Righteously, Lives Forever”: Religious Content of Commemorations in Croatian News Media
Authors: Šuligoj Metod 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe main purpose of the present research was to determine the extent to which Croatian news media report on religious content at commemorations and on other characteristics of commemorative events. Commemorations can be understood either as a component aimed at consolidating national identity or as a component of dark tourism. Using quantitative content analysis, we first coded all archived and publicly available online articles (f = 363) from Croatian news media/newspapers. For statistical analysis purposes, we used cross tabulations and binary logistic regression. We found that reporting on religious rituals at commemorations does not depend on the medium (newspaper, newspaper publisher) and that the medium does not influence the frequency of reporting. Likewise, reporting on the inclusion of religious rituals in commemorations is not related to reporting on other features of these events. Hence, on the one hand, media practices do not take full advantage of certain assumptions offered by the Catholic religion in relation to memory and are, on the other hand, more in line with the threats that religion can pose in postconflict multicultural settings.
Change in the Discursive Practices of Bilingual Speakers after Moving to a Monolingual Environment
Authors: Kumar Danila Zuljan 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe article analyses the speech behaviour of two speakers who were born into bilingual families, grew up in a bilingual environment in Italy, and decided as adults to move to a monolingual Slovene environment. We are interested in how the change in environment affects their discursive practises. To acquire the data, the guided conversation method and transcription of audio-recorded discourse were used, while the interactional sociolinguistic analysis method was used to analyse the discourse. The study showed that in the monolingual Slovene environment, both speakers found it difficult to adapt their speech to Slovene technical language. They also lacked the specific Slovene expressions used in everyday life. On the other hand, although their Slovene was interspersed with Italian interference, they knew variations in Slovene and were sensitive to the use of slang in standard Slovene.

Introdução: A hepatite autoimune caracteriza-se como uma condição na qual o sistema imunológico humano ataca as células do fígado, gerando uma grande inflamação. O tratamento pode envolver medicamentos imunossupressores na tentativa de controle da resposta imune. Os sintomas podem variar de cada pessoa e o diagnóstico envolve na maioria dos casos testes sanguíneos, exames de imagem e biópsia hepática. Objetivo: Compreender a resposta autoimune do organismo de pacientes com a hepatite autoimune (HAI). Resultados: Além de terapia medicamentosa, o tratamento inclui alguns ajustes no estilo de vida, como adequação na dieta, monitoramento e controle do estresse. Na hepatite autoimune (HAI), a análise de fatores prognósticos fornece informações cruciais sobre a progressão da doença e a eficácia do tratamento. A idade ao diagnóstico emerge como um indicador relevante, sugerindo que o início da HAI em idades mais avançadas pode estar associado a uma possível progressão mais rápida.

Authors: Téllez Cuevas Rodolfo 
Published: January 2024

El objetivo del presente trabajo es dar un análisis, a más de un año de iniciado, al entorno y causas que dieron origen al conflicto entre dos Estados, Rusia y Ucrania y el impacto que tuvo después de iniciado en América latina. Nuestro método de análisis estuvo centrado en el conocimiento de expertos (Inoue, Jaliffe, Ramonet, Henaro, Sánchez Tapia y Torres), el ámbito del análisis escrito (Aceves, Graham) y organismos internacionales (la CEPAL, el FMI y otros); así como en la teoría geopolítica del Heartland (Mackinder, Gordon East, Clover, Kruszewski). Los resultados de este conflicto entre dos Estados se analizaron en torno a sus repercusiones mundiales y el impacto económico sobre América Latina. Partiendo de la interrogante de que si el conflicto ruso-ucraniano es de orden hegemónico en la región de Euro-Asia y obedece a aspectos económico-comerciales de Rusia, quien está buscado coyunturas políticas para justificar su invasión a Ucrania, que la han posicionado como un Estado y una potencia militar; y en el terreno comercial con América Latina –vemos que- sólo afectó a algunos países, que es nuestro interés ulterior.

Authors: L.K. Sumitra, Swetha.M  
Published: January 2024

Objectives
To evaluate & compare the electrodermal activity(EDA) among males and females in response to cold pressor test. Thus know the differences in autonomic functions in males & females.
Materials & Method
In this experimental study Galvanic skin response(GSR) was the parameter measured for EDA. The sample size of our study was 70 MBBS students (35 males & 35 females)
Cold pressor test was performed by immersing hand in cold water (temp 4°C to 6°C) &changes in electrodermal activity(GSR) was recorded by using Biochart (version 1.0) device in our research lab.
Results
There was a significant increase in GSR after immersion of hand in cold water both in males and females. The baseline GSR value, GSR after immersion in cold water & the recovery GSR value were significantly higher in males compared to females.
Conclusion
There is substantial evidence of gender difference in the functioning of the autonomic system, including specific effects of both male & female sex hormones. As a generalisation, at least in humans there is a preponderance of sympathetic mediated responses in males and of parasympathetic in females.
Our data show that EDA(GSR) is such a simple and non invasive method that can be used reliably to measure the autonomic nervous system functions i.e., the sympathetic over activity during cold induced acute pain.

Diabetes mellitus, endocrine disorder which involves multiple organ systems and leads to significant morbidity and mortality due to accompanying complications. Thyroid diseases and diabetes mellitus are common endocrine disorders. The present study is carried out for the assessment of thyroid dysfunction in type 2 diabetic patients by measurement of serum T3, serum T4 and serum TSH levels.
Materials & Method
This study was conducted in Department of Physiology in association with Department of Endocrinology, JNU Institute for Medical Sciences & Research Center, Jaipur. A total of 100 subjected were enrolled into the study. They were divided into 2 groups, 50 age and sex matched healthy subjects were taken as group I (controls) (HbA1c: 5.5 to 6.5%) and 50 type 2 diabetes mellitus subjects were taken as group II (HbA1c: >7.5%). Age of the study subjects was 35 to 65 years. Under aseptic conditions, 5 mL random venous blood sample is collected from all subjects in vacutainers, 2 mL in plain tube and 3 mL in EDTA tube. Serum sample was used for the estimation of random sugar (GOD-POD method) by using ERBA chemistry analyzer, thyroid profile by ELISA method, using mini VIDAS and EDTA sample is used for estimation of HbA1c by using BIORAD-D10. Data were expressed as mean ±SD. P value <0.05 is considered as statistically significant.
Results
Random blood sugar and HbA1c levels were significantly increased in T2DM (group II) subjects compared with controls (group I). T3 levels were significantly decreased and TSH levels were significantly increased in T2DM subjects compared to controls. HbA1c is positively correlated with TSH.
Conclusion
In this present study, we have observed that the abnormal thyroid hormone levelsamong type 2 diabetics. Therefore there is a need for the routine assay ofthyroid hormones in type 2 diabetes mellitus inorder to improve the quality of life and reduce the morbidity.

Impact of Single Use of Energy Drink on Blood Pressure and Heart Rate in Healthy Medical Students
Authors: Kavya Patil, M.S.Kusumadevi  
Published: January 2024

Background
Globally, the popularity of energy drinks is steadily increasing. After being first introduced around 1960, they have been increasingly used all over the world for the promotion of mental concentration and vigilance. Although few of these claims have been partly demonstrated in a few athlete-targeted surveys, many more health concerns are increasingly unfolded about the excessive consumption of energy drinks. A number of investigations focused on the hemodynamic effects of the consumption of energy drinks on healthy individuals; some of which found a statistically significant effect on heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP)
Objective
To evaluate the acute effects of the consumption of energy drinks on blood pressure and heart rate in a group of healthy medical students.
Materials and Method
The study was conducted on 40 healthy MBBS students studying in Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute in the age group of 19 to 22 years. Blood pressure and pulse rate were recorded pre and 1 hour post consumption of energy drink in the subjects.
Results
Descriptive statistical analysis was carried out on the data obtained in the present study. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure increased 1 hour post consumption of energy drink but not statistically significant. Heart rate increased significantly 1 hour post consumption of energy drink.
Conclusion
A statistically significant increase in heart rate was observed in the subjects one hour after consumption of energy drink (pre=78.6±9.03, post=83.4±10.08, p value=0.05*). Though there was no statistically significant change in blood pressure, systolic BP increased by 3 mm of Hg (from 112.2±9.96 to 115.3±9.86) and diastolic BP increased by 2mm of Hg (from 71±7.32 to 72.2±6.75).
