As China's red tourism continues to heat up, it not only attracts Chinese people to study, but also welcomes more foreign tourists in recent years. At this time, the English translation of public signs and publicity materials is prominent. Under this background, under the guidance of theories such as cross-cultural pragmatic English translation, a field survey was conducted on the current situation of English translation of major red tourist attractions in Hunan Province. Research shows: There are obvious grammatical errors, nonstandard pragmatics and cultural barriers in the English translation of Hunan red tourism culture. In view of the above problems, we should strengthen the training of foreign language translation talents for red tourism, and introduce relevant English translation standards to standardize them. In addition, it is necessary to establish the English translation corpus of Hunan red tourism culture. The problem of cultural English translation is to improve the translator's cross-cultural awareness and professional quality to achieve the best English translation effect.

Published: July 2023

Purpose: The study aimed at exploring the effects of tidal waves on education of learners of four coastal communities in the Western Region of Ghana.

Methodology: The study employed mixed-method design. The target population under study was 268(475) made up of 25 teachers, 240(446) learners and two Circuit Supervisors from Ghana Education Service Shama District and two opinion leaders. The study used a sample of 24 teachers, 208 learners, two GES personnel and opinion leaders employing Krejcie and Morgan Table (1970) for determining sample size. Data was collected using questionnaires. The data for the research questions was analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively and presented using frequency and percentage tables.

Findings: The study revealed incidence of tidal waves along the coastal four communities in the Western Region. The study also revealed many and diverse effects of tidal waves on the education of the four coastal communities in the Western region of Ghana. Notable among these are loss of space and destruction of educational infrastructure. The one way ANOVA was used to test hypothesis to establish if there was statistical difference between schools and effects of tidal waves. At p< 0.05 there was significant difference between the four schools and effects tidal waves education.  F (3, 204) =5.622, Sig. = .001.

Unique Contributions to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study addressed the gaps that exist in available literature on effects of tidal waves on coastal communities leading to vital contributions. First the study expands the limited research on impact of tidal waves on coastal communities. This study is the first to consider the impact of tidal waves on learners’ education. Secondary, empirical studies on the impact of tidal waves on learners’ education in coastal communities does not exist.  Existing research has always focused on general impact of tidal waves on coastal communities. The theoretical lens for the study is the comprehensive theory for disaster management. Most natural disaster management practices are based on this theory. This theory has four distinct components: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Monitoring and evaluation should form an integral part of this theory and should be considered in all the four components of the theory in managing natural disasters.

Published: July 2023

The purpose of this study is to present a learning support plan for borderline intelligence learners who are repeatedly sluggish by utilizing the cognitive reality of digital literacy.
Based on literature research, the influence of digital literacy and cognitive presence on learning was analyzed. As a result of the analysis, digital literacy is the foundation of learning, and learning outcomes vary depending on the degree of understanding of digital literacy. In order to strengthen the cognitive ability of borderline intelligence students, the learning of digital competencies and the production of content to experience a sense of cognitive reality were presented. It is a content that adds stories, pictures, and videos related to the learning concept. Cognition and understanding ability can be strengthened by increasing immersion through learning content. By assessing the cognitive, behavioral, and emotional functions of borderline intelligence learners, we can facilitate meaningful education through the utilization of relevant content.
As follow-up research, research on methods for enhancing the digital literacy competency of students with borderline intelligence, research on cognitive function-enhancing content, and simulation models for each function of students with borderline intelligence should be continued.
A Study on Moral Sensitivity for Educating Ethical Responsibility
Authors:   The K Association of Education Research, Jeong Cheol-Yeong
Published: July 2023

As beings who live facing others, we have a peculiarity of trying to lead a human life from a very human perspective. These relationship-centered singularities can be explained from a psychological point of view, especially based on the fact that Emmanuel Levinas is a clue to emotion and moral sensitivity. Human tendencies are relational and have the ability to listen to the object's verbal and nonverbal expression behavior as a positive characteristic in forming human relationships. This provides a theory of the human element of facing and moral temperament in the attitude of empathizing with the other person, and above all, it can be understood as the positivity of human emotional activities.
We must choose correctly while the inner voice and the moral command of pure reason coexist. Levinas' sensitivity is a sympathetic emotional listening that spreads from the face to the face resulting from the other. This study attempts to prove the moral relevance of these concepts based on Levinas' theory of correct choice and ethical responsibility based on data on the situation of human relationship-forming ability of listening attitude, accountability, and moral sensitivity.
ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICATION OF FORENSIC TOOLS IN CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION IN NIGERIA; A CASE STUDY OF BENIN METROPOLIS.
Authors: ETİN-OSA Deborah
Published: July 2023

Abstract Crime scene investigation is a significant and vital stage in criminal investigation. The process is a very long and tedious exercise that involves meticulous documentation of the crime scene leading to collection and recovery of evidence in order to deduce the events of a crime. Doing this, requires the application of some scientific or forensic tools which enables the prosecution to produce credible evidence with which to get justice for the victim. Objectives; This study was therefore conducted to investigate the application of forensic tools in crime scene investigation in Nigerian using Benin City as a case study. Method; In the study, investigators of the various investigative units in Edo State Criminal Investigations Department in Benin City within the three local government areas that make up Benin metropolis was the study population. Data was collected using a semi-structured questionnaire and key informant interview from senior serving and retired police officers. 110 respondents were initially drawn as the sample for the study, however, only 98 results were received and were used for the final sample. Using an interview schedule and statistical analysis technique, the data were critically analyzed. Results; Results from the study showed non usage of any form of forensic evidence in the various investigations carried out by the Police. Challenges, such as poor training, inadequate funding and interference from diverse quarters contribute to limit the effective use of forensic investigation in the conduct of criminal investigations. Conclusion; The Police being the chief execution arm of government and by implication other law enforcement agencies, the legal community and the Nigerian public are yet to fully grasp the nucleus or important roles of forensics science in crime investigation. On this premise, it was recommended that specialized forensic units be established for criminal investigations which should be adequately funded.
The Imaculada as Portugal’s Patroness
Authors: Krass Urte
Published: July 2023

On 25 March 1646, John IV proclaimed Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception patroness of Portugal. An engraving presenting John IV as defender of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception is analyzed, as is the coin struck and distributed on the occasion of the oath. A Bengali wall hanging or bedspread (colcha) in which a king appears without a crown is brought together with this event. A second, related colcha recounts in detail the events that led to the coup d’état and thus shows how dense the exchange of information was between individual Portuguese domains. The numerous ivory statuettes of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception made in India and Sri Lanka are linked here for the first time to John IV’s oath of fealty.

Published: July 2023

The demand for aesthetic and rejuvenating treatments is increasing in society, with that the demand for orofacial harmonization increases exponentially every day. Orofacial harmonization is a set of procedures performed by the Dentist / Dental Surgeon, which aims at the aesthetic and functional balance of the face. Steroid hormones are of great importance in aging due to the decrease of some during this process. However, poor diet including sugar consumption, changes in the sleep cycle, alcohol use, tobacco, lack of exercise and excessive exposure to UV rays also contribute to aging. We present the case of a female patient, 47 years old, who had failures in her menstrual cycle for more than 6 months, and the presence of melasma. Laboratory tests revealed changes in her hormone and vitamin levels, the clinical examination reported dry skin with blemishes, and she also reported excessive fatigue. In order to stabilize melasma and improve the appearance of the skin and obtain a better result in orofacial harmonization, bioidentical steroid hormone replacement therapy and vitamin supplementation were performed. Within 3 months of starting therapy with testosterone, progesterone, melatonin, vitamin D, and supplementation with nutraceuticals, it was observed that during treatment the patient showed a change in the appearance of her skin. The results show that in order to obtain a good response to the orofacilli harmonization treatment, it is extremely important to have a correct homeostasis.

Published: July 2023

This paper presents a social study on the maritime port of Montreal investigating the spread of social inclusion in the maritime industry. We used both qualitative and quantitative methods, including structural equation modeling to answer the research questions. Our findings show that the spread of social inclusion was significant in the port in terms of workplace diversity and inclusion, the workplace environment, and the port’s responsibility toward society. These findings highlight specific factors that are currently being overlooked and thus require greater industry collaboration. The proposed framework also serves as a tool for a single maritime port to self-assess its current stage of sustainable development, with implications for future social-inclusion implementation strategies.
Energy-efficient resource management framework for cloud data centers
Authors:   , Sibiya Khulekani
Published: July 2023

The continuing global surge in various cloud services, IoT, and Edge (Fog) computing has led to a sudden increase in the demand for Datacenters. By definition, a data center is a physical facility that corporations/organizations use to house their critical applications and data. A data canter‟s design is based on a network of computing and storage resources that enable the delivery of shared applications and data. Notable advantages of Data Centers include but are not limited, to their ability to provide services to end-users based on affordable rates in various plans as per contractual agreements. They also offer a robust hardware ecosystem as well as software. In operational terms, data centers offer reliable and enhanced system performance by way of carefully distributing the traffic loads uniformly across the cluster nodes. In that way, end users are excused from maintenance responsibilities. Data centers also afford instant scalability based on changing capacity demands by users. To enhance the fail-safe abilities of data canters, backup systems are incorporated. A notable drawback of Datacenters is the high power consumption which up both CAPEX and OPEX costs. E.g it is prohibitively costly to erect robust cooling systems for a large-scale data center. The same cooling system ought to be scalable to accommodate future expansions of the data centers in terms of new services that may require new hardware to be incorporated. Thus scalability of energy supply capacity is quite a challenge. Thus, how to maximize power utilization and optimizing the performance per power budget is critical for data centers to deliver enough computation ability. Overall the operational costs of Data centers directly link the resource management algorithms implemented to assign virtual machines (VMs) to actual hardware servers and degrees of flexibility to relocate them elsewhere in case of emergencies usually associated with power losses of excessive heating of system elements. The main contribution of this thesis is in proposing and analyzing a hierarchical SLA-based distributed hierarchical resource allocation and optimization scheme, that considers constraints such as energy consumption and cooling-related energy consumption in addition to the scalability issue. We also incorporate a load-balancing algorithm to minimize the operational costs of the proposed scheme. We utilize CloudSim, which is a customizable tool that supports the modeling, and creation of several VMs, (as well as mapping tasks to appropriate VMs) for the scheme‟s performance evaluation. Ultimately obtained results show that the scheme significantly reduces the operational costs of the overall cloud data center system and at the same time ensures energy efficiency.

Authors: Dr. Ighoroje Ese James  , Dr. Ozigbo Sylvester A.
Published: July 2023

The study investigated the effect of environmental performance disclosure on the profitability of listed firms in the Oil and Gas industry in Nigeria. The expost facto study useda panel model involving five firms and time series covering ten (2011 to 2020) years. The panel model selection determined by the Hausman test showed that both time periods and cross section influence the variables in the model which prompted the use of the Random Effect Model for the model estimation. The result of the analysis showed that the disclosure of environmental performance of the oil and gas firms determines about 18% of the variations in the productivity of quoted firms in the sector. From the specific objectives, the findings revealed that environmental prevention cost has negative and no significant effect on the profit for the year of the oil and gas firm in Nigeria; environmental evaluation costs disclosurehave a negative and significant effect on the profit for the year of the oil and gas firms in Nigeria; and environmental internal failure costs disclosure has a negative and no significant effect on the profit for the year of oil and gas firms in Nigeria. The study thus posit that disclosure of environmental performance is not a veritable determinant of the productivity oil and gas firms in Nigeria.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections for Chronic Tendinopathies in the Lower Extremities
Authors: Khangura Sara D. , Bailey Sharon
Published: July 2023

Findings from systematic reviews describing comparative clinical evidence for platelet-rich plasma injections (PRPi) in the treatment of chronic tendinopathies of the lower extremities were mixed.

The systematic reviews we identified were often unclear concerning the components or treatment protocols used in the administration of PRPi, which may have contributed to the lack of a clear demonstration of effect.

The variety of patient populations, comparisons, and outcomes in the included systematic reviews may also have contributed to the mixed findings.

The lack of a clear demonstration of the comparative clinical effectiveness of PRPi in chronic tendinopathies of the lower extremities does not currently support decision-making in favour of its use.

Authors: Mardiningsih Heni
Published: July 2023

Public Speaking Technical Training is training that equips trainees with public speaking competence. Lack of knowledge and experience causes participants to have difficulty in mastering speech material, remembering scripts, unable to convey messages with the right intonation or gestures and do not to know how to composing speech texts. This research contributes to explaining how the competence of participants in technical public speaking training needs to be understood and mastered by ASN through a study of Aristotle's rhetorical studies. Aristotle's law of rhetoric consist of inventio, despositio, acutio, memoria and pronuntitio. Based on the results of interviews, observations and documentation, explained that in general, the participants were not familiar and understood the five basic laws of rhetorical studies for public speaking. Even after attending the training, the participants' speaking competence only slightly increased. This shows that the participants' understanding and application of the public speaking training material is still low. While the cognitive abilities of the participants increased after participating in the training, as indicated by the average post-test score of 40 participants of 78, which was higher than the pre-test average value of 52. Hence, it is necessary to have follow-up actions through training and continuous assistance in the practice of public speaking in order to deliver higher quality speaker, writer, moderator or presenter, by applying the five laws of Aristotle's rhetorical studies.

Ground leaves of Lawsonia inermis (LI) made into a paste has been used from the Bronze Age as cosmetic application. Para-Phenylenediamine (PPD) is an organic compound that is added to LI to increase its aesthetic appearance and longevity. Addition of PPD increases the possibility of allergic contact dermatitis from LI tattoo combinations, and may be absorbed through the skin, affecting body organs. The current study was conducted to determine the effect of this mixture on the histology of skin, liver and kidney tissue. Thirty albino rats were grouped into five groups. The treatment protocol included a control group (I), application of LI paste alone for a period of two weeks (II), and four weeks (III), and a combination of LI and PPD for two weeks (IV), and four weeks (V). All rats in each group had an area on the lumbar region shaved and marked, and the paste was applied to this region. The rats were sacrificed after the experimental period and the tissues of interest removed for further histological and morphometric analysis. Application of LI alone caused no observable histological changes, however, in combination with PPD, LI caused thinning of the epidermis, reduction in the quantity of collagen fibers in the dermis, distorted the arrangement of hepatocytes, caused infiltration of inflammatory cells into the liver tissue and distortion in the arrangement of renal tubular epithelial cells. The longer the exposure to LI and PPD, the more alteration to the normal histology of tissues.

The deep femoral artery and its branches are vital for the arterial circulation of the lower extremity. The aim of the current study is to obtain morphometric and morphological data on the deep femoral artery and its branches and to investigate their clinical importance in the Turkish population. Morphometric measurements of the deep femoral artery and femoral artery were performed. The diameters of the femoral artery and deep femoral artery were measured in the axial plane. Classification was made according to the size of these diameters. A morphological classification was obtained by examining the variations of the deep femoral artery branches. The distance from the origin of the deep femoral artery to the midpoint of the inguinal ligament was 39.56 ± 8.52 mm, and the distances from the origin of the lateral circumflex femoral artery to the medial circumflex femoral artery were 17.15 ± 4.79 mm and 12.52 ± 4.58 mm, respectively. The study results show that there was a significant difference between genders in terms of the diameters measured. In the classification made by using the diameters, Type D (39%) had the highest rate, whereas Type C had the lowest rate (7.3%). According to the morphological classification, Type I (52.1%) was the most common in all individuals, and Type V and Type VII (2.3%) were the least common. Our study includes both morphometric and morphological information about the femoral artery and deep femoral artery of the Turkish population. We consider that the current study will be useful for cardiologists, interventional radiologists, orthopedists, and regional surgeons in clinical practice.
