Abstract
This paper reports the analysis of ELT textbook for the eighth graders of Junior High School. We examined the extent of gender representation from the visual and textual materials in the textbook, in terms of the involvement of male and female gender in stereotypical and non-stereotypical areas. For that, Critical Discourse Analysis was used as the research design in this study, and Fairclough’s 1995 Three-Dimensional Model that consists of three stages of analysis (Description, Interpretation, Explanation) was applied as the data analysis method. The result shows that the representation of female visually and textually has already shown a good sign of gender representation for females were pictured in stereotypical and non-stereotypical areas. Meanwhile, for males, their representation is good textually, but visually they are still underrepresented, as males were only pictured in stereotypical area. However, when compared to the findings of previous studies, we found that the extent of gender stereotyping has reduced to some extent.
Keywords: Gender representation; ELT textbook; critical discourse analysis; Fairclough’s three-dimensional model

Published: April 2022

In the past few years, parental involvement as an important factor in students’ English learning had been investigated. Though parents might feel like they were contributing to their children's English learning, how their children really felt toward their involvement was another aspect that needs to be investigated. In response to this, this research investigated the students’ perspectives on their parents’ involvement in their L2 English learning using a descriptive case study design. The findings revealed that students perceived parental involvement as important. The students’ attitudes were also found to be mostly positive. Furthermore, most of the students stated that there were some kinds of parental involvement that they wished their parents had done to help them achieve their goals in their English learning, namely sending to an English camp and studying English at home. Accordingly, this study suggested that parents should have paid more attention to what their children wanted when it came to their English learning, especially when their children were mature enough to understand the importance of English and when they knew what they wanted in their English learning.

Published: April 2022

Jordan is currently going through difficult economic conditions whose features have begun to crystallize clearly since the outbreak of crises and wars in Syria and Iraq. In addition to that, the year 2020 brought with it the unknown to further complicate the Jordanian economic situation. In order to find a comprehensive solution, the Jordanian legislator used some international references, such as the principles of effective systems of creditors’ rights and insolvency issued by the World Bank and the Legislative Guide to the Insolvency Law issued by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) to rescue faltering economic projects or those that are about to stumble. The study resulted in the issuance of the Jordanian Insolvency Law No. 21 of 2018. This paper aims to identify the insolvency standard of the Jordanian courts and its impact on Jordan's economy. By applying a qualitative legal approach, this paper analyses the mock application of the Insolvency Law by the Jordanian courts. It also examines the insolvency standard followed by the Jordanian courts via juridical-normative with descriptive analysis. The finding shows that applying the insolvency law in Jordan is still a theory. Jordanian courts should cautiously extend the scope of insolvency theory for the law to achieve the purpose for which it was issued. Comparing the practice in Indonesia, which has switched from the insolvency test concept to the presumption of bankruptcy, this is a lesson because, in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, companies will find it challenging to request reports due to uncertain situations. According to the financial aspect, large companies are still good, but companies are reluctant to pay debts. This condition means that if the system used is a bankruptcy test, this case cannot be brought to the Commercial Court, so the court cannot force debtors who are reluctant to pay their debt obligations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Sublingual buprenorphine (BUP-SL) and liquid methadone (MET) and are the standard-of-care (SOC), daily maintenance medications for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). A sizable proportion of the OUD treatment population does not adhere to treatment and achieve desired clinical benefit. Two promising therapeutic technologies address this deficit: new medication formulations and psychosocial interventions (PSI). This study will determine: (A) the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness – monthly injectable, extended-release (BUP-XR) a novel formulation in a head-to-head comparison with BUP-SL or MET; and (B) the effectiveness of BUP-XR with PSI versus BUP-SL or MET with PSI. Safety, retention, craving, substance use, quality-adjusted life years, social functioning, and subjective recovery will be also evaluated. METHODS: This is a pragmatic, multi-centre, open-label, four-arm, parallel group, superiority RCT, with a qualitative (mixed-methods) evaluation. The study population is adults. The setting is five specialist National Health Service community treatment programmes in England and Scotland. In all sites, participants will be randomly allocated (1:1) to BUP-XR and BUP-SL or MET. At the London study co-ordinating centre, there will also be allocation of participants to BUP-XR with PSI and BUP-SL or MET with PSI. With 24 weeks of study treatment, the primary outcome is days of abstinence from all non-medical opioids during study weeks 2–24 combined with up to 12 urine drug screen tests for opioids. For 90% power (alpha, 5%; 15% inflation for attrition), 304 participants are needed for the BUP-XR and BUP-SL or MET comparison. Using the same planning parameters, 300 participants are needed for the comparison of BUP-XR and BUP-SL or MET with PSI. Statistical and health economic analysis plans will be published before data-lock on the Open Science Framework. Findings will be reported in accordance with the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials and Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards. DISCUSSION: This pragmatic randomised controlled trial is the first evaluation of injectable BUP-XR versus the SOC medications BUP-SL or MET, and with an adjunctive personalised PSI. If there is evidence for the superiority of BUP-XR over SOC, this will have substantial implications for clinical practice and OUD treatment policy in the UK and elsewhere.

Predictive value of anti-Mullerian hormone for pregnancy outcomes following assisted reproductive techniques (ART) in Southwest China
Authors: LAN YUNZHU , YANG HUAN , SUN XINGYU , FENG XINJIAN , LIU LING 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Background: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is secreted by granulosa cells in preantral follicles and small antral follicles. There is limited information about whether serum AMH levels are related to pregnancy outcomes during in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). The aim of this study was to provide a theoretical basis for improving pregnancy outcomes.Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on infertile women who were treated at the Reproductive Centre of the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University between September 2018 and September 2019. The sample included 518 patients from Southwest China. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to their AMH level. Their patient data were retrieved from the medical records: days and dosage of gonadotropin (Gn) (one bottle equals 75 IU), the number of oocytes obtained, the number of oocytes in metaphase II (MII) and the number of high-quality embryos. The pregnancy outcomes were followed up and divided into two groups according to whether they were pregnant or not, with statistical analysis of the parameters related to the in vitro fertilization process performed separately.Results: Compared to a lower AMH level (AMH≤1.1), a higher AMH level (AMH>1.1) resulted in less total Gn (bottle) (P=0.00<0.05) and a lower starting Gn (IU) (P=0.00<0.05), while the number of oocytes obtained,MII,cleavages and high-quality embryos were higher (P=0.00<0.05). The patients' pregnancy outcomes (ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, singleton, twin, multiple births) were found to not be predictable by AMH through ROC curves (P=0.980, 0.093, 0.447, 0.146, 0.526, and 0.868>0.05).For patients in the pregnancy group, although AMH was lower in the nonpregnant patients (P=0.868>0.05), the difference was not statistically significant, and the correlation coefficients between the two groups suggested no differences in the IVF process, except for the starting Gn (IU) (P=0.038<0.05).Conclusion: AMH has clinical application value in predicting ovarian reserve function, providing guidance and suggestions for the specific formulation of ovulation promotion programs with assisted reproductive technology, but it cannot effectively predict the outcome of clinical pregnancy.

Published: April 2022

Abstract
Motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord begin to die off in Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a disease that can be fatal. Molecular pathways in neurological disease, especially ALS, remain a challenge in the medical sciences. In this disease, a disorder in both astrocytes and oligodendrocytes can cause the disease to progress. This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms and find key elements between these two cells in ALS with a bioinformatics perspective. In this study, using integrated and continuous bioinformatics analytics by various tools and databases, we investigated genes, protein products, and miRNAs between astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. The obtained data were involved in the Cellular senescence, actin cytoskeleton, cell cycle signaling pathways. Then, after careful evaluation of the information, TP53, MDM2, KRAS, PTPRC, and GSK proteins were candidates, which are regulated by hsa-miR-564, hsa-miR-496-5p, hsa-miR-324-5p, hsa-miR-296-5p, and hsa-miR-4258-3p miRNAs. Finally, the four genes had a more robust and better relationship in this study between astrocyte and oligodendrocyte derived ALS.
Analysing the costs of an innovative strategy to train and improve the healthcare workforce in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Authors: Gumede Dumsani , Taylor Myra , Kvalsvig Jane 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Background: To improve health in low- and middle- income countries in addition to improving the basic health infrastructure, requires addressing the shortage of skilled healthcare professionals (HCPs), particularly in rural areas. The Umthombo Youth Development Foundation (UYDF) is a non-profit organisation established in 1999 to assist in addressing the shortage of HCPs in rural areas. The aim of this study is to describe the role played by the UYDF in addressing HCP shortages in rural hospitals by calculating the cost-benefits and internal rate of return and reporting the progress of the UYDF bursary scheme in achieving this goal. Methods: An economic analysis (cost-benefits and internal rate of return) was used to estimate and describe strategies used by the UYDF to improve shortages of HCPs in the health sector. This study presents a summary of the model and the UYDF achievements since 1999. The sources of data were the UYDF organisational records (finance, human resources and procurement), supplemented by the published and unpublished UYDF reports. The return on investment was estimated through the use of an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) calculation.Results: The results indicate that the UYDF provided bursaries to rural youth to address the shortages of HCPs. The UYDF database showed that by 2017 a total of 337 HCPs had graduated and a further 254 were still studying. An average of ZAR 17 million (US$ 1.278 million) was spent every year on the students or ZAR 102 015 (US$ 7 219) per student per year. The IRR was encouraging being 63% higher than the interest rates on commercial loans. The UYDF graduates are expected to generate an estimated ZAR4 billion (US$ 62 479 million) in lifetime earnings at current prices.Conclusions: The UYDF scheme demonstrates the potential to reduce the shortage of HCPs in rural hospitals, where the hospitals were able to retain the services of many now qualified locally sourced HCPs. The costs of implementing the bursary scheme were outweighed by the income generated from salaries, and their taxes contribute to the country’s economy. This analysis has shown that the investment gives a multifactorial return and contributes to the socioeconomic development of the individuals, their community and the country.
Framed slant helices and singularities of developable surfaces
Authors: Li Zhiqiang , Wang Zhigang 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
The notion of framed slant helices is presented in a way which allows the existence of singular points. Some characterizations of the framed slant helices are described via certain equivalent conditions. The framed principal-directional curve is introduced as a framed curve and an associated curve of the original curve. It is revealed that there exists an extra relationship between the framed principal-directional curve and the original curve when the framed principal-donor curve is considered as a framed slant helix. Meanwhile, we consider two surfaces, the principal normal rectifying developable surface and the Darboux normal developable surface, generated by a Frenet type framed base curve, adopting the method of unfolding theory and using two new geometric invariants, which reflect the information about the types of singularities of these two surfaces, we distinguish the generic cuspidal edge and swallowtail type of singularities for such two surfaces. In particular, the principal normal rectifying developable surface will be a cylinder surface if the original curve is a framed slant helix. Finally, several examples are provided to illustrate the main results.

Abstract
Purpose: Multiple Myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematologic malignancy in the U.S., with higher rates observed in older adults and African Americans (AA). Survivors experience fatigue, bone pain, and reduced functioning. The high incidence of obesity among MM survivors may be partly responsible. These factors highlight the value of developing lifestyle interventions to meet the needs of this diverse group. This study aims to inform the development of a lifestyle program tailored to the MM community. Methods: MM survivors who were ≥100 days post autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) with a BMI ≥20 kg/m2 were recruited from two university hospitals, with the goal of obtaining sufficient representation of AA participants. They completed dietary, physical activity, and quality of life (QOL) questionnaires and a qualitative interview. Results: 72 MM survivors participated (65% white, 35% black). Participants were 62.5±15.8 years of age. 50% were classified as obese and 65% were insufficiently active. Participants reported diets high in added sugars and saturated fats. QOL measures indicated clinically significant challenges in physical and sexual function. Most (87%) were interested in a lifestyle program. Predominant themes regarding survivors’ desires for a lifestyle program included social support, guided exercise, meal preparation support, and disease management information. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the need for and interest in lifestyle change support among a racially diverse sample of MM survivors. Interventions that are group-based, target knowledge gaps, social connections, accountability, and provide structured framework with professional instruction will best address the needs of this survivor population.
Benchmarking landslide inventory data handling strategies for landslide susceptibility modeling based on different random forest machine learning workflows

Published: April 2022

Abstract
Machine learning (ML) algorithms are frequently used in landslide susceptibility modeling. Different data handling strategies may generate variations in landslide susceptibility modeling, even when using the same ML algorithm. This research aims to compare the combinations of inventory data handling, cross validation (CV), and hyperparameter tuning strategies to generate landslide susceptibility maps. The results are expected to provide a general strategy for landslide susceptibility modeling using ML techniques. The authors employed eight landslide inventory data handling scenarios to convert a landslide polygon into a landslide point, i.e., the landslide point is located on the toe (minimum height), on the scarp (maximum height), at the center of the landslide, randomly inside the polygon (1 point), randomly inside the polygon (3 points), randomly inside the polygon (5 points), randomly inside the polygon (10 points), and 15 m grid sampling. Random forest models using CV–nonspatial hyperparameter tuning, spatial CV–nonspatial hyperparameter tuning, and spatial CV–forward feature selection–no hyperparameter tuning were applied for each data handling strategy. The combination generated 24 random forest ML workflows, which are applied using a complete inventory of 743 landslides triggered by Tropical Cyclone Cempaka 2017 in Pacitan Regency, Indonesia, and 11 landslide controlling factors. The results show that grid sampling with spatial CV and spatial hyperparameter tuning is favorable because the strategy can minimize overfitting, generate a relatively high-performance predictive model, and reduce the appearance of susceptibility artifacts in the landslide area. Careful data inventory handling, CV, and hyperparameter tuning strategies should be considered in landslide susceptibility modeling to increase the applicability of landslide susceptibility maps in practical application.
