Authors: Bilgi Tuğçe , Eraldemir Tuyan Seden 
Published: August 2023

Introduction. The education sector has been severely affected by the pandemic caused by the sudden outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), despite the preventive measures taken and innovations brought to mitigate its effects.
Purpose. This study investigated the impact of alienation experienced by EFL teachers as a result of obligatory social distancing that has become the new normal because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, it was determined whether gender, educational level, institution type, and years of experience in the profession were among the active determinants of work alienation.
Methods. A mixed-method approach was adopted for this study. Quantitative data were collected using the Work Alienation scale, completed by 160 EFL teachers working at public and private schools in Mersin, Turkey. Qualitative data were gathered from the responses of 18 teachers within the survey group. The data collected from the scale were analysed, and the data from the open-ended survey were coded and classified into three themes.
Results. The findings indicated that EFL teachers experienced low levels of work alienation during the pandemic, and the survey data provided thought-provoking examples of the damage caused by the pandemic. Although no significant differences were identified in alienation based on gender, institution type, and educational level, significant differences based on the years of experience were found in the powerlessness, meaninglessness, and isolation subscales, whereby teachers with 1–5 years of experience endured a higher level of work alienation than those with more experience.
Conclusion. The findings of the study not only raise awareness regarding the importance of providing guidance to EFL teachers during the pandemic but also raise concerns about their wellbeing and digital literacy.
Novice Russian Research Writing: Prepositions and Prepositional Phrases
Authors: Shpit Elena I. , McCarthy Philip M. 
Published: August 2023

Background: The research writing of novice Russian authors tend to be markedly different from that of expert academic writers from other countries. More specifically, Russian student writing has been characterized as wordy, difficult to comprehend, syntactically complex, and excessive in terms of nominalisation. One of the main manifestations of these characteristics is the deployment of a large number of prepositions and prepositional phrases.
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the causes of this excessive use of prepositions in Russian student writing and to provide suggestions for improvement.
Methods: The quantitative analysis evaluates two self-compiled corpora using the computational linguistics tool Gramulator. The first corpus consists of published research papers written by international scholars of radio engineering. The second corpus comprises first drafts of research papers written by Russian graduate and postgraduate students majoring in radio engineering. The final qualitative analysis focuses largely on the student corpus.
Results: The seven most common writing features identified were as follows: excessive of-phrases, nouns/verbal nouns instead of gerunds, nouns instead of infinitives of purpose, nominalized structures instead of relative clauses, ‘strong noun + weak verb’ structures instead of ‘strong’ verbs, grammatical errors, and repetitions. Each of these features is discussed and followed by suggestions that may help both reduce the excessive number of prepositions and prepositional phrases and improve other important features of the text.
Implications: The results of this study are of interest to academic writing instructors as well as the developers of teaching materials and automated evaluation tools.
Modeling the Association between EFL Instructors’ Foreign Language Teaching Enjoyment and Humor Styles
Authors: Solhi Mehdi , Elahi Shirvan Majid 
Published: August 2023

Background: Positive psychology in the field of applied linguistics has recently shifted its focus from L2 learners to L2 teachers as teachers have been revealed to be a pivotal external affordance for the emergence of learners’ positive emotions such as enjoyment. Exploring the link between teacher-related constructs can provide deep insights into L2 teachers’ emotional agency within L2 classroom context.
Purpose: The current study seeks to examine the association between English as a foreign language (EFL) instructors’ enjoyment of foreign language teaching (i.e., personal enjoyment, student appreciation, and social enjoyment) and humor styles (i.e., self-enhancing, affiliative, aggressive, and self-defeating humor styles).
Materials and Methods: In order to examine this association, 244 (151 males and 93 females) Turkish EFL instructors voluntarily completed self-report scales measuring their foreign language teaching enjoyment and humor styles.
Results: Results of the structural equation modeling (SEM) indicated that higher levels of student appreciation and social enjoyment are correlated with higher levels of affiliative and self-enhancing humor. In addition, greater degrees of personal enjoyment, student appreciation, and social enjoyment are correlated with lower levels of aggressive humor, while self-defeating humor was unrelated to any of the enjoyment indices. There was also no significant gender difference for any humor styles.
Conclusion: The findings are discussed in view of implications for teacher well-being.
The relationship between the perception and knowledge of academic vocabulary among EFL and EMI university students
Authors: Makovskaya Liliya , Juraeva Ijobat 
Published: August 2023

Background. Academic vocabulary is considered an essential component in the English language courses in higher education establishments. A number of studies have illustrated that the use of academic words in students’ work alone cannot always promise high grades, since students’ opinion about the importance of academic words can also have an influence on their knowledge and use.
Purpose. The research aims to determine the relationship between the vocabulary level of learners and their beliefs about the importance of academic words at the tertiary level.
Methods. For this study, the first and third-year students (N=440) in two Uzbek universities completed a beliefs questionnaire to rate their perceptions of the significance of academic words in improving reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills in academia. The participants were also administered a vocabulary knowledge test to estimate their receptive dimension.
Results. The findings demonstrate that EMI students scored higher on the vocabulary test than EFL students and show that students’ perceptions of the significance of academic words changed in all four skills from the first to third year of study.
Conclusion. The article explores trends that emerged in the data and raises awareness for EAP teachers concerning the assumptions about students’ needs for vocabulary development based on learners’ perceptions and knowledge.
Research Article Introductions in Applied Linguistics: A Comparative Study on the Use of Appeals
Authors: Arianto M. Affandi , Haq Maulluddul , Jufrizal Jufrizal 
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Although extensive studies have been carried out on the rhetorical structure of research article introduction (RAI), centrality as a promotional strategy has received very little attention.
Purpose: To address this lacuna in research literature, this study investigates centrality claims and how the appeals are realized strategically and linguistically.
Materials and Methods: 60 RAIs from three-corpora, i.e., 20 English L1 corpus (written by native authors in English), 20 English FL Corpus (written by Indonesian authors in English), and 20 Indonesian L1 corpus (written by Indonesian authors in Indonesian Language), in the field of applied linguistics (AL) were analyzed. The analysis started from the step of claiming centrality found in the authors’ RAIs using the Swales’ (1990) framework. Wang and Yang’s (2015) framework was used to identify the types of appeals in the claiming centrality.
Results: This study indicates that the three groups of authors use four types of appeals, namely the appeal to salience, magnitude, topicality, and problematicity. The appeals appear in varied ways, i.e., referring to the research world and the real world. Although application of each appeal in the step of claiming centrality is relatively different in the three groups, some share similarities in using the appeals in terms of referring to the research world and the real world.
Conclusion: This study provides pedagogical implications for teaching academic writing, particularly in writing research articles for publication.
Multilingualism and Beyond: Implications for Education
Authors: Raitskaya Lilia , Tikhonova Elena 
Published: August 2023

Introduction: The JLE editors explore multilingual perspectives in language learning, education, and society, as compared with mono- and bilingual perspectives. The notion of a separate language system turned out to be far from today’s multilingual communications. The approaches to multiple language learning have dramatically changed towards multilingualism. The editorial review aims to consider the potential of the field for the JLE.
Basic Terminology and Definitions: the JLE editors dwell upon the key terms applicable to the field of multilingualism, including multilingualism on its own, plurilingualism, bilingualism, multilinguality, polylingualism, metrolingualism, heteroglossia, and linguistic repertoire.
Research on Multilingualism and beyond: in this section, the JLE readers can find a short review of the research publications on multilingualism, bilingualism, plurilingualism, and linguistic repertoire indexed in the Scopus database.
Conclusion: multilingualism as a research field has a perspective for the Journal of Language and Education. Multilingualism is a many-faceted field, developing rather fast. Research on multilingualism may enrich the scope of the JLE and attract new readers.

Published: August 2023

Amaç
Hasta cildi patojen mikroorganizmalar için majör bir
kaynaktır. Cerrahi öncesinde, cilt temizliğinin antiseptiklerle
yapılarak bu patojenlerin cerrahi alandan uzaklaştırılması
standart bir yöntemdir. Klorheksidin glukonat
(KG) ve Povidon iyot (Pİ) bu amaç için önerilen
iki farklı antiseptiktir. Bu antiseptiklerin kontamine cerrahilerdeki
etkinliğini gösteren çok sayıda çalışma olmasına
rağmen, temiz cerrahilerdeki etkinliğini bildiren
çalışmalar kısıtlıdır. Bu çalışmada, temiz cerrahi olan
primer total diz artroplastisinde klorheksidin glukonatın
cerrahi alan enfeksiyonuna etkinliğinin povidon iyot ile
karşılaştırılması amaçlandı.
Gereç ve Yöntem
Cerrahi alan cilt temizliğinde KG (110 hasta) ve Pİ
(135 hasta) kullanılan toplam 245 primer total diz artroplastisi
hastasının verileri incelendi. Hastalar kullanılan
antiseptiğe göre KG grubu ve Pİ grubu olarak 2
gruba ayrıldı. Grupların demografik özellikleri benzerdi
(p>0,05). KG grubunda, cerrahi alandan cerrahi öncesi
ve sonrasında alınan sürüntü örnekleri mikrobiyolojik
olarak incelendi ve çalışmanın birincil sonucu
olarak KG’nin cerrahi alan asepsisine anlık etkinliği
değerlendirildi. Her iki grupta cerrahi alanda gelişen
enfeksiyon komplikasyonu; yüzeyel enfeksiyon (minör
komplikasyon) ve derin enfeksiyon (majör komplikasyon)
olarak kaydedildi. Çalışmanın ikincil sonucu olarak
cerrahi alan komplikasyonları her iki grup arasında
karşılaştırıldı.
Bulgular
KG kullanılmadan önce cerrahi alandan alınan sürüntü
örneklerinin hepsinde en az bir patojen mikroorganizma
ürerken, KG kullanıldıktan sonra alınan sürüntü
örneklerinin hiçbirinde üreme olmadı. KG ve Pİ grubunda
cerrahi alan komplikasyonları sırasıyla; minör
komplikasyonlar (%4,54 ve %5,18) ve majör komplikasyonlar
(%0,9 ve %1,8) olarak bulundu. Minör ve
majör komplikasyonlar açısından gruplar arasında
istatistiksel anlamlı fark bulunmadı (p>0,05). Çalışmanın
birincil sonucunda, primer total diz artroplastisinde
klorheksidin glukonat kullanıldığında cerrahi alanda
tam bir asepsi oluşturmaktadır ve ikincil sonuç olarak
cerrahi alan enfeksiyonuna etkinliği açısından klorheksidin
glukonatın povidon iyot ile karşılaştırılmasında
gruplar arasında fark olmadığı sonucu elde edildi.
Sonuç
Bu çalışma temiz cerrahi olan primer total diz artroplastisinde
antiseptiklerin etkinliğini değerlendiren nadir
çalışmalardan biridir. Primer total diz artroplastisinde
klorheksidin glukonat kullanıldığında cerrahi alanda
tam bir asepsi oluşturmaktadır ve cerrahi alan enfeksiyonunu
önlemede povidon iyot gibi etkindir.

Authors: Karimi Abbas , Garajei Ata , Nazari Hesam , Emami Azadeh 
Published: August 2023

Background: Microscopically, oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) spreads more than the gross tumor. Thus it is recommended to resect the tumor with a proper safe margin. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correspondence between clinical and histopathological margins in oral SCC.
Methods: Samples were collected from patients diagnosed as oral SCC and referred to Iran Cancer Institute on 2015. All margins of tumors were determined by a marker and then the tumors were resected with 1cm safe margin. The superior, inferior, left and right borders were marked and examined microscopically. The lowest distance between tumor cells and border of resected tissue was considered as pathological margin. The cases with pathological margin less or more than 5 millimeters were classified as close and free margin group, respectively.
Results: forty-four specimens (20 females and 24 males), definitely diagnosed as SCC, were examined. The mean age was 61 years old. 19 cases (43.2%) were in the mandible; 23 cases (52.3%) in the tongue and 2 cases (4.5%) in the maxilla. 16 cases (38.4%) were free margin and 28 cases (63.6%) were close margin and the mean pathological margin was 3.52mm.
Conclusion: for some cases, especially SCCs of the mandible, 1-centimeter margin is not adequate to achieve free margins, thus evaluating tumor location, size and stage for more resection seems worthwhile and advisable and can decrease the risk of relapse after resection.

Published: August 2023

Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) is an herbal plant that has many benefits as a treatment, including during the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the mechanisms of inhibition of SARS CoV-2 is to inhibit the attachment of ACE2 with Spike. The binding of the spike protein to the ACE2 receptor will produce conformational changes in the S protein, this study was conducted using an in silico method (computational analysis) which aims to determine the potential efficacy of Turmeric and its effectiveness in inhibiting the Delta variant of SARS CoV-2. The active compound contained in Turmeric (Curcuma longa L. ) obtained from the KNApSAcK database To determine compounds that can have potential and have good effectiveness in inhibition of the Delta Variant of SARS CoV-2, an analysis was carried out by looking at the binding energy and conformation changes that occur at the sticky point in each compound. Three-dimensional structure of SARS CoV-2 Varian Delta downloaded from the Protein Data Bank with PDB code 7V8B. Based on the analysis carried out, it was found that the compound (E)-nuciferoll has the lowest binding energy value of -1212.59 kcal / mol and is located at the initial attachment but cannot change the conformation, but from the sticky point of the compound (E)-nuciferol lies in the initial attachment of RBD-ACE2.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
The safe and efficient operation of carbon dioxide (CO2) pipelines is essential for compliance with federal regulations and the operational safety of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) projects. In this study, we aim to gain insights into the hydraulic conditions and CO2 phase changes during fullbore rupture and investigate the potential of using pipe-in-pipe configuration to achieve better CO2 plume containment during this pressure loss event.
In this study, we modeled high-concentration CO2 with less than 1% impurities using a pressure-enthalpy flashing routine. We applied the transient multiphase flow analysis to model the CO2 pipeline midpoint fullbore rupture to the atmosphere to predict temperature, pressure, and fluid thermodynamic properties within the pipeline. Key results such as pipe bore temperature profile change over time on either side of the rupture, the minimum temperature locations, and the time to return to ambient temperature were extracted to understand the risk and impact on the pipeline integrity because of the CO2 pipeline rupture. Then the investigation of the use of eccentric pipe-in-pipe systems for hydraulic changes in the event of a pipeline rupture was carried out. Based on the results, the potential of using the casing pipe to contain the leaked CO2 and prevent CO2 plumes from escaping into the atmosphere was explored.

Abstract
One of the critical challenges of the green energy transition is resolving the mismatch between energy generation provided by intermittent renewable energy sources such as solar and wind and the demand for energy. There is a need for large amounts of energy storage over a range of time scales (diurnal to seasonal) to better balance energy supply and demand. Subsurface geologic reservoirs provide the potential for storage of hot water that can be retrieved when needed and used for power generation or direct-use applications, such as district heating. It is important to identify potential issues associated with high-temperature reservoir thermal energy storage (HT-RTES) systems so that they can be mitigated, thus reducing the risks of these systems. This paper reviews past experiences from moderate and high-temperature reservoir thermal energy storage (RTES) projects, along with hot water and steam flood enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations, to identify technical challenges encountered and evaluate possible ways to address them. Some of the identified technical problems that have impacted system performance include: 1) insufficient site characterization that failed to identify reservoir heterogeneity; 2) scaling resulting from precipitation of minerals having retrograde solubility that form with heating of formation brines; 3) corrosion from low pH or high salinity brines; 4) thermal breakthrough between hot and cold wells due to insufficient spacing. Proper design, characterization, construction, and operational practices can help reduce the risk of technical problems that could lead to reduced performance of these thermal energy storage systems.

Abstract
Climate hazards pose increased threats to development outcomes across the world’s coastal regions by impacting infrastructure service delivery. Using a high-resolution dataset of 8.2 million households in Bangladesh's coastal zone, we assess the extent to which infrastructure service disruptions, induced by flood, cyclone, and erosion hazards, can thwart progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Results show that climate hazards potentially threaten infrastructure service access to all households, with the poorest being disproportionately threatened in 68% of coastal sub-districts. Targeting adaptation to these climatic threats in one-third (33%) of the most vulnerable areas could help to safeguard 50-85% of achieved progress towards SDG 3, 4, 7, 8, and 13 indicators. These findings illustrate the potential of geospatial climate risk and adaptation analyses, which incorporate direct household exposure and essential service access. High-resolution analysis is becoming feasible even in data-scarce parts of the world, helping decision-makers target and prioritise pro-poor development interventions.
