This corpus-based study aims to identify the interactional and interactive metadiscourse markers in terms of frequency in the abstract and discussion sections of research articles on linguistics, written in English by native, Egyptian, and Saudi researchers. To attain this aim, 60 research articles have been randomly compiled and analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively via AntConc.3.2.4 depending on Hyland’s (2005) classification of metadiscourse markers (MM). Taking the abstracts and discussions written by the natives as a benchmark, this study poses the following essential question: How close and far is the amount of the interactional and interactive resources in Egyptian and Saudi abstracts and discussions to and from the native level? The results showed that except for hedges, evidential markers, and endophorics, the usage of attitudes, code glosses, engagement markers, self-mentions and transitions in the E-abstracts (i.e. written by Egyptian researchers) was much far from the native level. But in S-abstracts (i.e. abstracts written by Saudi researchers), only two close points to the native level have been recorded: transitions and engagements. In the E-discussion sections, unlike code glosses and frame markers, attitudes, boosters, endophorics, hedges, and self-mentions were reported very close to the N-level. In the S-discussion sections, boosters, code glosses, emphatic, engagement, frame markers, and transitions have recorded far rates from the N-level; whereas only attitudes and hedges were much close to the native normal level.

Counterfeit note has a disastrous impact on a country’s economy. The circulation of such fake notes not only diminishes the value of genuine note but also results in inflation. The feasible solution to this burning issue is to create awareness about the counterfeit notes among public and to equip them with a technology to detect fake notes on their own. Though there exist numerous research articles on detection of fake notes, they are not handy. The reason for this could be the unavailability or unaffordability in acquiring the equipment for the same. This paper proposes an approach whose implementation can easily be deployed on a smart phone and hence anyone with access to them can use the application to detect the fake notes. The proposed approach consists of the processing phases including image procurement, pre-processing, data augmentation, feature extraction and classification. ₹500 notes are considered for experimentation analysis. Out of 17 distinctive features, 3 such from the obverse side are considered to evaluate the genuineness of the note. Siamese neural network is employed to build a model for effective classification of the notes. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated at 85% with respect to accuracy.

The present paper examines the vocabulary contained in the British animated programme Peppa Pig and investigates whether the vocabulary included is frequent but also appropriate for beginner learners of English. It also examines if there is any formulaic language in it. Comparison with the BNC wordlist and with the CYLET and EVP wordlists for beginners suggests that one fifth of the English vocabulary contained in the show is frequent and that a small amount of it overlaps with the proposed vocabulary lists of CYLET and EVP for A1 level. Therefore, the majority of the vocabulary contained in the show is mainly infrequent but still appropriate while the in-depth analysis of selective episodes showed amplitude of formulaic language in the show and plenty repetition of it.

Background In this study, we aimed to evaluate the inclination of orthodontic research published in original articles in three of the most popular and recognized orthodontic journals with high impact factor; American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics (AJODO), the Angle Orthodontist (AO), and European Journal of Orthodontics (EJO) published in a 5-year duration time frame (2010–2014). Materials and Methods Online search with supplementary hand searching was undertaken for original research articles in these three orthodontic journals from 2010 to 2014. Classification of data was completed autonomously by manual and direct appraisal of the manuscript of each journal. Results and Conclusion Three thousand one hundred and forty articles published in AJODO, AO, and EJO in the particular time period were selected, out of which 1783 original research study articles (56.78%) were appraised for classification in their various respective knowledge domains. AO (82.73%) and EJO (76.99%) were relatively more committed toward publication of research work in comparison to AJODO (34.55%). Research articles based on perception and questionnaires (12%), temporary anchorage devices (11%), cone-beam computed tomography (8%), invisible orthodontics (lingual orthodontics, clear aligners, esthetic brackets, and wires) (5%), and airway examination (5%) were the five most recurrently selected subjects of interest (41%) in these three journals during the observation period. The total number of research articles published in the three journals reduced statistically significantly in 2014 when compared to 2010.

Brand Association

In recent years, the practice of co-branding has attracted a large number of research scholars and practitioners. Many of the researchers are also done their research articles with branding or co-branding. Commonly co-branding deals with the combination of two or more brands into a single product. Where co-branding is concerned with a marketing plan to associate with multiple brand names in a single product. The researcher discussed the general classification of brand associations. The paper reveals two classifications of the  statements. The first is to form the general classification of Co-branding. The second aims of this paper are to promote the model of co-branding. The paper is also dealing with analyzing the theories of brand association and brand extension. The paper discussed, along with various case studies of co-branding of products and services.

Successful retrieval of a corpus of literature on a broad topic can be difficult. This study demonstrates a method to retrieve the dental and craniofacial research literature. We explored MeSH manually for dental or craniofacial indexing terms. MEDLINE was searched using these terms, and a random sample of references was extracted from the resulting set. Sixteen dental research experts categorized these articles, reading only the title and abstract, as either: (1) dental research, (2) dental non-research, (3) non-dental, or (4) not sure. Identify Patient Sets (IPS), a probabilistic text classifier, created models, based on the presence or absence of words or UMLS phrases, that distinguished dental research articles from all others. These models were applied to a test set with different inputs for each article: (1) title and abstract only, (2) MeSH terms only, or (3) both. By title and abstract only, IPS correctly classified 64% of all dental research articles present in the test set. The percentage of correctly classified dental research articles in this retrieved set was 71%. MeSH term inclusion decreased performance. Computer programs that use text input to categorize articles may aid in retrieval of a broad corpus of literature better than indexing terms or key words alone.

Unexplained Symptoms

This article explores the making and management of anomaly in scientific work, taking ‘medically unexplained symptoms’ (MUS) as its case. MUS is a category used to characterize health conditions that are widely held to be ambiguous, in terms of their nature, causes and treatment. It has been suggested that MUS is a ‘wastebasket diagnosis’. However, although a powerful metaphor, it does neither the category nor the profession justice: Unlike waste in a wastebasket, unexplained symptoms are not discarded but contained, not ejected but managed. Rather than a ‘wastebasket’, I propose that we instead think about it as a ‘junk drawer’. A junk drawer is an ordering device whose function is the containment of things we want to keep but have nowhere else to put. Based on a critical document analysis of the research literature on MUS (107 research articles from 10 medical journals, published 2001–2016), the article explores how the MUS category is constituted and managed as a junk drawer in medical science.
