Authors: Adeniran Adedapo Adedayo , Adeyanju Emmanuel , Okeke Nneka Kingslena
Published: May 2022

Gongronema latifolium Benth belongs to the family Apocynaceae. Generally, the leaves and stems of G. latifolium are used as medicine and spices for sauces, soups and salads in Southern Nigeria. In view of its medicinal uses, the present study aimed at documenting anatomical characters and physicochemical properties for its standardization. The leaf epidermis, transverse section of the midrib, petiole and stem were prepared using standard procedures. Physicochemical properties of the powdered plant were conducted following standard methods. The leaf epidermal layer revealed anomocytic stomata, calcium oxalate crystals (rosette), uniseriate multicellular trichome (non-glandular). The midrib has an abundantly non glandular trichome with numerous rosette crystals. The percentage extractive values for ethanol, distilled water and petroleum ether in the leaf powder were 16.71±0.53, 13.24±0.71 and 2.08±0.13%, respectively, while that of stem were 12.51±0.15, 10.90±0.53 and 1.10±0.21, respectively. The moisture content and total ash values for the leaf powder were 11.45±0.53 and 9.70±0.17%, respectively while for the stem were 11.07±0.38 and 7.50±0.05, respectively. In the light of frequent consumption and use of G. latifolium as medicine, some of the pharmacognostic standards provided herein may be useful for its proper identification and subsequent compilation in a monograph.
Polymorphism of growth hormone gene and its association with body measurement traits in Boer goat does
Authors: Rashijane L.T. , Mbazima V.G. , Tyasi T.L.
Published: May 2022

The study examined single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the growth hormone gene (GH1) in Boer goat does and their relationship with body measurement traits, namely bodyweight, body length, heart girth, rump height, rump width, ear length, cannon circumference, and head width. Seventy-six Boer goat does between the ages of 2 and 4 years were used as experimental animals. Polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing techniques were used to detect SNPs. Chi-square test was used to measure the genetic equilibrium and a general linear model was used for the marker-trait association analysis. The PCR-RFLP and DNA sequencing results discovered one SNP (G505C) in the exon 5 of the candidate gene with two genotypes observed (AA and AB). The association analysis indicated that bodyweight was associated with the genotypes (P <0.01), but not with any of the morphometric traits. A chi-square analysis indicated that the genotypic frequencies were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The polymorphism discovered in this study is a putative marker that might assist farmers in improving their does’ bodyweight through marker-assisted selection.

There is a dearth of scientific information about the physicochemical characteristics of eggs from ratite birds including emus. Thus, an experiment was carried out with 19 laying emu ((Dromaius novaehollandiae) hens, maintained in cages, and divided into two groups according to age, to record morphometric and physicochemical characteristics of the eggs. The width, length, average weight, form index, Haugh unit, yolk index, percentage of egg components, yolk pigmentation, pH of yolk and albumen, and eggshell weight and thickness were recorded. This morphometric characterization was influenced by the age of the hen. Neither the yolk nor albumen pH was influenced by the age of the bird. The eggs from emus that were raised in captivity presented physical and morphometric characteristics that varied with age, although they remained within the ranges of observations that were previously observed for ratite species, but were different from those of domestic chickens. The high fragility and easy rupture of the vitelline membrane in the emu eggs may limit the use of this product in industrial applications. Further studies of emu eggs are needed to improve their suitability for consumption and for the food industry.

Published: May 2022

The purpose of this study was to examine the fatty acid and chemical composition of the Longissimus dorsi (LD) from male Tuj and Hemşin lambs reared in extensive, semi-intensive and intensive feeding systems. At the end of 90 days eight lambs from each breed and feeding system were slaughtered to determine chemical composition, and six lambs in each group were selected at random to assess fatty acid composition. Breed and feeding system interaction affected the quantities of saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), and the atherogenic (AI), thrombogenic (TI), and nutritive value (NVI) indices. In Hemşin the ratio of PUFA to SFA was higher in lambs fed in the extensive system than those produced in the semi-intensive and intensive systems, which were similar, whereas in Tuj this ratio decreased from the extensive to semi-intensive to intensive feeding systems. The ratio of omega n-6 to omega n-3 fatty acids was lower in the extensive and semi-intensive systems than it was in intensively fed Hemşin lambs, but increased with the intensity of feeding in Tuj lambs. Intramuscular fat content was higher in Hemşin lambs than in Tuj lambs and increased with the intensity of the feeding system. Conjugated linoleic acid content (CLA) was affected by feeding system in Hemşin lambs, but not in Tuj lambs. Because of their high PUFA/SFA ratio and low TI value, Tuj lambs reared in extensive feeding system were deemed to have the best performance.
Improved Principal Component Analysis and Linear Discriminant Analysis for the Determination of Origin of Coffee Beans using
Authors: Deribe Jiru Endale , Guta Wordofa Berhanu , Redi-Abshiro Mesfin
Published: May 2022

In this work an improved Principal Component Analysis (pca) method is used for better determination of geographical origins of Ethiopian Green Coffee Beans. In the commercially available and widely employed pca methods the dataset is commonly normalized using Z-score procedure, which reduces the influence of the spread of data (or dispersion degree differences) on principal components (pcs). In the improved method, a new normalization procedure is introduced with the aim to improve the spread (dispersion) of data points around the mean. The pcs computed from the improved procedure could significantly better reflect information of the original dataset. The dispersion degree information in the original dataset was retained relatively much by using the improved pca than the Z-score-based pca. The improved pca was then used to identify the most discriminating variables corresponding to the coffee samples and, based on that, Linear Discrimination Analysis (lda) model was developed to classify and predict samples. The recognition and prediction abilities of the improved pca and lda at regional level respectively were 95.7% and 94% (using Chlorogenic Acids (cga s) content), 91% and 97% (using Fatty Acids (FA) content), 99% and 100% (and using the combined cga and FA contents). Mehari et al. (2016, 2019) reported recognition and prediction of the pca, they applied on the same dataset, at regional level were 91% and 90% (using cga s content) and 95% and 92 % (using fas content), respectively. The result reveals that the newly introduced method is superior and the best discriminations of coffee beans were achieved. The combined analysis of cga and fa concentrations is a useful tool for the determination of origin of coffee beans, and we recommend that the concerned bodies should use it to address the characterization, classification and authentication of Ethiopian coffee beans according to their geographical origins.

Fundusz Pomocy Krajowi w Londynie a ruch wydawnictw niezależnych w kraju (1976–1990)
Authors: Sowiński Paweł
Published: May 2022

Artykuł podejmuje zagadnienie pomocy dla opozycji demokratycznej w Polsce rozwijanej przez polską emigrację polityczną w świecie zachodnim w latach 70. i 80. XX wieku. Studium zogniskowane jest na jednej, ale ważnej inicjatywie – Funduszu Pomocy Krajowi w Londynie. W latach 1976–1990 Fundusz zebrał ponad 280 tysięcy funtów (ok. 850 tysięcy dzisiejszych funtów) na pomoc dla polskiej opozycji. Należał do kluczowych organizacji w systemie wsparcia procesów demokratyzacyjnych w Polsce przed 1989 rokiem. Tekst wpisuje się w historiografię zimnej wojny, która akcentuje akcje podejmowane na rzecz jedności Europy. Autor wskazuje na wagę społecznych wysiłków emigracji. Uwypukla rolę pośredników na drodze do Polski. Jednocześnie autor stara się wpisać historię Funduszu w szerszy kontekst międzynarodowy.

The article depicts the efforts by the Polish emigre in the Western world to give support to the Polish pro-democratic movement under the communist dictatorship in the 1970s and 1980s. The focus of the text is only one yet important initiative, namely, Aid Poland Fund (Fundusz Pomocy Krajowi). In 1976–1990, the London-based Fund raised more than 280 thousand British pounds – circa 850 thousand British pounds in today’s money – for a Polish opposition. The Fund was a major unit in transnational advocacy networks to foster a democratic transition in Poland before 1989. The scholarship draws from the Cold War historiography that emphasize the actions undertaken to unify the European continent. The author heavily stresses the role of the Fund’s intermediaries on the way to Poland but also places them in the larger context of international politics.
Experimental Evaluation of Water Supply Pipe Joints against Seismic Ground Deformation: A Four-point Bending Test
Authors: Kang HaYoung , Kim Jun Young , Kim Youngnoh , Park Seongjun , Kim Jong-Oh
Published: May 2022

Due to permanent ground deformation (PGD) such as earthquakes and liquefaction, water supply pipes and connected joints may experience rotation and deflection through losing its function and complex water contamination. Since the specifications of joints are different in each country, evaluating joints are difficult to manage the functional maintenance of water network system. In this study, two metallic and three non-metallic pipe joints were selected through the joints commonly used in Korea. PGD simulation could be conducted through Four-point bending test which derives the result of deflection angle, moment, and strain value for damaged pipes. Each component showed above M-1 grade which resulted based on the grade of ISO 16134. To compare metallic pipe results, collar joint showed stronger binding force than the mechanical joint, but in deflection angle result mechanical showed higher value. In non-metallic pipe test, since its material contains large flexibility, strain value mainly affected its result. Based on this study, functional evaluation of water supply pipeline regarding the PGD was identified through comparing tendency of each joint characterization. Moreover, these data can be expected to be utilized as the basis of performance evaluation and critical component in piping design.

A Comparative Study of Translation Errors Made by Odia ESL Learners
Authors: Kanungo Sasmita
Published: May 2022

The study investigates the types of errors made by the Odia ESL learners while performing the task of both direct translation i.e., from Odia (L1) to English (L2) and inverse translation, i.e. from English (L2) to Odia (L1). It will also make an attempt to find out whether the medium of instruction has to play a significant role in committing these errors or not. The data were gathered from 30 Odia ESL learners studying in Class X and who were divided into two groups of the equal number on the basis of the medium of instruction they had in their school. The participants were assigned the task of translating two passages (one from L1 to L2 & the other from L2 to L1). The study was conducted at two different educational institutions in Odisha. Participants had to write down the translation directly on th e paper. The written data were analyzed thereafter by the researcher herself. The result of the analysis revealed that the medium of instruction has no role to play in committing the types of translation errors by the Odia ESL learners.
Education and the Vernacular in 19th Century Bengal: Translation, Print, and Standardization
Authors: Tah Abhishek
Published: May 2022

With the introduction of print modalities and the subsequent introduction of modern/western education systems, the questions of language, vernacular e ducation, book production, and translations became important in 19 th century Bengal. As the introduction of a new epistemological system in 19 th century Bengal necessitated the production of books and translations, several western knowle dge texts got translated into Bengali by the efforts of various individuals and institutions. These translations play a pivotal role in producing textbooks in Bengali and represent a site where the structure and vocabulary of the Bengali language got standardised and redefined through printed language and language of translations. This study tracks the translations produced by the collaboration of Fort William College and Serampore Missionary Press, Calcutta Sc hool Book Society and Vernacular Literature Society and argues that the translations produced by these institutions gave shape to a kind of Bengali language that represented a class and social hierarchy. This study argues that the translations produced by the aforementioned institutions and the printed textbooks paved a way for the upper-class urban elites to mould the Bengali language in their way (by excluding the colloquial register and language of the masses) to represent their ethos and class hierarchy and identity. This study argues that the translations produced by these institutions, in many ways, were the tools through which the various contesting views on the form and diction of the language of/in print got articulated.

Published: May 2022

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the awareness of Yemeni translation students of the importance of discourse analysis (DA) in translation. It has been conducted to find out the role of DA in enhancing students’ translation and its influence in improving their translation. For this purpose, a questionnaire was designed as the instrument to investigate the students’ awareness of DA importance in translating process. Third- and fourth-level students from three Yemeni universities were chosen to answer the que stionnaire. The results reveal that Yemeni students have an orientation of the importance of DA in translation; they are awar e of the role of DA in translation. The study concludes that understanding DA is one of the golden keys for successful translation. It is a very important course, which translation students should take and indispensable to the translation field. So there is a strong link between DA and translation. The study recommends that DA be a part of university curricula and translators’ training, and students should take a practical part with translation to apply the analysis of a text.
Translating Form over Lexis: A Study through Select Odia Poetry in English Translation
Authors: Nayak Madhumita , Parhi Asima Ranjan
Published: May 2022

Translation is a productive e xercise born out of linguistic activity. It not only shares the knowledge system of one literary narrative with the target language readers but also fulfils the pedagogical requirements. In fact, translation of the poetic form is caught in the perennial dilemma of transferring the sense, form, mode, and content. A kind of poetry that manifests its lyricism, formal beauty by relying on native imagery or a certain sentiment poses the biggest challenge before the translator in the sense that unless its very mood is captured in the target language, the essence would be lost. Utilitarian prose does not run this risk since the transfer of idea becomes its prime aim. So the translator of the poetic domain categorically develops a formal sche ma by retaining rhyme, metre or other such devices of the source language thereby guiding the readers to the original text. The present paper is an attempt to explore the nature of translation in terms of poetry, specially written for consumption by the common mass. The data for the same is drawn from Odia poetry in English translation. The main focus of the paper will be on: i. The importance of translating the form while balancing the originality of work and in recreating a piece that evokes the same response and sense. ii. Comparing portions of the poetic text in translation and ascertaining a valid space for this conceptual and philosophical essence.
The Intersection of Translators’ Ideology and Linguistic Context: Jayanti Dalal and Harendra Bhatt in a Comparative Framework
Authors: Chavda Ashish
Published: May 2022

The paper attempts to critically examine two literary translations of George Orwell’s novella Animal Farm: A Fairy Story (1945) into the Gujarati language. The two translations published in chronological order are Pashurajya (October 1947 ;) translated by Jayanti Dalal (1909–1970) and Chopaga Nu Raj (2015 ;) translated by Harendra Bhatt (1953). Both the translations are viewed through the observations of translation theorists Lawrence Venuti, Eugene Nida, and Peter Newmark with regard to what makes a good translation. While the question of whether these translations of the source text were alert to George Orwell’s political ideology and the resonances was paid attention to, how the translations are placed particularly within the Gujarati language and its culture is closely examined. Similarly, the analytical study situates the author and his text in their particular historical context and seeks to determine how the translations of the source text are likewise informed by the translators’ political and individual ideologies and the lexical choices they made in translating the text and relocating it within the Gujarati milieu. Critically, both the translations contain complex issues related to their lexical variations, translators’ potentialities and their ideologies that will help to distinguish the translated texts in many ways. In the linguistic equivalence approach, the use of colloquial words, renaming of characters’ names and translation of the sentence struc ture in both the translations are found to be diverse because of one of the translators’ choices of exercising liberty and their potentialities. The translator’s use of freely added sentences will also be examined in Chopaga Nu Raj. The comparative study concludes, by linguistically examining the translation of Minimus’s poem in Pashurajya and Chopaga Nu Raj.

Published: May 2022

Diferentes métodos são utilizados na iniciação esportiva, entre eles o tradicional (tecnicismo) e as Novas Tendências em Pedagogia do Esporte (interacionismo). O objetivo dessa pesquisa é apresentar a visão de professores universitários, de cursos de Educação Física, sobre a iniciação esportiva, a idade ideal para a iniciar no esporte e os processos metodológicos de ensino, verificando relações com as metodologias tecnicistas ou interacionistas. Um questionário foi enviado para vinte e oito professores de Educação Física que lecionam no ensino superior. Os professoresresponderam ao questionário construído pelos pesquisadores, com questões abertas que buscavam identificar informações sobre o que esses professores pensam sobre as características metodológicas de ensino-aprendizagem na iniciação esportiva. Após a coleta dos dados, as respostas foram agrupadas, de acordo com os temas e similaridades, para que então fossem analisadas qualitativamente. Houve três definições diferentes para iniciação esportiva: simplista (visão estereotipada da iniciação esportiva), reduzida aos conteúdos ou a um significado (anteceder a especialização esportiva) e a visão complexa do fenômeno. Sobre a idade para se iniciar, as opiniões divergem entre a infância e a qualquer momento, abarcando a iniciação esportiva tardia. Todos os professores mencionaram o jogo como método de ensino ideal, porém, alguns ainda acreditam que a fragmentação dos conteúdos é necessária. Apresentar a visão dos professores dos cursos de Educação Física sobre iniciação esportiva fornece pistas de uma possível mudança nos métodos de ensino de esportes, pois verificou-se uma tendência a tratar da iniciação esportiva de forma complexa, privilegiando os métodos interacionistas de ensino.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar o nível da habilidade motora básica de arremessar por cima do ombro em três contextos diferentes (teste formal [T], festival de arremessos [F] e um jogo de arremessar [J]) e se os contextos podem influenciar o nível habilidoso. Nas três situações, 45 crianças entre sete e oito anos de idade executaram três tentativas. A maioria não atingiu os níveis esperados para faixa etária. O teste de Friedman foi utilizado para comparação dos resultados obtidos nos diferentes contextos. O nível de habilidade motora variou significativamente quando comparados os resultados da situação de jogo em relação as outras duas. As diferenças entre os contextos foram estatisticamente significantes nos seguintes componentes do arremesso: oscilação preparatória entre os contextos de T e J; J e F em todas as tentativas. Na ação do antebraço a variabilidade apareceu entre F e J. Na ação do úmero a variância foi entre o F e J. Em relação aos níveis motores intragrupos, houve diferença estatisticamente significante na situação T apenas na oscilação preparatória, na F a variabilidade ocorreu nos membros inferiores, tronco e oscilação preparatória e no jogo apenas nos membros inferiores. A maioria das crianças não atingiram os níveis esperados da habilidade motora. Verificou-se a relação entre esses contextos, as restrições da tarefa e os níveis de habilidade. Há evidências de que demandas do ambiente podem influenciar o nível de habilidade motora demonstrado.

Published: May 2022

The clinical spectrum of SARS-CoV-2 infection continues to expand, raising important fundamental issues regarding the SARS-CoV-2 cellular tropism and pathogenic mechanisms. Liver damage is observed in patients with all forms of COVID-19, especially severe and critical forms, which could be due to the direct viral damage, immune dysregulation (systemic inflammatory response and cytokine storm), hypoxia-ischemia, drug-induced hepatotoxicity, and concomitant chronic disorders. Liver damage, defined primarily by elevated transaminase levels, is often observed in patients with COVID-19 and correlates with clinical outcomes, including mortality. Diagnostic criteria, pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of liver injury in COVID-19 should be clarified in further clinical trials. Currently, there is a critical shortage of proven treatment options for patients with COVID-19, resulting in an urgent need to study the multiple organ failure and liver damage pathogenesis in patients with this disease. The review provides information about the pathophysiological mechanisms of the SARS-CoV-2-induced liver damage and the development of liver failure in COVID-19. Information sources were searched in the PubMed database using the keywords “liver damage in COVID-19” and “immune liver damage in COVID-19”.

Published: May 2022

Technological innovations (artificial intelligence, IoT, robotics, etc.) have begun to change the way companies do business. Businesses will need to develop a change management plan in personnel qualifications, leadership structure, organizational climate, and many other aspects to keep up with these changes. Recruiting people who are open to innovation and to change, assigning employees with the appropriate innovativeness level to jobs that require being innovative, and encouraging employees to behave innovatively in the organization will be the most important parts of the plan. Therefore, both the individual innovativeness and innovative work behavior (IWB) of employees and leaders will become even more important for businesses in the near future. Based on this view, this study was carried out with the aim of developing a decision support system (DSS) that will support organizations in recruiting highly innovative employees and managing innovative behaviors of employees. To achieve this, DSS measures the individual innovativeness of job applicants and the IWB of corporate employees. Individual innovativeness and IWB are evaluated in the DSS by scoring based on statistical analysis methods. The DSS developed in this study helps the company to stay on an innovative line by increasing its innovation potential and to keep up with the destructive changes predicted that the future will require. This paper makes a contribution to linking the HRM literature and innovation literature.

A fauna de Cicadellidae (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha) da região Neotropical tem sido pouco estudada, com cerca de 5.000 espécies descritas, do total de 22.000 espécies no mundo. No Brasil há registro de 2.000 espécies com apenas 112 para o Estado do Espírito Santo, embora esta seja uma região do Bioma Mata Atlântica que apresenta alta diversidade, indicando deficiência nas amostragens. Este estudo registra e diagnostica taxonomicamente as espécies de Cicadellidae ocorrentes na Reserva Natural Vale (Bioma Mata Atlântica) e arredores, Linhares, Estado do Espírito Santo. As coletas de Cicadellidae foram realizadas com armadilhas luminosas durante sete anos (outubro/2012 a janeiro/2018) durante a primavera-verão. Se processaram 9.467 espécimes de Cicadellidae, 82 morfo-espécies em 9 subfamílias, 20 tribos e 50 gêneros, sendo as mais abundantes: Eurymelinae (4.285), Deltocephalinae (3.314) e Cicadellinae (1.133) e pelo maior número de espécies: Deltocephalinae (33), Iassinae (14) e Eurymelinae (11). As análises resultaram na descrição de 37 espécies novas, dentro das subfamílias: Aphrodinae (2 spp.), Cicadellinae (3 spp.), Coelidiinae (1 sp.), Deltocephalinae (10 spp.), Eurymelinae (11 spp.), Iassinae (6 spp.), Megophthalminae (2 spp.), Neocoelidiinae (2 spp.). Além das novas espécies foram registradas pela primeira vez para o estado do Espírito Santo, uma subfamília, 28 gêneros e 34 espécies. Palavras-chave: Diversidade. Cicadellidae. Taxonomia. Edeago.
