Authors: Dudău Diana Paula , Chitez Madalina , Sava Florin Alin 
Published: January 2025

IntroductionDespite growing global interest in the emotional dimensions of academic writing, Romanian academic discourse remains underexplored, particularly in multilingual contexts. This study addresses this gap by analyzing a bilingual corpus of texts written in Romanian (L1) and English (L2) across various disciplines and genres. It aims to uncover emotional dimensions conveyed through linguistic markers, exploring how language, culture, and academic context shape students’ writing styles. Romania’s historical and social emphasis on formality, hierarchy, and indirectness in communication serves as a backdrop for examining these dynamics.MethodA corpus-based approach was adopted, utilizing the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count 2015 (LIWC2015) tool to analyze linguistic and emotional markers. The bilingual ROGER corpus, containing texts from nine Romanian universities spanning multiple disciplines and genres, served as the dataset. Advanced data analysis techniques included supervised machine learning for language classification, network analysis to explore interactions among linguistic features, and cluster analysis to detect discipline- and genre-specific linguistic patterns.ResultsThe findings reveal distinct emotional patterns between Romanian and English academic writing. Romanian texts exhibit a higher degree of formality and indirectness, while English texts reflect greater assertiveness and personal engagement. Additionally, the Romanian corpus demonstrates less linguistic cohesion and a broader range of writing styles. Genre- and discipline-specific trends also emerge, with English coursework and analytical writing, predominantly from social sciences, displaying more personal and emotional expression than research-focused texts. In contrast, the Romanian corpus, characterized by a third cluster, presents less clear-cut patterns: humanities texts span both emotionally expressive and neutral tones, while research and academic papers frequently exhibit an achievement-oriented or entrepreneurial style, though a significant subset also reflects a highly disengaged profile.DiscussionBy integrating machine learning, network analysis, and automatic language analysis, this study offers a novel perspective on how language, genre, and discipline-specific conventions shape emotional expression in academic writing. The results suggest that the Romanian students’ emotional personas in academic writing are influenced by all these factors, potentially shaped by the cultural norms of the second language, providing insights for teaching academic writing in multilingual settings.

Published: January 2025

IntroductionTranscranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a common treatment for depression, particularly in patients unresponsive to conventional therapies. High-frequency (10 Hz), low-frequency (1 Hz), or bilateral (left, high-frequency; right, low-frequency) stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has been demonstrated to be effective in studies based on prefrontal asymmetry theory, which suggests that depression is associated with reduced left frontal function and increased right frontal function. However, few reliable predictors or biomarkers are available for personalizing treatment protocols on the basis of a patient’s brain function. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), a noninvasive neuroimaging tool that assesses functional changes in the brain during cognitive tasks, can measure a patient’s bilateral frontal lobe function in real time. Thus, this tool can aid the development of personalized TMS protocols for patients with depression.MethodsA 19-year-old woman presented to our psychiatric clinic with bipolar depression. NIRS was performed to select an appropriate TMS protocol for the patient. A verbal fluency test revealed bilateral low frontal lobe function. Thus, we selected a TMS protocol involving 10 sessions of bilateral high-frequency stimulation over 4 days, with each session delivering 3000 pulses on each side of the DLPFC.ResultsBefore treatment, the patient’s scores on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Young Mania Rating Scale were 40, 57, 40, and 6, respectively. After treatment, her depressive symptoms substantially improved, with HAMD, BDI, and BAI scores decreasing to 17, 21, and 14, respectively. Although the treatment led to side effects such as dizziness and headache, these effects resolved after the treatment. At the 6-month follow-up, the patient’s condition was still stable, with HAMD, BDI, and BAI scores of 10, 13, and 7, respectively.ConclusionOur case suggests that NIRS can guide the selection of appropriate TMS protocols for patients with bipolar depression. Although our findings are promising, further randomized controlled trials are needed to validate the efficacy and safety of and determine the optimal parameters for this approach.

ObjectivesThis study examines the impact of social media-based education on health literacy status, self-care, and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D).MethodThis educational intervention study was carried out from March 2022 to June 2022 on diabetic patients visiting the diabetes clinic in Arak, Iran. The patients split into two groups: the virtual education group (n = 38) using the Telegram messaging platform and the control group (n = 38). Patients in the virtual education group received multimedia messages about T2D daily for 4 weeks. Data analysis utilized SPSS version 23 and statistical tests.ResultsThe results of this study showed that the overall score of health literacy and the dimensions of reading, understanding, and evaluation were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group (p &lt; 0.05). However, the score for the access dimension did not show a significant difference between the two groups (p &gt; 0.05). The Wilcoxon test results indicated that the average HbA1c score significantly decreased in the intervention group before and after the intervention. However, these changes were not significant in the control group. Nevertheless, the Mann–Whitney test did not indicate a significant statistical difference between the groups regarding the average HbA1c score before and after the intervention (p &gt; 0.05).ConclusionThe findings of this study suggest that social networks provide a suitable platform for delivering self-care education to individuals with T2D. Furthermore, in the long term, it might positively impact the patients’ HbA1c levels. Future studies with larger sample sizes can be beneficial in this area.

IntroductionBefore implementing a new health care strategy, it is important to assess effectiveness but also to perform an economic evaluation. The goal of the present study was to perform a comparative economic evaluation of a new strategy aimed at using proposed implementation of the Plateletworks guidance (measurement of platelet function) with usual practice (delayed time to surgery) in patients on chronic antiplatelet treatment and scheduled for surgery with neuraxial anaesthesia due to proximal femur fracture.MethodsThis is an economic evaluation carried out alongside a randomised controlled clinical trial at four centres in Spain. Patients were randomised to undergo either early platelet function-guided surgery (experimental group) or delayed surgery (control group). As AFFEcT trial results demonstrated significative difference between groups in the primary efficacy endpoint, the median time to surgery, a cost-effectiveness analysis was performed. Direct costs associated with hospitalisation until one-month post-discharge were considered and measured from a hospital perspective. All costs were reported in euros. Analyses were performed on a per protocol basis. Effectiveness outcome measures were the incremental cost and incremental cost per reduction in days to surgery. A deterministic sensitivity analysis was implemented to quantify uncertainty.ResultsA total of 156 patients were randomized to the two groups (n = 78 per group). A total of 143 patients were included in the per protocol population (75 and 68 patients in the experimental and control groups, respectively). The median time to surgery was 2.30 days (IQR: 1.53–3.73) in the experimental group and 4.87 days (4.36–5.60) in the control group (a reduction of 2.40 days). Total costs during the 1-month study perioperative period were higher in the delayed surgery group (€18,495.19) than for the early surgery group (€16,497.59). The incremental cost was negative (€1,997.60), a statistically significant difference (P &lt; 0.05). As measured by the reduction in time (days) to surgery, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) for early surgery was negative (777.28€/day). Sensitivity analysis demonstrated consistent cost saving.ConclusionFor patients on chronic antiplatelet treatment scheduled to undergo surgery for proximal femur fracture, an individualised strategy guided by a platelet function testing is a cost-saving and cost-effective strategy.

IntroductionHeating tobacco products (HTPs) are advanced electronic cigarette models. Classified by the FDA as a modified-risk tobacco product and can be used as part of efforts to quit smoking. Using heat-not-burn (HnB) technology, these devices heat tobacco avoiding complete combustion. Although the levels of toxicants in the mainstream are significantly lower than those observed in tobacco smoke, some recent studies have raised concerns about potential health risks associated with their use, particularly regarding their effects on male gonadal function, which remain largely unexplored.MethodsAdult male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed, whole body, 5 days/week for 4 weeks to HnB mainstream.ResultsThe expression of the cell cycle regulators Bax/Bcl-2 ratio is not affected, along with no changes in p-38. On the other hand, an increase in oxidative stress markers, including those associated with DNA damage, was observed in exposed animals, along with the induction of NF-kB dependent pro-inflammatory mediators: TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and COX-2. Furthermore, inactivation of key androgenic enzymes, such as 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, together with decreased testosterone synthesis suggest a potential impairment of male gonadal function.DiscussionThe results indicate that animals exposed to HnB smoke show higher levels of oxidative stress markers, including those associated with DNA damage, as well as higher levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The impairment of some androgenic key enzymes and those related to the activity of seminiferous epithelium, together with the decrease in testosterone levels, suggest an impairment of gonadal function through the alteration of some cellular pathways typically associated with tobacco consumption.

IntroductionThis study explores the complex experiences of Spanish-speaking swine caretakers with euthanasia, focusing on mental health, stress, burnout, and the impact of cultural factors.MethodsWe conducted qualitative focus groups with Spanish-speaking swine caretakers from multiple farms, gathering insights from individuals with varying levels of experience and cultural backgrounds. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key factors influencing the euthanasia process.ResultsThe study found that caretaker stress and burnout, exacerbated by the “caring-killing paradox,” significantly affect emotional wellbeing. Factors such as the frequency of euthanasia, level of knowledge and education, and cultural background were identified as influential. Caretakers performing euthanasia frequently showed signs of desensitization, while those with less experience experienced higher emotional distress. Cultural background influenced attitudes and decision-making regarding euthanasia.DiscussionThis research underscores the need for mental health support and culturally sensitive training programs for swine caretakers. The findings align with existing literature on occupational stress and burnout and highlight the importance of comprehensive support systems. Future research should further examine the psychological impact of euthanasia across diverse agricultural settings and develop targeted interventions to support caretakers' mental health and improve animal welfare practices.

Published: January 2025

BackgroundAngiogenesis is closely associated with tumor growth and metastasis, and microvascular density (MVD) is currently the clinical standard for evaluating tumor angiogenesis. Thus, the detection of intratumoral MVD is of great significance for understanding disease progression and predicting patient prognosis.MethodsTumor tissue sections of 238 patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) who underwent radical surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was carried out using a CD34 polyclonal antibody to determine intratumoral MVD, and the relationship of CD34-MVD with the clinicopathological characteristics and survival time of LUAD patients was analyzed.ResultsCD34-MVD was associated with tumor size, lymph node metastasis, tumor recurrence, and patient survival status; patients with tumor size ≤3 cm (P = 0.015), negative for lymph node metastasis (P = 0.049), no tumor recurrence (P = 0.021), and survival (P = 0.042) had higher MVD. Survival analysis suggested that patients with high MVD had higher disease-free survival (log-rank P = 0.005) and overall survival (log-rank P = 0.004) compared to patients with low MVD. The Cox proportional hazards model showed that a high MVD (P = 0.022) reduced the risk of postoperative tumor recurrence in patients with LUAD.ConclusionDecreased intratumoral CD34 positive microvessels were associated with tumor development in patients with LUAD. CD34-MVD is an independent risk factor affecting postoperative tumor recurrence in patients with LUAD and can be used as a prognostic indicator for this group of patients.

The role of pre-transplant hypoalbuminemia and its impact on post-transplant outcomes in patients undergoing simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation remains unclear. We analyzed all SPK recipients at our center, who had at least 2 weeks of pancreas and kidney graft survival and had serum albumin measured within 45 days pre-transplant. Recipients were categorized based on pretransplant albumin level as normal (≥4.0 g/dL, N = 222, 42%), mild hypoalbuminemia (≥3.5–&lt;4.0 g/dL, N = 190, 36%), and moderate hypoalbuminemia (&lt;3.5 g/dL, N = 120, 23%). Kidney delayed graft function (DGF), length of stay (LOS) after transplant, re-hospitalization within 30 days after discharge, and need for a return to the operating room (OR) related to transplant surgical complications, acute rejection, and uncensored and death-censored graft failure, within the first years post-transplant were outcomes of interest. A total of 532 SPK recipients were included. Mild or moderate hypoalbuminemia was not associated with DGF, LOS, re-hospitalization, or return to the OR in unadjusted or adjusted analyses. Similarly, mild or moderate hypoalbuminemia was not associated with a risk of graft rejection or graft failure. Among SPK recipients, pre-transplant hypoalbuminemia was not associated with worse outcomes and should not be the determining factor in selecting patients for SPK transplant.

Recently the refractory industry adopted the necessity for controlling ambient curing temperatures during all processing steps of refractory­concrete installation.
The literature review of a temperature influence on the mixing, placement and strength development of calcium aluminate phosphate cement (CAPC) was conducted. As a result of analyzing the literature, it was shown that ambient temperatures of 20 to 27 ºС coincide with the temperature range exhibiting the greatest changes in hydration products, setting time, and strength development. A change of only 5 ºС in curing temperature in this range will produce significant changes in bond structure and physical properties of refractory binders such as alumina cement (AC), high alumina cement (HAC) and CAPC. Preconditioning, mixing, and placement temperatures of up to 27 ºС are the most favorable for providing low H2O requirements and consistently long working times which favor the formation of flaw­free refractory cast installations.
The refractory concretes dried and fired strengths developing is critically dependent on the use of the necessary amount of casting H2O required by the specific method of placement to assure installation of a sound lining having minimum structural defects; proper curing conditions to provide development of the desired phases to maximize structural integrity. The good thermal­shock resistance (15 cycles of heating to 1300 ºС and cooling in water) obtained on the CAPC­bonded corundum compositions emanating from their volume stability along with compressive strength 40 MPa and refractoriness 1700 ºС explain their perspective further performance in industry of high temperatures.

Published: January 2025

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the 2013’s movie The Conjuring through Nick Lacey’s Repertoire of Elements and Vladimir Propp’s Narrative Theory. The movie, directed by James Wan, is recognized for its intricate horror narrative and rich character development. By examining the movie’s use of style, iconography, character roles, narrative structure, and setting, this research demonstrated how these elements worked together to create a compelling supernatural experience. Applying Lacey’s theory revealed the movie’s adherence to genre conventions through its dark, atmospheric settings and minimal lighting. Interestingly, the movie did not feature a "false hero", a deviation from Propp's theory, which the movie emphasized the clear moral presented in the story. The absence of this character type suggested a more straightforward narrative focus on the struggle between good and evil, without the complication of betrayal from the protagonist's ranks. In conclusion, The Conjuring Movie's linguistic and visual elements were integral to the movie's ability to engage and terrify its audience. The camera work, lighting, and sound, combined with a well-defined character structure, created a compelling narrative that resonated with viewers, reinforcing the movie's status in the supernatural horror genre.
