Trichoscopic Evaluation of Focal Non-Cicatricial Alopecia in Egyptian Children

Introduction: Dermoscopy is a noninvasive diagnostic tool that allows the recognition of morphologic structures not visible to the naked eye. Trichoscopy is useful for the diagnosis and follow-up of hair and scalp disorders. Objective: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the causes of focal non-cicatricial alopecia in Egyptian children and to assess the importance of the trichoscope in the diagnosis of each disease. Methods: This study was done with 200 Egyptian children patients aged from 2 to 18 years who suffered from focal non-cicatricial alopecia. Clinical and dermoscopic evaluations were performed for all patients, and informed consent was obtained from their parents. Results: The most prevalent diagnoses were alopecia areata (42%) and tinea capitis (40.5%), followed by trichotillomania (8%) and tractional alopecia (7%). Congenital triangular alopecia (1.5%) and patchy androgenetic alopecia (1%) were less common. Trichoscopy revealed distinct features in alopecia areata cases, such as short vellus hair, exclamation mark hair, black dots, broken hair, pigtail hair and upright regrowing hair. The most common trichoscopic features of tinea capitis were comma hair, corkscrew hair, broken hair, bent hair, zigzag hair, morse code hair, perifollicular scaling, and diffuse scaling. These findings contribute to understanding the etiology and clinical presentation of childhood alopecia, facilitating accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Conclusion: The routine use of dermoscopy in the clinical evaluation of scalp and hair disorders enhances diagnostic capabilities beyond simple clinical inspection. Dermoscopy reveals disease features that contribute to accurate diagnosis and improved management.

Automatic detection of fake reviews at marketplaces using expert-based features and consumers’ reactions

The article presents the results of a practical study of the features of fake reviews that are described by marketers and other experts. Due to the abundance of fake reviews on marketplaces, consumer trust falls not only in the seller or platform, but in the genre itself. The paper presents the results of automatic classification of reviews from Russian marketplaces into potentially fake and honest ones using modelling of features that experts call labels of a fake review (presence of template words, exclamation marks, emoji, positive sentiment), and machine learning algorithms. To solve the problem, a corpus of 6 288 texts from the Russian marketplaces Wildberries and Megamarket has been collected. The target variable (predicted class) is the ratio of likes and dislikes given to the review by other buyers. The best result is demonstrated by the support vector machine algorithm in binary classification into reviews with a low and high ratings (without neutral ones). The classification model confirms that the formal features identified by experts as indicating fake reviews indeed have predictive potential. The quality of the model is reduced by the imbalance in classes and insufficient number of reviews with buyer reactions in our corpus, which leaves room for further work.

A unique approach for investigating skin lesions and their relationship with TCM syndrome differentiation in alopecia areata

Background: Alopecia areata is also known as ‘oil wind’ in Chinese medicine. Alopecia areata is a debilitating autoimmune skindisease characterized by patches of non-scarring hair loss and inflammation that damages the scalp and body hair in a variable,often relapsing or permanent fashion. It is not quite obvious how the various Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes differentiate between the skin lesions under dermatoscopy caused by alopecia areata. Objective: This study aimed to provide a rational basis for TCM syndrome differentiation of alopecia areata and investigate the role of skin lesions in various TCM syndromes of alopecia areata under dermatoscopy. Methods: The dermatologist used a dermatoscope to take four images of the patient's skin lesion area and the skin lesion junction. Two of the images were captured with polarized light, while the other two were taken with non-polarized light. Patients with alopecia areata who had TCM syndrome differentiation were identified and examined using dermatoscopy. The occurrence of the yellow dot, white dot, exclamation mark hair and vascular sign, was determined and then statistically analyzed. Results: The positive rates of vascular signs relate to alopecia areata, exclamation mark hair relates to Qi-blood deficiency and white dot corresponded to liver and kidney deficiency. All the positive rates were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Compared to vascular sign, white dot sign, and Qi-blood deficiency syndrome groups, the positive rate of yellow dot syndrome was not significant (P>0.05) Conclusion: The findings suggest that particular skin lesions contribute to differentiating different TCM syndromes associated with alopecia areata. Skin lesions examined under dermatoscopy can assist in diagnosing the TCM syndromes associated with alopecia areata. Keywords: Dermatoscopic signs; Alopecia areata; TCM syndromes; Qi and blood deficiency; Liver and kidney deficiency.

From Hair-Pulling to Trichobezoars and Rapunzel Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review of Trichotillomania

Introduction: Trichotillomania (TTM) is an obsessive-compulsive disorder characterized by the uncontrollable pulling of hair from various parts of the body, most commonly from the scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes. Clinical manifestations of TTM include patchy alopecia, uneven hair shaft growth, and characteristic changes visible in trichoscopy, such as the presence of black dots, twisted hairs, split ends, and hairs shaped like exclamation marks. The etiology of TTM is complex and involves genetic, neurological, and psychological factors. In some patients, TTM co-occurs with trichophagia, leading to the formation of trichobezoars in the gastrointestinal tract. In extreme cases, such as Rapunzel Syndrome, bezoars can lead to intestinal obstruction. Treatment for TTM is multifaceted and includes both psychotherapeutic and pharmacological interventions. Objective: The objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive review of trichotillomania (TTM), with a particular focus on its clinical symptoms, etiology, diagnostics, and treatment methods. The aim is to understand this obsessive-compulsive disorder, its impact on patients' lives, and its connections to serious complications such as trichobezoars and Rapunzel Syndrome. Materials and Methods: The study utilized analyses of scientific research, review articles, and reports concerning trichotillomania (TTM), trichobezoars, trichophagia, and Rapunzel Syndrome. It is primarily based on data from PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and studies published between 2000 and 2024, focusing on the diagnostics, etiology, and treatment of TTM and related disorders. Conclusions: The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive review of the current knowledge on trichotillomania, including its clinical symptoms, etiology, diagnostics, and treatment methods, while considering serious complications such as trichobezoars and Rapunzel Syndrome.

Реализация пунктуационных тенденций естественной письменной речи в эпистолярных текстах низкого уровня грамотности (на примере употребления разделительных знаков препинания)

The research aims to identify the specific characteristics of the implementation of punctuation trends in natural written language as exemplified by the use of separating punctuation marks in a corpus of Russian epistolary texts written by semiliterate authors. The research is novel in that it is the first one to compare punctuation trends found in different genres of natural written language. Moreover, for the first time, the functions of separating punctuation marks in the middle and end of sentences in letters written by semiliterate authors were considered in relation to the main punctuation trends of natural written language. The research findings showed that most of the main punctuation trends of natural written language (economy, interchangeability, and universalization of punctuation marks, actualization of communicatively significant parts of the sentence (parcellation), individual free combination of marks) are realized when using separating punctuation marks in the middle of a sentence (comma, semicolon, colon, dash) and at the end of a sentence (period, exclamation mark) in letters written by semiliterate people; at the same time, the realization of natural written language trends does not depend on the productivity of the marks in the corpus. The most productive and active in realizing the communicative trends of natural written language are basic marks, a period and a comma, however, natural written language trends are also realized through other, less productive separating punctuation marks. As a result of the research, it was also found that the tendency toward unification of the functions of marks, characteristic of natural written language, is not realized in the corpus through separating punctuation marks due to their multifunctionality.

Stylistic analysis of election campaign visuals in the secure and intensely competitive constituencies of the 2021 Sarawak State Election

This study analysed election campaign visuals in the secure and intensely competitive constituencies of Kuching and Kota Samarahan during the 2021 Sarawak State Election. Using Crystal and Davy’s (1969) framework of stylistic analysis and Benoit’s (2017) functional theory of political campaign communication, 20 posters and 12 banners were analysed to examine their graphetic, typographical and textual features. Findings show that graphetically, the campaign visuals in secure constituencies often used images to acclaim past achievements while those in intensely competitive constituencies reflected the electorate’s dissatisfaction to attack. Typographically, the campaign visuals in the secure constituencies only used capitalisation whereas those in intensely competitive constituencies used capital letters, questions marks, and exclamation marks. Analysis of textual choices reveals the presence of explicit messages in phrasal form in the election posters and banners in both the secure and intensely competitive constituencies.

LANGUGE-SPECIFIC WAYS OF EXPRESSING A REQUEST IN RUSSIAN AND PERSIAN BUSINESS CORRESPONDENCE

The article is devoted to the linguistic specifi cs of ways of expressing requests in Russian and Persian business correspondence. The purpose of the article is to analyze the structure of request letters in Russian and Persian languages. Objectives of the study: to consider etiquette speech formulas in letters of request in Russian and Persian; compare the expressions used when writing such letters; identify diff erences, similarities, as well as universal ways of expressing requests in business correspondence in Russian and Persian. The main object of this scientifi c work is Russian and Persian business letters of request. This article contributes to the study of cross-cul-tural business correspondence by expanding the understanding of linguistic nuances in the expression of requests in Russian and Persian. Although the topic has been addressed in previous works, the present study deepens the analysis by comparing etiquette formulas and verb structures used in business request letters. As a result of the study, the authors came to the conclusion that the use of addresses and the use of verb forms in Russian and Per-sian business letters of request are signifi cantly diff erent. An important discovery was that in the Persian language, addresses have strict forms and arrangements that are diff erent from Russian, which refl ects deep cultural and lin-guistic traditions. The absence of patronymics and exclamation marks in Persian addresses, as well as the unique use of verb forms, emphasize the specifi cs of intercultural communication and the need to take these features into account when teaching Russian language. The practical value of the work is determined by the possibility of using its materials when teaching special courses on intercultural communication and contrastive linguistics, as well as when compiling textbooks on Russian as a foreign language.

Aquatic Angiosperms of India

Some of the salient features pertaining to the taxonomy of a few interesting aquatic angiosperms and their distribution, variability of fruits and seeds, their economic importance, floral biology, anatomy, embryology and cytology are presented here. The varied and diverse pattern of distribution of some Indian aquatic taxa is described with examples. Certain unique embryological features noticed in some aquatic plants are pointed out. Though the data on the cytplogy of Indian aquatic angiosperms is raher meagre, it is evident that from the evolutionary point of view, polyploidy has played an important role in the differentiation of races, varieties and species. The nomenclature of Nymphoides Hill and Necharmndra Planch., is discussed. Finally, the ample scope present for further work for a better understanding of these plants is emphasised.

Trichoscopic findings in children and adults with alopecia areata: A comparative study.

Alopecia areata is a chronic and relapsing condition that affects individuals of all age groups. Dermoscopy is a popular and non-invasive method for diagnosing alopecia areata. This study aimed to analyze dermoscopic findings and their relationship with age, gender, appearance, and clinical signs in children and adults. This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 124 children and adults diagnosed with alopecia areata who were referred to a Hospital in Iran between 2021 and 2022. After reaching the calculated sample size, trichoscopic findings were examined and the results were recorded. Data analysis was performed by a statistician and presented in relevant tables. The participants in the study comprised 53.2% female children, 46.8% male children, 27.42% adult males, and 72.58% adult females. The median age in the pediatric group was 10 years, while it was 27 years in the adult group. Yellow dots were significantly less observed in children than in adults (29% vs. 48.4%), while exclamation mark hairs were significantly more common in children than adults (38.7% vs. 21%). No significant differences were found in the frequency of other trichoscopic features between children and adults. Specifically, black dots, broken hairs, short vellus hairs, pigtail hairs, and empty follicular openings were observed in 38.7%, 40.3%, 32.3%, 11.3%, and 75.8% of children, respectively, and in 35.5%, 32.3%, 21%, 46.8%, and 12.9% of adults, respectively. The most common trichoscopic findings in alopecia areata in children are empty follicular openings and broken hairs, while exclamation mark hairs are more common in children than adults. In contrast, yellow dots are less frequently observed in children compared to adults. This distinct difference between children's and adults' dermoscopic findings highlights the critical need for age-specific considerations in AA evaluations.

Curiosity in news consumption

AbstractWe analyze how curiosity drives news consumption. We test predictions of the information‐gap theory of curiosity using over 100,000 WeChat news articles, applying NLP methods to construct measures of salience, importance, and surprisingness associated with news headlines, experimentally validating these measures, and using them to predict clicks. Our findings confirm that people tend to consume news when: the headline sparks a salient question; the content appears more important (e.g., emphasized by the headline's position on the webpage or an exclamation mark); the headline refers to more surprising topics (measured as the KL‐divergence from a baseline topic distribution); and the headline has lower valence. Information‐gap theory helps predict aggregate news consumption. Yet our data also reveal a small negative correlation between the number of clicks and the ratio of likes to clicks, suggesting that while inducing curiosity can drive short‐term news consumption, it doesn't necessarily enhance long‐term reader engagement.

Playful punctuation in primary children’s narrative writing

ABSTRACT Framed within the fields of applied linguistics and language play, the writing of three attainment groups of 9–11-year-old children was used to investigate their use of ludic (playful) punctuation in the composition of an imaginative narrative. The scripts were from a larger repeat-design study of writing development that addressed a range of linguistic features. It became apparent that the scripts contained a range of language play features, including the use of ludic punctuation, and these were then systematically studied. A total of 71 stories were analysed to identify and categorise the playful punctuation that the children used in this writing task. A range of ludic punctuation was found, most notably in the use of quotation marks, exclamation marks and question marks. In contrast, the asterisk, interrobang, underlining, brackets and dash were used infrequently. There were clear differences between the attainment groups in the content and range of these uses. The findings indicate that 10–11 year-old children find that narrative writing offers a range of opportunities for creative and playful uses of punctuation, even though they were not prompted to do this. The findings also suggest that such uses – like language play as a whole – warrant further investigation.

The eyes as the exclamation mark of the face: exploring the relationship between eye size, intensity of female facial expressions and attractiveness in a range of emotions.

The eyes play an important role in communicating emotions and shape the determination of other facial attributes. Here, we explored the relationship between eye size, perceived intensity and attractiveness of facial expressions. A sample of N = 63 participants (men and women, aged 18-35) rated attractiveness and emotional intensity for images displaying emotionally expressive women's faces with digitally manipulated eye size (15% smaller, unchanged, or 15% larger). The analysis of perceived intensity showed an interaction parameter between eye size and gender. Female individuals reported differences when comparing unchanged and larger eyes; male participants showed differences across all eye size comparisons (smaller-unchanged, smaller-larger, unchanged-larger). Regarding perceived attractiveness, faces with smaller eyes registered lower mean scores than both unchanged and larger. The lowest intensity level was associated with neutral faces and the highest with fearful ones. Faces displaying happiness were perceived as the most attractive. Larger eyes seem to make emotions more intense and attractive. We suggest that the more intense phenomenon serves an evolutive purpose, as it might encourage caretaking behavior.

Texting!!!

Abstract Previous research shows that females use more exclamation marks than males, often to establish rapport. The purpose of the present studies was to test whether people associate texters’ use of exclamation marks with friendliness and femaleness. If this association is due to normative expectations, we hypothesized that females would appear less friendly if they did not use an exclamation mark in texting. In Study 1, participants rated a texter using an exclamation mark to be highly female and highly friendly. The gender results disappeared when friendliness was controlled for. In Study 2, we tested whether friendliness ratings decreased if texters violated gender-associated punctuation. Participants rated a texter with a gendered name on friendliness. Regardless of gender, participants inferred greater friendliness to texters using an exclamation mark. That is, there was no evidence of a cost for violating this gender expectation. We conclude that people predict that a texter using an exclamation mark is likely to be female, but do not penalize females for not using an exclamation mark.

Punctuation as a tool of the communicative and semantic organization of the text: norm and usus (on the material of the Spanish language)

The article is devoted to the study of Spanish punctuation from the point of view of its role in the communicative and semantic organization of the text. The setting of certain punctuation marks or their absence always raises questions among students of the Spanish language, and therefore requires in-depth scientific research and clarification. The article studies the punctuation rules established by the Royal Spanish Academy, and deviations from them, which may be associated with the prosodic tradition of the language, the presence of secondary members, genre originality, the influence of the English language, the individual characteristics of the author’s style, the communicative task of the utterance, etc. The source material was contemporary Spanish-language fiction, periodical texts, scientific articles, blog fragments, and comments on social networks. Thus, the work reflects the compositional and semantic features of all genres. In Spanish sentences, the role of the prosodic tradition is strong, so often the punctuation marks are dictated by the presence of the pause in oral speech or the intonation of the utterance. At the same time, punctuation marks show semantic-syntactic links between text units that contribute to the understanding of the text. In the article, the authors consider in detail the features of the use of periods, commas, semicolons, colons, round and square brackets, dashes, quotation marks, question and exclamation marks, and ellipsis. The most difficult is the setting of a comma, which, in addition to its main functions of enumeration, treatment, application, isolation of introductory information, is used in elliptical constructions, in the presence of syntactic inversion, to separate definitive clauses, in order to avoid ambiguity. The clarifying function in Spanish is performed by commas, brackets and dashes. The choice of this or that sign is dictated by the degree of proximity of the explanatory information to the main sentence and the nature of the perception of this utterance by the reader. A distinctive feature of Spanish punctuation is the designation of interrogative and exclamatory intonation in writing using the double use of question and exclamation marks: at the beginning of a sentence, inverted, and at the end of a sentence, in the usual form. Despite the prescriptive nature of punctuation rules, modern Spanish texts contain many examples of unregulated use of punctuation marks, and in some cases ignoring them leads to misunderstanding of the text. The article may be of interest to philologists, teachers of Spanish as a foreign language and all those who study Spanish.

Romanian local journalism. An increase in sarcasm, allusive speaking and abusive quotes

The Romanian written press is torn between the quality of the materials and the struggle for financial survival of Romanian journalists. The situation of the local press in my hometown Arad is representative for the state of the Romanian written and online press as a whole. The traditional model of production, diffusion and reception of printed journalism is currently undergoing a complex reconfiguration. The print media is losing ground to the online press. The online press is also becoming more attractive because of its gratuity. Paying readers of the internet connection can access numerous sites without bothering to buy a press product from the newsstand. Easier access to the online press product, as well as the possibility to intervene anonymously, commenting on various articles posted by journalists, all this led to a decrease in interest in the written press.
 I will present an up-to-date situation of the local publications, written and online press from Arad, Romania, analyzing some trends that have occurred over time regarding quality of the local journalism. As a method, my study analyzes local Romanian publications in Arad, between 2019 and 2023, following the recurrent trends that appear in writing. I also used my 26 years experience in local mass-media as a guide to better understand the phenomenon. 
 We see an increase in sarcasm, allusive speaking, abusive quotes in traditional journalism. Subjectivity is manifested in the written press both at the level of words and their adjective determinations, as well as graphically, by the preference for exclamation marks, inverted comas and numerous suspension points. We can noticed an extension of the the colloquial tone in local newspaper due to journalist`s desire to be familiar with the reader. Slum expressions win in the press’s discourse, as the rudeness of the language attracts the audience.

LINGUAL AND STYLISTICAL SPECIFICS OF THE ENGLISH MOBILE NOVEL

The article examines the linguistic and stylistic features of a new genre of literature — the mobile novel. It is noted that the development of communica- tion technologies in the period of the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries became the impetus for the emergence of hybrid forms that arose during the transition of classical genres to a new for them interactive environ- ment and the development of new means of artistic expression based on modern telecommunication technologies, which include mobile novel. It was determined that the purely linguistic features of the texts of this genre include the use of abbre- viations; colloquial, simplified and lapidary style; frequent omission of dramatic dialogues, which allows the reader to independently guess and interpret what they have read; the sharp unfolding of plots often keeps the reader in suspense and stimulates anticipation of the next part. The graphic stylistic devices of the mo- bile novel include the use of capitalization, phonetic repetitions (alliteration or assonance), the use of emoji, unconventional punctuation (the use of hyphens, infinity signs, exclamation marks in the middle of the sentence, etc.). During the experimental study, the linguistic stylistic features of the mobile novel “Second- Hand Memories” by the English-speaking author of Japanese origin Takatsu were analyzed. In the process of research, the compositional structure, plot line, roles of the main characters, as well as linguistic stylistic phenomena of the three levels of language — phonographical, lexical and grammatical, and syntactic — were analyzed.

Emphasizing Writing Acts: The Exclamation Point in German as a Lexical Operator for Verum

Abstract This paper is concerned with the interpretation of the exclamation point in German; for example, Es hat geschneit! ‘It has been snowing!’. I argue that the exclamation point contributes a lexical operator for verum at the layer of writing acts. Specifically, it introduces the writer’s wish to ensure the recognition of the writing act in its scope. This lexicon-based proposal builds on a lexicon-based analysis of verum focus. However, while verum focus is related to the propositional layer, the exclamation point is argued to relate to the act layer. The following advantages are defended: (i) The proposal accounts for both the functional kinship between exclamation points and verum focus and their distributional differences. On the one hand, both means introduce affirmative emphasis by a bouletic attitude; on the other hand, the exclamation point has a much wider distribution than verum focus, as it is not bound to contexts that provide a controversy between a proposition and its negation. (ii) The difference in semantic scope can be traced back to a structural difference. While verum focus is integrated into its host clause, exclamation points occupy a peripheral structural position, which is typical of act modifiers. (iii) The lexicon-based approach to the interpretation of exclamation points has noteworthy broader implications. It provides an independent cross-modal piece of evidence in favor of a lexicon-based analysis of verum focus instead of a focus-based one. Furthermore, it is amenable to a formal compositional implementation. This implementation comprises first steps toward a formal model of writing acts in terms of Commitment Space Semantics and advances the general hypothesis that the graphematic form licenses a systematic mapping from form to meaning in its own right.

‘We are open again (and again)’: communicating during COVID-19 – opportunities, challenges, and lessons learned

ABSTRACT During any crisis, how a company communicates will determine how much reputational capital is spent and how quickly the company can recover. Extending the Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT) to hotel websites and social media, this paper investigates Swiss hotels’ messages during this crisis to repair their image, bolster their reputation, and attract customers back to Swiss destinations. From June 2020 to August 2021, messages from Swiss independent 4- and 5-star hotels were mined, and semantic network analysis, sentiment analysis, and an analysis of SCCT strategies were employed to investigate hoteliers’ messages during the pandemic. Hoteliers adopted different strategies between hotel website (dominated by corrective action) and social media (renewal). Hoteliers tried to create positive emotions as detected through sentiment analysis and the wide use of exclamation points. Guest was the most popular theme and concept from the semantic analysis. The emphasis on guests and positive emotion indicates the humanness of the communicated message.

Pengaruh leksika dan gramatika bahasa Rusia terhadap pembentukan karakter penuturnya

This study aimed to analyze the influence of Russian vocabulary and grammar on the formation of the personalities of its speakers. In the Russian context, vocabulary and grammar play an important role in establishing communication patterns and the cultural identity of its speakers. This study used the qualitative descriptive method. The data were classified based on cultural data and vocabulary contained in anecdotes, phraseologies, folklore, the pronominal use of vy ‘you' and ty 'you', the formation of atroponyms using suffixes, the use of exclamation marks, and the use of numbers. The results of this study show that stereotypes, phraseologies, folklore, vy ‘you' and ty 'you' pronouns, anthroponic suffixes, interjections, and the use of numbers can shape the character of speakers. All these elements affect how words, grammar, and sentence structure are used in Russian. In addition, it can affect the characteristics of the speaker, including attitudes, values, and thinking patterns. This research can provide a deeper understanding of how language plays an important role in shaping an individual's personality in a Russian linguistic context, as well as its implications for understanding the culture and identity of Russian-speaking peoples.
