La lluvia, la nieve y el viento en los refranes jordanos: recopilación y traducción al español
No full textWeather proverbs are, unquestionably, a very rich and extensive part of the collection of saying we find in every culture. They are short and easy to remember sentences in which our ancestors put their knowledge and ability to predict the weather and its changes. The author of this paper aims to emphasize the interest of these proverbs in the Jordanian country life by studying, analyzing and translating sayings referred to meteorological phenomena like rain, snow and wind. Another aim is arousing interest in the Arab culture and paremiology. The corpus is preceded by the exhibition of some theoretical foundations related to weather proverbs, and a brief introduction of the climatological context of Jordan.Los refranes meteorológicos forman, indudablemente, un rico y extenso apartado dentro del refranero general de cualquier cultura en el mundo. Constituyen sentencias breves fáciles de recordar y producir a través de las cuales nuestrosabuelos nos transmitieron sus conocimientos y habilidades a la hora de pronosticar el tiempo. El autor de este trabajo pretende señalar la importancia de este grupo de refranes en la vida rural en Jordania mediante el estudio, el análisis y la traducciónal español de los refranes que se refieren a fenómenos atmosféricos como la lluvia, la nieve y el viento. Asimismo, otro objetivo es despertar el interés por la cultura y paremiología árabe. El corpus está precedido por la exposición de algunos fundamentos teóricos relacionados con esta tipología de refranes y una breve introducción al contexto climatológico de Jordania

An Author Gender Detection Method Using Whale Optimization Algorithm and Artificial Neural Network
No full textAuthor gender detection (AGD) is a serious and crucial issue in Internet security applications, in particular in email, messenger, and social network communications. Detecting the gender of communication partner helps preventing massive fraud and abuses happening through social media such as email, blogs, forums. Text and writings of people on the Internet have valuable information that can be used to identify the gender of an author. Machine learning and meta-heuristic algorithms are valuable techniques to extract hidden patterns useful for detecting gender of a text. In this paper, an artificial neural network (ANN) is employed as a classifier to detect the gender of an email author and the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is used to find optimal weights and biases for improving the accuracy of the ANN classification. Through this combination of ANN and WOA an accuracy of 98%, precision of 97.16%, and recall of 99.67% were achieved, which indicates the superiority of the proposed method on Bayesian networks, regression, decision tree, support vector machine, and ANN examined

Analysing Style and Autobiographical Element in Alice Munro’s “Dear Life”
No full textThe paper aims to stylistically analyze the autobiographical elements in Alice Munro’s Story “Dear Life.” It is discovered that from the starting to the end of the story, it is full of the events which are very closely linked to Munro’s own life. Although the events have close resemblance to Munro’s life, these are factiously and artistically depicted so that they serve the purpose of literature and the stylistic aspects of the story. The researchers in the paper analyze and discuss the stylistic characteristics of the author with the help of the textual evidence from the story and to further support these, they cite the literature on the similar aspects. Finally, it is found that Munro’s fantastic style and the blend of the autobiographical facts and fiction make her story ‘Dear Life’ very interesting and worth reading

No full textCardiovascular and haematological events post COVID‐19 vaccination: A systematic review
No full text
Since COVID-19 took a strong hold around the globe causing considerable morbidity and mortality, a lot of effort was dedicated to manufacturing effective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. Many questions have since been raised surrounding the safety of the vaccines, and a lot of media attention to certain side effects. This caused a state of vaccine hesitancy that may prove problematic in the global effort to control the virus. This review was undertaken with the aim of putting together all the reported cardiovascular and haematological events post COVID-19 vaccination in published literature and to suggest possible mechanisms to explain these rare phenomena.

Association of corneal endothelial cell morphology with neurodegeneration in mild cognitive impairment and dementia
No full textINTRODUCTION
Corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) detects neurodegeneration in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia and identifies subjects with MCI who develop dementia. This study assessed whether abnormalities in corneal endothelial cell (CEC) morphology are related to corneal nerve morphology, brain volumetry, cerebral ischemia, and cognitive impairment in MCI and dementia.
METHODS
Participants with no cognitive impairment (NCI), MCI, and dementia underwent CCM to quantify corneal endothelial cell density (CECD) and area (CECA), corneal nerve fiber morphology, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain volumetry, and severity of brain ischemia.
RESULTS
Of the 114 participants, 14 had NCI, 77 had MCI, and 23 had dementia. CECD (1971.3 ± 594.6 vs 2316.1 ± 499.5 cells/mm2, p < 0.05) was significantly lower in the dementia compared to the NCI group. CECD and CECA were comparable between the MCI and NCI groups (p = 0.13–0.65). Corneal nerve fiber density (CNFD) (31.7 ± 5.6 vs 24.5 ± 9.2 and 17.3 ± 5.3 fibers/mm2, p < 0.01), corneal nerve branch density (CNBD) (111.8 ± 58.1 vs 50.4 ± 36.4 and 52.7 ± 21.3 branches/mm2, p < 0.0001), and corneal nerve fiber length (CNFL) (24.6 ± 6.6 vs 16.5 ± 6.8 and 16.2 ± 5.0 mm/mm2, p < 0.0001) were lower in the MCI and dementia groups compared to the NCI group. Lower CECD partially mediated the impact of age and diabetes on CNFL reduction (p < 0.05), whereas CECA lost its significance after adjustment (p = 0.20). CEC morphology does not affect the association between corneal nerve fiber loss and MCI/dementia. CECD and CECA had no significant association with cerebral ischemic lesions (p = 0.21–0.47), dementia (p = 0.11–0.35), or cognitive decline (p = 0.37–0.38). However, lower CECD and higher CECA were associated with decreased cortical gray matter volume (p < 0.05–0.01).
DISCUSSION
CEC loss occurs in patients with dementia, and both endothelial cell loss and hypertrophy are associated with cortical gray matter atrophy. CNF loss occurs in individuals with MCI and dementia. Corneal nerve and endothelial cell abnormalities could act as biomarkers for neurovascular pathology in dementia
