The Potential of a Telecollaborative Translation Course
Authors: Beecroft Raphaelle , Bauer Petra
Published: January 2022

Difficult global circumstances pose a challenge for face-to-face exchange in higher education level language pedagogy, creating the need for innovative digital alternatives which can be integrated into internationalisation strategies. This chapter presents such an endeavour merging translation and telecollaboration which fosters an interplay of intercultural and functional communicative competence. Combining approaches from translation studies and foreign language pedagogy, it is proposed that telecollaboration creates a plurilingual and pluricultural space within which participants from varying linguacultural backgrounds may collaborate on a common product – a translation. The translation process itself requires intercultural exchange in which participants engage in an immediate manner through online interaction. Preliminary results from a study focussing on a telecollaborative translation course implemented with Durham University German students and prospective English teachers from Karlsruhe University of Education, Germany are presented.

Authors: Rahman Md. Mukhlesur , Shirahada Kunio
Published: January 2022

The study aims to determine how social networking tools can help to engage different actors in archive service systems in value co-creation. With this view, this research reviewed the literature on major issues of archive services and collected primary data from 68 local archive centers in Japan. In addition, Twitter data of the National Archives of Japan were collected and analyzed using SPSS 17.0 and SmartPLS. Results show that the archive service system requires three actors: stakeholders, archive staff, and users. These actors can be connected through social networking tools that enable the integration of knowledge and skills to improve the archive management quality and uplift the value of archival resources. The study proposed an integrated archive management framework incorporating the archive administrators, stakeholders, and users. Implementation of the proposed framework can ensure improved management for stakeholders, easily accessible content for users, and improved service and organizational trust for archive centers.

Evaluation of Mechanical Properties in Concrete Structure Reinforced with Carbon Fiber Coating
Authors: dos Santos Danielle Ferreira , Tayt-Sohn Matheus Dos Reis , Simão Renata Antoun
Published: January 2022

In this study, it was possible to evidence the efficiency of the use of carbon fiber coating in concrete structures and its application to promote the protection and maintenance of these materials, seeking to prolong the useful life of this type of structure. From mechanical tests, such as compressive strength, it was possible to observe an increase of 37% in the breaking load, as well as an increase of about 40% in compressive strength, when compared to tests with pure concrete. Therefore, the results pointed to the optimization of the mechanical properties of the structure, coated with carbon fiber and cured with epoxy resin. In other words, the use of this external load combined with epoxy resin was an important element in concrete reconstruction and reinforcement. Another interesting point was the issue of the high fiber rigidity observed in the AFM, allowing an excellent interaction with the resin in the coating of the specimen. The study showed that this type of coating can be used for the recovery of structures, as well as a reinforcement element, since many projects have difficulties with the high maintenance cost, as well as the daily monitoring of concrete structures.

Authors: Mawuena Medewou , Chetangny Patrice , Aredjodoun Jacques , Chamagne Didier , Barbier Gerald , Houndedako Sossou , Antoine Vianou
Published: January 2022

Within the framework of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) countries power networks interconnection project carried by the West African Power Pool (WAPP), operating guidelines have been defined by WAPP and ECOWAS Regional Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERERA) to ensure efficient operation of the interconnected network. Each operator is obliged to comply with these directives to guarantee the stability and reliability of energy supply to ECOWAS countries. The purpose of this paper is to carry out the study of the power flow on the existing Togo and Benin power transmission network and to propose solutions for compliance with the requirements relating to the voltage level required on the interconnection lines or at connection points with neighboring power network operators. The dynamic stability of generators will also be studied to assess the behavior of the network during major disturbances. CEB (Communauté Electrique du Bénin in french) is the power transmission network operator of the Republic of Togo and the Republic of Benin. After the inventory of CEB transmission and production infrastructure and the consumption report, the model of CEB power network is produced as well as the single-line diagram. The power flow calculation is performed with the Newton-Raphson algorithm and the node voltages were calculated using the Cyme software. From the voltage values obtained at the various nodes and depending on the behavior of each generator, solutions are proposed to improve the voltage plan of the power network in accordance with the recommendations of the Regulatory Authority.

Published: January 2022

Pneumothorax is one of the most common emergencies encountered in day-to-day pulmonary practice. Early diagnosis and prompt intervention will reduce morbidity as well as mortality. The mainstay of treatment involves tube thoracostomy and drainage of pneumothorax in all except the mild cases. Proper technique and ascertaining correct tube position with follow-up imaging ensure successful lung expansion. We share the case of a gentleman who presented with nonexpansion of lung despite inserting 2 intercostal drainage tubes for the management of pneumothorax. Imaging with computed tomography thorax revealed both tubes to be coiled within the chest wall without entry into pleural space, thereby accounting for failed reexpansion. This case stresses the importance of following a structured evaluation in cases of nonexpanding lung after tube thoracostomy for pneumothorax.

Published: January 2022

Introduction:

Dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) is a common chronic condition that affects a high proportion of the adult population and is one of the main reasons why patients seek dental opinion and treatment. Despite considerable success in reducing DH, unfortunately, most of the present methods can provide only temporary and unpredictable desensitization. Therefore, new treatment methods that are effective for long periods and at the same time do not have the complications are needed. Recently, two new desensitizing agents BioMin F and Propolis have been introduced for the treatment of DH.

Aim:

The aim of the study was to compare and evaluate the efficacy of BioMin F and Propolis containing toothpastes on dentinal tubule occlusion with and without the use of an adjunct 810 nm Diode Laser.

Materials and Methods:

Forty-five freshly extracted teeth were taken out of which thirty were sectioned into halves and divided into four test groups BioMin F, Propolis, BioMin F + Laser, and Propolis + Laser and control group. All the specimens were treated twice a day for 7 days and then evaluated under scanning electron microscope for partial and complete dentinal tubule occlusion.

Results:

A significantly higher number of completely occluded tubules were seen in BioMin F + laser group followed by Propolis + laser, Biomin F, and Propolis.

Conclusion:

Combination approach of desensitizing agent and laser provided a better result than the desensitizing agent alone and when compared individually Biomin F was more effective desensitizer as compared to Propolis.

PurposeThis study was to evaluate anti-tumor efficacy of osimertinib in patients positive for acquired epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M mutation in liquid biopsy using plasma, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) or bronchial washing fluid (BWF), and pleural effusion.Materials and MethodsAmong patients benefited from previous EGFR‒tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment followed by treatment failure, patients in whom T790M mutations are detected in at least one of the samples including tumor tissues, BALF/BWF, plasma, and pleural effusion were enrolled. T790M mutation was detected by extracting cell free DNA from liquid biopsy samples, using PANA Mutyper. Objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS) with osimertinib treatment were evaluated.ResultsBetween January 2018 and December 2019, 63 patients were enrolled and received osimertinib. Mean age was 63 years, and 38 (60.3%) were female. Twenty-six patients had T790M mutation in both liquid and tissue samples (group A), 19 patients had only in tissue biopsy samples (group B), and 18 patients had T790M mutation only in liquid biopsy samples (group C). ORR in overall population was 63.5%, and was 61.5% in group A, 68.4% in group B, and 61.1% in group C, respectively. Median PFS in overall patients was 15.6 months (95% confidence interval, 10.7 to 24.2). There was no significant difference in ORR or PFS between groups. ConclusionOsimertinib showed favorable efficacy in lung cancer patients with acquired resistance to prior EGFR-TKI therapies, who screened positive for harboring T790M mutation detected from cell free DNA extracted from plasma, BALF/BWF, and pleural effusion.

Mieczysław Białynia-Rzepecki i Tadeusz Antoni Esman Przyczynek do charakterystyki kadry kierowniczej archiwów państwowych w okresie międzywojennym
Authors: Degen Robert , Syta Krzysztof
Published: January 2022

Artykuł przedstawia Mieczysława Białynię Rzepeckiego i Tadeusza Esmana, kierowników bydgoskiego oddziału Archiwum Państwowego w Poznaniu. Wykorzystano publikowane materiały biograficzne i wyniki kwerendy w archiwach Bydgoszczy i Poznania. Portrety obu archiwistów udało się nieco rozbudować, a ich aktywność umieścić na tle działalności innych kierowników międzywojennych terenowych archiwów państwowych. Wśród kierowników terenowych archiwów państwowych okresu międzywojennego Białynia- Rzepecki i Esman należeli do najmniej licznej grupy pochodzącej z terytorium byłego zaboru pruskiego. Reprezentowali różne generacje archiwistów. Pierwszy, jak co szósty kierownik zaczynał pracę w służbie archiwalnej po sześćdziesiątce, Esman – jak co piąty – przed trzydziestką. Różniło ich wykształcenie, które Białynia-Rzepecki zakończył prawdopodobnie na maturze, a Esman – jak większość szefów archiwów – legitymował się dyplomem uniwersyteckim w zakresie historii. Nie miało to większego wpływu na ich dorobek publikacyjny, choć Esman znalazł się wśród 54 proc. kierowników, którzy przed wojną wydali prace naukowe. Obaj bydgoszczanie, jak większość międzywojennych archiwistów, byli aktywnie społecznie i angażowali się w działalność towarzystwa naukowych.

Mieczysław Białynia-Rzepecki and Tadeusz Antoni Esman. Managerial staff in state archives in the years 1918–1939 — an introduction

Among the field managers working in state archives in the interwar period, Białynia-Rzepecki and Esman belonged to the smallest group coming from the territory of the former Prussian partition. They represented two different generations of archivists: the former started working in archival services after he had turned sixty (just like 18% of managers), while the latter (like 20% of managers) — before he turned thirty. They also had different education: Białynia-Rzepecki finished his at high school, while Esman (like most managers working in archives) had a university degree in history. This had no real impact on how many papers they published, though it was Esman who was in a group of 54% of managers who had published scientific works before the war. They both came from Bydgoszcz and like most archivists in the interwar period they were socially active and involved in the life of scientific societies.
Archiwiści II Rzeczypospolitej w służbie państwa i społeczeństwa
Authors: Mamczak-Gadkowska Irena
Published: January 2022

Archiwiści okresu międzywojennego odegrali znaczącą rolę państwowotwórczą w procesie odbudowy polskiej państwowości. Swoją działalność na rzecz odradzającego się państwa rozpoczęli już w trakcie I wojny światowej, zapobiegając niszczeniu i wywożeniu archiwaliów za granicę i przygotowując pierwsze projekty regulacji normatywnych w odniesieniu do archiwów i służby archiwalnej. Po odzyskaniu niepodległości koncentrowali swój wysiłek na budowaniu scentralizowanej i sprawnie działającej sieci archiwalnej, zarówno w zakresie działań legislacyjnych, jak i organizatorskich, oraz na działaniach rewindykacyjnych. Prowadzili także szeroką działalność popularyzatorską, kształtując przez to świadomość narodową i postawy patriotyczne. Wielu archiwistów z tego okresu wniosło także znaczący wkład w rozwój badań naukowych, zarówno w zakresie historii, jak i archiwistyki.

Archivists in the Second Polish Republic at the service of the state and society

In the period of 1918–1939, archivists played an important role in the process of reconstructing the Polish statehood. They began their work for the rebirth of Poland as early as during the First World War, by preventing the destruction of archival materials and taking them abroad, and preparing the first drafts of normative regulations regarding archives and archival service. After Poland had regained independence, they focused on building a centralized and efficient network of archives. This involved work on legislation and organizational matters, as well as repossession actions. They also actively popularized the subject, thus shaping national awareness and patriotic attitudes. Many archivists from this period significantly contributed to the development of scientific research, both in the field of history and in archival studies.
Strategia dynamicznego rozwoju i jej realizacja na przykładzie Opola w latach 1971–1980
Authors: Bereszyński Zbigniew
Published: January 2022

W 1971 r. władze Polskiej Rzeczypospolitej Ludowej wdrożyły nową strategię gospodarczą, określaną jako strategia dynamicznego rozwoju. Strategia ta, przewidująca szybki rozwój potencjału przemysłowego kraju w połączeniu z poprawą materialnych warunków życia społeczeństwa, zaowocowała również społeczno-gospodarczym rozwojem Opola. Miasto rozrosło się w sensie przestrzennym i demograficznym. Wzbogaciło się o nowe mieszkania i miejsca pracy. Rozwój miasta był jednak wybitnie nierównomierny. W latach 1971–1980 i później zmarnowano ogromną ilość środków finansowych i materialnych na przedsięwzięcia, których nigdy w pełni nie sfinalizowano bądź doprowadzono do końca z dużym opóźnieniem. Niektóre decyzje w sprawie nowych inwestycji okazały się z czasem źle pomyślane. Inwestycje z lat 1971– 1980, oprócz oczywistych korzyści dla miasta, zrodziły również szereg poważnych problemów społecznych. Dziedzictwo to w niejednym przypadku nadal jeszcze bardzo ciąży miastu i jego mieszkańcom.

The strategy of dynamic growth — social and economic growth in Opole in the years 1971–1980

In 1971 the authorities of the Polish People’s Republic implemented a new economic strategy, referred to as the strategy of dynamic growth. The strategy, which assumed rapid industrial growth in combination with an improvement in the living conditions for the general society, resulted in social and economic development, also in the city of Opole. The city grew both in territorial and demographic terms, gaining more housing resources and more jobs. However, this growth was extremely uneven. In the years 1971–1980 and later, enormous amounts of money and materials were wasted on ventures which were significantly delayed or never completed. In hindsight, some decisions regarding new investments turned out to be misguided. On the one hand, investments from the years 1971–1980 benefited the city, but on the other, they caused a number of serious social problems. In many cases, this legacy is still an enormous burden for the city and its residents.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the novel coronavirus (CoV) that emerged from China causing diseases known as COVID-19, mainly involves the respiratory system. It has ravaged through most of the world causing death in huge numbers. CoVs are zoonotic as they are transferred from animals to humans. Several animals have been suggested to be the host for SARS-CoV-2 ranging from bats, camels and pigs. The presence of a type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein called spike protein is responsible for CoVs’ ability to penetrate the host’s tissues. The immune response elicited during the proliferation of SARS-CoV-2 is most largely dependent on the macrophages, dendritic cells, T-cells and the human epithelial cells which determine the aftermath and lodging of chemokines and cytokines. The RT-qPCR is the preferred test for the confirmation of the disease although several Rapid Diagnostic Tests are also in use. Remdesivir, favilavir, niclosamide and ciclesonide are promising drugs under clinical trial or research to manage COVID-19. Several vaccines are also under clinical trial phase to mitigate the effect of COVID-19.  Malaysia had its index case on the January 24th, 2020 and since then, Malaysia handling of the pandemic have been superb, well planned out and worthy of emulation from other countries. They have carried out an unprecedented number of tests surpassing any other country in the region.

Water is the second most important compound after air for the sustenance of life on our planet. It is the most abundant molecule in living cells, essential for the proper functioning of cells. It is one of the cheap vehicles that transport gastro-intestinal diseases. Therefore, water for human consumption must be free from chemical substances and microbes that may cause disease in man. This study was carried out to determine bacteriological quality of water sold in jerry cans within Katsina metropolis. Twenty different water samples (Five each from Kofar kaura, Kofar marusa, Dakitara and Filin polo) were collected and transported to the laboratory for analyses. Temperature and pH values of each sample were measured accordingly. The samples were subjected to aerobic mesophilic bacterial count, Coliform count and detection of Escherichia coli. The result showed temperature values in the range of 23oC to 26oCwhile pH measurements were in the range of 6.9 to 7.3. Samples from Kofar kaura, Kofar marusa, Daki tara and Filin polo had mean bacterial counts of1.718×106, 1.052×106, 2.042×106 and 1.612×106colony forming units per milliliter (CFU/mL) respectively, and mean coliform counts of 25.2, 122.6, 77 and 128 CFU/mL respectively. All samples from all the sampling points contained E. coli. The study stresses the need for environmental and personal hygiene by all water vendors. It is, however, recommended that water retailing by truck pushers be monitored and regulated to avoid the risk of a point-source epidemic.

Hepatitis B virus infection is a global public health issue. It can result in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and liver cirrhosis when not properly managed. The discovery of Hepatitis B vaccine and its incorporation into immunization programmes has brought a drastic decline in the incidence of both chronic and acute hepatitis B. However, this achievement is being confronted by cases of vaccine sub-optimal immune response, non-responsiveness and breakthrough infection which may be associated with the host’s genetic predisposition such as; ABO/Rhesus blood groups and hemoglobin genotype. The study aimed at investigating hepatitis B vaccines responsiveness (immunogenicity) and its association with the hosts’ ABO and Rhesus blood group among vaccinated subjects in Bauchi State Nigeria. This was a cross-sectional investigation comprising of 352 subjects of both sexes from age 1 year to 60 years. Out of the 352 subjects, 196 were vaccinated while 156 were unvaccinated. 5mL of blood samples were collected and analyzed for determination of both ABO and Rhesus blood group while the plasma part of the samples was tested for anti-HBs antibodies by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results revealed that 96(49.0%) of the vaccinated subjects had anti-HBs level ≥ 10 IU/L, 65(33.2%) had ≤ 10 IU/L and 35(17.9%) were non-responders while 26(16.7%) of the unvaccinated subjects had anti-HBs level ≥ 10 IU/L (P = 0.003). On the relationship between the ABO/Rhesus group and vaccine immunogenicity, blood group AB had 100% sub-optimal response while group B had 34.2% suboptimal response and 21% non-responders. Blood group A and O had the highest ≥ 10 IU/L anti-HBs protective level of 52.8% and 50.0% respectively. However, there was no significant association between HBV vaccine responsiveness and hosts’ ABO/Rhesus. The protective rate against HBV infection was moderate. Nevertheless, some blood types had higher responses than others. Therefore, a considerable proportion of vaccinated persons should be considered for either booster doses or revaccination.

يهدف المقال إلى توضيح موقف تركيا من مطالب إقليم كردستان العراق بالاستقلال في عام 2017. فبرغم أن العلاقات بين الجانبين (تركيا وحكومة إقليم كردستان) كانت تشهد تطوراً ملحوظاً والعديد من الاتفاقيات في الجوانب السياسية والعسكرية والاقتصادية والثقافية، إلا ان تلك العلاقات توترت في ذلك الوقت بسبب الخطوة التي اتخذتها القيادة الكردية بإجراء الاستفتاء على الإستقلال عن العراق في الخامس والعشرين من أيلول/سبتمبر/ سبتمبر 2017، والتي رفضتها تركيا، واتخذت أنقرة خطوات جادة لمنع تنفيذ هذا المشروع، بما في ذلك إجراءات اقتصادية مشددة ضد حكومة إقليم كردستان. فضلت تركيا الوقوف مع وحدة وسيادة العراق بدلاً من الوقوف مع مصالحها مع إقليم كردستان العراق. ولم توقف تركيا ضغوطها حتى أعلنت قيادة إقليم كردستان العراق إلغاء نتائج هذا الاستفتاء، وقد رحبت تركيا بخطوة الإلغاء تلك بشدة.
