Background
Nirmatrelvir/ritonavir was approved for use in high-risk outpatients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, patients with severe CKD were excluded from the phase 3 trial, and the drug is not recommended for those with GFR <30 ml/min per 1.73 m2. On the basis of available pharmacological data, we developed a modified low-dose regimen of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir 300/100 mg on day 1, followed by 150/100 mg daily from day 2 to 5. In this study, we report our experience with this modified dose regimen in dialysis patients in the Canadian province of Ontario.

Methods
We included dialysis patients who developed COVID-19 and were treated with the modified dose nirmatrelvir/ritonavir regimen during a 60-day period between April 1 and May 31, 2022. Details of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir use and outcomes were captured manually, and demographic data were obtained from a provincial database. Data are presented with descriptive statistics. The principal outcomes we describe are 30-day hospitalization, 30-day mortality, and required medication changes with the modified dose regimen.

Results
A total of 134 dialysis patients with COVID-19 received nirmatrelvir/ritonavir during the period of study. Fifty-six percent were men, and the mean age was 64 years. Most common symptoms were cough and/or sore throat (60%). Medication interactions were common with calcium channel blockers, statins being the most frequent. Most patients (128, 96%) were able to complete the course of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir, and none of the patients who received nirmatrelvir/ritonavir died of COVID-19 in the 30 days of follow-up.

Conclusions
A modified dose of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir use was found to be safe and well tolerated, with no serious adverse events being observed in a small sample of maintenance dialysis patients.

Most of Earth’s mosquito-borne illnesses are transmitted by mosquitoes
in one of three genera: Anopheles, Aedes, and Culex. Mosquitos of such
genera are located in all continents but Antarctica and infect millions
of humans with parasitic viruses yearly. However, a special concern is
reserved for Anopheles mosquitoes for their unique ability to carry and
transmit Malaria, a disease that, according to WHO, infects more than
200 million and kills over 500,000 humans annually (Malaria, 2022).
While it is most prevalent in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Central
America, Malaria could soon spread to northern and southern latitudes
with a changing global climate. Therefore, it is crucial to track the
extent of the Anopheles range and identify any changes that could have
detrimental consequences on public health. One way this can be done is
using the NASA GLOBE Observer Mosquito Habitat Mapper (MHM) tool, which
allows global users free access to photograph mosquito larvae, attempt
to identify their genus, and upload said images to a worldwide database
that records the location at which they were taken. While citizen
science data is extremely helpful for mosquito research, it can be
difficult for citizens with minimal training to classify the genus of
their discovered larva correctly. A large portion of mosquito photos
uploaded to the GLOBE MHM database are either unidentified or
misidentified. Therefore, this research paper aims to devise and assess
how the MHM database can be appropriately classified to create an
accurate dataset with all Anopheles larvae photos classified by their
proper genus.Besides being a vector of Malaria, another unique
characteristic of theAnopheles mosquito is the absence of a siphon, so
by scanning for this trait among MHM larvae photographs and noting
positive matches, researchers created a dataset of mosquito larvae that
could become vectors of Malaria as adults (Image Reference #1). This
data set could then be used to train AImodels utilizing Convolutional
Neural Networks (CNN) or VisionTransformers (ViT) to classify the MHM
database autonomously in the near future.

Design and evaluation of intelligent teaching system on basic movements in PE
Authors: Liu Xiaodi 
Published: February 2023

AbstractFor a long time, the situation of students’ learning in physical education (PE) was not optimistic, especially the basic movement learning after class, which lacked effective online learning tools. With the in-depth research of deep neural network and the rapid development of computer hardware, the artificial intelligence technology based on deep learning has performed well in the field of basic teaching. Therefore, in this paper, an intelligent teaching system of basic movements in PE is designed. First, the information of coordinate points is collected according to the Gaussian model, and the pose of students is estimated by OpenPose. Second, the overall architecture and functional modules of the system are designed. Finally, the deviation limbs that affect the standard of overall movements are identified by the matching algorithm, which realises the evaluation and feedback of basic movements in PE. Through this teaching system, teachers can obtain the learning situation of students’ movements, and students can adjust their movements through the feedback, which achieves the convenient interaction of PE teaching.

The Semiotics of Murphy’s Law. Second Part. Theatrical Microunivers. A Semio-Pragmatic Approach
Authors: Chiorean Luminița , Kozak Maria 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
The authors seek to interpret the production/ reception mechanism of the joke through a Linguistic, Logical and Encyclopedic approach of the act of humor. The offer of murphology as a referential document for the argumentation of joke as a ludical act is representative in the theory of the acts of language especially through the social function of laughter.
Each of Murphy’s Law consists of a dialogical de-doubling, with a transmitter provided with linguistic, rhetoric and encyclopedic “savoir” as well as persuasive power on the level of ennounciation and with a receiver (also possessing an interpretive “savoir-faire”, a quality that makes him/her) accede to the hidden meaning of the joke, often presented as a paradox set up by a disorienting isotopy. On the textual level, nevertheless, there is a complice and an innocent, object of the explicit signifiance, both being actors and engaging into various interpretative mechanisms of the meaning (fundamental vs contextual).
The semiotical application of the joke is based on deconstruction, materialized in the opposition between behavioural norm and linguistical norm. The typology of jokes is offered by murphology, opera aperta, in the proper sense, once it receives in its corpus newly experienced laws.
Grey Building Blocks and Brueghel: The Canvas of Romania Painted by Mircea Dinescu
Authors: Chereches Alexandra 
Published: February 2023

Abstract“Prin oraşul păscut de tramvaie / unde grâul e doar musafir” (“In the city cropped by the tramways / where the wheat is only a host”): be it in the urban or the rural space (or in a combination of both), Mircea Dinescu shows the social and political history of Romania with a bittersweet, playful and scathing view. Among his stylistic achievements we can find the creation of a genuine poetic language that breaks in the Romanian literature at the end of the 20thcentury. In his verses, life and its contraries (death, dictatorships) come together in a mosaic that constantly engages in dialogue with painting, more precisely, with Brueghel.
Parenthetical Structures: Nature, Marks, Controversies
Authors: Rus Maria-Laura 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
We focused in this paper on a special relation that functions at the pragmatic, discoursive level unlike all the other relations in the Romanian language: the parenthetical relation. The variety of its elements (simple or complex parts of speech, sentences or even phrases), its marks and the possibility to have a syntactic role inside their structure bring different difficulties or controversies with it. We explain some of these difficulties or errors: the difference between the disjunctive connector ori and the pragmatic connector or; the parenthetical feature of an explanatory structure or the lack of this feature; the difference between the adverbial predicate and the modality object etc.

Terminology Rooted in Mythology
Authors: Năznean Adrian 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Various medical terms are rooted in Greek in Roman mythology. The names of mythological figures such as Aphrodite, Hygeia, Morpheus, Narcissus, Priapus, or Thanatos, to name just a few, gave birth to terms such as aphrodisiac, hygiene, morphine, narcissism, priapism, thanatology. Achilles heel is derived from the myth of Achilles, in common language referring to one’s physical vulnerability. This paper investigates a small corpus of medical articles in order to identify collocations built with the name of the mythological figure of Achilles.
Gamification and Students’ Motivation: Using Quizizz in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Classroom
Authors: Jiménez-Sánchez María , Gargallo-Camarillas Noelia 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
During the last years, gamification has been regarded as a powerful tool to transform the EFL classroom into an engaging and entertaining learning context. The present paper aims to give insight into how gamification affects students’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. With a sample of 51 students of a state school located in Almazora (Castellón, Spain), an experimental group and a control group were created in order to compare digital to traditional methodologies, respectively. With the implementation of a Motivation’s Questionnaire and an Attitude’s Questionnaire, the obtained results indicated that the use of Quizizz motivates students both intrinsically and extrinsically and that students hold a favorable attitude towards the introduction of gamification in the EFL classroom. Finally, gamification seems to offer favourable results in the students’ learning process. Further research in this field should focus on other individual variables such as age, gender and background.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Volume Terminologia educației (constituire, caracteristici și tendințe de dezvoltare) signed by Inga Druță (Tipo Moldova Publishing, Iași 2014) stands in the literature of specialty as the argument volume of the existence of a specific pedagogical terminology. The study’s contemporaneousness is given by at least two arguments: on the one hand, the research invalidates the idea of a lack of pedagogical terminology, advanced by some authors, and on the other, it organizes a terminology on the intersection of numerous linguistic, conceptual and cultural influences derived both from the Occident and the Orient into a coherent work. It is a study of good omen through which Mrs. Inga Druța submits to analysis the field of pedagogy from multiple perspectives – historical, linguistic, theoretic and pragmatic.
Advocacy for a Diachronic Approach to Terminology
Authors: Butiurcă Doina 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThe study starts from the assertion that diachrony and synchrony are two modern linguistic concepts, in opposition. The main objective is the argumentative approach of the diachronic perspective of terminology, as the interdisciplinary scientific field. The descriptive-linguistic and comparative method allowed us some conclusions, of which the need for a historical approach to the terms is the first sine qua non condition for the creation of databases and disambiguation in specialized communication.

AbstractI chose this topic in order to examine, on the one hand, the different ways in which students can improve their knowledge of a foreign language, but also of their mother tongue, through the use of translation; on the other hand, I intend to illustrate a series of didactic strategies for teaching translation as an independent activity, as a skill in itself, which needs to be developed and can be used by students both in interlingual and intercultural communication processes and in their future jobs as translators or interpreters.
Anzia Yezierska and the Identity Crisis in Jewish-American Literature
Authors: Ștefanovici Smaranda 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Religious and racial identities are being reconceived as responses to cultural environments. Many Jews continue to hold conflicting ideas about their identity. We will trace the realities and challenges of being Jewish in the USA through Anzia Yezierska’s “The Lost Beautifulness.” The short story demonstrates the failure of Americanization and the need for a hybrid identity for Jewish-American immigrants to solve their identity crisis in the American context. The main character uses the white paint for the kitchen as a symbolic path towards assimilating American concepts of whiteness, cleanliness, and beauty, apparently making her equal to and accepted by the American mainstream middle and upper-class population.
