Transitivity Analysis of Newspapers’ Headlines Depicting the Russian Attack on Ukraine
Authors: EL FALLAKI EL HOUSSINE 
Published: May 2022

The current study analyzes international newspapers headlines depicting Russia attack on Ukraine. Different newspapers worldwide were chosen to highlight the embedded ideologies by applying Halliday’s transitivity system as a research instrument. The researcher analyzed the lexical choices and the linguistic devices used in headlines to represent Putin and Russia in the war between Russia and Ukraine. He investigated the way language is used in newspapers’ headline to create emotional impacts on the part of the readers and to influence the common public opinion about the crisis. The study highlights the hidden ideologies conveyed through the choice of lexical devices and the way the same event can be represented differently.
Key words: transitivity, lexical choice, ideology, representation, public opinion making.

La performance scientifique : récit de deux expérimentations. Quelles postures pour la recherche ?
Authors: Ranchon Grâce 
Published: May 2022

Cet article repose sur deux manifestations scientifiques ayant eu lieu en 2018 : une communication pour un colloque universitaire, et une conférence menée dans le cadre de l’éducation populaire. Les deux ont pris pour objet la langue et les rapports de pouvoir dans la langue, et les ont exprimés à travers la métaphore du combat et de la lutte. On verra dans cet article comment le recours à cette métaphore permet de questionner les enjeux autour de la validité scientifique, en créant un espace de « tiers-construit » qui rend possible la réflexion. Ces enjeux seront ensuite analysés à travers les concepts d’éthos et de performance : les contextes de ces deux manifestations amènent à créer des expériences de communication scientifique qui se traduisent par des postures, des mises en scène, des rôles. L’objectif est d’interroger les possibles en termes de recherche, comme action ou transmission.
On the Russophone and Anglophone linguistic traditions
Authors: M. Alpatov Vladimir 
Published: May 2022

Dans la description linguistique, la structure de la langue maternelle du linguiste joue un rôle important qui n’est pas toujours pris en compte : « Lorsqu’un linguiste passe des descriptions de sa langue maternelle à la mise en place d’une théorie générale de la langue, les notions essentielles de la théorie qu’il a bâtie conservent bien souvent un lien étroit avec des faits qui sont bien représentés dans sa langue maternelle » (A. A. Zalizniak & T. V. Padutcheva). Intervient ensuite un processus de sens inverse : la théorie mise en place amène le linguiste à un certain regard sur la langue, et c’est pourquoi en linguistique les langues étrangères se voient attribuer en permanence les particularités de la langue maternelle du linguiste. Du point de vue typologique la langue russe n’a pas tellement changé par comparaison avec les anciennes langues indo-européennes et sur le plan de ses structures est restée de type synthétique. C’est la raison pour laquelle la tradition russe, tout comme la tradition antique, est basée sur l’idée d’un rôle central de la morphologie et de la formation des mots dans la grammaire. Mais, de l’avis, par exemple, de A. Meillet, un tel type morphologique « est extraordinairement particulier et en même temps extrêmement complexe ». La tradition anglaise attribue de même un rôle principal dans la grammaire non pas à la formation des mots, mais à l’ordre des divers éléments.
Système de gouvernance et de pérennisation d’un régime prédateur en Irak

Published: May 2022

Les partis au pouvoir en Irak considèrent les institutions comme un « butin », un produit doté d’une véritable valeur marchande. Une « invention » s’est installée : les « bureaux économiques », présents dans tous les ministères, en parallèle, qui redistribuent les marchés et les appels d’offres étatiques. Les partis ouvrent aussi des sociétés de change pour dominer le marché des transactions financières, ils fondent des banques chargées des transferts de fonds et des contrats octroyés par les relais dont ils disposent au sein des services de l’État.
ONG
Authors: Godin Julie 
Published: May 2022

Si l’« ONGisation », à savoir l’instauration de la configuration ONG comme vecteur privilégié de l’action collective pour le développement, interpelle, les facteurs de dépolitisation des discours et des pratiques de ces acteurs non gouvernementaux préoccupent. La conscience des risques d’instrumentalisation, de managérialisation, d’occidentalisation, de substitution… aide à les éviter et partant, à repolitiser les résistances au modèle dominant.
De l’usage du genre

L’hypothèse de Nancy Fraser sur l’affinité élective entre féminisme actuel et néolibéralisme s’applique-t-elle aux réalités latino-américaines ? L’analyse des changements intervenus dans les stratégies de libération et les luttes pour l’autonomie des femmes à l’ère du marché et de l’« ONGisation » du genre permet de saisir les spécificités culturelles des féminismes latino-américains et d’en évaluer l’adéquation ou non avec le projet néolibéral.

Published: May 2022

Background
Large-scale efforts to train clinicians in serious-illness communication skills are needed, but 2 important gaps in knowledge remain. (1) No proven training method exists that can be readily scaled to train thousands of clinicians. (2) Though the value of interprofessional collaboration to support incapacitated patients’ surrogates is increasingly recognized, few interventions for training intensive care unit (ICU) nurses in important communication skills can be leveraged to provide interprofessional family support.

Objective
To develop and test a web/videoconference-based platform to train nurses to communicate about serious illness.

Methods
A user-centered process was used to develop the intervention, including (1) iteratively engaging a stakeholder panel, (2) developing prototype and beta versions of the platform, and (3) 3 rounds of user testing with 13 ICU nurses. Participants’ ratings of usability, acceptability, and perceived effectiveness were assessed quantitatively and qualitatively.

Results
Stakeholders stressed that the intervention should leverage interactive learning and a streamlined digital interface. A training platform was developed consisting of 6 interactive online training lessons and 3 group-based video-conference practice sessions. Participants rated the program as usable (mean summary score 84 [96th percentile]), acceptable (mean, 4.5/5; SD, 0.7), and effective (mean, 4.8/5; SD, 0.6). Ten of 13 nurses would recommend the intervention over 2-day in-person training.

Conclusions
Nurses testing this web-based training program judged it usable, acceptable, and effective. These data support proceeding with an appropriately powered efficacy trial.
Nursing Care at End of Life in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Patients Requiring Mechanical Ventilation
Authors: Broden Elizabeth G. , Hinds Pamela S. , Werner-Lin Allison , Quinn Ryan , Asaro Lisa A. , Curley Martha A. Q. 
Published: May 2022

Background
Parents’ perceptions of critical care during the final days of their child’s life shape their grief for decades. Little is known about nursing care needs of children actively dying in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).

Objectives
To examine associations between patient characteristics, circumstances of death, and nursing care requirements for children who died in the PICU.

Methods
A secondary analysis of the data set from the Randomized Evaluation of Sedation Titration for Respiratory Failure trial was conducted.

Results
This analysis included 104 children; 67 died after withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments; 21, after failed resuscitation; and 16, after brain death. Patients had a median age of 7.5 years, were cognitively appropriate, and were intubated for acute respiratory failure. Daily pain and sedation scores indicated patients’ comfort was well managed (mean pain scores: modal, 0; peak, 2; mean sedation scores: modal, −2; peak, −1). Patients with longer PICU stays more often experienced pain and agitation on the day of death. Illness trajectory (acute, complex chronic condition, or cancer) was associated with pain scores (P = .04). Specifically, children with cancer had higher pain scores than children with acute illness trajectories (P = .01). Many patients (62%) had no change in critical care devices in their last days of life (median, 5 devices). Patterns of pain, sedation, comfort medications, and nursing care requirements did not differ by circumstances of death.

Conclusion
Children with cancer and longer PICU stays may need comprehensive comfort management. Invasive devices left in place during withdrawal of life support may have inhibited parents’ ability to connect with their child. Future research should incorporate parents’ perspectives.
Prospective Validation of Sedation Scale Scores That Identify Light Sedation: A Pilot Study
Authors: Brown Caitlin , Marotta Pasquale Joseph , Riker Richard R. , Eldridge Ashley D. , Fraser Gilles L. , May Teresa L. 
Published: May 2022

Background
Intensive care unit (ICU) sedation guidelines recommend targeting a light sedation level, but light sedation has no accepted definition, and inconsistent levels have been proposed.

Objective
To determine Sedation-Agitation Scale and Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale scores that best describe patients’ ability to follow voice commands.

Methods
This prospective, observational pilot study enrolled a convenience sample of ICU patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Pairs of trained investigators evaluated scores on the Sedation-Agitation Scale and Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale and ability to follow commands before and up to 2 hours after sedation lightening in a blind, independent, simultaneous fashion. Positive predictive values (PPVs) and likelihood ratios (LRs) of Sedation-Agitation Scale and Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale scores associated with light sedation (ability to follow at least 3 commands) were calculated.

Results
Ninety-six assessments (50 before and 46 after lightening of sedation) were performed in medical ICU patients. Scores best associated with ability to follow at least 3 commands were Sedation-Agitation Scale score of 4 (PPV, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.70-0.98; LR, 14.0) and Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale score of −1 (PPV, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.61-0.93; LR, 10.7), superior to previously recommended thresholds of Sedation-Agitation Scale score of 3 (PPV, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.48-0.75; LR, 3.1) and Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale score of −3 (PPV, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.39-0.64; LR, 2.0).

Conclusions
The level of sedation most associated with the ability to follow commands appears higher than previously recommended. Further study is needed regarding the effects of sedation level on ICU patients’ ability to follow commands and assessment of delirium, pain, and patient preferences.
Arterial Monitoring System Leveling Method, Transducer Location, and Accuracy of Blood Pressure Measurements
Authors: Crowther Maryanne , Ricker Jennifer , Frank Lisa , James Naomi , Kupyak Evangeline , Fajardo Christiam , Foran Lindsey , Persaud Clive 
Published: May 2022

Background
Many critically ill patients have invasive arterial catheters inserted for blood pressure monitoring. Whether catheter leveling method and alternative transducer location affect the accuracy of blood pressure measurements is unknown.

Objective
To determine whether the use of alternative transducer locations and visual alignment versus laser device leveling significantly affect the accuracy of blood pressure measurements.

Methods
A convenience sample of 36 participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 experimental groups with different transducer locations: taped to the upper arm, next to the upper arm taped to a rolled cloth, or at the wrist. Participants served as their own controls; the control condition was having the transducer on the intravenous pole. Four blood pressure measurements were recorded for each patient (2 from each of the experimental and control conditions) using visual alignment and then laser device leveling.

Results
Only diastolic blood pressure (DBP) differed significantly between leveling methods (P = .01); no pressures differed significantly by transducer location. Covariate analysis indicated expected relationships between (1) age and DBP (P = .001), (2) Simplified Acute Physiology Score II and both DBP (P = .003) and mean arterial pressure (P = .03), and (3) duration of mechanical ventilation and DBP (P = .05).

Conclusion
The findings indicate that any of the transducer locations evaluated may be useful in clinical prac-tice. Also, visual alignment rather than laser device leveling may be acceptable, except for DBP in the control location. More research is needed to strengthen these findings.
Palmyrah (<em>Borassus flabellifer</em> L.) Toddy as a Source of Vinegar Production and its Chemical Analysis
Authors: Keerthiga S. , Mahilrajan S. , Sajiwanie J.W.A. 
Published: May 2022

Purpose: Vinegar is a condiment prepared by alcoholic and consequent acetic acid fermentation using different sugary and starchy materials. This can be utilized as a flavoring agent, preservative, medicine, cleaning agent and herbicide. Palmyrah toddy contains around 4-6% of alcohol which is produced in huge amounts during their season. So, this research was designed to increase the utilization of toddy by means of vinegar. Research Method: Vinegar was prepared with toddy as a substrate (5.0% of alcohol) by using Orleans, generator and optimized submerged fermentation processes. The chemical characteristics of vinegar produced from Palmyrah were determined based on SLS 168:1999. Findings: Orleans process significantly (p<0.05) reduced the time required to produce the maximum acid (4.01%) contained corn cob and activated bacteria covering gel-like structure. During the generator process over oxidation of ethanol was observed due to the high rate of aeration with the pump. Optimized conditions of submerged fermentation was exhibited as 10% inoculum size (5, 10, 20 and 30%), 30o C temperature (28, 30 and 32o C)and with shaking showed 3.96, 4.23 and 4.53% of acid production at 8th, 7th, and 5th day of fermentation respectively. Chemical characteristics of produced palmyrah vinegar complied with SLS 168:1999 as total acidity (4.32%), total solids (4.08 (w/v), alkaline oxidation value (89.6), iodine value (556) and residual ethyl alcohol (0%). The efficiency of acetic acid production by using an optimized submerged fermentation process was 92.4%. Originality/ Value: Palmyrah toddy could be used for the production of natural vinegar under optimum conditions, and further field study has to be done to apply this finding at the industrial level.

Authors: Neogi Kaushik , Tewari Mallika , Singh Ashish Kumar , Sharma Kavyanjali , Tej Gullanki Naga Venkata Charan , Verma Sumit Singh , Gupta Subash Chandra , Nayak Prasanta Kumar 
Published: May 2022

Background:
Dysregulation in Wnt/β-catenin signaling has been associated with the initiation and metastasis of cancer cells. Transcription factor 4 (TCF4) (also named as transcription factor 7-like 2) is a key transcriptional factor of the Wnt signaling pathway, which, when interact with β-catenin activates Wnt genes which plays an essential role in tumor development. The expression pattern and clinical significance of TCF4 in gallbladder cancer (GBC) are not yet established.

Aims:
This study was performed to assess the expression pattern of TCF4 in GBC tissue and attempted to correlate its expression with different clinicopathological parameters.

Materials and Methods:
The study was conducted on 33 surgically resected specimens of gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) and 12 cases of chronic cholecystitis (CC) as control, which had been confirmed from histology. The expression of TCF4 was performed by the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry.

Results:
Relative mRNA expression levels of β-catenin and TCF4 in GBC tissues were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than in CC samples. TCF4 protein expression was observed in 81.82% (27/33) GBC cases. Specifically, among GBC samples, 21.21% (7/33) was graded as strongly positive, 60.61% (20/33) graded as moderately positive, whereas 18.18% (6/33) graded as negative. All 12 CC samples graded as negative. Overall, TCF4 expression in GBC tissues was statistically significant over CC samples (P < 0.05). Moreover, we observed that TCF4 expression was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in high tumor grades than low grade, higher (P < 0.05) in Stage 2 and Stage 3 than Stage 1.

Conclusion:
The present study suggests that TCF4 may exert an oncogenic role in the progression of GBC and may serve as a new potential candidate biomarker for tumor progression, and it might be a potential therapeutic target against GBC.
Legionnaires' disease – a qualitative study on Swiss physicians' approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of community-acquired pneumonia
Authors: Fischer Fabienne B. , Deml Michael J. , Mäusezahl Daniel 
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: The number of reported cases of Legionnaires' disease has increased significantly over the last decade in Switzerland and abroad. Along with the number of cases, the volume of testing has increased as well, which has been partially attributed to a change in awareness of the disease. Yet, while there are numerous guidelines and recommendations for the case management of community-acquired pneumonia, little is known about how physicians in Switzerland perceive and manage Legionnaires' disease.
METHODS: This study aimed to investigate physicians' awareness of Legionnaires' disease, their information resources and their approach to the diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia (and thus Legionnaires' disease). Using a semi-structured interview guide, we conducted in-depth interviews with physicians from different levels of care and from the German-, French- and Italian-speaking regions of Switzerland.
RESULTS: We conducted 46 interviews with physicians from university, cantonal and regional hospitals as well as with general practitioners (GPs) from all three language regions. Overall, the physicians working in hospitals indicated a similar level of awareness of Legionnaires' disease, and comparable diagnosis and treatment approaches. The Legionella urine antigen test (UAT) was reported to be routinely performed in inpatients. In contrast, GPs indicated lower levels of awareness, reflecting the fact that they treat pneumonia cases empirically without identification of the causative agent, in accordance with current guidelines. The value of the diagnostic tests in general and the Legionella UAT in particular was considered to be dependent on the (preferred) antibiotic treatment approach. Some physicians saw the test as redundant, as its result would not influence treatment. This was tied to concerns about the UAT’s sensitivity and its limited use for the detection of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1. Lastly, extrinsic constraints, such as financial and time considerations also affected physicians' testing and treatment preferences.
CONCLUSION: Awareness of Legionnaires' disease is overall high, yet cases are mainly diagnosed and reported by hospitals. Improved diagnostic tools are needed to support physicians in reducing underestimation of Legionnaires' disease and optimise antibiotic stewardship without compromising patient health outcomes.

Published: May 2022

<p>Most Vietnamese students who learn English often make mistakes when learning Vietnamese-English translation because there are many differences between Vietnamese and English. Therefore, translation is a difficult subject when learning English. This research “Some common errors in the Vietnamese-English translation of English majors at Tay Do University” focused on some common errors of English majors in Vietnamese-English translation. In this research, the participants were 75 English majored juniors at Tay Do University in which 55 students randomly were chosen to complete the translation tests and the remaining ones (20 students) were selected to answer the interview questions. The results of this thesis showed that the English majors made errors in Vietnamese-English translation related to word order, grammar, and lexicon. It is hoped that this research can be helpful for both students and teachers in the process of learning and teaching translation.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0938/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
THE MEDIATING EFFECT OF ENTREPRENEURIAL MARKETING STRATEGY BETWEEN DYNAMIC CAPABILITIES AND COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IN THE WOMEN-OWNED ENTERPRISES IN MALAYSIA

Published: May 2022

<p>This research scrutinizes the influence of dynamic capabilities in achieving and sustaining competitive advantage by women who own enterprises in Malaysia. The contribution of the businesswomen is highly significant to the economy of the nation. Malaysian businesswomen strive hard to stay competitive in the business environment. Therefore, they understand the significance of dynamic capabilities to attain competitive advantage. However, dynamic capabilities in solo will not lead to competitive advantage because the businesswomen operate their business in a volatile business environment. Another significant factor that impacts competitive advantage is entrepreneurial marketing strategies. Therefore, the intervening effect of entrepreneurial marketing strategy between dynamic capabilities and competitive advantage was investigated in this research. A total of 1023 businesswomen imparted their views through questionnaires in this research. Additionally, in-depth literature was presented to reveal the association between dynamic capabilities, entrepreneurial marketing strategies, and competitive advantage of the businesswomen. The findings of this research implied a statistically significant relationship between dynamic capabilities and entrepreneurial marketing strategy as well as competitive advantage. Finally, all the hypotheses formulated for this study were supported by data, which illuminated that entrepreneurial marketing strategy statistically mediates the relationship between dynamic capabilities and competitive advantage of the women-owned enterprises in Malaysia. Moreover, this study verifies that the businesswomen in Malaysia who engage in dynamic capabilities will be able to apply entrepreneurial marketing strategies in their enterprises to achieve competitive advantage, ensuring the enterprise’s survival and success in an ever-changing business environment.</p><p> </p><p><strong>JEL</strong>: M10; M30; M31; L62</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0937/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
