Feeling our Way: A Trioethnography on Critical Affective Literacy for Applied Linguistics
Authors: Uddin Ahmed Anwar , Morgan Brian , Maciel Ruberval Franco 
Published: March 2022

This paper argues that attention to affect/emotion be given greater prominence in applied linguistics following a theoretical and pedagogical framework delineated as critical affective literacy (CAL) by Anwaruddin (2016). Following a brief description of key CAL principles, the authors explore the potency of affect and emotionality of texts by way of duo/trioethnography (Norris & Sawyer, 2012, 2017), a research methodology particularly relevant for exploring affective/emotional dimensions of language in educational domains (e.g., English for Academic Purposes, Language Teacher Education, English for Medical Purposes) and as part of broader socio-political deliberation. The authors detail specific features of duoethnographic research methodology (e.g., participant transparency and juxtaposition, epistemological and ideological risk-taking) that contribute to CAL principles and aspirations. In the final sections of the paper, the authors identify several implications of their trioethnography for the development of CAL in applied linguistics followed by brief descriptions of curricular and pedagogical innovation where affect/emotion has been integral to the pedagogical and literacy strategies described.
Key Words: affect; emotion; critical affective literacy; duoethnography; democratic pedagogies.

This study was conducted to assess the clinical characteristics, causative agents, complications, and outcomes of infective endocarditis (IE) among patients presenting to our tertiary care center over the last decade. This retrospective cohort study included all adult patients admitted to the Aga Khan University Hospital with the diagnosis of IE over a ten-year period from 2010 to 2020. Outcomes variables included complications during hospitalization, surgical intervention, mortality, and length of stay. We identified a total of 305 cases out of which 176 (58%) were males and 129 (42%) were females. The mean age of the patients was 46.9±18.8 years. 95 (31%) had prosthetic valves in place. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated in 54 (39%) patients followed by coagulase-negative Staphylococcus in 23 (17%). Echocardiography revealed vegetations and abscesses in 236 (77%) and 4 (1%) patients, respectively. The most common valvular complication was mitral valve regurgitation found in 26 (9%) patients, followed by tricuspid valve regurgitation in 13 (4%) patients and aortic valve regurgitation in 11 (3%) patients. Furthermore, 81 (27%) patients suffered from heart failure and 66 (22%) from a stroke during hospitalization. The mean hospital length of stay was 10.4 ± 10.6 days. 64 (21%) patients required surgical repair and the overall mortality rate was 25%. Prosthetic valve endocarditis (OR = 3.74, 95% CI = 2.15-6.50, p<0.001), chronic kidney disease (OR = 2.51, 95% CI = 1.15-5.47, p=0.036), previous stroke (OR = 2.42, 95% CI = 1.18-4.96, p=0.026), and ischemic heart disease (OR = 3.04, 95% CI = 1.50-6.16, p=0.003) were significantly associated with an increased risk of mortality. In conclusion, our study provided valuable data on the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with IE in a developing country. S. aureus was the most common causative agent. Heart failure and stroke were the most common complications. The presence of prosthetic valves, history of chronic kidney disease, ischemic heart disease and previous stroke were associated with a significantly increased risk of mortality. Surgical management was not associated with improved outcomes.
Fibrations in semitoric and generalized complex geometry
Authors: Cavalcanti Gil R. , Klaasse Ralph L. , Witte Aldo 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis paper studies a class of singular fibrations, called self-crossing boundary fibrations, which play an important role in semitoric and generalized complex geometry. These singular fibrations can be conveniently described using the language of Lie algebroids. We will show how these fibrations arise from (nonfree) torus actions, and how to use them to construct and better understand self-crossing stable generalized complex four-manifolds. We moreover show that these fibrations are compatible with taking connected sums, and use this to prove a singularity trade result between two types of singularities occurring in these types of fibrations (a so-called nodal trade).

Aim: We aimed to examine the diagnostic power of chest computerized tomography (CT) comparing with ‘Clinical Decision’ and RT-PCR results among the patients admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 disease suspicion.
Material and Method: This study included 162 patients who applied to the pandemic outpatient clinic between March 11 and April 11, 2020, suspected of new coronavirus infection, and had chest CT and RT-PCR tests at the same time. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), accuracy and positive odds ratio of RT-PCR and chest CT imaging are investigated for the diagnosis of COVID-19.
Results: It was found that 56.8% (92 patients) of chest CT scans taken at admission were compatible with viral pneumonia. With the ‘Clinical Decision’, which we accept as the gold standard diagnostic method, 61.1% of the patients (99 patients) were evaluated as COVID-19 positive and treatment was started. According to clinical decision, sensitivity of chest CT was 92.9%.
Conclusion: COVID-19 pneumonia is a serious life-threatening condition. Rapid diagnosis and early treatment are very important in terms of reducing mortality and morbidity. The chest CT might create an early diagnosis and treatment opportunity.

Authors: Turgay Türkan , Denkçeken Tuba , Maralcan Göktürk 
Published: March 2022

Objective: The correlation between lymphedema severity and stages determined by standard diagnostic methods and Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS) technique was examined in breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) patients.
Material and Methods: The bioimpedance analyzer device was connected to the 1.0 cm disc electrodes which were connected to the affected and unaffected (healthy) arm of the patients. We evaluated the performance of the impedance (Z) at multiple frequencies (5-50-100-200 kHz) and phase angle (PA), resistance (R), and reactance (XC) at 50 kHz on the lymphedema severity and stages. Bioimpedance measurements were applied to all volunteers in cooperation with the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Department. In this study, the correlation between BCRL severity and stages and bioimpedance values was examined.
Results: A total of 31 female patients were recruited to compare the BIS technique with standard diagnostic techniques. The severity of lymphedema was found among the patients as follows; mild 14 (45.2%), moderate 10 (32.3%), and severe 7 (22.6%). The stage distribution of volunteers was; 15 (48.4%) patients in Stage 0, 10 (32.3%) patients in Stage 1, 5 (16.1%) patients in Stage 2, and 1 (3.2%) patient in Stage 3. The ratio of affected and unaffected arm bioimpedance mean values were calculated. Although, this ratio at 50-100-200 kHz Z and 50kHz R were significantly correlated with the lymphedema stages (p< 0.05), there was no correlation and significant difference between the ratio of the bioimpedance values and lymphedema severity (p> 0.05).
Conclusion: The BIS technique is timesaving and can determine lymphedema stages. We found a significant correlation between BCRL stages and BIS, and it appears that BIS is an appropriate, inexpensive, simple, and noninvasive technique for detecting the stages of BCRL.

Authors: Öztaş Muharrem , Lapsekili Emin , Fatih Can Mehmet 
Published: March 2022

Objective: Laparoscopic liver resections have been performed with increasing frequency in recent years. With increasing surgical experience and technological developments, more complex laparoscopic liver resections can now be applied. Laparoscopic right posterior sectionectomy (LSPS) requires a sophisticated and highly challenging surgical technique due to the length of the parenchyma transection line and the camera out of view in laparoscopic surgery. The aim of this study was to share tips and tricks about resection which will contribute to the operation time and technique.
Material and Methods: Evaluation was made of the laparoscopic major liver resections performed consecutively between 2015-2020 in our center. During the resections, three different inflow control techniques were used; hilar, glassonian and intraparenchymal approach.
Results: A total of 14 LSPS surgeries were performed. Mean age of the patients was 51.6 ± 10.2 years (34-68), and mean operation time was 300 ± 58 (200-440) minutes. The Pringle maneuver was applied to all patients, with a mean time of 58.4 ± 14.4 (30-75) minutes. Mean perioperative bleeding was measured as 290 ± 105 (140-550) mL. Additional surgery was performed on six patients in the same session. Complications occurred in three patients. No perioperative mortality was observed.
Conclusion: LSPS is a technically difficult process, which requires advanced skills in both liver surgery and laparoscopic surgery. Surgeons should consider applying this method, which offers different advantages depending on the location and nature of the lesion, after completing the learning curve by performing laparoscopic liver surgery of the correct number and type. In our article, we stated the tips and tricks that make it easy to perform laparoscopic right posterior sectionectomies, which have been thought to be difficult until recently and these difficulties have been clearly stated in many articles.

Published: March 2022

Most of Indonesia’s oil field has been producing the oil for long period of time. For this reason, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method becomes the most promising method to improve oil production for the country. Chemical flooding, especially polymer flooding is the simplest and the most commonly applied chemical enhanced oil recovery technique, since it can be used after water flooding process. Screening is considered the first step in evaluating and selecting potential polymers for reservoirs. Therefore, this paper aims to select partially Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide (HPAM) base polymers to find suitable polymer for a targeted mature reservoir in Indonesia. A polymer screening study was carried out on 3 HPAM polymers to identify a potential candidate which can withstand reservoir conditions. These are Kerui, Zekindo, and FP 3630S. Initially, a comprehensive rheological (viscosity, shear rate) study was conducted at various polymer concentrations (500 - 2500 ppm) and brine to investigate the polymers. Then, filtration and screen factor test was conducted at various concentrations (1000 - 2000 ppm). Then, a thermal stability test was conducted at anaerobic condition and 140 °F for 2 months. Finally, for oil recovery used core flooding test. Based on the result of the test, FP 3630S with a concentration of 2000 ppm was chosen for the core flooding test. The test was designed in 3 steps: At first, water injected into the sample, followed by polymer-solvent at 2000 ppm concentrated of 1 PV, the finally injected by water. The results of core flooding showed oil recovery of 28.93 % OOIP. Finally, this study was performed to develop screening criteria and to correlate oil recovery prediction.
HIGHLIGHTS

One of the efforts to increase old field production is by choosing the right type of polymer to be injected
Polymer screening was carried out through testing stages, namely rheology, filtration and screen factor, thermal stability, and core flooding
Selected one type of polymer that meets all the qualifications of the screening tests

Elemen bukan fizikal merupakan elemen utama dalam pembentukan sempadan, terutamanya pembentukan sempadan identiti sesuatu kumpulan. Namun, artikel ini melihat bahawa pembentukan sempadan bukan fizikal ini tidak boleh difahami sebagai satu proses semula jadi kerana ia merupakan elemen yang dibentuk oleh proses tertentu. Dalam hal ini, penulis melihat bahawa salah satu daripada elemen penting yang membawa kepada wujudnya wacana hegemoni dalam pembentukan sempadan identiti ini adalah melalui elemen peristiwa. Oleh itu, artikel ini membincangkan bahawa peristiwa Tanduo di Sabah merupakan tragedi identiti masyarakat Tausug di negeri ini kerana peristiwa ini mewujudkan kebenaran sosial dalam kalangan masyarakat yang akhirnya membawa kepada imej negatif masyarakat Suluk di negeri Sabah. Jelasnya, pembentukan imej negatif ini terhasil daripada fungsi peristiwa tersebut dan menyebabkan ia menjadi salah satu fakta yang tidak dapat disangkal kebenarannya. Akibatnya, masyarakat Suluk dilihat sebagai bermasalah, perlu dijauhi, berbahaya dan seterusnya membawa kepada pembentukan pelbagai kategori Tausug yang sebelum ini berada dalam satu kategori yang sama. Dalam hal ini, penulis melihat jika sempadan fizikal boleh diperkukuhkan melalui peningkatan ketenteraan, artikel ini melihat pembentukan dasar-dasar yang berguna perlu dimainkan oleh badanbadan bukan kerajaan, ahli-ahli politik dan sebagainya terutamanya dalam mengurus persepsi yang berlaku ini.

A non-physical element is a key element in the border formation, particularly the formation of group's identity. However, this paper argues that the formation of this non-physical boundary cannot be understood as a natural process or pre-given but produced by a particular social and historical process. In this case, the authors argue that one of the crucial elements that led to the emergence of this hegemonic discourse of the identity formation is through the role of event. Therefore, this paper argues that Tanduo incident in 2013 was the tragedy of the Suluk identity formation in the state. The Tanduo incident has produced the particular kind of relationships, self/other and eventually led to the negative representation of the Suluk community in the state. Apparently, the formation of this negative representation is derived from the role of event, namely the Tanduo incident which produce a new reality, undeniable fact and truth about the Suluk. As a result of this self/other relationships, the Suluk community has been seen as problematic, to be shunned, dangerous and finally it leads to the formation of the bad and good Suluk categories. In this case, the author argues that, if the physical boundaries can be strengthened through military enforcement, this paper sees the non-governmental organizations, politicians, ruling government and various segments of Sabah society play a very crucial role especially in managing this negative perception towards Suluk community

Belia merupakan kumpulan penting kepada kelangsungan politik Malaysia. Peningkatan jumlah kumpulan belia yang mewakili hampir separuh populasi pengundi berdaftar di Malaysia menjadikan kumpulan ini penting kepada negara kerana mereka mampu menentukan keputusan pilihan raya. Hakikatnya, kumpulan anak muda ini sangat sensitif kepada perubahan yang berlaku di persekitaran mereka dan sangat kritikal kepada dasar-dasar kerajaan yang tidak memberikan keuntungan kepada mereka. Oleh itu, berdasarkan kajian tentang peranan belia dalam Pilihan raya Umum ke-14 (PRU) di Parlimen Silam (P.188) mendapati bahawa protes belia di Parlimen Silam dan tiga kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) (N.51 Kunak, N.50 Lahad Datu dan N.49 Tungku) di bawah Parlimen ini adalah disebabkan oleh kegagalan kerajaan terdahulu, iaitu Barisan Nasional (BN) dalam melaksanakan dasar dan program yang bermanfaat dan memberi keuntungan kepada belia. Protes ini diterjemahkan dalam bentuk undi ke atas Parti Warisan Sabah (PWS). Menyedari akan kepentingan belia kepada kelangsungan parti pemerintah, maka artikel ini menghujahkan bahawa parti pemerintah di peringkat nasional dan negeri pada hari ini perlu memberikan perhatian yang lebih serius ke atas isu keterpinggiran belia. Oleh itu, beberapa usaha mendekati belia perlu dilakukan secara konsisten dan ia bukan hanya menjadi rutin apabila tibanya musim pilihan raya.
AbstractThe youths are an essential group of voters in Malaysian politics. With the rising number of youths, representing almost half of registered voters in Malaysia, their roles are pertinent as they were able to determine the result of the election. This is because these groups of young peoples are susceptible to the changes that are taking place in their surroundings and they are also very critical of the government's policies that may not serve their interests. Based on the study carried out on the role of youth during the 14th General Election (GE-14) in the Parliament (P.188) Silam and three other state seats (N. 51 Kunak, N. 50 Lahad Datu and N. 49 Tungku), it was found that the protest among youths in these Parliament constituents was due to the failure of the previous government, Barisan Nasional (BN) in implementing policies and programs that benefitted the youths. They translated their protests in the form of casting their votes to choose the opposition party, i.e. Parti Warisan Sabah (PWS) to come into power. Recognizing the importance of the youths in determining the survival of the ruling party, this article concludes that the current government at the state and national level needs to give serious attention to the issue of the marginalisation among the youths. Therefore, more efforts should be undertaken to reach out and to engage the youths on a regular basis as opposed to the previous practices of only approaching them before and during election season.
