Devo declarar previamente que guardo certas reservas quanto ao conceito de método. Não é difícil pensar em método como uma espécie de habilidade transferível se considerarmos a definação do termo como uma técnica, uma ferramenta numa caixa, da qual se pode lançar mão quando necessário e depois devolvê-la. A ACD, na minha visão, é muito mais uma teoria que um método, ou melhor, uma perspectiva teórica sobre a língua e, de uma maneira mais geral, sobre a semiose (que inclui a línguagem visual, linguagem corporal, e assim por diante) como um elemento ou momento do processo social material (WILLIAMS, 1977), que dá margem a análises linguísticas ou semióticas inseridas em reflexões

Objective This study presents a rare instance of retroperitoneal reproductive vascular capillary hemangioma, offering a review and critical discourse on pertinent scholarly works.Methods We conducted a detailed follow-up on a patient who received a robot-assisted laparoscopic excision for the said hemangioma. Postoperatively, the patient’s clinical data were meticulously monitored, and a thorough analysis of the hemangioma’s clinical profile was performed, integrating pathological assessments and immunohistochemical (IHC) findings to formulate innovative diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives.Results The pathological report of the patient’s left retroperitoneal tumor was a capillary hemangioma with a diameter of 3 cm and a gray-red, solid, soft-cut surface; IHC showed: CD31 (+), CD34 (+), CK-pan (−); The patient was followed up for 2 years without any signs of recurrence or metastasis.Conclusions Initial diagnostic considerations on retroperitoneal tumors should extend to capillary hemangiomas, which are often overlooked and prone to misdiagnosis; The early and judicious examination of retroperitoneal tumors, particularly utilizing abdominal enhanced CT when renal function is adequate, is of paramount importance for tumor localization and preliminary characterization; While hemangiomas are typically benign, the scarcity of retroperitoneal capillary hemangioma cases necessitates broader clinical studies and statistical analysis for a more nuanced understanding of these tumors.

Abelardo Linares (1952) es el fundador de la editorial Renacimiento en 1977, que comenzó siendo tres años antes una librería de viejo establecida en el barrio de Santa Cruz de Sevilla, enriquecida con la compra de un millón de libros de la colección del librero Eliseo Torres de Nueva York. Además de todo ello, su labor poética, objeto de este trabajo, aunque no ha sido su prioridad, está recogida en cuatro volúmenes con voluntad antológica que dan cuenta de lo prolijo de sus versos: Mitos: Poesía reunida en 1979, Sombras en 1986, Espejos de 1991 y Y ningún otro cielo de 2010. El penúltimo de 1991, que hoy se analiza, fue Premio de la Crítica. En el presente trabajo estudiaremos la poesía de Espejos y trataremos de proponer el componente de la nostalgia como fundamental para el traslado del compromiso en la poesía de Abelardo Linares. Trataremos de concluir que es precisamente el componente nostálgico el que ayuda a potenciar el compromiso en la poesía linariana y cómo esta se constituye entonces como una muestra más de divergencia, de entre las muchas que ya se han puesto de manifiesto en las últimas décadas, con respecto a las líneas maestras de la llamada Generación del 70. Con este análisis recuperamos también la obra de un poeta parcialmente apartado del canon de las generaciones para tratar de renovar el interés por su poesía y ayudar a su inclusión paulatina en el discurso sobre la historia de la literatura de finales del siglo pasado.

In each of his works, Abbas Maroufi has considered the social, political, and historical conditions of the society by considering one of the social classes, and through this, he has challenged the situation of the society with a critical point of view combined with humor and elaboration. The "intellectual" class, women "victims and surrender" and "exiles" are among the groups that play the main characters in the three novels "Symphony of the Dead", "Year of the Riot" and "Totally Special". "Man" and "His Concerns" are the main focus of famous novels, and his main way of processing his fictional characters is to "look back" and "childhood" of the characters in order to examine the problems, internal conflicts, and pay attention to their disorders. The novel "Symphony of the Dead" can be considered a new interpretation of the story of Abel and Cain with a surrealist atmosphere that examines the social, political, and historical conditions of Iranian intellectuals at that historical period. The novel "Year of Rebellion" is a narrative of violence and coercion that has been noticed by women throughout history, and Nosha, as a character who represents women in society, is a "victim and surrender" character who does not give up to save herself and surrenders to forced marriage. The novel "Totally Special" is also a story about the life of Abbas Irani, an exiled journalist who is forced to emigrate from Iran to Germany. In this work, the author has included various aspects of his biological experiences. This research tries in a descriptive-analytical way to answer the question that what are the most important components of modernism in Abbas Maroufi's "human-centered" novels? The findings indicate that "tendency to the world within the characters", "fluid flow of the mind", "internal conflict", "rejection of the narrative method in the novel" and "different way of characterization" are the most important components. The manifestations of modernism are in the novels in question.

Covid-19 started from China and spread across the globe resulting in economic challenges, social fracas and psychological unrest. It also triggered strange fear as it was associated with a novel virus and turned-out a pandemic engulfing the whole world. Fear functions as a signal of threat and triggers adaptive responses. This study aimed at examining the e-discourse produced during the spread of the virus and explored the most frequent lexical bundles in the discourse to analyse whether fear appears as a recurrent theme. The e-discourse was developed from webpages that appeared with search word ‘COVID-19’ spanning overthe period of May 03, 2020 to May 20,2020to build the corpus of one million word during the outbreak of the pandemic.Fear does not take place rather it is a social construct. In contemporary public discourse and popular culture, fear as a basic human emotion is all-pervasive. The study combined quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis for the interpretation of the data. For the quantification of lexical bundles, Corpus tool AntConc 3.4.4w (Anthony, 2014) was used to explore the most frequent lexical bundles in the e-discourse related to COVID-19. The quantitative analysis was complemented with qualitative analysis for the in-depth interpretation of the data. The study revealed the high frequency of linguistic choices related to psychiatry, spread of the disease as a pandemic and mental health issues particularly related to children and youth indicating that besides physiological issues, the pandemic had serious psychological implications. Thus,COVID-19 spread across the globe and resulted in intimidation and fear as the virus had no remedy in the then existing situation. Hence, this suggests taking into consideration the psychological repercussions along with the physiological devastation caused by pandemics.

My hope in writing this chapter is to generate enthusiasm for geographical research employing discourse analysis. My intention is to provide some advice on doing discourse analysis to facilitale the design of research. I first outline why some geographers have been inspired by this approach. I suggest how Foucauldian discourse analysis is a break from other critical methods applied to textual analysis, including content analysis, semiology, and iconography. The theoretical underpinnings of the method provided by Michel Foucault, a French poststructuralist philosopher, is a key source of difference. I therefore condense Michel Foucault's contribution to discourse analysis by sketching out his key theoretical concepts and their methodological implications. To discuss the methodological implications 0f doing discourse analysis I draw upon the advice of feminist geographer Gillian Rose and linguist Norman Fairclough. I provide a list of questions to help implement a Foucauldian approach to discourse analysis and illustrate their implications lor 'doing' geography by drawing upon examples. This chapter should therefore be read only as an appetiser as there are many forms of discourse analysis. The suggested readings provide a much larger selection of the theoretical and methodological possibilities.

In recent years, Israel has witnessed two significant processes that challenge the dominant republican discourse that prioritizes military over national-civic service (known as The Israeli national-civilian service—NCS)in terms of contributing the constitution of citizenship and of the material and symbolic convertibility offered to service candidates. The first is related to the expanding range of roles offered in the NCS. The second, related process, which is our current focus, occurs among young religious women from the urban upper-middle class who respond to this expansion by seeking to serve in technological roles, given their high qualifications. Combined, these processes transform the status of the NCS and accelerate the de-monopolization of military service. To examine the contribution of religious young women to the change in the status of service in Israel, we conducted a narrative analysis of interviews with service candidates. Our analysis revealed their strategic use of four different discourses: the neo-liberal economic discourse, the liberal rights and self-realization discourse, the ethnonational discourse, and the religious gender discourse. The way the participants negotiated the four discourses to justify their selection of either military or national-civic service structured their agency as actors transforming the power equation between the two types of service.

The article describes the genre of public apology in the diachronic and synchronic aspects. The data from different types of discourse serve as the material for the analysis: belles­lettres, nonconformist, judicial, political, mass­-media. The method of discourse analysis was the leading one while analyzing the functioning of public apology in various types of interaction. The method of contextual study of communicative situation was also applied. The article defines the communicative aim of the public apology, draws a boundary line between an apology and penitence, and identifies the position of public apology among other genres of judicial discourse. Within the framework of political discourse the author singles out cognitive and discourse peculiarities of public apology and describes the forms of public apology on the national and international levels. The genre of public apology is viewed as representation of values in the discourse of new sensibility. The videos in the format of public apology are analyzed as a separate genre mode.There is a conclusion that the genre approach to the study of the communicative practices in the diachronic and synchronic aspects allows to describe not only the current situation with the genre nomenclature, but also to forecast the development of genre forms.

This study explains the discourse structure of antagonism in one of Trump’s political speeches. The analysis also describes the function of antagonistic discourse for Trump’s political purposes against his opponents from the Democratic Party like Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren. CDA is the approach used in this research. The theories of political frontier antagonism from Malmberg, Howarth, and Stravakakis supported by the annihilating dynamics of meaning from O’Dawyer are applied to the data taken from the transcription of Trump’s political speeches. The findings show that Trump utilizes specific nouns modified by adjectives to form a political barrier of antagonism between him against the opponents of the Democratic Party. The structure of discourse found in this study shows that Trump uses antagonism in his political speech to inflict a heavy blow to his opponents’ political image.

Objective To (1) map how different stakeholders understand telehealth and telecare technologies and (2) explore the implications for development and implementation of telehealth and telecare services. Design Discourse analysis. Sample 68 publications representing diverse perspectives (academic, policy, service, commercial and lay) on telehealth and telecare plus field notes from 10 knowledge-sharing events. Method Following a familiarisation phase (browsing and informal interviews), we studied a systematic sample of texts in detail. Through repeated close reading, we identified assumptions, metaphors, storylines, scenarios, practices and rhetorical positions. We added successive findings to an emerging picture of the whole. Main findings Telehealth and telecare technologies featured prominently in texts on chronic illness and ageing. There was no coherent organising vision. Rather, four conflicting discourses were evident and engaged only minimally with one another's arguments. Modernist discourse presented a futuristic utopian vision in which assistive technologies, implemented at scale, would enable society to meet its moral obligations to older people by creating a safe ‘smart’ home environment where help was always at hand, while generating efficiency savings. Humanist discourse emphasised the uniqueness and moral worth of the individual and tailoring to personal and family context; it considered that technologies were only sometimes fit for purpose and could create as well as solve problems. Political economy discourse envisaged a techno-economic complex of powerful vested interests driving commodification of healthcare and diversion of public funds into private business. Change management discourse recognised the complicatedness of large-scale technology programmes and emphasised good project management and organisational processes. Conclusion Introduction of telehealth and telecare is hampered because different stakeholders hold different assumptions, values and world views, ‘talk past’ each other and compete for recognition and resources. If investments in these technologies are to bear fruit, more effective inter-stakeholder dialogue must occur to establish an organising vision that better accommodates competing discourses.
