No full text(Title: The Code Mix Analysis In Lyrics Of Shinee’s Gentleman By Junji Ishiwatari)
This study aims to analyze the code mix in the lyrics of SHINee’s Gentleman by Junji Ishiwatari which specifically to describe what kind of code mix is contained in the lyrics and to describe how the factors caused the interference of code in the lyrics. The method used in this research is observation and library research. There are 16 forms of code mix contained in the lyrics, namely: 5 insertion of elements of tangible word, 9 insertion of elements of the phrase and 2 insertion elements of tangible clause. The dominant form of code mix is the insertion of phrasal elements. While there are 3 factors that caused the interference of the code in the lyrics, namely: (1) The casuality (informal situation), (2) The author wants to show the learning and/or position and (3) There is no correctly expression in language that had been used. The dominant factor of them is no correctly expression in language that had been used. The customary factor is not found in the lyrics of SHINee’Gentleman by Junji Ishiwatari although songwriters often use English in writing song lyrics

However, few studies have examined the differences in the frequency of vital sign measurement between patients with and without emergency tracheal intubation in the general ward. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the differences in the frequency of vital sign measurements between patients with and without emergency tracheal intubation.Patients and methods: This is a single-center, retrospective, observational study of unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) admissions from the general wards between December 2015 and February 2017. This study included patients with emergency medical intubations in the general ward who were then transferred to the ICU. Vital signs measured within 24 hours prior to ICU admission were compared between patients who did and did not require emergency tracheal intubation in the general ward. A survey was also conducted to explore the nurses’ attitudes toward vital sign measurements.Results: Compared with other vital signs, the respiratory rate was significantly less frequently measured. Moreover, the frequency of respiratory rate measurement was lower in the 38 patients who were intubated than in the 102 patients who were not intubated in the general ward (P=0.07). The survey revealed that 54% of the participating nurses considered assessment of the respiratory rate as the most troublesome nursing task and ~15% of nurses did not routinely measure respiratory rates.Conclusion: Respiratory rate was less frequently assessed in deteriorating patients in the general ward, possibly because it was considered a troublesome task. Keywords: emergency intubation, vital sign measurements, general ward, nurse’s attitudes toward vital signs, respiratory rat

No full textINTRODUCTION
New Perspectives on Horror Manga
The primary objective of this study is to analyze Japanese horror comics, known as manga, through the works of Junji Ito, particularly Tomie. This author has become a central figure in the genre, and his work is essential for understanding how horror in manga achieves an impact that goes beyond its graphic elements, utilizing a distinctive visual and narrative style that creates a unique atmosphere and evokes profound emotions in its readers.
The analysis begins with a comparison between sequential horror media, such as happenings, and editorial media like comics, where the resources available are different: while the former include sound, characters in motion, and dynamic storytelling, comics must rely on visual strategies to achieve equally powerful horror effects. This research aims to explore the artistic evolution of Junji Ito and how, through the use and modification of lines and styles, he constructs atmospheres that immerse the reader in his narratives.
Throughout this study, the artistic styles that characterize horror manga will be examined, detailing the visual techniques that intensify the atmosphere, generate tension, and build unsettling narratives. The research seeks to answer a fundamental question: how is it possible to achieve, within editorial media—specifically horror comics—the same atmospheric effect that is present in sequential media?
This analysis of Junji Ito delves into the visual and narrative elements that define his style and have earned him a prominent place in horror manga. The study also considers the direct and indirect consequences of modifications in illustration on atmosphere and story development, highlighting the use of line work, onomatopoeia, and other essential resources for creating visual impact.
This work not only describes the influence of Junji Ito but also aims to serve as a guide for design and art students interested in illustration, providing tools to understand and construct effective atmospheres that instill in audiences a constant desire to explore further. In this sense, understanding Junji Ito’s style and techniques is fundamental for learning how to depict horror and tension within the realm of printed and editorial media.

INTRODUCCIÓN Nuevas perspectivas del manga de horror
Este trabajo tiene como propósito principal analizar el cómic de horror japonés, conocido como “manga”, a través de la obra de Junji Ito, particularmente Tomie. Este autor se ha convertido en una figura central en el género, y su trabajo es esencial para comprender cómo el horror en el manga logra un impacto que va más allá de sus elementos gráficos, usando un estilo visual y narrativo distintivo que crea una atmósfera única y despierta profundas emociones en sus lectores.
El análisis parte de la comparación entre los medios secuenciales de horror, como los happenings, y los medios editoriales como el cómic, donde los recursos son distintos: mientras los primeros cuentan con sonido, personajes en acción e historias en movimiento, los cómics requieren de estrategias visuales para alcanzar efectos de horror igualmente potentes. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo explorar los cambios en el arte de Junji Ito, y cómo, mediante el uso y la modificación de trazos y estilos, construye atmósferas que sumergen al lector en sus relatos.
A lo largo del trabajo, se examinan los estilos artísticos que caracterizan el manga de horror, detallando las técnicas visuales que intensifican la atmósfera, generan tensión y construyen narrativas perturbadoras. El estudio busca responder a una pregunta fundamental: ¿cómo es posible lograr en medios editoriales, específicamente en el cómic de horror, el mismo efecto atmosférico que se alcanza en los medios secuenciales?
En este análisis de Junji Ito se profundiza en los elementos visuales y narrativos que definen su estilo y le han dado un lugar destacado en el manga de horror. El estudio también considera las consecuencias directas e indirectas de las modificaciones en la ilustración sobre la atmósfera y el desarrollo de la historia, destacando el uso de líneas, onomatopeyas y otros recursos esenciales para crear impacto visual.
Este trabajo no solo describe la influencia de Junji Ito, sino que también busca servir como guía para aquellos estudiantes de diseño y arte interesados en la ilustración, proporcionando herramientas para entender y construir atmósferas efectivas que generen en el público un deseo constante de explorar más. En este sentido, comprender el estilo y las técnicas de Junji Ito es fundamental para aprender a plasmar el horror y la tensión en el ámbito de los medios impresos y editoriales.

The Sedative Effect of Propranolol on Critically Ill Patients: A Case Series
No full textIntroductionRecent studies have examined the effectiveness of alpha-2 adrenergic agonists for controlling delirium and agitation. Propranolol, a non-selective beta-adrenergic antagonist with good penetration of the blood–brain barrier, has not been investigated for this purpose.Materials and methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all patients who were prescribed propranolol in our Medical Surgical ICU from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2013. We recorded the sedation level and daily dose of sedatives, analgesics, and antipsychotics administered each day for 6 days after starting propranolol, and compared them to the day before starting propranolol.ResultsSixty-four patients met inclusion criteria. Thirty-eight episodes met exclusion criteria, leaving 27 patients (31 episodes). The administration of propranolol was associated with significant reductions in fentanyl equivalents (65%, p = 0.009), midazolam equivalents (57%, p = 0.048), propofol (16%, p = 0.009), and haloperidol (44%, p = 0.024) on day 2 after starting propranolol compared with baseline. A stratified analysis showed that these decreases were seen regardless of clinical improvement or deterioration.ConclusionThe use of propranolol was associated with a significant reduction in doses of sedatives and analgesia. Further studies are needed to determine whether propranolol may be a useful adjuvant for managing delirium and agitation in the ICU
Mortality and detailed characteristics of pre-ICU qSOFA-negative patients with suspected sepsis: an observational study
No full textAbstract Background Recent studies have suggested that quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) scores have limited utility in early prognostication in high-mortality populations. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between pre-ICU qSOFA scores and in-hospital mortality among patients admitted to the ICU with suspected sepsis. This study also aimed to describe detailed clinical characteristics of qSOFA-negative (< 2) patients. Methods This single center, observational study, conducted in a Japanese tertiary care teaching hospital between May 2012 and June 2016, enrolled all consecutive adult patients admitted to the ICU with suspected sepsis. We assessed pre-ICU qSOFA scores with the most abnormal vital signs during the 24-h period before ICU admission. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality censored at 90 days. We analyzed the association between pre-ICU qSOFA scores and in-hospital mortality. Results Among 185 ICU patients with suspected sepsis, 14.1% (26/185) of patients remained qSOFA-negative at the time of ICU admission and 29.2% (54/185) of patients died while in hospital. In-hospital mortality was similar between the groups (qSOFA-positive [≥ 2]: 30.2% [48/159] vs qSOFA-negative: 23.1% [6/26], p = 0.642). The Cox proportional hazard regression model revealed that being qSOFA-positive was not significantly associated with in-hospital mortality (adjusted hazard ratio 1.35, 95% confidence interval 0.56–3.22, p = 0.506). Bloodstream infection, immunosuppression, and hematologic malignancy were observed more frequently in qSOFA-negative patients. Conclusions Among ICU patients with suspected sepsis, we could not find a strong association between pre-ICU qSOFA scores and in-hospital mortality. Our study suggested high mortality and bacterial diversity in pre-ICU qSOFA-negative patients
Chemistry of High Polymers with Net Work Structure
No full textFolry's theory on the molecular weight distribution of three dimensional polymers is reviewed and its relationship with vulcanization of rubber is discussed. The elasticity of rubber is recently described by many workers. After Flory's theory, the elasticity is proportional to α-1/α2 where α is elongation ratio, and number of cress-linkages ν, while Kubo states that the elasticity is proportional to ν4/3, but Flory's opinion is more reasonable. The tensile strength of vulcanized rubber decreases linearly with reciprocal molecular weight of original rubbr, because of the network defect due to terminal chain. The vulcanzation lowers the concentration of terminal chain, but on the other hand has negative effect on account of its hindrance of crystallization on stretching. The theoretical equation for the tensile strength is propcsed, by which the maximum tensile strength is explained. The author discussed the reinforcing effect of filler, i.e. filler fixes rubber on its surface and acts as cross-linkage on stretching. The theoretical equation is introduced by author. Finally, the elastic property of plasticized polyvinyl-chloride is discussed. It is explained as visco-elasticity. Logarithm of elasticity decreases with prasticizer
Figurações de monstruosidade em Tomie, de Junji Ito
No full textJunji Ito é um importante desenhista e autor de mangás de horror, com cada vez mais obras suas sendo publicadas no Brasil e recebendo adaptações pelo mundo. Considerando essa relevância do autor, este trabalho buscou, de maneira qualitativa e analítica, com base na interpretação e análise bibliográfica, explorar as corporificações de Tomie nos três primeiros contos do volume 1 do mangá e, aliando elementos de outros contos da coleção, pensar sobre a personagem como objeto que tanto aterroriza quanto causa desejo em quem se envolve com alguma de suas formas. Discorreu-se sobre os três conceitos básicos que podemos atribuir às histórias de Tomie – horror, monstro e body horror –, definindo o gênero do horror a partir das ideias de Noël Carroll (1999), apoiando-se nos verbetes de Zanini (2019), no Dicionário Insólito Ficcional, para horror e monstro, e refletiu-se sobre os estudos de Xavier Aldana Reyes (2016) e Peter Hutchings (2008) a respeito do body horror e da construção de um corpo monstruoso. Buscou-se entender que tipo de manifestações monstruosas há em Tomie e de que maneira se articulam logo após seu assassinato, nos contos que dão início à série de reaparições seguintes. Compreendeu-se que a personagem figura um espírito vingativo, expressão vinda do folclore japonês; configura um monstro metamórfico; e que seu corpo materializa tanto o desejo quanto o desprezo pelo corpo feminino sentido pelas figuras masculinas.Junji Ito is a vital artist and author of horror manga, with more and more of his works being published in Brazil and receiving adaptations worldwide. Considering his relevance, this work sought to explore qualitatively and analytically, based on interpretation and bibliographic analysis, the first three stories of volume 1 of the manga, analyzing the embodiments of Tomie, and by combining elements from other stories in the collection we sought to think about the character as an object that both terrifies and causes desire in those who get involved with any of her forms. We discussed the three basic concepts that we could attribute to Tomie's stories – horror, monster, and body horror –, defining the genre of horror by the ideas of Noël Carroll (1999), relying on the entries for "horror" and "monster" by Zanini (2019), in the Dictionary of Unusual Fiction, and we reflected on the studies of Xavier Aldana Reyes (2016) and Peter Hutchings (2008) regarding body horror and the construction of a monstrous body. We seek to understand what kind of monstrous manifestations are in Tomie and how they are articulated soon after her murder, in the short stories that begin the subsequent reappearances. We understand that the character is a vengeful spirit, an expression from Japanese folklore; that she is a metamorphic monster; and that her body materializes both the desire and the contempt for the female body felt by the male figures
