THE ROLE OF GENDER IN THE USE OF LANGUAGE IN ONLINE INTERACTIONS: KURDISH INTERLOCUTORS AS NON-NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS by Bikhtiyar Fattah

“…The most two significant concluding points that this study has come up with are: (1) gender diversity affects all the aspects of language including word choice, strategy and style in online interactions, and (2) the frequency of using hedge devices, empty adjectives, euphemistic expressions, apologies, justifications, minimal responses, emoticons, tag-questions, rhetorical questions, intensifiers and exclamatory expressions used by females is far more compared to males. However, males use humor and sarcastic expressions far more compared to females. …”

The Impact of Endoscopic Linear Stapling Device Stability in Thoracic Surgery: A Delphi Panel Approach by Daniel Miller, Diego Gonzalez Rivas, Kellie L. Meyer, Ryan S. Clark, Tadasu Kohno

“…Panelists unanimously agreed that: 1) an endoscopic linear stapling device with improved stability would result in less stress/concern for critical firings, surgeries where a fellow is trained, and robot-assisted surgeries requiring an assistant; 2) reduced unintentional tissue/structure damage and reduced tension on tissue being fired upon may result from use of an endoscopic linear stapling device that provides improvement in stability; and 3) endoscopic linear stapling device stability had more clinical importance in video-assisted thoracic surgery compared to open thoracic surgery. **Conclusions:** Improved endoscopic linear stapling device stability is a critical component of thoracic surgery likely to result in more frequent positive surgical outcomes when compared to a device with greater instability.…”
