Published: April 2022

Colchicine is a chemical that induced mutation in plants through doubling of plant chromosomes so that polyploid plants are produced which have a larger size than diploid plants. This study aimed to determine the optimal level and soaking time of colchicine to increase the productivity of stylo plants. This study used a Completely Randomized Factorial Design (CRD) with two factors and six replications. Factor A is a the colchicine level of 0 ppm, 25 ppm, 50 ppm, 75 ppm and 100 ppm. Factor B is the soaking time of 12 hours, 24 hours and 36 hours. The variables observed were vertical height, stem diameter, leaflets length, leaflets width and number of trifoliate leaves. The results showed that the colchicine at a level of 25 ppm with soaking time of 12 hours had a significant effect (p<0.05) on the increase in plant vertical height, stem diameter, and leaf width by 75.62 cm, 3.08 mm and 0.90 cm, respectively. The number of trifoliate leaves from the colchicine treatment and the length of the leaflets were not significantly different. The conclusion of this research is colchicine level of 25 ppm and soaking time of 12 hours can increase plant vertical height, stem diameter and leaf width on stylo plants aged 14 WAP (Weeks After Planting).
Key words: colchicine level, productivity, soaking time, stylo

Authors: Safitri Baiq Vira , Maulida Novita , Waru Tenri 
Published: April 2022

The tradition of sorong serah aji krama is the culmination of a series of processions of merarik (wedding) ceremonies conducted by Sasak indigenous peoples. Sasak tribe itself is a native of the island of Lombok in the west Nusa Tenggara region. In essence, each customary procession or tradition contains philosophical values and social values that often represent and are represented by certain symbols. Disclosure of values for Sasak ancestors is often interpreted in depictions through the media both in the form of ceremonial to objects as symbols, including sorong serah aji krama which is traditionally considered to strengthen family relationships while maintaining the existence or purity of dignity and dignity of a Sasak tribal indigenous family. The study used qualitative methods with phenomenological approach and Peter L Berger and Thomas Luckmann's construction theory of social reality. Sampling is carried out purposively and addressed to the chairman and a number of members of the Sasak Customary Assembly. Primary and secondary data will be collected through in-depth interviews, observations and literature studies. The results showed that the tradition of sorong serah aji krama is interpreted through several points of view, including: 1) The type of tradition; as the highest customary congregation in the Sasak marriage process. 2) The purpose of tradition; customary procession to confirm the existence of a family in indigenous communities. 3) Implications of tradition; If not done will be considered unethical. 4) Message in tradition; declaration of responsibility made by the groom to the bride-to-be, and 5) the function of tradition; as a medium of value transfer, medium of value transformation, traditional media.
“My House is Protected by a Dragon”
Authors: Teppo Annika 
Published: April 2022

Until the end of apartheid, White South Africans were solely presented as Christians, with other religious practices all but forbidden to them. Since the negotiated revolution of 1994, the new liberal constitution has guaranteed religious freedom to all, with the global New Religious Movements gaining popularity. Tens of thousands of White South Africans have seized the opportunity to explore charismatic churches, New Age-practices as well as traditional African religions, while the popularity of traditional Christianity has dropped. The informants of this research are White South Africans from Cape Town, neopagans who practice Wiccan witchcraft and sangomas who practice traditional African religion. In South Africa, Whites are seldom regarded as practitioners of witchcraft or magic. Yet there are thousands of Whites who believe in and practice both, and create their own sacred spaces within the urban spaces which were previously subjected to rules and regulations of racialised social engineering. This article examines how witchcraft, magic and new global religions meet in the conjunctions of global and local, where new concerns arise and where new heterotopias and spatial practices are established as answers to White neopagans’ anxieties about spiritual insecurity and racial boundaries. The places where these sacred urban spaces are created are at homes, in public spaces, and on the Internet.

Mediating Surveillance: The Developing Landscape of European Online Copyright Enforcement
Authors: Bright Jon , Agustina José R. 
Published: April 2022

After a period of relative laissez faire, governments around the world are beginning to attempt to regulate online life, for a variety of reasons, through various mechanisms of surveillance and control. The drive to enforce the respect of copyright is at the forefront of these attempts, a highly controversial topic which pits proponents of the rights of the creative industry against advocates of freedom of speech.
Apart from their inflammatory nature, one distinguishing characteristic of most of these schemes is that they are mediated: that is, they are conducted with the help of third parties, most often internet service providers. The mediation of surveillance is something as yet relatively underexplored by the field of surveillance studies, whose theoretical tools are by and large focussed on a two way relationship between watcher and watched. This article seeks to remedy this deficit, by examining the dynamics of mediation in the context of online copyright enforcement. We argue that, far from being a neutral process, the displacement of surveillance to third parties has a crucial impact on the way in which it is conducted. In particular, the expanding capacity of mediators becomes a reason for justifying surveillance in and of itself.

A Quantitative Analysis of the Students’ Experience with Digital Media in L2 Acquisition
Authors: Pikhart Marcel , Al-Obaydi Liqaa Habeb , Rehman Mohsin Abdur 
Published: April 2022

Aim. Foreign language education widely utilizes various forms of eLearning or blended learning techniques and tools, and this trend has recently been supported and speeded up by the global pandemics of COVID-19. The study attempts to analyse the students’ experience with the use of digital media used for foreign language education with the aim of providing clear implications needed for future digital (online) language higher education.
Methodology. The methodology used to collect data was a questionnaire distributed online to the students of the University of Diyala in Iraq in July 2021 with n=394 making it a very representative and statistically relevant sample. Five hypotheses (H) were created and tested with these results. (H1) there is no correlation between a well-prepared teacher and subjective satisfaction of the students with online classes. (H2) the students will significantly prefer traditional teaching to online L2 acquisition. (H3) there will be a correlation between increased screen time and students´ dissatisfaction with online learning. (H4) the more they have to use digital media, the more they will prefer print text for their L2 acquisition. (H5) the most important subjectively perceived negative aspect of online learning will be reduced communication possibilities both with the tutor and with their peers.
Results. The students significantly supported traditional foreign language techniques over digital ones despite the fact that the tutors were evaluated with very high grades by the students. Thus, the fact that the tutors are well prepared, they use modern technology and attempt to motivate the students very successfully, the final result of the online foreign language class did not prove to be parallel to the traditional class regarding students´ satisfaction.
Conclusions. The results could be important for applied linguistics and psycholinguistics as they provide a clear overview of the current state of affairs in L2 acquisition with the use of digital technologies, which is a crucial topic that is more and more important for the development of both psycholinguistics and applied linguistics. Despite the fact that this study deals only with the subjective satisfaction of the participants, it can be generalized and can be transferrable on a large geographical scale. This geographical limitation can be rectified by larger-scale research that can be initiated by this early study. There are many implications connected to these findings, such as moving towards non-digital learning tools, such as print textbooks, focusing on more personal discussions rather than just various online assignments. Moreover, the results of the study should be a contribution to the current scientific discussion about the development of psycholinguodidactics and its role in solving the problem of mastering foreign languages.
The Communicative Functions of Emojis: Evidence from Jordanian Arabic-Speaking Facebookers
Authors: Hamdan Hady 
Published: April 2022

Purpose. This paper examines the communicative (also known as pragmatic) functions of the most common five emojis in the Jordanian context as perceived by Jordanian Facebook users.
Methods. The data were collected in four stages. First, the researcher shared a post on his Facebook account in which he asked his Jordanian-Arabic speaking virtual friends to report in a comment the most common emojis they use. The researcher compiled 174 comments / responses with 1716 emoji tokens. Second, the received tokens were used to identify the most common five emojis. Third, in order to identify the set of functions of each emoji, the researcher shared another post in which he asked the same previous group to report when each of them tends to press each emoji and for what purposes. Based on the received comments, a preliminary list of functions was prepared. Finally, the proposed functions were subjected to a validation process by two Jordanian-Arabic speaking linguists and three senior students from the Department of English at the University of Jordan. Most of their judgments were compatible with those of the researcher. To further validate the data, the acceptability of the identified functions were tested against the intuition of 261 Jordanian BA students at the University of Jordan.
Results. The findings show that the five most common emojis in the Jordanian context are (1) the Face With Tears of Joy, (2) the Red Heart, (3) the Slightly Smiling Face, (4) the Face Blowing a Kiss, and (5) the Winking Face. Furthermore, emojis are not only used to show emotions, but can also act as markers of illocutionary force, as face saving devices, and as boosters of rapport. The set of emojis examined in this study can be employed to perform 19 multiple illocutionary acts including but not limited to expressive acts (happiness, admiration, etc.), directive acts (e.g, directing the addressee to stop doing something) and declarative acts (e.g., threatening). Emojis are not solely used to convey the functions envisaged by their creators. Instead, with time, emojis start to drift extensively from their semantic import by acquiring a wide spectrum of new illocutions.
Conclusions. The study concludes that although emojis are evolving and developing at a rapid pace, becoming more diverse, pervasive and integral in our daily communications, sharing even some of the characteristics of human language such as arbitrariness, they remain a mode of communication within computer-mediated communication (CMC). At this stage, they can mainly play the role of non-verbal cues that help us understand the intended message and function as a parallel lingua franca limited in domains of CMC.
Образ світу і людини в умовах дигітальної культури: психолінгвістичний аналіз
Authors: Kremen Vasyl , Ilyin Volodymyr 
Published: April 2022

Вступ. У статті проведено психолінгвістичний аналіз нового образу людини в ситуації інформаційно-цифрової реальності як нового образу світу.
Мета. Мета дослідження полягає у з’ясуванні можливостей проєктивної лінгвістики у визначенні психолінгвістичної сутності смислових та ментальних структур сучасних мовних норм і міжособистісної комунікації у процесі формування нового образу людини.
Методи. Дослідження ґрунтується на методології сучасних психологічних, генетико-епістемологічних, філософсько-антропологічних і лінгвістичних теоретичних рефлексій. Їх опрацювання включило в процес аналізу методи проєктивної і когнітивної лінгвістики, потенціал яких сприяв виявленню психолінгвістичних особливостей мовного спілкування епохи метамодерну.
Результати. Розглянута проблема формування і розвитку нового образу людини (homo digitalis) в умовах інформаційно-цифрової реальності. Концептуалізовано образ світу, що в психолінгвістиці розуміється як відображення в свідомості людини реальності, опосередкованої предметністю і відповідними когнітивними схемами та рефлексіями. З’ясовано фактор впливу інформаційно-цифрових технологій на психологію та зміну способів мовного спілкування і комунікації. Вияснено особливості реалізації сучасною людиною своїх творчих здібностей в лінгво-когнітивно-епістемній діяльності в процесі актуального сприйняття образу світу. Показано, що перенесення акценту на мережеву комунікацію приводить до втрати людиною системи орієнтирів, необхідних для продуктивної діяльності в складностях і суперечностях багатомірного інфосвіту. Вирішення даної проблеми покладається на потенціал проєктивної лінгвістики, можливості якої постають фактором формування нового образу людини та її діяльності на рівні наукового осмислення світу.
Висновки. Психолінгвістичний аналіз образу людини в ситуації нового образу світу відкриває перспективи активного входження сучасної культури мовлення і спілкування в параметри інформаційно-цифрової реальності. Психолінгвістичне обґрунтування даного процесу в контексті проєктивної лінгвістики постає важливим кроком по виявленню інтелектуальних і когнітивних можливостей нового образу людини в результаті сприйняття реальності інфосвіту.

OBJECTIVE
Head trauma is the most common indication for a CT scan. In this pilot study, the authors assess the feasibility of a 5-minute high-resolution 3D golden-angle (GA) stack-of-stars radial volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE) MRI sequence (GA-VIBE) to obtain clinically acceptable cranial bone images and identify cranial vault fractures compared to CT.

METHODS
Patients younger than 18 years of age presenting after head trauma were eligible for the study. Three clinicians reviewed and assessed 1) slice-by-slice volumetric CT and inverted MR images, and 2) 3D reconstructions obtained from inverted MR images and the gold standard (CT). For each image set, reviewers noted on 5-point Likert scales whether they recommended that a repeat scan be performed and the presence or absence of cranial vault fractures.

RESULTS
Thirty-one patients completed MRI after a clinical head CT scan was performed. Based on CT imaging, 8 of 31 patients had cranial fractures. Two of 31 patients were sedated as part of their clinical MRI scan. In 30 (97%) of 31 MRI reviews, clinicians agreed (or strongly agreed) that the image quality was acceptable for clinical diagnosis. Overall, comparing MRI to acceptable gold-standard CT, sensitivity and specificity of fracture detection were 100%. Furthermore, there were no discrepancies between CT and MRI in classification of fracture type or location.

CONCLUSIONS
When compared with the gold standard (CT), the volumetric and 3D reconstructed images using the GA-VIBE sequence were able to produce clinically acceptable cranial images with excellent ability to detect cranial vault fractures.

OBJECTIVE
The goal of this study was to determine independent risk factors for vertebral compression fracture (VCF) following radiation for metastatic spine disease, including low bone mineral density as estimated by Hounsfield units (HU).

METHODS
A retrospective chart review identified patients with a single vertebral column metastasis treated with radiation therapy, a pretreatment CT scan, and a follow-up CT scan at least 6 weeks after treatment. Patients with primary spine tumors, preradiation vertebroplasty, preradiation spine surgery, prior radiation to the treatment field, and proton beam treatment modality were excluded. The HU were measured in the vertebral bodies at the level superior to the metastasis, within the tumor and medullary bone of the metastatic level, and at the level inferior to the metastasis. Variables collected included basic demographics, Spine Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS), presenting symptoms, bone density treatment, primary tumor pathology, Weinstein-Boriani-Biagini (WBB) classification, Enneking stage, radiation treatment details, chemotherapy regimen, and prophylactic vertebroplasty.

RESULTS
One hundred patients with an average age of 63 years and average follow-up of 18 months with radiation treatment dates ranging from 2017 to 2020 were included. Fifty-nine patients were treated with external-beam radiation therapy, with a median total dose of 20 Gy (range 8–40 Gy). Forty-one patients were treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy, with a median total dose of 24 Gy (range 18–39 Gy). The most common primary pathologies included lung (n = 22), prostate (n = 21), and breast (n = 14). Multivariable logistic regression analysis (area under the curve 0.89) demonstrated pretreatment HU (p < 0.01), SINS (p = 0.02), involvement of ≥ 3 WBB sectors (p < 0.01), primary pathology other than prostate (p = 0.04), and ongoing chemotherapy treatment (p = 0.04) to be independent predictors of postradiation VCF. Patients with pretreatment HU < 145 (n = 32), 145–220 (n = 31), and > 220 (n = 37) had a fracture rate of 59%, 39%, and 11%, respectively. An HU cutoff of 157 was found to maximize sensitivity (71%) and specificity (75%) in predicting postradiation VCF.

CONCLUSIONS
Low preradiation HU, higher SINS, involvement of ≥ 3 WBB sectors, ongoing chemotherapy, and nonprostate primary pathology were independent predictors of postradiation VCF in patients with metastatic spine disease. Low bone mineral density, as estimated by HU, is a novel and potentially modifiable risk factor for VCF.
