Global perspectives on linguacultural variation in academic publishing

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract This primarily interview-based study explores the perspectives of published applied linguists around the world on what has facilitated their success in reaching multiple readerships. The focus, more specifically, is on scholars in non-English-dominant settings, a number of whom have made a commitment to both inter- and intranational academic publication, and their perceptions of intercultural rhetoric issues salient in various linguacultural contexts. The findings indicated that such scholars were divided in their views on whether or not there are considerable differences in the rhetorical expectations of international Anglophone and more region-specific, or intranational, journal audiences. What this study’s participants shared was an appreciation of the complexities of authorial cross-contextual negotiation of multiple research worlds, only some of which are Anglophone.
Developing a Quality Improvement Project: Evaluating Nurses’ Knowledge, Perceptions, Attitudes, and Beliefs Regarding Sleep Promotion in the ICU

Field: Nursing (Health Sciences)

"Objective: The purpose of this Doctoral of Nursing Practice (DNP) project was to conduct a survey to evaluate nurses’ knowledge, perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs regarding sleep promotion in the ICU. Background: Critically ill patients admitted into the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are introduced into unfamiliar environments with numerous interruptions that interfere with proper sleep. Sleep deprivation among critically ill patients can have detrimental consequences for the patient and organization. Competing nursing priorities, lack of knowledge, opposing perceptions, and lack of resources prevent the implementation of strategies to promote patient sleep. Methods: This project used a descriptive design to conduct the assessment. A web-based survey was distributed to assess nurses’ knowledge, beliefs, attitudes and perceptions regarding sleep promotion in the ICU to help identify areas for improvement and barriers to implement an effective quality improvement plan. Setting: A 30-bed ICU at an academic medical center with 268 licensed beds in Phoenix, AZ with medical-surgical, cardiac, neurological, vascular, and transplant patient populations. Participants: Sample of 57 out of 175 critical care nurses who work in this project’s ICU setting. Findings: ICU nurses demonstrated concern for lack of sleep among critically ill patients, but it is difficult to promote due to competing priorities and tasks. Nurses overall understood the negative effects of sleep disruption among critically ill patients, but discussed the importance of maintaining staff accountability, working collaboratively with the interdisciplinary team, promoting consistency in care, and obtaining support and resources from administration to implement effective interventions. Implementation: Identified barriers and gaps should be utilized to direct quality improvement efforts that help promote uninterrupted sleep among critically ill patients."
Integrated Use of Legume Green Manure and Inorganic Fertilizer on Soil Health, Nutrient Uptake and Productivity of Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) in Shifting Cultivation of Assam

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A field experiment was carried out for three successive years from 2000–2003 in degraded jhum fallow at Silonijan (Karbi Anglong) Assam to study the impact of integrated use of green manure along with inorganic fertilizer on yield and nutrient status of soil. The treatment combination consisted of Gmelina arborea and Trewa nudiflora as green manure and combined application of green manure along with recommended dose of NPK fertilizer. Study revealed that grain and straw yield of rice increased over control in both the treatment studied and it was found to be more significant in integrated application of green manure and inorganic fertilizer. Combined application of green manure and inorganic fertilizer increased N and K uptake of rice and highest value was recorded as 21.56kg/h in G. arborea and 53.04 kg/h in T. nudiflora treated plot respectively. Significant increase of organic carbon and NPK content of soil was also recorded in combined treatment. From the study it was concluded that G. arborea and T. nudiflora could be used as green manure and when applied with inorganic fertilizer it contributed a lot to improve degraded jhum fallow by increasing productivity and nutrient status of soil.
Ovarian Vein Thrombosis After Miscarriage: A Case Report

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Ovarian vein thrombosis usually presents within 7 days after delivery. Clinically, patients appear very ill, and their accompanying symptoms include back pain, fever, and abdominal pain. In these patients, the right ovarian vein is more probable (80% vs 6%). Case Presentation: A 24-year-old pregnant woman with fetal death (13 - 14 weeks of gestational age) received 600 μg of misoprostol every 12 hours 2 days after the abortion. She had right and left lower quadrant pain. In ultrasound, left ovarian thrombosis was reported, and abdominal computed tomography (CT) confirmed the diagnosis of ovarian vein thrombosis. Blood analysis of antiphospholipid syndrome was normal. Conclusions: Ovarian vein thrombosis has irreparable and significant side effects; thus, it is important to accurately diagnose it and check its radiographic findings.
Evolution and Its Factors of Spatial Distribution of Inbound Tourism Size in China

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Based on the prefecture-level data of inbound tourism population and relative economic statistics,this paper investigates the evolution and its factors of the spatial distribution disparity and its interior structure of inbound tourism size in China using Gini coefficient and principal component regression model in 1999-2008.The conclusions are drawn as follows: 1) On the whole,the spatial disparity remains large but becomes smaller and smaller in China and the Three Zones in the past 10 years,and the evolutions of interior structure for the different sizes are consistent with its whole trend.On the other hand,as the sizes increase,the imbalance of spatial distribution is smaller,while the dispersive trend is more significant.2) The change between the imbalance of spatial distribution and the dispersive trend remains samilar in different spatial levels.As a whole,the spatial disparity is largest in the Western Zone,and is smallest in the Middle Zone.While the dispersive trend is most significant in the Middle Zone,and is most inapparent in the West Zone.On the same time,the analysis on the provincial disparity and its evolution testify the above conclusions.Then the distribution type is presented based on the provincial disparity and its evolution.But the situation becomes slightly complicated.The spatial disparity is largest in the Eastern Zone when the size is above 10 000 person-time,and the dispersive trend is most significant in the Western Zone when the size is 200 000 person-time.3) The positive relation is existed between the spatial distribution change of inbound tourist size and tourism development condition improvement.In the transition period of the holistic development of local tourism industry and the structural change of tourist demand,the influences of the factors,such as economic development,industry structure optimizing,the degree of economic open,market development and infrastructure construction and so on,are more and more significant for reducing the spatial disparity of local inbound tourism size,indicating that the mechanism of tourism development has been drived by multi-factors.
Immunoaffinity Chromatography of Carcinogen DNA Adducts With Polyclonal Antibodies Directed Against Benzo[<italic>a</italic>]pyrene Diol-epoxide-DNA<xref ref-type="fn" rid="FN1">2</xref>

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Polyclonal antibodies specific for (+/-)-trans-7 beta,8 alpha-dihydroxy-9 alpha,10 alpha-oxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene [(BPDE) CAS: 58917-67-2]-DNA adducts were obtained from the sera of New Zealand White rabbits immunized with BPDE-DNA. These antibodies did not recognize benzo[a]pyrene [(BP) CAS: 50-32-8] or DNA alone or other carcinogen adducts, such as aflatoxin (CAS: 1402-68-2)-DNA or aminopyrene (CAS: 58-15-1)-DNA, up to the concentrations used. In a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, 0.18 microgram BPDE-DNA/ml (single stranded), equivalent to 7 pmol BPDE adduct, caused 50% inhibition with this antibody. (When referring to the DNA content of BPDE-DNA, the authors gave the concentration in microgram/ml; when referring to the BPDE content of BPDE-DNA, the authors gave the concentration as pmol/ml.) Chemical and enzymic modifications of the BPDE-DNA substrate suggested that the epitope for the antibody is greater than that represented by a BPDE-nucleoside adduct. The specific BPDE-DNA antibodies were covalently bound to cyanogen bromide-activated Sepharose 4B, and the extent of ligand binding to the immunoaffinity column was measured with the use of [3H]BPDE-DNA as substrate. Maximum binding to the immunoaffinity column was obtained after DNase 1 digestion of [3H]BPDE-DNA: The bound adducts could be readily eluted from the column with 50 mM NaOH. The binding of DNase 1-digested [3H]BPDE-DNA to the immunoaffinity column was dose related and not affected by the addition of unmodified DNA. The columns have proven to be reusable. Samples of [3H]BP-DNA isolated from the skin of mice treated topically with either 0.75 mumol [3H]BP/mouse or 1.5 mumol [3H]BP/mouse were examined by immunoaffinity chromatography. Binding values of 6.0 and 12.2 pmol BP/mg DNA were obtained; these values from immunoaffinity chromatography were slightly lower than those determined by high-pressure liquid chromatography analysis (9 and 17 pmol BP/mg DNA). With chemically reacted BPDE-DNA, around 70% of that applied was retained by immunoaffinity chromatography, whereas with [3H]BP-DNA isolated from the in vivo treatment of mouse skin, only 40% was retained--a possible reflection of the greater heterogeneity of the in vivo BP-DNA adducts. This immunoaffinity chromatography technique should prove useful in the selective examination of levels of BPDE-DNA adducts present in biological samples.
Investigating the effect of surgery time on improving the performance of fine movements of lower limbs in patients with traumatic spinal cord injury

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (TSCI) is one of the catastrophic events, the rate of which has been growing compared to the past decades. Complications caused by TSCI have a wide spectrum and can range from complete paralysis to numbness of the limbs. Additional to the injury severity and disability of the patient, the recovery rate depends on the treatment strategies. Despite extensive efforts and research in this field, there are still few treatment options for TSCI patients. Controversial results have been reported, however, spinal cord decompression is the only certainty for the treatment of these patients. In the present study, patients with thoracic and lumbar fractures were undergone decompression, less and more than 24 hours, and the recovery rate (RR) was compared after 6 months. Methods: In this study, patients with lumbar and thoracic fractures who were referred to the neurosurgery department of Ahvaz Golestan Hospital during May 2019 to December 2021 were included. Decompression was performed at the fracture level as a total and at the upper and lower levels of the fracture as a partial decompression. To evaluate fine motor movements, picking up a small object with toes and following a rectangular path were used. Also, the gross motor movements, upper and lower proximal and distal muscle forces were measured. Results: 160 patients including 133 men (83.1%) and 16.9% women (27) with 36±12 years mean age were included. The most fracture location was lumbar (53.1%), followed by the thoracic (43.1%) and fractures in both regions (3.8%). The most injured vertebras were L1 (27.5%) and T12 (18.8%). Six months later, 61.9% of patients had a good score for removing a small object with toe, of which 67.5% belonged to patients with<24 hours surgery (P=0.01). Also, RR for ability to follow a rectangle (P=0.017) and lower limit gross motor were significantly better in patients with<24 surgery (P=0.02). However, no significant difference was found between the two groups for improved sensations (P<0.05). Conclusion: This study showed that decompression<24 hours in TSCI is associated with a significant improvement in lower fine movements.
Articles of Significant Interest in This Issue

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Environment-friendly antibiofilm molecules are urgently needed to be used in medicine and various other fields. Jouault et al. (e00893-20) described the antibiofilm protein alterocin, which is active against a wide range of bacteria, including human pathogens. Genes for alterocin and its homologs were found in marine bacteria, mostly from the Pseudoalteromonas genus. This protein family likely plays an important function in the biology of producer bacteria and is thus of ecological interest, in addition to having biotechnological potential.
Mixed-sex in sport for development: a pragmatic and symbolic device

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Following the success of its all-male refugee football team, the Italian voluntary-based association Liberi Nantes created a touch rugby team as a pilot project aimed at involving female forced migrants. Initially set up as an all-woman activity to provide a less intimidating environment, the touch rugby group was later turned into a mixed-sex team. While potentially enabling transformative experiences and generating opportunities for
challenging gender stereotypes, the mixed-gender character of the touch rugby provision also served broader objectives within Liberi Nantes’ mission. Focusing on the accounts of the activists and volunteers involved in the project, this paper investigates the practical and symbolic reasons for the strategic use of mixed-gender sport and its implications. Notably, by analysing the development of the touch rugby team, we highlight how its mixed-gender nature contributes to nourishing a wider rhetoric of social mixing and celebration of diversity, in which Liberi Nantes’ identity is embedded.
Public Management: Recent Research on the Political Context and Managerial Roles, Structures, and Behaviors

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Public management has been rapidly developing as a subfield. Since other recent reviews have discussed many disciplinary and paradigmatic issues, this one concentrates on developments in research on the distinctive characteristics of public managers and the organizations in which they work. It takes aframework developed over a decade ago to describe propositions about public managers and organizations prevalent at that time, and describes how those observations have fared in conceptual and empirical work since then.
Detection of Bartonella DNA in Cat Blood with Nested-PCR

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Three different nested-PCR assays were evaluated in terms of their ability to detect Bartonella DNA in catblood samples. The primer pairs used were parts of the citrate synthase (gltA) gene, heat shock protein (htrA) gene and 16S-23S rRNA intergenic region (ITS) gene, respectively. Of the 29 culture-positive cats-blood samples, Bartonella DNA was detected in 20 (68.9%) by the gltA nested-PCR and htrA nested-PCR. The ITS nested- PCR detected Bartonella DNA in 26 of 29 (89.7%). In two of 29 specimens, none of the gene examined was detected. These results indicate that the nested-PCR is a useful tool for the detection of Bartonella DNA in cat-blood samples.
Comparative evaluation of three flow cytometers for reticulocyte enumeration

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Flow cytometric determination of reticulocytosis is progressively replacing the manual microscopic method. We evaluated three flow cytometers (Becton Dickinson FACScan, Coulter EPICS Profile II, Ortho Cytoron Absolute) for reticulocyte enumeration, using thiazole orange. For each sample, 30,000 cells were analysed. In order to comparatively evaluate the three instruments, reticulocytes were counted by manually gating the erythroid population and evaluating the gated population for fluorescence characteristics. The different instruments showed good linearity and precision. No carry-over was observed. Orthogonal regression analysis of reticulocyte counts of 100 healthy blood donor samples and 108 haematological patient samples showed a good mutual comparability between all three instruments tested, although the paired t-test showed a significant difference between the Cytoron and both the FACScan and the Profile. Despite minor statistical differences, the three instruments can be considered equivalent for daily routine reticulocyte enumeration.
Effective Recognition of Different Types of Amino Groups: From Aminobenzenesulfonamides to Amino-(N-alkyl)benzenesulfonamides via Iridium-Catalyzed N-Alkylation with Alcohols

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

A simple, highly efficient, and general strategy for the direct synthesis of amino-(N-alkyl)benzenesulfonamides has been accomplished via direct N-alkylation of aminobenzenesulfonamides bearing both different types of amino groups with alcohols as alkylating agents. Notably, this research exhibited the potential for the recognition of different types of amino groups in the N-alkylation of complex molecules with alcohols, facilitating the progress of the transition-metal-catalyzed "hydrogen autotransfer (or hydrogen-borrowing) process."
When Does RFID Make Business Sense for Managing Supply Chain?

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is believed to change how supply chains operate today. While RFID’s promise for improved inventory visibility and automation in inventory management is making many supply chain players hopeful for increased sales and reduced operating costs, these benefits do come at a cost and involve risks. This article presents a financial returns analysis that captures RFID’s costs and benefits, and quantifies the financial risks of implementing RFID for various business sizes and products with different unit profits to understand when RFID makes business sense. More precisely, the returns analysis is performed using an econometric model to understand how break-even sales volumes, unit profits, tag prices, return on investment, and risks vary between a manufacturer and a retailer in a supply chain. The results are extended to multiproduct cases as well. A sensitivity analysis is also performed to understand the returns in pessimistic and optimistic scenarios.
The Effect of Virtual Reality Level of Immersion on Spatial Learning Performance and Strategy Usage

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The utilization of the immersive and ecological nature of head-mounted displayed (HMD) virtual reality (VR) has been increasing in studies of human spatial learning, and various aspects of VR's impact on navigation have been examined. Nevertheless, the effect the VR level of immersion has on spatial learning strategy usage is yet to be determined. Here, we addressed this gap by comparing spatial learning properties and experience measures in three modality settings. We translated a classic spatial learning task from animals to humans, where three spatial learning strategies were observed (place/cue/response). We compared 3 conditions: wearing a VR headset while physically walking vs. using a controller, and a 2D screen display using a mouse and a keyboard for navigation. We examined various learning properties and used presence questionnaires to analyze experience measures. Our results show that learning measures including strategy usage were affected by the VR level of immersion, suggesting that modality characteristics should be considered during VR task design.

Regional distribution of polyadenylated mRNA in Xenopus laevis embryos.

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Xenopus laevis embryos were dissected into dorsal and ventral regions in post-gastrula stages. Polyadenylated and nonpolyadenylated ribonucleic acids were separated on oligo (dT) cellulose and translated in vitro. The radioactivity incorporated into the translation products directed by polyadenylated and nonpolyadenylated messenger ribonucleic acids shows that in the dorsal region most proteins are synthesized on polyadenylated messenger ribonucleic acid templates in all the stages, while in the ventral region the major templates seem to be, until the neural fold stage, nonpolyadenylated messenger ribonucleic acids. Later the polyadenylated messenger ribonucleic acid activity there too increases.
High-Throughput Study of Poly(ethylene glycol)/Ibuprofen Formulations under Controlled Environment Using FTIR Imaging

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Simultaneous analysis of many samples under identical conditions improves the effectiveness of research and accelerates product design. A novel spectroscopic imaging approach using a multichannel detector has been developed for parallel analysis of pharmaceutical formulations under controlled environments. Samples of formulations of ibuprofen in poly(ethylene glycol) have been prepared with ibuprofen concentrations ranging from 0 to 100% using a microdroplet deposition approach. The concentration of ibuprofen in PEG at which dimerization of ibuprofen molecules can be avoided has been determined via simultaneous measurement of all samples using in situ FTIR spectroscopic imaging. FTIR spectra from all samples have been analyzed to assess the molecular state of the drug and the degree of polymer swelling as a function of drug concentration. The effect of elevated temperature on the stability of all formulations was also studied. This high-throughput approach identified the concentration range for stable formulations and provided evidence that hydrogen bonding between ibuprofen and the polymer is responsible for enhanced stability at higher temperatures. This high-throughput imaging approach, based on a miniature sampling system, significantly reduces the experimental time by allowing many (potentially a few thousand) experiments to be run in parallel and increases the accuracy by minimizing variations between experiments.
