A significant improvement in vocabulary comprehension was found to have been correlated with learners taking advantage of a visual dictionary compared to those who did not use such a resource. This idea points out that visual dictionaries could be a good option for students to enhance their vocabulary acquisition efforts. This research used a quasi-experimental design and the test as the research instrument to determine the students' vocabulary mastery. In this research, the test is the research instrument to determine the student's vocabulary mastery. This research has been conducted on seventh-grade students in the academic year 2022-2023 with a total sample of sixty respondents. A random sampling technique was employed to determine the group of respondents. The experimental and control groups' average scores differ, as determined by the data analysis. By comparison, the control group attained an average score of 61.7, but the group participating in the experiment attained a mean score 80. The average scores indicate that the group participating in the experiment achieved a mean score greater than the control class.

Understanding all symbols of traditional rites and fostering mutual respect, compassion, sympathy and empathy for other cultures is understood as a new angle. Moreover, semiotic construction is a contact tool for cultural qualities. This research aims to explore and reveal the multicultural values that are contained in the Tiba Meka rite. The analysis examines 50 custom spokespersons over the period of February to December 2019 and uses interviews, stationery collection, field notes and audio-visual recordings. Three research results concerning the Tiba Meka rite were found. First, semiotic meanings used in Tiba Meka rites are semiotic expressions that invite national or international outsiders, government guests, religious leaders and community leaders. Second, the philosophy relates to the theory, personality and morality of economics behind semiotic spoken words. This philosophy is influenced by the following main philosophies: pragmatism and indoctrism. Third, the Tiba Meka rite’s multicultural values include respect, gender, politics, solidarity, faith, tolerance, political, social, economic, authority and familiarity, and these values promote intercultural communication.

Antiguamente se conceptuaba que dichas alteraciones predisponían exclusivamente a un estado de hipocoagulabilidad, debido a la baja producción hepática de factores procoagulantes y a la trombocitopenia característica. Actualmente existe evidencia de mecanismos de compensación que llevan a un reequilibrio hemostático, que es inestable y fácilmente desregulado ante comorbilidades, complicaciones y progresión de la enfermedad, conduciendo a fenómenos prohemorrágicos o protrombóticos, como trombosis venosa portal, tromboembolismo venoso, etc. Para determinar eficazmente si un paciente cirrótico tiene riesgo de sangrado, no son de utilidad las pruebas de coagulación convencionales. El tratamiento dependerá del estado hipo o hipercoagulable del paciente. Para ello desarrollamos una revisión de los fenómenos hemostáticos en la cirrosis, con el fin de da...
