In the last two decades, Audiovisual Translation (AVT) studies have become of interest for Second Language Acquisition (SLA) researchers, particularly regarding use subtitles in language learning activities. This paper will present an experiment aimed at investigating role subtitled 'input enhancement' SLA. The study involved a group Italian native students English as Foreign (EFL) from Milan U...

Abstract Perovskite solar cells (PSC) offer a promising solution for building integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) due to its high photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE). However, increasing the transparency of their functional layers dramatically decreases PCE. Here, computer controlled laser patterning method was proposed directly turn PSC modules into semitransparent and with aesthetic artifi...

Chronic hepatitis C is the leading cause of advanced liver disease in the Western world. Most patients with liver cirrhosis develop portal hypertension (PHT) (i.e. an abnormal gradient between portal and inferior vena cava pressures), responsible for the most frequent and severe complications of liver disease and, as a consequence, the main cause of death and liver transplantation in those pati...

Over the last decade, researchers have increasingly demonstrated that ideal affect-the affective states that people value and ideally want to feel-shapes different aspects of daily life. Here I briefly review Affect Valuation Theory (AVT), which integrates ideal affect into existing models of affect and emotion by identifying the causes and consequences of variation in ideal affect. I then desc...

Height gain after scoliosis correction is of a special interest for the patient and family. Ylikoski was the first to suggest a formula predicting height loss in untreated scoliotic patients. Stokes has recently suggested a new formula by using Cobb angle to determine height loss in idiopathic curves. We hypothesized that new additional variables to Cobb angle such as apical vertebral translati...

Affect valuation theory (AVT) predicts cultural variation in the affective states that people ideally want to feel (i.e., "ideal affect"). National and ethnic comparisons support this prediction: For instance, European Americans (EA) value high arousal positive (HAP) states (e.g., excitement) more and low arousal positive (LAP) states (e.g., calm) less than Hong Kong Chinese. In this article, t...

The aim of the study was to analyze mortality patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and co-infected human immunodeficiency (HIV) extrahepatic manifestations associated cryoglobulinemia, assess dependence risk fatal outcome on such predictors as presence HIV infection, cirrhotic liver transformation, antiviral therapy (AVT) chronic C, cryoglobulin levels. Materials Methods. prospective ...

Abstract This study systematically reviewed 61 experimental studies on audiovisual translation (AVT), published in academic journals between 1992 and 2020. The review examined five aspects of these studies: publication trends, research scopes, designs, statistical procedures, reporting practices. Major findings include: (a) there has been a slight concentration outlets for AVT research; (b) the...

The consumption of audiovisual content, from the more traditional animations, documentaries, movies, and TV shows to recent online user-generated content found on social media platforms, including video games, has grown exponentially over last few decades. omnipresence screens in society led transformations audiences’ watching habits, now impatient enjoy their programmes as soon possible inclin...

In power plant industries, boiler feed water (BFW) quality becomes the main parameter for steam generation, which is used electricity production. To generate standard BFW plants, each impurity within resources should be removed to prevent corrosion and scale deposition by several processes such as sedimentation, coagulation, polishing, deaeration. Operation conditions that involved high tempera...
