The Lack of Female Consciousness as Exemplified by the Female Characters in The Others

Female issues are hotly debated no matter what time of the year it is, Jiang Heji's novel The Others published in 2023 is a novel about women's issues, and his women's images are three-dimensional and vivid, and the novel itself is very innovative, Jiang Heji takes the more sensitive issues of sexual assault and domestic violence as a subject matter of writing, and builds up the real lives of three women: Kim Zhenya, Yang Xiuzhen, and He Youli through the subjective perspectives of different characters. This paper tries to base on the female images in Jiang Heji's The Others, to systematically explore the female images in Jiang Heji's The Others by using the methods of interpretation and close reading of the text, to analyse the reasons for the lack of female consciousness of the female images in the novels, and to discuss the consequences of the lack of female consciousness of female images in the novels, so as to find ways to solve the problem of the lack of female consciousness.

Self-Regulated Learning Phases in Interpretive Reading Course: How are They Presented in the Lesson Plan?

This paper aims to provide insight on how Self-regulated learning strategy is implemented in a classroom by presenting how three phases of the strategy; Forethought and Planning phase, Monitoring Performance phase, and Reflection on Performance phase; are shown in the lesson plan of Literal Reading Course at university level to support independent learning skill. This is a case study observing the lesson plan of Literal Reading course in a private university in Central Java, Indonesia. It shows the examples on how each phase of the strategy is realized in the lesson plan considering the aim of the phase which is mentioned to be important to help student become familiar with the course and prepare themselves before joining the sessions of the lecture. Integrating the phases in the lesson plan helps students to be more confident and motivated in joining the lecture since they know what they will face in advance instead of getting sudden materials from the lecturer. It can be inferred that the implementation of the strategy is considered complete by arranging a lesson plan that matches the phases of Self-regulated learning strategy to support the process of Literal Reading learning that is expected to guide students during the lecture.

Brain computed tomography reading of stroke patients by resident doctors from different medical specialities: An eye-tracking study

BackgroundUsing the eye-tracking technique, our work aimed to examine whether difference in clinical background may affect the training outcome of resident doctors’ interpretation skills and reading behaviour related to brain computed tomography (CT). MethodsTwelve resident doctors in the neurology, radiology, and emergency departments were recruited. Each participant had to read CT images of the brain for two cases. We evaluated each participant’s accuracy of lesion identification. We also used the eye-tracking technique to assess reading behaviour. We recorded dwell times, fixation counts, run counts, and first-run dwell times of target lesions to evaluate visual attention. Transition entropy was applied to assess the temporal relations and spatial dynamics of systematic image reading. ResultsThe eye-tracking results showed that the image reading sequence examined by transition entropy was comparable among resident doctors from different medical specialties (p = 0.82). However, the dwell time of the target lesions was shorter for the resident doctors from the neurology department (4828.63 ms, p = 0.01) than for those from the resident doctors from the radiology (6275.88 ms) and emergency (5305.00 ms) departments. The eye-tracking results in individual areas of interest only showed differences in the eye-tracking performance of the first-run dwell time (p = 0.05) in the anterior cerebral falx. DiscussionOur findings demonstrate that resident doctors from different medical specialties may achieve similar imaging reading patterns for brain CT. This may mitigate queries regarding the influence of different backgrounds on training outcomes.

FIRST DHA-PRODUCING KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE ISOLATED FROM A URINARY TRACT INFECTION IN ROMANIA

Beta-lactamase production is a major antibiotic resistance determinant in Enterobacterales. A carbapenemresistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate was recovered from routine screening in a tertiary urology hospital. The strain was evaluated phenotypically using the interpretative reading of an extended disk diffusion antibiogram and for specific antibiotics, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was performed. Phenotypic tests were further performed such as the CIM, mCIM, rCIM, the double disk synergy test, Blue Carba Test, and NGTEST® CARBA-5 and carbapenemase production was not confirmed. The isolate was sequenced and multiple resistance genes were identified. This report signifies the first description of DHA-1 in a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain in Romania.

Judicial Practice as a Formal Basis for Restricting Human Rights and Freedoms

The paper deals with the issue of the formal grounds for restricting human rights and freedoms. Using the cases from the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the author confirms that judges’ creativity in the form of judicial decisions can restrict rights and freedoms, which means that it can be a formal basis for their restriction. The classic list of formal grounds, containing normative acts of various levels (from the federal constitutional law and the decree of the President of the Russian Federation to the resolution of the highest official of the constituent entity), is supplemented by judicial decisions. Decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the legal standings of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, including reviews of judicial practice, can separately be considered as formal grounds for restrictions of rights and freedoms, whereas the decisions of arbitrazh courts and courts of general jurisdiction separately do not act as formal grounds for restrictions, since they act in a targeted manner. They become formal grounds when judges make many decisions with the same interpretation (reading) of a legal norm that goes beyond its literal interpretation and restricts the rights and freedoms of the man and citizen. The established judicial practice concerning restriction of rights and freedoms must meet the same criteria as other formal grounds for restrictions, i.e., impose proportionate restrictions corresponding to the objectives set out in the Constitution of the Russian Federation.

Normative Foundations of Kant’s Cosmopolitan Right: The Overlooked Legacy of Kant’s Metaphysics of Nature

AbstractKant’s philosophy of natural science has traditionally concentrated on a host of issues including the role of laws of nature and teleological judgements. However, so far, the literature has made virtually no contact with the no less important tradition in Kant’s legal and political philosophy. This article explores one aspect of such connection in relation to the normative foundations of Kant’s notion of cosmopolitan right. I argue that Kant’s argument for cosmopolitan right is based on two main premises: the first is what I call thelaw of equilibrium, and the second is thepremise of physical interaction(commerciumin Latin) at work behind what Kant called the original ‘community of land’. The article argues that the relevant notion of community quacommerciumshould be understood in the context of Kant’s metaphysics of nature as a ‘real community of substances’ governed by a dynamical law of equality of action and reaction. This metaphysical-causal interpretive reading has far-reaching implications for the foundations of cosmopolitan right and its scope of applicability well beyond Kant’s envisaged right to universal hospitality.

Neurotechnologies and brain codes: the importance of legislation in deconstructive key

In the article, ethical conflicts arising from the application of neurotechnologies in the human body were analyzed. Although these external devices were presented as potential solutions to certain pathologies, it was observed that they could also be used in healthy individuals and interfere with brain activity, thereby generating the main concern around neuro-rights. However, to carry out this investigation, the focus was on the mind-brain relationship and moral dilemmas. Finally, a connection was established between neuroscience and Derridean and Nancyan thought. This allowed for an understanding, from an interpretative reading of the French philosopher's thought, of the interpretation of writing as brain codes and the urgency of legislating neuro-rights in the face of a potentially dangerous future

How Has Statistical Testing in Orthopedics Changed Over Time? An Assessment of High Impact Journals Over 25 Years

It is important for physicians to be familiar with statistical techniques commonly used in published medical research. Statistical errors in medical literature are common, and there is a reported lack of understanding regarding statistical knowledge necessary for data interpretation and journal reading. As study design has become increasingly complex, peer-reviewed literature poorly addresses and explains the most common statistical methods utilized across leading orthopedic journals. Articles from 5 leading general and subspecialty orthopedic journals were compiled from 3 distinct time periods. After exclusions were applied, 9521 remained, and a random 5% sampling of these articles, balanced across journals and years, was conducted yielding 437 articles after additional exclusions. Information regarding the number of statistical tests used, power/sample size calculation, type of statistical tests used, level of evidence (LOE), study type, and study design was collected. The mean number of statistical tests across all 5 orthopedic journals increased from 1.39 to 2.29 by 2018 (p = 0.007). The percentage of articles that reported power/sample size analyses was not found to differ by year, but the value has increased from 2.6% in 1994 to 21.6% in 2018 (p = 0.081). The most commonly used statistical test was the t-test which was present in 20.5% of articles, followed by chi-square test (13%), Mann-Whitney analysis (12.6%) and analysis of variance (ANOVA, 9.6%). The mean number of tests was generally greater in articles from higher impact factor journals (p = 0.013). Studies with a LOE of I used the highest mean number of statistical tests (3.23) compared to studies with lower LOE ratings (range 1.66-2.69, p < 0.001). Randomized control trials used the highest mean number of statistical test (3.31), while case series used the lowest mean number of tests (1.57, p < 0.001). The mean number of statistical tests used per article has increased over the past 25 years with the t-test, chi-square test, Mann-Whitney analysis, and ANOVA being the most used statistical tests in leading orthopedic journals. Despite an increase in statistical tests it should be noted that there was a paucity in advance statistical testing within the orthopedic literature. This study displays important trends in data analysis and can serve as a guide to help clinicians and trainees better understand the statistics used in literature as well as identifying deficits within the literature that should be addressed to help progress the field of orthopedics.

THE PARABOLIC STRUCTURE OF GOSPEL PARABLES

The article is devoted to the analysis of the special parabolic structure of the evangelical parables. It is not only about the actual literary understanding of the parabola as a stylistic device, with the help of which foreign language expression is carried out, but also about a mathematical graph – a curved curve, divided at the point of intersection into two symmetrical branches. In the structure of the evangelical parable, these branches can be represented as real-factographic and symbolic interpretive plans, between which there is a direct semantic dependence. All narrative situations that make up the real plan of the parable and are represented by the right branch of the parabola must be interpreted in the same sequence to build a symmetrical left branch. In the article, the parabolic structure of two symmetrical plans is demonstrated on the example of two gospel parables well-known in culture: The Parable of the Prodigal Son [Luk. 15, 11 32] and Proverbs about ten virgins [Matt. 15, 1–11]. Obviously, a similar way of interpretive reading of the Gospel parables can be qualified as a fullfledged hermeneutic technique of analysis of other biblical works.

Evaluation of Antibiograms Interpretation Training Needs of Medical Biology Residents at Ibn Rochd University Hospital.

In order to determine domains with the most difficulties and plan a relevant training, the aim of this study was to assess training needs of medical biology residents at the Ibn Rochd University Hospital of Casablanca, concerning antibiograms interpretation. A descriptive and comparative study was carried out in February 2022, with two resident groups. The first one included all residents in training in the bacteriology-virology laboratory and having spent at least 2 months. The 2nd one included residents who had validated their course (9 months). Data were collected from collective interviews and a self-administered questionnaire with a qualitative and quantitative grid analysis. Residents expressed needs in the three learning domains (knowledge, know-how, interpersonal skills) but they were low to moderate (scores from 0.2/4 to 2.4/4). Priority topics for training were: interpretation of observed phenotypes (5.85/8), followed by interpretative reading according to EUCAST recommendations (5.05/8). The two groups' responses were similar, except for the know-how domain of natural resistance mechanisms where the needs were greater in G1 (p = 0.008). In the light of these results, additional training with relevant aims should be planned.

Optische Autritte. Marktszenen in der medialen Konkurrenz von Journal-, Almanachs- und Bücherliteratur by Stephanie Gleißner et al.

Reviewed by: Optische Autritte. Marktszenen in der medialen Konkurrenz von Journal-, Almanachs- und Bücherliteratur by Stephanie Gleißner et al. Catriona MacLeod Stephanie Gleißner, Mirela Husiü, Nicola Kaminski, and Volker Mergenthaler. Optische Autritte. Marktszenen in der medialen Konkurrenz von Journal-, Almanachs- und Bücherliteratur. Hannover: Wehrhahn, 2019. 243 pp. The second, collaboratively authored volume of, at last count, six impressive books to have emerged from the DFG research group on German Journalliteratur [End Page 193] based in Bochum, Optische Auftritte brings to vivid life the market competition among books, Unterhaltungsblätter, almanacs, and gift books from the first boom of serial literary publications around 1800 to the ebbing appeal of such works by midcentury. By that late phase, August Wilhelm Schlegel's comments on the Taschenbuch in his Flaxman essay of 1799 appeared to have come home to roost: Schlegel had disparaged its small format, "unpoetic" genre illustrations, and a seeming disconnection between text and image in its pages. (Of course, at this time engravings still had to be printed and bound separately into the Taschenbuch—until wood engraving began to take over in the 1840s allowing text and image to be printed together on a single page.) The overall chronological orientation of Optische Auftritte is insightfully complemented by a dazzling sequence of seven detailed geographical case studies centered punctually on the most important publication centers and their often competitive interactions: Berlin (1802–04), Stuttgart (1816–17), Vienna (1825–28), Vienna and Leipzig (1825–27), Leipzig (1838–40), Vienna and Pesth (1840–42), and finally Berlin once again (1847–48). It would have been useful for the reader, however, if the thematic emphases of these individual chapters had been added to the title headings in the table of contents (e.g., the Taschenbuch as art gallery in the chapter "Wien/Leipzig 1825–27"), especially since there is no index. The stage is set with a brilliant analysis by Kaminski and Mergenthaler of E. T. A. Hoffmann's panoramic Gendarmenmarkt narrative "Des Vetters Eckfenster," first published serially in 1822 in the Berlin weekly paper Der Zuschauer. As Hoffmann's story shows, publications such as Der Zuschauer are part of a dynamic and changeable literary marketplace; as material objects, Taschenbücher are also aware of their own marketability as desirable fashion items promoted at fall book fairs in time for Christmas, and they even can be said to stage themselves self-reflexively as marketplaces. Befitting the title, Optische Auftritte, one of the most attractive but also illuminating aspects of this book is its rich color illustration. The volume builds on recent scholarship on illustration that views illustrations not as secondary or supplementary but as constitutive, meaning-making parts of the book culture to which they became integral in the nineteenth century (Günter Oesterle has referred to the "Bebilderungsprogramm" that was a driver of literary culture). While many of the journals discussed could, to be sure, be accessed online, the selections made in this volume highlight information that could not be conveyed by scrolling through individual issues on digital library platforms. In many cases, it is a matter of helpful visual comparisons between journals (focusing on illustrations, bindings, typography, mise-en-page, format, and other elements, including in one case even glued-in mirrors). To cite only one especially striking example, in the section on Brockhaus's 1839 telling switch to book format for the prestige Taschenbuch Urania, the reader can scan, as if it were on a bookshelf, a neat line-up of colorfully bound sextodecimo volumes, culminating in the visual surprise, the outsize, sparely elegant octavo publication of the Neue Folge—what Kaminski terms a "Mesalliance." At the same time, the title Optische Auftritte, with its announced (and superbly realized) focus on the visual components of journals and Taschenbücher, does not do full justice to the subtle interpretive readings woven throughout the text that reveal the constant, symbiotic interplay between literary texts, illustrations, and medial self-reflection, which did not end even as the tensions between art and economics intensified and such publications started to pass out of fashion [End Page 194] themselves. A fashion plate in the Wiener Zeitschrift of 1842, for example, which published serial...

Usefulness of EUCAST rapid antibiotic susceptibility breakpoints and screening cut-off values directly from blood cultures for the inference of β-lactam resistance mechanisms in Enterobacterales.

Reducing the turnaround time for reporting antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results is important for adjusting empirical treatments and may impact clinical outcomes of septic patients, particularly in settings with high antimicrobial resistance. Disc diffusion could be useful for inferring β-lactam resistance mechanisms. To evaluate the usefulness of EUCAST rapid AST (RAST) disc diffusion breakpoints for the screening of resistance mechanisms (sRAST) and interpretive reading of resistance phenotypes to infer ESBL and carbapenemases production in Enterobacterales. Blood cultures were artificially spiked with Enterobacterales clinical isolates with well-characterized β-lactam resistance mechanisms (n = 93), WT phenotypes (n = 26) and ATCC strains (n = 8). AST was performed by disc diffusion directly from blood cultures and inhibition zones were manually measured at 4, 6 and 8 h. To infer the presence of resistance mechanisms, EUCAST RAST breakpoints and screening cut-off values (sRAST) combined with the double-disc synergy test (DDS) for ESBLs or aztreonam susceptibility for carbapenemases detection were used. DDS together with sRAST detected all ESBL producers as early as at 4 h incubation. Cefotaxime was the antibiotic with the highest discriminatory power. The suspicion of carbapenemase production by sRAST at 8 h was possible in 73% of Klebsiella pneumoniae and in 100% of Escherichia coli carbapenemase-producing isolates. Phenotypic analysis improves the detection of some low hydrolytic carbapenemases (OXA-48 or KPC-3 mutants). Early detection of β-lactam resistance mechanisms directly from positive blood cultures was possible using sRAST together with the interpretive reading of antibiotic resistance phenotypes. Some carbapenemase types such as OXA-48 might be difficult to infer. Screening-positive isolates should be confirmed using an alternative technique.

Revealing the Place: Sacred Architecture along the Portuguese Coastline

Revealing the place addresses the referential role of sacred architecture elements that dot the Portuguese Atlantic coastline in contemporary architectural pedagogy and in the practice of architecture. The long Portuguese coastline, the case study of the research, is dotted with sacred architectural elements—sanctuaries, churches, chapels and crosses—oriented according to both compositional and canonical cosmological principles. The character of the space of articulation between the land and the sea is made evident by the tension between the sacred elements and the landscape. This paper addresses this relation, resorting to decomposition interpretative drawings and arguments that uncover the formal relationships between sacred architecture and the landscape, proposing an interpretative reading of the built elements that combines type and place. Furthermore, it discusses the transposition of composition principles from sacred to secular architecture, building an analogy for the typological transfer process, considering the transference of existing qualities in sacred architecture for contemporary architectural projects. The hypothesis discussed is that the decoding of the architectural composition of sacred elements in the landscape remains useful both in the pedagogy and practice of architecture. Finally, it is evidenced that this exercise allows us to transfer formal relations established between sacred buildings and the landscape for contemporary architectural practice, revealing type and topos.
