Radio Health Programmes and Menopause Awareness among women of Perimenopausal Age in Rivers State, South-South Nigeria
Authors: Innocent Kasarachi Hayford  
Published: June 2023

This study was motivated by the perceived lack of awareness among women of perimenopausal age in Rivers State, Nigeria, of the conditions and features that follow the onset of menopause. Specifically, the study analysed the influence of listenership to two flagship health programmes - Medic 923 (Nigeria Info FM) and Health Matters (Treasure 97.7 FM)—on the women's level of awareness and preparation for the onset of menopause. Media Dependency, Media Literacy and Agenda setting theories formed the theoretical framework of the study. Using a survey as the research design, a sample size of 381 was chosen using cluster and purposive sampling techniques from a population of 38,675, with the questionnaire serving as the data collection instrument. The findings reveal that there is a high level of listenership to Medic 923 and Health Matters by women of perimenopausal age, though issues relating to menopause are not significantly focused on, and the result of this is that the awareness of women of perimenopausal age on menopause is low; in fact, radio is not a significant source of menopause information for them. Deriving from the findings, it was recommended that radio do more to prioritise health information programmes with an emphasis on menopause information, and to achieve this, they could partner with Non-Governmental Organisations as well as the Nigerian Women Affairs Ministry for funding.

Reflection of Immigration, Alienation, and Identity Crisis in Kiran Desai’s The Inheritance of Loss: A Saga of “Middle of Nowhere”
Authors: Reshu Shukla  
Published: June 2023

The Inheritance of Loss, written by Kiran Desai, won the 2006 Man Booker Prize. The book thoroughly explains the modern problems brought on by globalisation and technological advancement, followed by the escalating perceptions of economic disparities, diversity, fanaticism, and rationalism as the main contemporary survival threats. Kiran Desai has accurately captured the state of homelessness, alienation, estrangement, marginalisation, and lack of belongingness that immigrants face in both foreign countries as well as in their own countries in the name of class-culture disparities. The novel tells the story of people from various backgrounds battling social norms while being stigmatised by their caste, class, culture, and country. It depicts post-globalization effects, which have ironically had a greater impact on the segment of society known as the middle class, further divided into the higher middle class and lower middle class, despite having made notable changes in the world spectrum in various aspects. The novelist has amazingly succeeded in portraying the negative aspects of the ongoing changes occurring on all levels, regardless of geographic borders, in the technical, economic, social, cultural, and ethical spheres.
New York city, one of the two major locations of the plot, happens to be home to a large population of legal and unauthorised immigrants from various ‘Third World Nations’, and the other is Kalimpong, a small Indian town at the base of Mount Kanchenjunga in the north-eastern Himalayas, which is shown to be experiencing political unrest in the middle of the 1980s following the launch of the liberation movement by the Indian Nepalese. Kiran Desai has effectively depicted the effects of the Gorkha movement of the time, linking it to the main plot. The purpose of this paper is to study the novel's extensive treatment of the themes of home, homeland, alienation, immigration, identity crisis, and above all, the pain of isolation in the shadow of belongingness.

Published: June 2023

Context.—
Thalassemia is the most widely distributed monogenic autosomal recessive disorder in the world. Accurate genetic analysis of thalassemia is crucial for thalassemia prevention.

Objective.—
To compare the clinical utility of a third-generation sequencing–based approach termed comprehensive analysis of thalassemia alleles with routine polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in genetic analysis of thalassemia and explore the molecular spectrum of thalassemia in Hunan Province.

Design.—
Subjects in Hunan Province were recruited, and hematologic testing was performed. Five hundred four subjects positive on hemoglobin testing were then used as the cohort, and third-generation sequencing and routine PCR were used for genetic analysis.

Results.—
Of the 504 subjects, 462 (91.67%) had the same results, whereas 42 (8.33%) exhibited discordant results between the 2 methods. Sanger sequencing and PCR testing confirmed the results of third-generation sequencing. In total, third-generation sequencing correctly detected 247 subjects with variants, whereas PCR identified 205, which showed an increase in detection of 20.49%. Moreover, α triplications were identified in 1.98% (10 of 504) hemoglobin testing–positive subjects in Hunan Province. Seven hemoglobin variants with potential pathogenicity were detected in 9 hemoglobin testing–positive subjects.

Conclusions.—
Third-generation sequencing is a more comprehensive, reliable, and efficient approach for genetic analysis of thalassemia than PCR, and allowed for a characterization of the thalassemia spectrum in Hunan Province.
Pathology Residents’ Perceptions and Attitudes Toward Breast Pathology: A National Survey
Authors: Harper Erika M. , Henderson-Jackson Evita , Rosa Marilin 
Published: June 2023

Context.—
Breast pathology (BP) is considered to be subject to interobserver variability among pathologists, emphasizing the need for adequate training. However, specifics of BP residency training have not been elucidated.

Objective.—
To assess the characteristics of BP residency training in the United States.

Design.—
A Qualtrics-managed online survey was emailed to program directors of all US pathology residency programs, requesting them to forward the survey link to their pathology residents.

Results.—
One hundred seventeen residents’ survey responses were evaluable. Most responses (92; 79%) came from residents in university hospital–based programs. Thirty-five respondents (30%) had a dedicated BP rotation in their program. Most respondents believed that BP was an important part of training (96 of 100; 96%) and pathology practice (95 of 100; 95%). Seventy-one respondents believed that their BP training was adequate overall (71 of 100; 71%). Forty-one percent of respondents indicated that they would not like BP to be a significant part of their future practice. The main reasons given were that they had a different preferred area of interest, that they lacked interest in BP, or that breast cases were time-consuming to sign out.

Conclusions.—
Our results show that in the United States, most programs do not offer a dedicated BP rotation, but breast cases are signed out by subspecialized or experienced breast pathologists. In addition, most respondents believed that they received adequate training and would be competent to independently sign out BP in the future. Additional studies addressing new-in-practice pathologists’ proficiency in BP will further help elucidate the quality of BP training in the United States.
Updates in Immunohistochemistry for Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Neoplasms
Authors: Kavus Haluk , Ding Yi , Dhesi Mary 
Published: June 2023

Context.—
In their 2014 article “New Immunohistochemistry for B-cell Lymphoma and Hodgkin Lymphoma,” Zhang and Aguilera reviewed new immunohistochemical markers for B-cell lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma and described how to use these markers for correct lymphoma diagnoses, using the 2008 World Health Organization classifications. Recently, the World Health Organization’s WHO Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues published 2022 updates, and, in quick sequence, a second group published an alternative International Consensus Classification of myeloid neoplasms, acute leukemias, and mature lymphoid neoplasms. Regardless of the system a hematopathologist chooses to follow, updates in the immunohistochemical diagnosis of disease are described in both publications as well as in the primary literature. In addition to updated classifications, the increasing use of small biopsy samples for the evaluation of lymphadenopathy continues to challenge hematopathology diagnosis and increase the utilization of immunohistochemistry.

Objective.—
To review new immunohistochemical markers or new uses of previously known immunohistochemical markers in the evaluation of hematolymphoid neoplasia for the practicing hematopathologist.

Data Sources.—
Data were obtained from a literature review and personal practice experience.

Conclusions.—
The practicing hematopathologist requires knowledge of the ever-expanding repertoire of immunohistochemistry for the diagnosis and treatment of hematolymphoid neoplasia. New markers presented in this article help to complete our understanding of disease, diagnosis, and management.
An Investigation of Dark Jokes Translation Strategies in Persian Subtitled Versions of Joker Movie
Authors: Samir Aynaz 
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Humor does travel cross-linguistic and cultural barriers. Humor is a crucial aspect of mass entertainment and intercultural communication. The translation of humor is also a challenging task for translators as they should have sufficient knowledge of the source and target languages to comprehend the context of the situation. Regardless of the growing interest in Audiovisual Translation, subtitling humor, particularly dark jokes, in movies remains on the periphery of translation studies. This study aimed to determine the strategies used by Iranian translators in subtitling dark jokes in movies based on Molina and Albir’s (2008) model.
Methodology: The corpus of the study consisted of a crime and drama film entitled Joker (2019) movie. In the selected movie, 24 dark jokes were identified. To achieve the study objective, two Persian-subtitled versions of the Joker movie were analyzed. The obtained data were described using descriptive statistics (i.e., frequency, percentage) and the Chi-Square test. The obtained results indicated that Amplification, Literal Translation, and Modulation were the most frequently applied strategies in subtitling jokes.
Results: A chi-square test of independence showed that Iranian translators had different strategies in the subtitling of dark jack. Of different employed strategies, the literal translation was the first commonly used strategy.
Conclusion: The research findings can enhance translation students, subtitlers, and fansubbers’ understanding of the subtitling strategies being adopted by translators in subtitling dark jokes in movies.
Effect of Bilingual-Word-List versus Semantic Network Practices on EFL Lexical Competence
Authors: Farrokh Alaee Farnaz 
Published: June 2023

Introduction: The crucial role of lexis over other language elements in language learning prompts the argument of finding the most suitable way to enhance vocabulary learning among the studies in the educational arena. Among various word learning strategies, semantic network practices have received the least attention from researchers. Accordingly, the present follow-up study aimed to touch upon effective vocabulary learning, in general, and compare semantic network practices with the most common learning strategy implemented by EFL learners (learning from bilingual word lists), in particular.
Methodology: The project investigated the effectiveness of the two treatments among 114 EFL university students of both genders who were assigned to two experimental groups to receive the treatments and the third group of 43 EFL learners as the control group. Word Associates Test (WAT) and Original Levels Test (OLT) were administered as pre-tests to research subjects. The participants in experimental groups received four pamphlets every other week. After eight weeks, the WAT and OLT were re-administered to the same sample as the post-tests to check the effect of the treatments on the breadth and depth of vocabulary knowledge.
Results: The comparative results indicated that both treatments had significant effects on the depth and breadth of vocabulary knowledge. The obtained results of the post-tests revealed the stronger role of semantic network practices on the depth of vocabulary knowledge than bilingual word lists. The comparisons of the mean scores of synonyms and collocations of WAT post-test in experimental groups indicated that class A (an experimental group who received sematic network practices) significantly outperformed class B (an experimental group who received bilingual word lists) in collocations.
Conclusion: The study concluded that the FL learners’ mastery of new vocabulary knowledge is possible through obtaining a deep understanding of the acquired words.

Authors: Jalilzadeh Kaveh , Chalak Azizeh , Sabzehparvar Alireza 
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Positive psychology has been a buzzword in language learning and teaching practices recently. Among different concepts, grit, a tendency to maintain stamina to tackle long-term challenges, has received significant but inadequate consideration. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the role of grit in learning English as a foreign language (EFL) by Iranian, Turkish, and Iraqi learners.
Methodology: Using a non-experimental and descriptive design, the present study explored three cohorts from Iranian, Turkish, and Iraqi learning contexts to compare EFL learners’ grit to examine whether language played a role in their perseverance of effort combined with passion. A total of 684 EFL learners participated in the study from three different cultures. The data for the study were collected via Google form employing the domain-specific L2 grit scale designed by Teimouri et al. (2020).
Results: The findings revealed that Persian learners’ grit in language learning was higher than the other two groups in terms of proficiency level. Moreover, regardless of the EFL learners’ first language, learners at advanced levels had the highest mean, followed by the intermediate and elementary groups. However, there was no significant interaction between the first language and proficiency.
Conclusion: In conclusion, grit can act as a strong predictor of EFL learners’ achievement as their level of English proficiency increases. The findings could benefit material developers and teachers and help them consider grit as a predictor of achievement for EFL learners.
Developing the Speaking Ability of EFL Learners through Scaffolding
Authors: Pishadast Azam 
Published: June 2023

Introduction: The role of productive skills in social interactions is becoming more and more evident in modern communities. This study aimed to determine the effect of scaffolding on EFL learners’ speaking skills.
Methodology: A total of 60 EFL students were recruited in the current study. The subjects were divided into two equal groups, namely experimental and control. Teaching speaking in the experimental group was centered on activities that offered the most aid to the students. To enhance their motivation, they were given tunes, a casual setting, and the opportunity to converse while taking turns and waiting. The control group attended a regular speaking class.
Results: After conducting the pre-tests and post-tests, it was found that scaffolding could significantly improve EFL learners’ foreign language speaking skills. Scaffolding was beneficial to language learning as it aided the learning process by providing learners with linguistic support in genuine circumstances, linking their prior knowledge to the texts, and promoting interaction among learners.
Conclusion: Based on the findings, EFL teachers are encouraged to employ digital games in a flipped instruction mode to enhance EFL learners’ willingness to communicate.
